Listen you lot, we all know that Sunday afternoon Texas Two Steps can only truly rock the church hall if played on Ibanezezezes with flames, lightening bolts, skulls and naked lady inlays on the neck. You may want some pickups in there too I suppose.


Oh and the Floyd Rose.


And the solid state amp and the digital multi-effects pedal.


And leather trousers. (these are especially important)

Thats okay, I have plenty of my own anyway. Used to play piano - had lessons for 5 years and never learnt how to read music. Imagine I'd be the same with most muscial instruments.

Design wise : the Stratocaster - a real design classic of the last century up there with the Spitfire, beautiful curves, and variety of sound in the 5 way single coils.


Sound wise: There can't be one winner - it's horses for courses isn't it? The Les Paul rule's for warm fuzzy rock and the Strat for funk, soul and as it was used by my all time west side Chicago heroes: Buddy Guy, Otis Rush and Magic Sam it wins for me. I do love Slash too - a real original and brilliant player, he'll never change his Les Paul.


I have two Strat's (a US vintage reissue Fender and a Tokai) but if I can afford it one day I'd love to invest in an old Gibson 335....

Respect to LP!


Didn't Hendrix prove that Fenders played upside down sounded better than Gibsons no matter which way up you have them!


Play a Fender the right way up and you have none of the disadvantges of the upside down Fender plus all the versatility of the right way up Fender...excellent, the switch works logically and for us right handers it's a real advantage.


Play a Gibson upside down then the anti gravity device no longer works and it becomes heavier than the sack of Sh** it is!


Flying V - Gibsons' way of solving the upsidedowness problem.. Ha!


Leo's been waiting for LP, let them sort it out!

Les Pauls are certainly heavy but the heaviest guitar I ever played was a double cut away Dan Armstrong with a sliding pick-up. I think the body was made of solid oak or mahogany about two inches thick. A great sound but it weighed a ton. It was once owned by Mick Ronson and David Bowie used it for the guitar riff on Rebel Rebel.

      Noise from Lime bike overnight servicing

      By Vlado · Posted

      Hello there, can I pls check whether anyone else on here has been affected by noise from e-bike hire companies servicing bikes overnight? I live near an e-bike parking bay and am regularly awoken at silly o'clock by the noise from mechanics chucking the bikes in and out of vans. Lime seems to be the worst offender. Please either post on here or PM me if you are experiencing similar issues.

      Your mental health is affected by your environment, and how you do things affects your life. If you can focus on small things, it will have a big impact. I think you're being facetious, but people do live like that. I also operate an organised chaos strategy, as I'm sure many people do, which is essential with family and busy lives

      I disagree with the who concept of tidying one room at a time. I find it's more effective to increase the overall level of tidy by 10% regularly, and take regular breaks.  Always straighten your bed first - your bed is your priority and your haven. Change the sheets if you have clean ones to use. 1. pick up all rubbish around the house; take it out. 2. pick up all crockery etc that needs a wash: put it all in one place and start to sort it out. Wash and dry whatever you can put away easily. Wash things by type - I'll do cups then plates, then cutlery, then pots..... 3. Kitchen surfaces - tidy things you can, be ruthless - everything is going to need a home. Sweep the floor, wipe the surfaces. 4. Pick up all laundry around the house. Start to sort it out so you are in control of it - wash types together - eg all sheets.  4. bathroom - so on..... Then, the entire house is an better environment. and you can just keep going.
