    You could argue that Simon has done little of worth since 'Graceland'. 'Rhythm Of The Saints' was hardly incredible, though it had a handful of glorious tunes on it ...

    Really? I think that it might actually be a better record than 'Graceland', if you take the political aspect away. 'Graceland' was groundbreaking and politically charged in the context of one country's relations. 'Rhythm of the Saints' didn't have that going for it, and it was always going to sound like a lesser record as a result. That doesn't mean it is a lesser record.

    It would work, the bass would also balance better.

    On the downside though, your bass won't be as manouverable (IME at least from experience with acoustic guitars, they just kinda stick in the position they're in, more prone to laying horizontal too) and you have the extra weight on the neck (and basses are heavier than acoustic guitars). If you move about whilst playing, they're both considerations.

    Thanks :) That's how I have my Ashbory, BTW - almost vertical.

  3. Bought Mr Foxen's no-name Jazz. All as advertised, communication clear and to the point, good packing, fast despatch. A nice smooth transaction.
    No hesitation in dealing with him again. Thanks :)

    Leo Fender also put a strap button on the back of the head stock, because that's where guitar players put their straps. What else was he going to do?

    Did that not work? I've wondered about this.

  5. I bought a set of flatwounds from Stephen. Good communication, prompt despatch, nice guy. He was very quick to spot and sort out a minor glitch in the transaction. I'd be quite happy to deal with him again.
