Watching it has made me want to go and learn it. I must be a masochist

I've played with a session guitarist who used a Peterson and it was incredible. How old is your Wal (and does it sound better than the PRS?)

The black one is just wrong! This is the wrong way up (for most people), but a detail from my 1980 Stingray

I saw them live about that time (cod-pieces and all). I think they were the loudest band I have ever seen (including Motorhead etc etc). My ears were distorting in the Hammersmith Odeon.

Looking at what's available on't internet, maybe my recollection is fuzzy (if not flanged!)

And my recollection of MXR flangers from the time of New Gold Dream was that they were a lot more basic than the one you see now. I remember asking Derek about his effects then, and he said 'he just used an MXR Flanger' (and an SVT).

I don't know how to copy old threads from the site...maybe the Mods can help, but this is quite funny from 15 years ago! (and it doesn't quite tell you the answer!) Basschat Derek Forbes Interview By Linus27, July 6, 2010 in General Discussion

If not, it was the book launch/masterclass of 'A Very Simple Mind' in Walthamstow (of all places)
