The depressing thing is that when you do go to the trouble of putting them in, no-one else notices. But you do feel better about yourself...😂

Recently fitted Gemini Mountain Lightning pickups to my JB. They sound immensely good, and Mike is a great guy to deal with.

Unplugged quickie...(my previous description might not have been entirely accurate, but this is what I meant...😊) IMG_2802-1.mov

I play it slightly differently, with my index finger (not thumb) playing the open A (raking down from the D string on the G and F#) and an extra 1/16th note open A between each 1/8 note group. Would be a lot easier to demonstrate than describe...😀 The extra open A really helps to drive the rhythm along, and feels really natural once you get the hang of it.

Bought HX Stomp + bits n bobs from Andy. Very helpful guy, quick delivery, couldn't be better!

Well, personal taste comes into it of course, but to my eyes the curves of both the Sadowsky and A-C headstocks flow naturally into one another, and work well together. The Sire headstock is just an awkward-looking mess that makes no geometric sense. One could well say "so what" and that's a perfectly valid position to take. 😀

Yes, I see you're right now. Had it down as a standard V7 when I saw them last night, but I was a fair way back.
