Well, an interesting chat I’ve just had with Bill, the builder of Optimus Prime. He’s been telling me for a while that he hasn’t got time to build an amp so was looking around for something that piqued his interest…we’re chatting away, he’s telling me about this amp he’s bought, then I clicked, it’...

My Strobostomp is finally here. It's the mini, not the HD. What a beautifully presented item. They must get their packaging from the same folks who supply Apple.

Acquired a Fender Tone Master Super Reverb as part of a convoluted deal last night. Certainly looks the part. Jensen 4x10 and jolly light. Anybody tried one? Thoughts? 20240427_230136.jpg That's a huge amount of amp for the front room! I know the Tonemaster DR. Soundwise, there's no downside. If/wh...

Half way through, it certainly felt that way!

Grotto1.jpg Grotto3.jpg It's hard, looking at this to see why it took every weekend for 3 months. But there was a deck and a jungle there before, the Boy now knows enough to do the next one on his own and I'd be happy for any chippie to run a microscope over it. Plus we had a great father/son summe...

Time to see if they're as good as the hype.

As a poor man's version (and something entirely more suited to Slowy), I anguished over this. My dilemma is I'm no longer in a band so I don't play much electric. But give me a blank sheet of paper and this is pretty much exactly what I would have drawn. I have no doubt I will hate myself for letti...

Yeah I managed to hit both A and A min

Really?
How did you do that?

Happy NGD!
I'm chuffed you got that. As you know, to me its the perfect Lester.

I don't know but it looks the same as an old Tokai Strat I used to own. I never got on with it but I sold it to a mate who happily gigged it for 20 years before replacing it with a Suhr.

I was expecting something like, got caught with a stash, at my neighbour's house, nude, covered in peanut butter type scenario.

The inside of your head is a rather disturbing place, Mr.B.

Finally found the time to look inside the Yamaha. I think a fresh set of CTS pots and a new switch are in the near future. Explaining the string: The nylon thingy on the switch had worn down too much to separate the terminals. I managed to slide it up the shaft enough to work, but it wouldn't stay t...

Somebody get some smelling salts round to Conway quick!!!
