I appreciated that she didn't fucking shout or speak at a million miles an hour the whole time. Didn't love all the playing, but some of it was pretty nice, and I appreciated that it wasn't all teh brootz. Some of her lyrics are maybe a bit overly earnest, but I can live with that kind of sincerity. It's not an exact comparison, but I much prefer this kind of vid to the fucking matey masculine banter of Andertons or whatever.

I quit after she used the term 'absolute treat'. I think the turn off is the 'rather poshness' of it all. Could be wrong. Didn't watch the whole thing. Blurgh

there was a Nik Huber with P90s for sale on TM last year but thanks to rona I couldn't move things quick enough to grab it
Is it just me or does that guitar actually sound pretty bad? Got that hollowbody woodiness, but without the corresponding warmth.

Probably just the recording.
True. I checked out Mesa Boogie's demo of it, and it sounded pretty good.

If Mary Spender isn't your flavour - Red Fang are rocking double Nik Huber's now:
Normally I'm against bridge humbuckers with neck p90s for aesthetic reasons, but I'd make an exception for the Krautster II

Naturally my opinion is no more valid than yours, but I can report that I've had a couple of good hangs with Mary and I'm of the opinion she's a pretty great human.
