Skybone

Looks interesting. Especially when it's developed a few more models.

Another recommendation for a dedicated recorder, like the Zoom mentioned, but there are others out there. I have a Tascam DR-05, which does the same thing, records onto a micro SD card, so easily transferred onto a computer and shared to the rest of the band.

Nowhere Man - Them Four Again

Kiss From A Rose - Seal

Seal Clubbing - Half Man Half Biscuit

Welcome Home (Sanitarium) - Metallica

Toxic Waltz - Exodus

South of Heaven - Slayer

Bestiality - Phil Jupitus (to the tune of Sexuality by Billy Bragg)

Looked at the Nordstrand, but then I have a set of Gemini WaveRider's in the Walnut Faker in the avatar. Very nice sounds from them. Rickenbacker Bass Pickups (geminipickups.co.uk)

It should have the Push / Pull pot on the Tone control, is that pushed down or up? I use mine with both pickups on, but the neck volume turned down a bit. Sounds plenty ballsy to me. Plus, the neck pickup is reknown to be a bit weak for some reason. You could look at replacement pickups, Gemini Pickups in Wales do a couple of variants, hand wound & RWRP. Nice. There's also the Nordstrand Rickenbocker.

Pictures of Lily - The Who

Cort SCMS? Cort A5 PLus SCMS OPN, five string bass, bass,active. bartolini, hipshot - UK Basses specialist, Warwick, special offer, sale, London, Manchester, Birmingham, USA (bassdirect.co.uk)

Stutter Rap - Morris Minor and the Majors

Only managed to watch bits of it so far, but it's great Cutler's great, and KT Tunstall's a great presenter. Cutler is one of the brilliant British eccentrics, remember hearing some of his stuff on the John Peel show many moons ago.

Reality is Waiting for a Bus - Subhumans

Remember the guitar press singing their gushing praises on the Taylor when it came out. Let's face it, it's a Taylor, so it's going to be very good, but not the cheapest. The Godin's are serious bits of kit that don't get that much recognition or praise. Definitely worth trying. Should be relatively cheaper than the Taylor. Wouldn't be surprised if Yamaha make or made a thinline. Didn't Epiphone have a version of the Chet Atkins as well? The Ovation / Applause thin bowl (or whatever they call them) guitars are worth looking at too. Had an Applause for a while (Korean built Ovation - kind of like an Epiphone), very nice guitar that I probably should have kept. The US built Ovation guitars can go for silly money.

China In My Hands - T'Pau

No Cemetaries Here - Tragedy (no, not the BeeGee's tribute band, or anything remotely to do with BeeGee's)

Recorded the Ivor Cutler by KT Tunstall programme the other night. That's going to be entertaining.
