20 12 array? One of these...?

That's the extreme stealth model?

It's so different coming back into music after nearly 25 years. Back in the first half of the 90s you could play a new venue, all originals and have everyone happy and dancing (if your songs were danceable).

I find Boswellia Serrata (indian frankinsense) works well fore me - has also done well in double bind trials, including combined with turmeric).

Possibly vitamin D. My brother suffered pain for years until being diagnosed with chronic vitamin D deficiency, he now has to take twice the RDI. A few days without and he starts to get back pain.

Probably...

Went in Home Bargains today looking for a luggage scale to weigh my basses... They had disposable Ukes for £8.99 and Classical 'guitars' for £19.99. But they also had guitar stands, and not the usual cheap tripod which is too small to give decent stability, but proper A-frame ones. Not as heavily built as my 35-year old Arbiter one but well-enough made for home and even occasional stage use and deep enough for anything up to a jumbo acoustic. Just right for my headless Jack! And only £7.99!

MUST ... OBEY... SIR HISS...

At a wild, unsubstantiated guess I'd say it was an Eros SG copy... but what do I know? Allegedly as much favoured by Polly Harvey.

Good on you 🙂 I trust it's only a coincidence that the audience appear to be fleeing from your onslaught in that pic!

OK, I got some apparently more accurate digital scales. Interesting: Jack V - 8.4 lbs Squier Standard Jazz (2001) - 9.7 lbs Squier VM Jag - 7.7 lbs Fender performer - 9.0 lbs All including strap (I need something to attach the scales to and I'm not using the strings!)

To be honest, I think it's a bit like the 'uncanny valley' effect.

Hmm... according to my luggage scales it's only 7.5lbs! I find that hard to credit, the scales are pretty cheesy so I'll see if I can get a decent one later. Probably feels heavier because my 'main squeeze' basses (Fender Performer, Squier Jazz) are both quite light. It's not as heavy as my Westone. As @Paul S suggests it may be down to the timber in it as well.

stinky poo. I'm in a lifetime unique position of being able to afford that and always having wanted one. MUST.... RESIST...

TBH why would anyone have a Starcaster when they could have a 335 ?

Sod that. I'm old and foolish and hoping to play a couple of festivals next summer. If so it will be trace 4x10 combo on top of Peavey 1x15 on one side and Laney head with 2 2x12s on the other. And a tweeter box. The ideal rig doesn't just sound good, it scares people.

I found this one in Edinburgh. With the active on it makes my little Orange Crush 25W practice amp sound very big and nasty 🙂 Very affordable, very playable, but a tad heavy.

He's the singer... 😲

Due to some, ahem, domestic rearrangement, I've got my 'toy' record player in the living room and I'm working though my vinyl. Playing them in order, so totally random (unless I had some sort of plan ~20 years ago) So far: Help! - Beatles (mono) Selling England by the Pound - Genesis Elysian Encounter - Baker Gurvitz Army Live and Heavy - (Classic compilation, various 70s heavy rock bands) Flash - Jeff Beck Sergeant pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band - Beatles (mono) Boston - Boston PXR5 - Hawkwind The Freewheeling Bob Dylan - Bob something. (mono) I'd forgotten how utterly impeccable my musical taste is 🙂

Billy Sugger!

I've had an awful, apocalyptic image of those two snogging...

Where's the fun in that? Far too neat.

I first read that as 'I saw Steve Hackett in the bath"
