Thanks HJ! (your birthday is the day after mine, I just noticed). D'you know, you've just got me thinking: regrade my Sansamp to a BB and stick with the Nemesis..

D'you know, Paul, I was actually going to add about the G but thought I'd be seen as peeing on folks' strawberries.

Many Phil Jones users here? Thoughts? (Am very happy with my Eden Nemesis for the size of gig I do but just at the chin-stroking stage of re-graditis...)

Neck, acoustic tone(gives you a good idea of its inherent properties and allows to check for dead spots).

I've found ebony boards to be subject to the same vagaries as any other wood. In fact, I had a fretted ebony-board Patrick Eggle that had the maddening combo of bright-neutrality along with one grave-like deadspot. I honestly do not think a fretted ebony-boarded neck has any instrinsic signature at all, the latter being the combined resonant result of a number of other woods used and other factors in the intrument's construction. Only my subjective experience, mind.

(A suspicious amount of knowledge of merkins there folks.... ) Our lot wears standard black, apart from our 2 vocalists who strut about in hats and shiny stuff.

My, I used to live on Canvey in the 80s when I taught English there...Atherstone Road, if I remember: my nextdoor neighbour was Peter Green's brother. By...takes me back, down the ' jammer and the Monny....

(plumbob...thanks for the headsup re Sonar there; I had no idea of that; ta bud!)

Yes and yes tripled; firewire very stable(I wouldn't trust any USB card for this sort of task myself).

Having lived in Gloucester, Stroud and Stonehouse, I have to say that at last we are decently served: time was I had to go as far afield as Manson's for Vassily to Get Some Relax: Remus are still doing the biz around Barton Street and are still decent. Yes, the area is twinned with Kabul, but hey. Aroundabout Sound is still decent and under the same ownership as ever. Even 200 yds from me in Stonehouse is World Music, which advertises itself as a "high end guitar" shop; oddly I've never been in..so they're keeping the riffraff out. My subjective best and whom I've trusted with at least 2 of my guitars thus far, is Intersound...in Dursley(of all places, you locals might opine). I'm very picky and highly resent half-assed yes-monkeys messing my stuff up: any of the above will do a good job in my experience...and I've been in this part of the world since the early 90s. My highest recommendation is still Intersound, Dursley. Tell'em Shaun said so.

Well done that man!
