Delivered to the office this morning. The paint chips are a little bit worse than they looked in photos on Reverb, but I don't mind too much because it'll just make me feel less precious about leaving it in the living room. Plays like a dream, and I'm really impressed by how full it sounds and how w...

I was not prepared for how horny this performance is.

I've been playing guitar around the house a lot more lately, but I haven't owned an acoustic in about 4 years (!!!) and I can rarely be arsed with an amp at home. So I've been daydreaming about a nice parlour guitar I can keep next to the sofa, and of course the Gretsch Jim Dandy is the number one c...

You always have the best colour schemes.

You might recall I bought an ICX220 on eBay just over a year ago. It turns out that when I was hunting for a cheap Iceman, a friend of a friend was giving his away. Our mutual pal acquired it with the intent to pass on to me, but then she forgot and it was left gathering dust until last week. Long s...

Interesting you say that about the neck pickup, my old Yamaha SG200 (which I was extremely stupid to sell) is perhaps the only guitar I've owned where I've liked the sound of the neck pickup.

I had a Drivemaster as my main distortion for a while, not sure why I got rid of it tbh. I can't imagine needing anything other than the RAT now though, otherwise I'd be intrigued by this reissue.

You take that back.

I know I'm biased because I mixed it, but these songs are so fucking good.

You answered your own question!

I had a Mooer Pure Octave on my board for ages, definitely not as "clear" sounding as a Micro POG, and the tracking was sometimes a little bit off, but it was close enough for my purposes. It shit the bed after maybe 8 years (not bad going IMO!) and I replaced it with a SubNUp. It's a majo...

I mean, we didn't ask him, but we're fairly confident.

There's a pretty nice video here from our show at the Shacklewell Arms last week, for anyone interested:

lmao

I'm so excited to see the new band! It's sick that you're working with my pal Esme as well.

Big boy season!

How's the new band coming along, Paul?
