Aaah ok thanks. I’ll consider this my entry into the work of Paul Webb. I’ll explore some more talk talk tomorrow.

Agreed with the above, Tony is a monster player. One of the rare breed that can find the space for supportive melodies in his playing. Busy but not overplaying.

This was suggested for my covers band and it’s got a corker of a bassline. Original by talk talk. Lots going on in this one, especially in the pre-chorus.

I played one of these at guitar guitar and it beat all their other basses hands down for playability and feel. It was way better setup than any of the US fenders they had.

Gibson famously added an extra serial number to US production a few years back, implying they were making more than 999 guitars a day. Can you maintain quality control if you’re under pressure to make that many?? Also worth checking out the various YouTube factory tours of the cort and Yamaha factories for an idea of the scale of production. It’s nuts!

Vol, Vol, Tone, with tone pot wired to pull up to switch between series/parallel. It’s monster!

Back when I worked in a guitar shop we had a lady enter the shop in clutching a shopping list at Christmas. She confidently asked for a “Jim Davidson Wahwah pedal”. Chortle.

Tricky shape to cut into firewood 😛 I hope it turns out ok. I’ve got no idea how this works, if it’s knackered can you send it back or are you stuck?

Built it yet? That looks amazing. The best, most memorable Xmas present I ever got was a technics control centre in my youth. Was the one I’d asked for and totally didn’t expect to receive.

Headphones take some running in before they open up and approach their best! I’d advise to play some test tones/ sine waves and random playlists through them for a few days and then try again.

I bloody love these. They sound and play great. Really versatile and aggressive, really good with a pick.

Very kind. We’ve got three albums to listen to that you can find on bandcamp, Spotify etc. It’s all instrumental, self produced, different themes, very prog and a bit pretentious 🤣 I really like From sea to sky and the 3rd one we put out on a label. “Phantasia on the high processions of the sun, moon and countless stars above”. All a bit silly. I miss the band a lot.

Go on then!

Thanks! Another recommendation: https://oceansize.bandcamp.com/track/walking-in-the-air It’s absolutely epic when the band kicks in.

My old band did a proggy version of carol of the bells a while back. I hope this is ok to post. It’s the 1st song here: https://heightsuk.bandcamp.com/album/rarities
