sammynb 3355 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Don't know what possessed me seeing I've got three guitars to finish building but I just bought a Japanese made Jazzcaster/Telemaster, depending on who you ask what they are called.

I’m mainly looking forward to getting out of the country like. Looking at playing a festival in Sardinia next year Are you going traditional and doing the tour in a skanky van?

The van is not remotely green It absolutely eats the fuel but is still cheaper than hiring one! It’s gone well so far, a couple of poor nights but some very good ones and an incredible one in Bristol. We’d never played there and the room was full, people knew the songs and were dancing about and bought merch & vinyls We weren’t expecting any sort of crowd but got about 60 perfect strangers!

Monkeys Fist 42361 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I had a word with the Brizzle Massive, told them I’d set The Broken Doll on them if they didn’t show up in numbers. You’re my band now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That chair is great for listening to music but it's no longer my chair. This little gorgeous one has claimed it as her's, hence PL's shirt aka her mat, on the chair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She only has months, possibly weeks left on this mortal coil, so she can lie/sleep anywhere she likes.

Blastronaut 1333 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Sorry to hear about your furry pal Sammy. Hope you're making a point of playing her some decent tunes in her last few months man. Swear animals are tuned in way more to music than we ever give them credit for. Nice new axe too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 3355 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Thanks I, @Blastronaut, really don't want to lose her but it's the contract we enter into with pets. She's 14 (Scottie's normally only live to 12 so we have been lucky) and has a tumour on her liver but as long she's not in pain and still able, she has the run of the house. And being Scottish, as you can imagine, she can be a right stubborn one. She's unfussed about music and is happy to listen to most things, although her brother who we lost two years ago, I swear he was an old jazz muso reincarnated and fucking hated anything with feedback, which is a lot of my taste. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44802 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I'm getting a Strandberg. Left shoulder is fucked and I'm wanting to see if having a much lighter, better balanced guitar might help. The more I look at them, the more I like them. They're not remotely cool but neither is not being able to play cos your shoulder's cabbaged. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I have VERY limited options as a lefty, they've done a run this year which is the first for 7 years I think. https://strandbergguitars.com/boden-lefty-nx-6/ the blue one. Have you played one?

Gemmill 44802 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 They look even more radge left handed! I'm going for a Boden Original NX6. No trem cos I never use them. Nope never played one, so it's a bit of a risk but it's really difficult to find anyone with a bad word to say about them so I'm hopeful. Have you played one yourself?

I have, in 2017, and I've wanted one since but they are rare as hens teeth left handed, especially since I moved to the arse end of nowhere less than a year later! The neck is wild, reall weird feeling at first and then after a minute its not. I'll definitely be floating around the bottom of the list when it comes to technical ability and owning one of these guitars mind you , they're definitely for proper nerds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
