Sam is a great person to deal with. Hassle free, easy going and does what he says he's going to do. Highly recommended.

Bought a Steinberg interface from Nick. Great deal and a nice guy to deal with. Well packed and very prompt delivery. Highly recommended.

Well, I didn't win it. I put in a max of £21 and it apparently went for £46 so I can only assume that a couple of you drove up to, or down to Norfolk yesterday, scuppered my plans. and are at this moment, burning it. Shame, I feel that we've all lost out in a way🤣

Yes, great isn't it. I'll find out later if I've won it at auction😂

It's only me then that sees a certain charm about this instrument😂

Okay, your input has helped me make up my mind. I'm bidding up to £20🤣

That's an auction lot number.

I'm guessing it's home-made but who knows? I just find it intriguing.

Michael William Connolly or Pete Riley. Both in Essex though. You'll find them both on Face book.

It's Classic rock now, but not at the time😄 It was Heavy rock.

Not that I'm a fan of hers but I imagine not too many people realised Dylan had written one of Adele's biggest hits when it stormed the charts.

Very underrated player. Fair songwriter too he was. Big loss.

Spooky, Classics lV , Dusty Springfield, Atlanta rhythm section but original was Mike Shapiro as an instrumental. Never knew.

Exactly this. Being the weakest is the best reason and opportunity to improve. Being the best is also great, but only for about 10 minutes when the frustration sets in.

You know that bit in Lord of the rings where the Elves, Bilbo and a few others load themselves onto some sort of Viking barge and sail off to somewhere, citing that now, is the time of men and it's all over for magical beings? Well that's how it feels to me. I started out, in the unreliable group van, playing to 6 people in the back room of a grubby London pub, and then having a row to get your £15 for the gig because the idiot landlord was too tight to put a 30 bob ad in Melody Maker. No-one has to do that nowadays and all the work, the effort and the s h i t gigs back then only strengthened our resolve to carry on and make it, whether you made it or not. At nearly 70, I'm tired and worn out, with no real interest in playing but, will no doubt finish my days playing 4 village fete charity gigs a year with three other old lags who did the same things I did 50 years ago. Not so much the music, but the way things are done has changed beyond recognition. We (bands) are now merely passengers, on a sinking ship.

Always expect......the unexpected.😆

Seulement jusqu'à ce que la colombe soit abattue par les chasseurs😆

As a natural progression from the original thread, what's your preference of wood for lolly sticks? Poplar seems to have a nice sturdy yet flexible quality whilst teasing the consumer with a feint earthy background taste. But, the dependable Baltic birch gets my vote. A totally different density leaves one with a confidence that your stick won't result in your Magnum hitting the deck. Of course, many still revere the legendary 64 Mivvi stick ( the go to lolly of choice for legends such as Anthony Newley and Screaming Lord Sutch ) To find one in original condition....one can only dream.

Okay, I've just done my own test. Same bass. Same amp. Same flat settings. Finger style in same position over pickup. Only variable, three glasses of Fitou in between. It does actually make a difference to the perceived tone. Tomorrow evening, I will repeat, but with a Montrachet and see what transpires.
