  1. I used that stringing method with my first set of Cobalts, but haven’t bothered since. I can’t say I have noticed any difference when in use, just less of a faff to fit.
  2. Ah! I saw the end of the word medium, but didn’t clock the word gauge and assumed they were medium scale. Off on my high horse a bit prematurely there; apologies. 🤦🏻
  3. I reckon they put short scale strings in a medium scale packet. I’d send them back or at least com0lain to the retailer and D’Addario.
  4. Firth of Fifth - Genesis
  5. Wooden It Be Good - Nik Kershaw
  6. Arco Precision, what would Leo have made of that?
  7. There you go. You already sing a couple of songs that others continue to allow you to; can’t be all that bad. Providing a song is in the baritone range and needs a voice akin to Byrne/Bowie/Ferry/Sylvian, etc, I’ll give it a go. Playing and singing at the same time needs lots of homework for me; singing and playing China Girl took me ages to get ‘right’*. *passable.
  8. The Heat Is On - Glenn Frey
  9. Fat Man in the Bathtub - Little Feat (sorry no pun, but c’mon, it’s Little Feat).
  10. Singing well is hard and a proper talent (although it can be learnt if you can hold a tune) and I’ve had the privilege to work with some really top notch vocalists, one of whom will have graced your TV screens at various big events. Average singers are ten a penny, however, whilst bad singers are even more prevalent. I’ve observed that their talent is normally in inverse proportion to how good they think they are.
  11. Copper taped my JMJ, worked a treat, just make sure that some tape makes contact with the control plate (I didn’t first time 🤦🏻).
  12. For me: 1972 You are not worthy. 2022 No, still not worthy.
  13. Smashing! Short scales do seem to be very authoritative in a mix (more fundamental, less harmonics) and they take pitch based FX brilliantly.
  14. Good grief!
  15. The Dregs! What a guitar player Steve Morse is. So sad that he’s had to call it a day.
  16. Just as silly to have the mids off. Either way, should be OK for a cover if you add some drive.
  17. Nothing Ever Happens - Del Amitri
  18. Hope it stays asymptomatic and clears up soon.
  19. If I Were A Rich Man - Topol
  20. Custard Pie - Led Zep
  21. Eton Trifles - The Jam
  22. I Genoa A Little - Lynyrd Skynyrd
  23. I Knew the Bridie - Nick Lowe (a bridie is a Scottish pie/pasty affair if you were wondering).
  24. Jennifer Eccles - The Hollies
