Rhythm Stick?

I don't think I have any sound that I don't like, just that I like it in certain ways. Two examples - Fuzz guitar. Not overdrive, but Fuzz. Overall, not a fan, but then it works so well on 'Summer Breeze' or Tony Peluso's solo on 'Goodbye to Love'. The other one is Tom Morello. Didn't like his tone until I heard it with Springsteen, where the clash of the two styles worked brilliantly.

As others have already said, but in different words, one man's meat is another's murder. I wouldn't give Stagg or Vintage house room, but many on here certainly rate the latter. LTD/ESP is the one I don't understand. There are some very high quality, high priced LTD models, yet the ESP brand is kept minimal.

This far in and nobody has suggested the obvious - a 5 string Stingray...

Sport has a greatest (Ali of course). Music doesn't, and more importantly, doesn't need one.

Wise choice if you ask me.

Or Olivia Newton John/ELO

Don Letts played these guys last night. Nice vibe. https://amjcollective.bandcamp.com/

Snake oil

Two problems here. First, it isn't the only variable. The amount of variance in the player would probably be outside of the tolerances of a good scientific experiment. Secondly, 'evidences before their eyes' - remember the blue/gold - black/white dress a couple of years back? We don't all see things the same, perhaps we don't hear things the same, and get some bias in our hearing from what we see? To do this properly, the room would need to be atmospherically strable, a mechanical device used for plucking of the strings, and, most importantly, should be done blind. When someone does this I'll start paying attention.

So why are you quoting a non-controlled, non-peer reviewed 'experiment'?

My earlier post (don't know how to quote posts which in turn have quotes in them...) was more about the phenomenon NWOCR - brand new music by new bands calling themselves this, not RHCP or RATM.

Get a hybrid and you will still have the all valve itch. Only way to really scratch that (and find out the answer is No, I don't need a valve amp) is to own such a beast. Speaking from experience here...

Buccaneer can you help me get my truck in gear. She did have some classics!

Love, love me do You know I love you I'll always be true So please Love me do

Blooming phone...

At the risk of a case of grandmothers and egg sucking, could it be really sensitive to string height? Stunning build.

Yes, small venue in Eastbourne on my Facebook feed has just announced their grant.

Here you go - must update it, I've fallen a bit behind as the audio on my laptop had somehow fried itself... https://open.spotify.com/playlist/59RhYT5dLPwboS9u3njL4S?si=oGgmMf8sTaarjSRBDrqHjA

Working on a whole bunch of songs, but more importantly, working on playing them without looking at my left hand! I think much of it is semi-concious, but I've noticed nearly every picture of me that's wher I'm looking! Started with fretted bass - all went well. Now just retraining on the fretless. Good first session, but old dogs, new tricks, I reckon it will take some time to perfect!

You want a double-entendre? I'll give you one.

Heard this once in Homebase and will now forever be Just an Emulsion.

Interesting, thanks. Will have to listen again armed with this info.
