I'm gonna nominate one of the players who has had most influence on me it's hard to say which one the most but I'm gonna go with Neil Murray. Probably overlooked for the un-trendy band he main work was with. Tasty playing on this.

Many years ago I disappeared down a wattage rabbit hole in the Amps and cab section. It was very enlightening. The main thing I learned I wattage doesn't mean volume. Learned all sorts about ohm's, matching cabs, speaker sizes, dispersion etc. It's worth a go

My thoughts are with you at this difficult time!

What about getting both getting a train and meeting half way, like Stoke or Stafford? Probably Stafford, no-one should have to go to Stoke!

I'm not so sure yet, going on well in some places and not others. I'm hoping it builds up well but I have no experience in this. I also ordered the silver highlights so if it doesn't look good I may just splurge them all over it. If I'm still not happy I'll end up spraying it in orange nitro.

I always make the guitar players roll lots of bass of their sounds. I tell them 'that's not for you'

First coat (deep coat)

I've also sanded the body down today ready for staining. Spent about 2 hrs doing it but I'm not 100% I've done the sides enough. I will probably give them a quick going over again.

The neck is now finished. I'm not over the moon with it. I think I didn't sand it enough before staining so the finish seems a bit thin and uneven. I can live with it though.

I saw 'intermittent tinnitus' at a prog festival in the 90s. Great band!

Just caught a bit of Elbow's performance. I really don't get elbow and the fuss around them. They are just so boring.

Just stand behind your grunge influences and get rid of the guitar solo. Also, call the guitarist a fret wombler. That's what I remember from the 90s anyway. (Obviously I didn't type wombler)

But which pick is the best pick for good songs to learn with a pick?

I absolutely can't get enough of this at the minute. Listening to it back to back.

Been firing band members since I was 14. Not had to do it though in the last er......lots of years because I struggle to find the right people. My best experience though was getting fired from a band I wasn't even in!

Pe'ple w'uld also h've less time t' do th'ngs tha' mat'er.

You also need Motorhead police and Umlaut Police. As predictive text split the word and gods knows how to do umlauts.

Not instrument snobbery but musical snobbery. I went to a Jazz Fusion jam night in Manchester in the mid noughties. I was wearing a motor head T shirt. I got up with a guitarist mate to jam and the drummer said in a derisory tone " you're wearing the wrong t shirt for here mate". I said " just play you're f*##ing drums and try to keep up" We dragged em all over the place, musically speaking.

I've just applied the first coat of the wudtone colourless base coat. It seem to take better in some places than others. Having never done an oil finish before I'm not sure if this normal. I'm assuming I haven't sanded it as well in some places. It seems to have taken everywhere though and it's all on the back so not too bothered. I'll see how it dries. Still got two more base coats and then three top coats to do.

Double post

Name burnt into the headstock. Gonna use the wudtone neck finish over the next few days. Once that is done its will just be a case of sanding and staining the body. Then attaching all the bits to it. Hopefully I'll have it done by the end of the month.

Nevermind selling things, they are just time wasters in general. Currently putting a band together for a one off gig. A pretty big gig. Supporting named acts at a festival. A guy said he do it one week, quit before the first rehearsal a week later. Saying didn't have time.

I've been in a band with her.
