Not ticketed, but aside from festivals our biggest crowds have been pay at the door events rather than free ones.

It's not really weedy, it's just that P and J pickups require different gain settings to perform at their best.

If you really want to own one, they are still available new. Vox are even selling them via Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vox-Starstream-1H-Guitar-Humbucker/dp/B08N9Q27SX?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE (I now feel dirty for pimping these things...)

Went to a private 'birthday party open mic' last night. Good idea for a party, my btother is planning something similar for his 60th. Some friends debuted their new band with a few songs. I got asked to back a few people. A fun, mellow night.

Alex was trying out his new Gretsch Electromatic for the first time. I barely appear in the short vid below, but it gives an idea. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?id=100024370338008&story_fbid=1613621292793533

The youngsters need to be in bed early.

The basic shape is ugh... but then add two stumpy little feet...

We do simple man 😁

Had this since my late teens.

You've never heard Freebird before? I first heard it maybe 45 years ago? It still amazes and moves me. You have just had an amazing epihany, I envy you.

What's great about a 3 piece is it's easy to change things or even make it up on the spot.

Squier Wiki has incomplete information on the strat. Says the body is 'popular' and they are made in ... China!

Dpd - dodgy parcel destruction.

Whoops!

The thread had gone too far and wasn't worth trying to correct it now but nice to hear it explained. I wasn't aware of house right and left, so that's a bonus. Dave What are PA left and right?
