He’s one of the few artists where you’ll actually be able to hear him play properly at the front too - courtesy of the Perspex shells in front of his rig. *puts glasses on* *folds newspaper* ”first time I watched Joe play it was £12 in...this country Beryl...” I think it about doubled every time I did see him until I stopped being willing to pay.

Tom 14011 Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 The amount of touring the guy does is insane. He must play 200 shows a year, release an album or two a year and buy about 900 guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 Turns out the darkside works with the bass too! I recorded a loop using the Danelectro and the Dark Side 12 pt tape delay and hoyed some les paul over the top. (The song is one of these days) I was practically in Pompeii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4748 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Fantastic! We've been doing a lot of Pink Floyd at my lessons recently and I've literally just been for a tattoo consultation where I will be adding some more Pink Floyd to my right forearm alongside the DSotM one I already have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 Ah cool, the DSOTM is a class tattoo mind, really originally done as well with the cool colour splash look rather than prism. I can do some Pink Floyd and a lot of that style - but jeez the exact songs can be hard to get down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14011 Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 Yeh I couldn’t quite get away with it but I’ll give it another shot in time. I think I couldn’t quite hear the guitars for all the double bass drumming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4748 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Got a nice tax refund this week so I've ordered myself some Dimarzio Illuminators to go in my Contemporary Tele and a Victory Kraken Preamp. Be a while til I get them as they'll be making the trip with Mrs A's parents out here in August but I am real excited for these! Edit; And in a nod to a genre completely unsuitable for either of those pieces of kit I added this to my Dark Side of the Moon tattoo (which you can just see peaking round the corner of my skinny arm) earlier this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4748 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 TGU has been going on, which usually results in some cool videos and meet ups. I liked this. The contemporary Squiers are unreal for the money, so glad I took the plunge to bring mine out here rather than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 All the Squiers look lovely these days, i even played a short scale bullet strat the other day and it shredded like mad. Meanwhile I got my MBC1 totally rewired. Everything was running through the volume pot and I don’t know why so it’s a little more orthodox now. Plus after some TLC it’s my number one shred guitar since I sold the Ibanez and everything else is a little old fashioned. Also they don’t make them anymore and they’re going for a fortune so it’s turned out to be a good purchase.(The red ones) Also got myself a lightning strap to match it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4748 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Awesome! Matt Bellamy has just bought a controlling stake in Manson guitar works, who make the big version of his signature and announced that more affordable versions will be coming back.

Tom 14011 Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 Yeh I can’t wait for Mansons to start kicking out some properly mental guitars. MIDI strips and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 3355 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Nice, shame they don't have a tremolo. I really wish they'd reissue or do a squier Electric XII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
