It’s like the general economy in micro , while people have confidence in the value of these things, the value will hold up , but if the value in a guitar is that it was a present from grandad, mum and dad or wife for instance , or it was one that has particular band or gig memories. then keeping it on a stand in the corner of the room is value enough. Nail it to a wall as a decoration or as a cherished memory, fine by me, I think an emotional attachment to an instrument is easily as important as its monetary value

Or 5 voted for 2 , or 2 voted for 3 and 2 for 2 or .,....... That happens , it always has , I don’t think we need to make it an offence mind I guess if someone finds an entry particularly worthy of a single vote to show their view of its quality then so be it. or maybe they just don’t RTFM ed to add it is not regarded as good etiquette to vote for your own entry ladies and gents

Seasons greetings and festive felicitations to one and all .

do you set your kit up the wrong way round

Ah well I suppose I had best throw my hat into the ring now as I wont get any time to polish this one, or even roll it it glitter. I was hoping to get a choral type vocal from Lurksalittle to set it up properly , but thats not going to happen any time soon, she is not up for putting any effort in please note the cute picture to generate some interest

Congratulations dude though It must be costing you a fortune changing your style of hat so often

Just a quick reminder that December’s composition challenge is on and that if you or your band have a recording done this year of a song you have covered, you can enter it here , rules etc are in the thread

Sounds very promising buddy , best wishes

If I cover that for the December Challenge , I think it would break the irony meter

Who is in charge of ordering the taxis around these parts

Oh Douglas you are a star

Reaper has updated to version 6 its different from what I’ve been used too , it’s nothing in the scheme of things , but when I suddenly get a spark and I’m told my money has run out and the interface is a little alien , it just sucks , not massively, but I need everything in my favour to stop me from mass hair extraction by pulling

To be fair it’s a good warm up bass line as well , with a nice deep but clunky tone you can own that song , got be on it rhythmically as it is driven by the low end

I don’t but the singer does , but I think it is purely a confidence thing , beds are burning is his go to first set starter and I have to go back a couple of years to recall a gig that didn’t start with it

Well in there Douglas , I have nothing done so will have to start from scratch as usual , but I have a million other things on. I am hoping for some inspiration soon , even though ‘tradition’ would suggest I have already had a full years notice of the challenge

It is a bit odd ............right hand knee

Well done young Douglas lad , honoured to share the certificate with you sir

I like to get stuck in sharpish , but I also like to throw open the invite for a vocal input from 1 or 2 people , then , as it usually finds a few stumbling blocks , I either do it myself or leave them off , but it takes a couple of weeks to get to the point that what is currently done either improves with my singing attempts or not, decision time, then it gets posted!

Make that 4

Fair play , that's 3 brilliant tracks I've listened to just now well done gents

On it Nigel , excellent

beautiful Douglas , Bravo

OK Because I did a half decent one last month , the singist from the old band was happy to collaborate on this one , and boy does it make a difference , he can ........ er.... sing so many thanks to Mr Ray 'warbler' Robertson of The Razors for contributing to this .....

Holy schmoley I didn’t realise tonight was the deadline ! Ive got one just about ready , so I’ll get a mix done and put it up later , I’ve got a paid soundcloud account so I can put a revised edit on the same link it’s good job @adamg67 posted or I’d have missed it

This is a bit odd as I didn’t think it would be a thing I would say , but Chester is doing alright at the moment , the ‘live rooms’ seems to be putting some half decent shows, the known local band pubs are still busy and a few duos I know are still busy in the area. Tagged on to the Tiv in Buckley , and Central station in Wxm , and there is plenty to see within 10 minute drive/40min bus. so yeah, quite surprised me really
