Happy Jack

Rotating gear? I used to have a Leslie ...

Maybe it's the photography, but I'm not convinced that's the original finish, and the fretboard looks odd to me. That, plus it's a crushed vertebra waiting to happen ...

I find people are too busy laughing to offer any comment.

Biggest hard nut? No problem. [URL=http://s1128.photobucket.com/user/h4ppyjack/media/Just%20Stuff/Sundry/Flatmate_zpsbeb4c454.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m496/h4ppyjack/Just%20Stuff/Sundry/Flatmate_zpsbeb4c454.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

I see you've crossed Angela Merkel off the list then ...

We were just standing in for Wet Wet Wet.

My long term guitar tech works on Nash basses quite frequently. He is very uncomplimentary about them, both as relics and as players. There are much better mojo basses available, and for less money.

This is why I won't store my music in the cloud.

Could well be worth that for the spares ...

The first fruits of Brexit ...

Apparently it's "left-handed" because it's been strung that way. God knows where the scale length has ended up, or whether the intonation actually works. The parts used may well be from 1963/64. They could equally well be from almost any other year in a 20-year period. Run away!

In Nashville, set aside an entire evening just to drift from bar to bar along the strip. The quantity of music, and the standard of musicianship and showmanship on display on any random evening will take your breath away. Then the locals tell you that the best musicians playing in bars tonight never play the strip ...

You are insufficiently weird, and far too predictable. You need something by Earthquaker Devices ... http://earthquakerdevices.com/ They're effects, Nancy, but not as we know it.

Damn! I'm playing at a street market by Kew Gardens Station on 3rd July. That's only a mile from Richmond, but we're playing at lunchtime so your trip to London will be in vain ... you'll have missed my gig.

Legacy of a stolen motorbike. Comes with the KTM Powerparts catalogue 2014.

Oh I intended no criticism of the guitarist - my post was just admiration for her playing.

Getting the pole pieces to line up was clearly more of a challenge than Bill expected ...

Strange fruit indeed ...
