Nowt wrong with Ibanez,spitty. One of mine is an Ibanez,although I must admit to replacing the shoddy original with a Floyd Rose set-up with whammy bar. It's true that F/R's can be finicky to set up,the first time....but by JIMINY,they're worth the effort! I use mine for everything from AC/DC numbers to more melodic,softer Muddy Waters riffs-although I run it through an H&H amp that happily pumps out 125db without distorting. I use the valve amp with my Burns 12-string....the undertone is truly amazing. All my semi-ac's,I run through a 500 watt Delaney and the basses all run through a bloody great big Peavey-although I use pedals for effects,delay,distortion and even wah...a bass should SING,in beauteous basso profundo,not just 'thump' under the lead riffs.Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
I had to make up me mind rather quickly when I got an offer I couldn’t refuse, a couple of weeks work in Kilkenny restoring very old Celtic jewellery for a privately owned museum, great money and first class hotel accommodation, one would have to be an idiot to refuse it. So there you have it, a couple of weeks of very enjoyable ‘work’, a very fat cheque, the best of food and drink, dancing and traditional live music in the evenings, plus the promise of more of the same again in September, sure where would you get it?, I enjoyed every minute of it, yes me granny was right, it pays to learn a good trade when you’re young, it will stand you all your life, even into your old age if your lucky.Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Thanks Pug. I'm guilty as I did feel a little bit chuffed with myself, especially when yermans mothers face lit up when she saw the stuff finished, she's 98 and very proud of the fact, God love her she was over the moon and gave me a big hug and a kiss, it's a long time since I blushed but you could light a fag off me face that day.Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Well AKSHLY,yer fella Tommy has the right of it,Jem....coz one of the things I learned when I was busy musically,was that Orchestral harps have 7 more strings than yer basic "Rip-'n'-Rock' type harp. Yuss-not many people know that-and I was one of 'em.....
