He pops up so much doesn't he. Tony Iommi got back into it after his accident when his old boss gave him a record didn't he? Saw Danny Kirwan liked him too.
It's whatever makes you happy dude, lots are guitar and gear snobs, forget that crap. I couldn't afford Ricki bass guitars.. a Hondo ll worked just fine.
Yes I will avoid all that. It would put me off. I bought an electric acoustic bundle cheap recently and it is doing me fine. I was also lucky. I had a squire given to me that was never used. So that will do me for electric. And I will keep the fun level constant.
Had a go on one of these years ago and still drooling.. even I got good tone... a definite 'bucketer'
My Guitar update. Just need a bigger amp but have to wait for that. I don't know why I didn't start to learn sooner.
I was never able to afford a leftie, especially when only doing a paper round.. habit stuck and I just play upside down... strung as normal. Toying now with chopping 3 in... and priceing up a five string Ted Newman... sorted then, shag off to a cabin in the woods and bye bye world!
