    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.

Hybrid Shape Shifter Tele on the way

Image
I'm building a new guitar. So three things influenced this one.   A hybrid tele / Strat body I saw, an interesting neck and particularly an interesting electronics option.  Here are the bits as arrived.  The body is a telecaster shape, telecaster neck pocket, telecaster control cavity but routed for 3 Strat pickups and a Strat style vibrato bridge.  The control cavity makes it different to many hybrid Telecasters a la the John Mayer model which have a more Strat like control cavity.  The body was advertised as "mahogany" it's quite red in nature but nice looks to be two piece centre jointed.  The neck is mahogany with a maple fingerboard and a maple skunk strip. So a bit reverse look from normal.  Electronically I'm going with three Strat pickups from Tonerider, having used there nashville set in the nashville tele conversion I did I was impressed. Five way switch master volume and tone.  But I'm putting in a shape shifter switch ...

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...
