Davo-London

I never liked Percy's tone once he dropped the Wal. Probably heresy, but it's my personal view. Peace Davo

Hi I have a very lightweight precision body and need to marry it up with the lightest neck I can get my hands on. Two problems; 1) no-one seems to state what the neck weights are, and 2) where could I source a lightweight neck? I really want a Telecaster neck with rosewood fingerboard!! Peace Davo

Good shout.

Oh my there's some heavy gauge strings suggested ... I'm obviously a wimp but I prefer 40 - 100 gauge and have used DR Sunbeams for a number of years. These are nickel and have a long life, losing their trebleness gradually. I prefer light gauge because it just feels right in my hands. Experiment till you find what you like. My recommendation is to stick with a single manufacturer - try all their strings and when you have found your fave try similar strings from other brands. Peace Davo

Plus Sting, he gets a lot of flak but he was influential to me ...

Burke Shelley - Budgie

OMG this is the kind of playing that I aspire to. Slightly greasy, very groovy, very dance-able, totally fab. Great human being too. Peace Davo

I agree great album, I bought it by chance really, back in the day when you bought stuff unheard. I find Holdsworth very melodic and modern - absolutely love his playing. Bruford was a talent though. Peace Davo

Ninjam looks horribly complicated. Has anyone actually used it? Davo

I have tried Jammr and JamKazam. I have a direct connection to the router via an ethernet cable. Both were very laggy indeed. It wasn't milliseconds more like seconds. Now neither of my fellow musicians had ethernet connections so that could be the problem. Both sets of software are poor. The JamKazam is absolutely dreadful in my humble view. See if you can get it working without swearing and wondering why didn't they make it simpler? Great idea, I've yet to see it work. I've looked at Lawson's blog but this is about gigs online rather than playing with yer chums. Peace Davo

North Korea?

There's too much hatred in this world. I'm not sure this helps. Peace Davo

I agree that the prices are reasonable for such a small gig. I'm in, but I'm trying to get a buddy to go ... Peace

He's a terrible player - OMG classic.

One of my primary influences as a teenager. We used to go and see Budgie in pubs when we were underage! Happy days. I play a beaten up 60's Precision so the influence has lasted well. Davo
