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.

      I have had multiple jobs completed at my home by T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD, and I wouldn't go to anyone else now. They always come at the agreed day/time, I have never been asked to rearrange. The jobs have always been completed to extremely high standards, and as a perfectionist myself, I appreciate this level of care and detail. I'm grateful of the clear up afterward too, leaving me very little to do after the job is done. I am always blown away by the speed and efficiency  - no waffle, no flannel, just sheer hard work from start to finish. In summary - a highly professional first class service. Don't hesitate to call T.D. PLUMBFIX SOLUTIONS LTD, if you like excellence and trade people that will respect your home.

      Or increase tax.  The freezing of personal allowances is one way, not what I would choose.  On principle I don't care if the rich immigrate.  The main parties could have been more honest before the election.  Reform is deluded.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.
