Okay thanks for your thoughts, sounds like I wasn’t being over-sensitive then

Wow … I did not know that could happen to people …

after a few songs of playing along with an acoustic singer/guitarist aka host and his singing buddy (who was much more personable) …I was asked “if I could play an acoustic guitar instead” … it’s advertised as an “open mic night” (ie word “acoustic” nowhere in sight, then anything goes IMHO, even a triangle or a violin (one I go to regularly features a very Downs guy who plays really good violin, violin is hard and doubly so if you’re not fully physically able. He goes down a storm and deservedly so) after I’d finished feeling sick at the thought, I said “I can, but I choose not to” and left. I didn’t suggest he was some rearranged version of the danish spelling of Canute. am I being unreasonable here ? I didn’t know what song the host/“star” was playing until he started it, and I quickly googled the chords and improvised. Valuable skill I know, not very nice to me, but I’m using to winging it in other fields so I shrug and get on it. My volume was deliberately low and I tried not to upstage him in any way he was complaining no one else turned up to play, beginning to wonder why (not!), he even made an acid remark about lack of applause nice pub, landlord and young barmaid were very nice and good beer too. Not going to name the venue as they don’t deserve the bad publicity p bass with flats and a spot of “tube preamp” and compression from the zoom b2.1. Sounded pretty good actually, pleasantly surprised at the sound from the monitors

Abundance of popcorn in the locality? I may need a comfy chair also

Some people do take such ironic comments literally, I’m afraid, which is why I added the caveat and hashtag

If it’s not much better now, it’s still better, maybe the wood has seasoned and improved and it’s a better letter rack now that time has passed. Why have a well-made CNC-machined sturdy letter rack when you could have a nice, resonant but indifferently-made one crafted from older and thus better wood ? #irony (just in case)

@Newfoundfreedom it was tested by a few midlands members at the 2021 bash who seemed happy “good stingray sound” was one comment partner bought it for me so never going up for sale

I have a Vintage and it’s very good active version of this

Been listed by someone who cannot spell “guitar” and not fail at it.

It’s made of gold, right ? Phew …

And they’re twins so either they are actually sick of each other or are so similar that they’re actually sick of themselves

He’s a member here, someone should tag him

He was absolutely brilliant when I was enquiring about piezo bridges for a jazz bass

People get ready (there’s a train a coming) might be good

I think the pogues “if I should fall from grace with God” and g’n’r “knocking on heavens door” would be humorous choices

That was the guitar side … 🙄

Wonder if his cell mate will say the same ? :🤷‍♂️🤔

🍿 In the custom shop order process, is there a toggle to add “touched by pixies”?

You should plait those ends … like a string goatee

Coming up Trumps there

yes they do. I like it
