Thanks Stu. It takes one to know one. Drummers have their own private language just like guitarists do. Bassists nod wisely and head for the bar.

Should be an interesting project. Certainly a bargain!

Nice work !!!

The Atmosphere is a great-sounding reverb with several really nice effects. The Para-Verb is an expanded version with some additional features like pre-delay, stereo out and a second 'infinite trail' footswitch. Both have really cool lighting in the pedal edges.

Thanks Marlin. I'll put up the pedalboard soon. Rather pleased with it. Eyes: left is completely gone, right is at 30%. The problem is glaucoma - permanent retinal damage. In my case associated with the stress and exhaustion from caring for my wife in her last few years. The direct cause of...

No probs Slinger Like your headless!!!

Oops! I see that it has been 2 months since I last checked in here. How time flies when you're having fun (not). Hifi is still on the back-burner and guitars remain as main hobby focus. However I am starting to make some major changes in my existence such as stopping my business, selling the...

Didn't realise it was a Cort - my fretless bass is one of theirs. I know they manufacture for the likes of Ibanez. The other model HB do is the TE90QM semi-hollow which comes in 2 flavours: the Red with P90's and the Blue with Humbuckers

Deconstruction video. That was a follow up to his getting that guitar in an earlier video where it arrived already broken and he did make a serious attempt to get it playable. I think the thing was just so bad it frustrated him into finally destroying it. Many of his films have him displaying...

JHS: Sad news. My first bass combo was a little JHS 15W that I got in 1980 and it served me well for several years.

Thanks for the tip, Marlin. My inexperience shows in the fact that I haven't noticed that - or thought to check it. Also a lack of exposure to "properly" setup guitars means being unaware of the improvement it brings. Maybe I'll b considering a Luthier check-up at some point but circumstances...

The Return of the Durutti Column. Factory Records 1980 Boring! Well, this sleeve is actually sandpaper - meant to destroy any other LP's it came into contact with. The initial pressing had the sleeves glued by the young, broke lads from an unknown band called Joy Division and are now worth a...

And there was me promising to myself that I now had enough guitars and stuff and so on and so on........ It's New Guitar Day (again!)! So, what we have here is the Donner DST-550, one of their higher-end models aimed at experienced players. Upgraded specs and hardware, roasted Maple neck and...
