That's a positive... I emailed DR three times about a duff G in the Black Beauties I bought and didn't get a thing in response. Guess who's never buying DRs again? The JHS website shows this as their registered office: John Hornby Skewes & Co. Ltd. Salem House, Parkinson Approach, Garforth, Leeds LS25 2HR, UK. Tel: +44 (0) 113 286 5381 But it also says: "Please note, as TRADE ONLY distributors we do not sell direct to the general public". Will that affect your string issue? From whom did you actually buy them?

Soul with a Capital S - Tower of Power

Spinning Wheel - Blood, Sweat & Tears

Diggin' My Potatoes - Buddy Guy/Junior Wells

Corpse Grinder - The Meteors

Galloping Home - Denis King

And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda - Eric Bogle I challenge you to listen to this with entirely dry eyes.

Deadman's Curve - Jan & Dean

Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? - Harburg/Gorney

Police and Thieves - Junior Murvin

Hipshot D-tuners, as many others have said. ABM monorail bridge pieces Delano pickups... they would be a no-brainer addition to any future build I commissioned.

F**k Tha Police - NWA

Fly on the Wall · AC/DC

Omelette from Outer Space - Adam & The Ants

Matchbox - Carl Perkins

I concur. There's definitely something Rayish going on in that tone.

Last Train Home - Pat Metheny

IIRC Eddy Grant was so fed up with the obsessive labelling and mislabelling of genres that he called one of his albums "File Under Rock".

Bang on. Nobody is forcing anyone to participate, and IMHO @stewblack is quite right -- it encapsulates the evolution of popular music. Always an interesting topic. I never got on with Leb personally, I was definitely more of a Rocky Black man. I recall some absolutely banzai grass doing the rounds in our town for a few months too.

There speaks a man with no Thunderbird

The Mekon fingers are a clue, aren't they?

The Old Rugged Cross - trad

My ABG is a Tanglewood 'Rosewood Reserve', a really lovely thing of loveliness. I hated the feel of the phos-bronze strings, so just as an experiment I fitted an old set of Elixir nickels from one of my gigging basses. SO much better!

Wooden Tít Be Nice - Beach Boys

Yes, my thoughts entirely. A J/P/Ray along those Tele lines would look amazing I reckon.
