  1. I love ‘em for this.
  2. Absolutely fine - we just kept the volume down and let the PA do the work. Matt, our lovely sound chap, is a genius.
  3. Ah, that's great to hear. Everyone was very welcoming. Up early the next morning for a rainy 7-hour drive to the Laundry Theatre in Bowness the following night. Another lovely venue. ...and then back to 'proper' work for 8am Monday morning. Even so, I'd do it again tomorrow.
  4. I'm seeing a few rumours on the internet - only rumours, mind - that G&L are in trouble. See this post from one of their master builders. If it's true, I hope they get through it...
  5. My feeling is that we’re all thinking about this too much. Art is organic. It shares its DNA with other art, and evolves. just be respectful of the art and its sources.
  6. I’m going to invoke the law of diminishing returns 🤣
  7. An almighty trip to the other end of the country for an Eagles tribute show in Newbury. Beautiful venue, and an appreciative crowd. Nice to bump into BC’s very own @alant!
  8. People will believe what they want to believe.
  9. An Eagles tribute show in Richmond, North Yorkshire last night. A fun gig as always, but notable for being in one of the oldest theatres (c.1788) in the UK.
  10. I wonder if you can see the side dots on this one? It's a big flaw on recent Fender RI's, IMO.
  11. ...not to mention stairs.
  12. I would like to buy them all, and smash them into tiny pieces.
  13. Hi everyone. Got together with @warwickhunt, @cd_david and Tim yesterday for a bit of a plunk and natter. Here's some pics.
  14. …and others are continuing the practice to this day. I’ve heard / seen some eye-opening stuff recently, but unfortunately nothing I’m comfortable sharing at the moment.
  15. Most musicians don’t get a significant chunk of cash every time they create new music.
  16. Urgh (Apologies... I know I'm in a rapidly diminishing minority)
  17. I’ve got a 3TSB / Rosewood from a similar era. It’s a golden period.
  18. A trip from Tyneside across the other side to Liverpool for another Eagles tribute gig. Big brewery / shed type venue - lovely room, lovely staff, top-drawer PA & techs. No monitors, so had to grin and bear IEMs. Still don't love them. New MIJ Jazz - with new pickups - continues to be my friend.
  19. I’m not sure this is a valid parallel - I think the Jaguar campaign was a genuine misstep, rather than a calculated move, hence the CEO taking a walk without a successor.
  20. If you read Beedster's post again, he makes an important point which contributes to the discussion.
  21. Hello! Pretty much what it says up there ^^^^ Thinking of getting some, but wondering if the difference would be huge if I scraped together the extra for Fralins, etc.. instead. TIA!
  22. Apparently the 'current' version has an alder body. That said, although mine is supposed to be basswood, it's 9.4lbs so it wouldn't surprise me if it turned out to be alder.
  23. There’s one crucial detail which differentiates this from someone playing air guitar…
