The Wurzles? My feeling is regional accents (of whatever country) will always add to the feeling and authenticity of a song - thinking Lindisfarne, Amy MacDonald, Mary Hopkin etc, and good examples in previous posts. What can really irritate are blatant put-on accents (UB40’s mock Jamaican springs very much to mind) - exception is Chrissie Hynde’s luscious singing voice which has always sounded distinctly accented French to me, although I believe she comes from Akron Ohio......

Bought a bridge and pick-guard off Mike this week at a helluva good price; lovely guy to chat with, deal couldn’t have been easier, and the goods arrived almost instantly and really well wrapped/packed. I’d deal with Mike again without hesitation - many thanks fella!

It still gives me a pang of guilt that I once got a perfectly good Squier MB1 P/J bass in a Crack Converters down from £100 to £50 as I demonstrated to the staff that one of the volume knobs wasn’t working. Turns out (after I got it home) that it was the pan / blend control, I hadn’t had a bass with one before......
