  1. Just my tuppence worth... Don't forget to do an impressive slap solo at some point.. before, during & after the song. Bands love that. Talk about the gear you've brought ..in detail. Not forgetting to mention all the gear you've owned over the years. Bands love that. Name drop (even if it's the most tenuous of links). Bands love that. Ask the guitarist(s) why they're not playing a strat/paul/sg (delete as appropriate). Guitarists love that. Helpfully mention the singer's a bit "pitchy". They love that. Tell the band leader (on the quiet obviously, you're not insensitive) that you've got a drummer mate who you've played with for years, and he/she is easier to "lock in with". You're smashing it at this point, they'll love you. You're welcome. Sent from my bedroom. Don't forget to come & see slappys' one man band.... 🤠
  2. Those 2 builds are simply beautiful. I can barely cut a piece of paper in a straight line with a guillotine, so have huge admiration for the skills required to make a guitar like those. The shape of these models are my favourite, but I've never found one I like to play once they're in my hand. Perhaps I need to play one of yours 😁. Anyway, lovely job @Gilmourisgod
  3. Not last night, but recent Jo Burt gig. I'm obviously wiping away the spiders web up the dusty end, whilst doing my world famous Larry Grayson impression....."shut that door Isla.."
  4. Or their nephew.
  5. One of my favourite 5 string neck profiles, wide & flat. So easy to play.
  6. Back from holiday and this beauty is still available.
  7. I can see where this "thread" is going. It's knot going to end well..
  8. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Important-String-Important/253885114433?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20180213162448%26meid%3Dc25b52c051d64498b0f5602954168580%26pid%3D100930%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D8%26sd%3D253885115436%26itm%3D253885114433&_trksid=p2056116.c100930.m5375 He has a supply it would seem 😂
  9. "crudely modified" One man's butchery is another man's "modification".🤡
  10. "grief has a shaft stiffness" Never a truer word spoken.
  11. Loved my 2 Bassix uprights. This model is one of Alan's best. Surprised it's still here too.
  12. The back of that neck is stunning. I don't need 4 acoustics, but I'm looking around the house seeing if anything can be sold/rented. The dog is looking very worried right now.
  13. Yeah Andy, it was sold money changed hands but buyer changed their mind so refunded and back up. Actually had a lovely set up since and possible hard case if I can find it.
  14. Back up for sale bump Might be able to get a hard case for it for no extra cost, but will help with courier delivery.
  15. Greyum sold me a lovely acoustic guitar. Wonderfully set up by the man himself and delivered to my grubby mits in person. Thanks! 😊
  16. I also got some strings from Dave. Quick and easy as the man just said 😊
