    You could've pissed her off bigtime by buying a Dumble. Count your blessings and enjoy.

    As the youngun's say OMG...must sound fab. I've got a H & K 15 watt blue series and the sound is incredible. Warmer than Marshall, cleaner than Fender and gives every guitar a lift without being intrusive..They are the BMWs of amps - that newy of yours must play like a dream.

    PS I've included The Ventures version of Caravan in mine and Piley's second podcast - well worth an earful for the nimble fingered fretwork.


    Oh and watch out for a Shadows tune in the next one..

    @ Mondo - With you the crunch is very warm and satisfying and has good range of sounds.

    The clean is much cleaner than a lot of channels on other amps - Marshall for example and is well voiced like a Fender.

    60W frankly is a bit dumb for home use but the plan is to get gigging again and it'll come into it's own in a band setting.

Guitar Review - Vintage VE2000GG Gordon Giltrap Signature 12 string

Image
Folks will remember my purchase a few weeks back of the Vintage Gordon Giltrap VE2000GG 12 string to replace my old Yamaha which sadly has seen better days... My requirement was for a nice playable 12 string electro-acoustic.  Most of my stuff is as you know acoustic rock orientated in the David Gray, John Mayer genre.  I'd had my eye on a Gordon Giltrap for a couple of years now anyway since a) I'm a big Giltrap fan b) I'd heard said Mr Giltrap use the 6 string version live a couple of times and was impressed c) it seems incredible value for money. Now then my life was made a touch my complicated by the appearance of the Paul Brett signature 12string.  This is a slight oddity in that this is a parlour sized guitar which to be honest wasn't my initial desire but has received rave reviews and also has been designed as a 12string from the ground up - unlike the Gordon Giltrap which is an adaptation of a 6 string design.  Not unusual to be fair most 12 strings ar...

Tom Edwards' Poem "Why I don't drink anymore"

Thanks to my friend DeeJay for pointing this out to me - it was on a BBC2 show. An excellent summary of alcoholism I changed because I have the sickness of alcoholism, alcoholism doesn't come in bottles it comes in people. You should have seen me. I drank for happiness and became unhappy; I drank for joy and became miserable. I drank to be out-going and became self-centred; I drank for sociability and became argumentative and lonely; I drank for sophistication and became crude and obnoxious. I drank for friendship and made enemies, I drank to soften sorrow and wallowed in self-pity; I drank for sleep and awakened without rest. I drank for strength and felt weak. I drank for masculinity and it sapped my potency; I drank medicinally and got sick. I drank because I thought my job called for it and lost my job. I drank to stimulate thought and blacked out. I drank to make conversation and got to where I couldn't talk at all; I drank to forget and became haunted. I drank for freedom...
