Bought a cab from Tim. He went the extra mile with communication and packing, couldn't ask for more Thanks Tim, a pleasure

Just checked his discography, he recorded 43 No 1 singles, what a career

We all do gigs that after a while just blend one into the other, but last night was an evening I'll never forget. The band has set up and were relaxing in a side room when the drummer looked through the window and shot out of his chair like a rocket. We all followed him to the front door and met Clem Cattini and his wife, Clem was the drummer of the Tornados, the group that recorded Telestar, one of the sound tracks of my childhood Clem was the complete gentleman, he signed the drummer's Ludwig drum and talked with us for ages. Clem recorded Shaking All Over, No milk today (Hermans Hermits), early Kinks tracks and dozens of other famous songs in the 60's. He introduced John Lennon to BIlly Fury when the Beatles were the Silver Beatles, the list goes on and on. It was his birthday the day before, so we sang happy birthday for him, he looked genuinely pleased. At the end of the night Clem thanked us for playing and said how much he enjoyed the band, I'll never forget how friendly he is how he just talked with us all as if he was one of the gang. He's written a book about his career which I've ordered this morning God bless you Clem, thank you for a memorable evening which I'll never forget

Johann's UL 310 came my way, he made the whole thing easy and straightforward, thanks Johann

If you grew up anywhere near a guitar in the 1960's and 1970's, you'll have heard the riff to House of the Rising Sun. Everyone learned it, most didn't play it properly, but we all paid homage. RIP Hilton Valentine, thanks for the riff of a lifetime

Bought a Squier electrics book from Mickey, in great condition and packaged really well, all the elements of someone that cares about what they do Thanks Mickey, appreciated

MIke sold me an SR500, he was kind enough to hold on to it for a bit until I had the ackers together, bless him. Straight deal all the way, came really well packaged too, you can tell when someone cares about what they do Thanks for a nice playing instrument Mike, good price too All the best Tom

Bought yet another loom from John, it really does make changing the electrics an easy job, everything as it should be, thanks again John !

I'm really curious about this amp. On the topic of reducing the mids by raising the bass and treble, does this create boom or notable bottom end bloom from the bass control and zing (or something like it) from the higher treble setting ? I guess I'm used to parametrics where one range can be adjusted without messing about with the rest Thanks all
