Paul S

Crowd surfing again, Baz?

My blues/rock trio Toredown are playing our monthly residency at The Shamrock in Ipswich this coming Friday 28th. All being well this will be recorded and some of it turned into a CD, so come along and make some noise!

I've seen them loads of times but find, increasingly, Derek the Draw thinks it is all about him. He swears constantly like a 14 yr old with Tourettes. Don't know if it was just a one-off but they were majorly off the boil, nowhere near as tight as they had been previously.

Clearly you are a discerning couple with exquisite taste. Or, at least, were around 20 years ago.

Snap! Probably similar vintage. Yours looks cleaner, though

Sereks aside, love the rug. We have one. Habitat?

Need names L-R please

Thank you! Yes, does everything I need. Which isn't much.

Here's my rather minimalist affair. @Smanth posted her Rockboard Duo which was just the job for my little set up. Assembled it this morning - took me ages, at least 15 mins. 2/3 the size and half the weight of my old Pedaltrain Mini.

At least it is only collateral damage... Sorry, shouldn't jest really as I have a poorly knee too and know what a pain it is.

Rather a personal question for a public forum, if you don't mind my saying.

They seemed to me to be rather thin and weedy. Not sure if there would be a drop in for anything else but I am sure they could be rewound to your liking if everything else fell into place.

I had one. Built like tanks, almost as heavy. Wide neck, weak pickups. The bridge is perspex - mine had cracked and back then I was lucky enough to get NOS, I'm not sure that would be possible now. Plus all that groovy 70s smoked perspex scratchplate etc. But for sure interesting and unusual. If it isn't outrageously expensive - and it seems they are creeping up steadily in value - probably worth having a try as you could almost certainly move it on at no loss.

Turret tapes for me

Possibly the wrong thread

I've always had a similar horrible noise. Class D, hybrid, tube amp - always the same horrible noise. Swapped to FRFR and a pedal, yup, same horrible noise. It's just my playing

Snoozing in my summerhouse

These are my favourites, too - where the seller tries to assume a position of knowledge but gets it all wrong. 'Lawsuit era from the legendary Matsamoki (sic) factory'. Etc.

'If you are reading this you already know...' I'd still like to be told, though.

Controversially, my first name is Paul and my surname begins with S. I know, a real man of mystery.

I've probably said all those things at one point or another

Back to joking, this reminds me of an old one. Who is the coolest cat in the hospital? The ultrasound guy And when he is on holiday it is the hip replacement man.

I don't think Roxy Music were underrated - they were MASSIVE at the time. I wore out 'For Your Pleasure', what a great album. 'In Every Dream Home a Heartache' is up there in my all time favourite tunes. Spacey weirdness - and what a guitar solo on the outro! Ferry had such a unique style back then.

Depends on what channels the hotel TV has, I suppose.

How heavy are these?
