1.  Proper vintage Aston Martin DB5 – ejector seat n all

2.  Lifetime supply of Laphroaig 18, no blended shite

3.  Private island off the Hebrides, windy, quiet, zero neighbours

4.  Full workshop, every tool known to man (and a few that ain’t)

5.  World peace… or a mute button for the group chat 😂

Good question.

 

1: NeuralDSP's Mantra all-in-one vocal plugin. I tried the demo and found it very useful and easy and as someone who often gives up at the vocal stages of writing it got me to finish a few in the 14 day trial period.

 

2: A good random orbit sander and polisher as I have 2 bodies to do.

 

3: A set of good Filtertron type guitar pickups. Lollartrons or Oil City or something like that. Nice and twangy and dirty.

 

4: Some good fretwork tools. Fret rocker, files, that sort of thing.

 

5: The "never gonna happen" prezzie - I'd love a shed big enough to be a little workshop, with power and lighting and so on. At the moment I use my work desk to work on instruments so I can't leave anything overnight on a weekday as I need the desk to earn money. It's very frustrating. A big shed would be ace. Alternatively my kids could move out and I could use a bedroom!
