I like Flickr. There is some good stuff on it too. I'd 'reveal' my site but you would be bored, what with the climbing and prehistoric photo's... The missus's loon has some good stuff up there...

CSS - Cansei De Ser Sexy Karen Dalton - \it's so hard to to tell who's going to love you the best Fopps been bashing the wallet....

I was thinking secondhand. He'd just be taking his guitar back with him, honest officer.....

I have a mate based in Houston. He tells me that there are guitar shops there that sell LP's as good prices (compared with here anyways). I think I might just get him to pick me up something when he comes back over in November!

Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldiers Current 93 - Black Ships Ate The Sky Tunng - Comments of the inner chorus and in that order....

She Loves You - Twilight Singers this is... tunng mothers daughter and other songs Cursed Sleep - Bonnie Prince Billy (new album is due out in Sept.) Oh by the way somebody has posted several videos from Bonnies Lemon Tree gig on youtube: There are others here just look for them!

Fonotone Records boxset. A country/gospel/blues/bluegrass 5 set extravaganza from the 50's/60. And totally punk rock!

Thats just greedy....

Thats a lot on trust' date=' I was thinking it was risky enough getting one through a local shop special order as if it didn't feel quite right when it arrived. Special import, ooooo. I was quoted about 1600 last week for a gold top... If I wanted a second hand I could go for my mates Class 5 but it's a cranberry flame top and it just doesn't float my boat...

Well Dusty you took your time but this was pretty much exactly what I was after, a completely biased opinion! The historic's are way, way out of my range but at that prices I'd expect them to be better otherwise.... I am seriously comtemplating a 60's neck Gold Top (yup, coz I'm not really into that 'metal'/hard rock thang. Would never have considered it if I hadn't seen Matt Sweeney's in the flesh). I did swither over the Desert Burst in Bruce Millers but somebody pipped me to the post. Thanks for the info on the classic and studio. From a purely cosmetic point of view I favour the covered buckers so don't fancy the classic. Your comments re. metal tone just seals it. The studio would be worth investigating for sure as is appears to be roughly half the cost of a new standard. Guess I'll have to sift through the LPF (although I looks like information overload). If only I'd got my act together before the price increase... Thanks, Neill PS I presume the LP sounds great through the microcube then?

Not quite what the A stands for but whichever I try it fits. I know it's not life threatening but it's a damn expensive habit. Especially as Gibson just increased their prices (great timing Neill)

Ha, thanks Andy. That's pretty much what I was thinking already!

Now you got me thinking... Suppose I'd better find out what they sound like first. From a purely cosmetic angle I like the look of covered 'buckers more, much more, than P90's but i've never really checked them out.

I have a tele and a strat. The strat is a HSS and I prefer the humbucker sound, just 'sounds' better than the single coils. Plus I had a Class 5 custom shop on loan for about 4 months and once I managed to build up resistance in the fingers to the frets I kind of pretty much loved it. Got absolutely no 'justifcation' for it though...

Probably done to death but I'm seriously thinking about getting a LP Standard. Pros and cons (other than price obviously)?

I would second this as Mutiny in Heaven would be may favourite BP track or Nick The Stripper 12" if you can find it

Hey, if you really want to be belittled try Soho Soundhouse in London and ask for thumb picks. Man the response I got would have crushed a lesser man...

Sister Sledge's We Are Family.

Bifta23: Yup, the Marc Almond version is pretty damn good as well. Not to sure about the Shirley Collins version yet but I've not heard it enough yet (only got it Thursday night and I was away most of the weekend) Lepeep: Yup I pretty much love the Tunng. Sweet William and Engine Room are the stand out tracks for me (mind you they did at the gig as well so...) As for your sounds like I'm afraid I'll have to show my ignorance and admit I don't know your frame of reference...

Black Ships Ate The Sky - Current 93 (features various versions of Idemaea including one by Bonnie 'Prince' Billy) Rock Bottom Riser - (smog) Comments of the Inner Chorus - Tunng
