    That looks the bee's knees.

    Definitely, that cheesy keyboard sound is like fingernails on a blackboard to me.

    I’m a huge Peter Gabriel fan, So being my favourite album of all time. However, the last offering, I/O, seems to be just rehashed versions of old tunes, with mixes that leave me lukewarm at best. I’m very disappointed.

    Dean Friedman at Blair Atholl Castle. Nearly 70 years old, but still able to hit the high notes that he originally sang back in ‘78. Intimate gig, with a small audience, but Dean gave his all and was quite the raconteur. He stayed around to sign merch or have a selfie, I ended buying Well Well Said The Rocking Chair again 46 years on.

    I’ve managed to talk myself out of the Cali76! Do I have split personality disorder, or have I been abducted by aliens and had the GAS secreting gland removed?

    That looks awesome, I might have to do that to mine.

    Another month and I’m still here! My 2nd tier Gretsch GAS was abated by reasoning that I really barely play my 6 stringers anyway and it would be just frivolous (still not out of the question mind). However, I’m inching closer to pulling the trigger on a Cali76, so might not make it until September, but this is surely the longest I’ve gone without new gear for absolutely ages.

    Insulating tape over the shielding, it’s what I had to do with my P, because the cavity was so tight, there was very little tolerance for any components that had twisted.

    He really doesn’t look it. Still out there, doing the do at 72, with gusto; the man is a force of nature. His book, if you haven’t read it, Riding Shotgun, is a pretty good read.

    What a great and thorough answer. The last paragraph was about to stir up the BC locals with torches and pitchforks, but you saved it with the closing phrase.

    Nothing wrong with using a pick but, if you’d rather not, try 3 finger trills, I go: ring, middle, index, repeat.

    Who are you and what have you done with @AndyTravis?

    GrooveHeart, GrooveHeartBeat, something along those lines. However, I will also proffer my usual suggestion, from Tony Levin’s list of unused band names - Post Burrito Depression.

    If that had been the neck pocket gap on my old ‘63 P, I would have described it as airtight by comparison. Really, the gap was HUGE! Still sounded fantastic and never moved. I understand the reasoning and general consensus behind a tight neck pocket and I used to think the same way too, now I’m a bit more laissez faire about it.

    Aesthetically, that’s a huge improvement IMO and if the sound is now more to your liking, then that’s a win all round. Ouststanding 👏👏👏.

    That is fantastic looking, everything is just right. I’m not normally a fan of that shape on a bass, but Maruszczyk have nailed it with this. Cracks in the nitro finish, completely natural.

    A username I regret. It’s not meant to mean easy, it’s the first 2 letters of my actual name added to my instrument of choice.
