  1. Don’t reckon they owned any ships either. Mind you, if you’re going to be lied to, then it might as well be by Scott. He could sing the Yellow Pages and make it sound wonderful. In fact he did once, took a while before he got to the number I wanted, but it was worth it. Sadly the guitar “restorer” I was after didn’t answer. 🤡
  2. Actually, I’ve decided to buy one in the uk, but spend 3 times the amount for it https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/193546385183
  3. Just put one in my “shopping basket”. Can’t do any harm there can it? It’s not like I’ve bought one or anything? Just in the basket, sitting there safe and sound from slappy’s grasp 😌
  4. Ooh just had a look at those. Not slabbed body from the pics? I like chunky necks, and weight not an issue for home use. Ideal for “modding” too.
  5. Thing is, I’m a fan of Mr Sumner, as a musician and composer. But don’t feel the need to advertise it every time I play. Bit sad really.
  6. Dear Mr PO Darkness, Regarding the facial expression described. People are more likely to think you are grumpy than “insane”. However, I do understand that “peeved” lacks the necessary dark and threatening gravitas, and would be incongruous with the musical accompaniment offered by his Royal lefthandedness. Kind regards Mr I. Man
  7. I’d be up for buying one of these, if the 12th fret didn’t have one those!
  8. I can imagine how annoying that would be for you Paul, being a plantsman n’all. ☹️
  9. Didn’t Micheal Hutchens front InExcel? He was pretty rocknroll
  10. It’s a thing. Airturn make good bluetooth pedals for it. The BL has one for scrolling down the lyrics as well as “turning pages”.
  11. Nothing wrong with your playing Stew! Very nice actually. I’d keep it, always nice to have one in your collection.😎
  12. Unfortunately these days I’d have to tape a set list onto the back of one of the backing vocalists to be able to see it. In their words “John, you have the best view in the house”.....I try hard each gig not to look like some old letch, so iPad on a mic stand, gaze averted, job done. But set list on floor or monitor is traditionally more “RnR”. It’s just too far away to see. 🤦🏻‍♂️
  13. I use one live and in the studio. Loads of app options for set lists, or get a pen so you can “write” your crib sheets on Word or PDF sheets and organise them however you need Nick. I use a mic stand holder, and as HJ said screen enlargement is so useful. Go for it.
  14. If the buyer doesn’t want the pickup cover Stew.... let me know please. I’m not far from Midsomer murders. John
  15. Myth Esperanza Spalding Myth Gail Anne Dorsey Myth Suzie Quatro Ive heard of all of these. Sorry, it’s been a slow day so far today. I’ll put Bargain Hunt on.
  16. Quite. Along with “the more notes I play, the more (I will finally gain my dads approval) people will like me” And “I’m not bitter that Adam Clayton is filthy rich” (see above) Also see ”Small droplets of theory brings on COVID 19” 🤦🏻‍♂️🥳🤡
  17. Only if you’re wearing it at the time please.
  18. Sharpie on the headstock = + £££‘S 🤑
  19. Why over complicate the concept?
  20. I bought a bass. It was ok, but for the money it was good. Sold it within a month or so. But I bought a classical at the same time, it was superb value for money. Really well made, cut away body, sounded great and after a quick set up with new strings and lowering the saddle, played very well. Kept that for about 4-5 years. Gave it away in the end as I bought a higher end Yamaha. I’d buy another in a heartbeat, but can’t find one anywhere.
  21. First time I’ve listened to any IM. Listening on headphones, I didn’t think his “clank” was unpleasant. I find CS’s “clank” too much, but he played a ClankStick and was his sig sound. A couple of things I was surprised at though: It’s quite unusual to me to see 3 guitarists all playing Strats, usually one will have a LP or some kind of pointy headstock, no? I found myself holding my breath listening to the singer, thinking “breath you bugger, breath”, bit like when I watch someone struggling underwater in a film. I’m off to do some Air Lunges. Thanks for posting.
  22. Pierre Brock. Loved his playing with Robert Palmer. He did a bit with some outfit called Gibson Brothers, but no idea of what he did since. His playing on “Woman you’re wonderful” is fab.
  23. Presumably designed and knocked up on a Friday afternoon by the eminent Welsh pugilist Percy Jones? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254600687204
