I would not let the 15Khz thing worry you if you are thinking about this. Even if you could hear it (which I cannot, thanks snare drums and cymbals) I know that virtually no bass cab is going to be operating up there.
Someone posted a screenshot of it on their phone with a "shuffle play" icon highly visible. I must admit that my first thought was "oh, remixes with more swing".
Find retro169 on facebook. Top stuff and good price. I did discuss refinishing my black P as a Sunburst with him and he said that getting all the black off and clean could be a royal pain. He will be much cheaper if you send it to him stripped.
My son is a drummer and we have some stuff to shift.
Zildjian K 16" (yes 16") light hats £220
Big Dog Double Pedals £80
Set of Hardcases (12, 13, snare, 16 + 22) £120
Slingerland 70s snare - Steel. Well worn but sounds good £80
As usual, pics later.
I have had a few jobs done by Jim Fleeting recently. He has been like a breath of fresh air. The work is great. the timescale is as he says it will be and the comms are great. It is like being in a parallel universe compared to my normal luthier experiences.
Selling out is working in a job that you do not like because you need to be able to pay your bills. I happen to like my job, but would jump at the chance to sell out as a full time musician. All this talk of "keeping it real etc" totally ignores the way the industry works. Massive Attack bloke writer retired from music a long time ago but makes money that the rest of us would cry about every year from people paying to use his music in this, that and the other.
Financially, the Video Game industry makes the Music industry look like children playing shop with plastic money and a till which goes "ching" every time it is opened.
Selling out as a musician? Make enough money from music to not have to work a day job and even (just imagine) fund a decent pension pot? Yes please.

Phil Manzanera introduces a flamenco player to his first time ever with an electric guitar.

Nice playing and everything, I would also like to hear more of him. First time ever? I sincerely doubt that.
Different angles of the piece of Rosewood which will be the neck + fingerboard. The same piece of wood will be used to create a big one piece pickup cover which will house both J pickups in a big box.
