Muso Snob Ramblings and Instrument Porn

Cable over trigger fail :smirk:

They’re all on, on full, all the time anyway, apart from occasional pitch wobbling on the Whammy.

:disappointed: Hope those around the North will keep their eyes open.

Some beautiful instrument making to admire (Stefan Sobel’s former apprentice.)

Mandolin axe recues nuclear submarine shock!

Tales from the Ginnel

P.S Short trailer. Haven’t posted pics of the Avian fan fret Songbird bought for my 64th yet. Now have hopes of a shiny, brand new second-hand N.K. Foster tenor joining the stable, so you’ll just have to wait.

It’s not 'til you see the business card you realize quite how sub-mini it is. :canoe:

That’ll have all the headroom of 500 yr old pub.

Good work to cram everything into a pedal box nevertheless.

Aargh! Closely resembles the consequences of young people and fast bikes.

Great fun in the short term for rider and onlookers, but it ain’t going to end well…

Triumph of marketing over guitar sense?

Ditched the heavy old Marshall 300watter, and gone for a Crown class D poweramp with 1500W rms bridged… Should have no trouble getting heard now! Only thing to worry about is the rack falling off the stack.

Long but good…

Have a Sobell Guitar and a 4 course Cittern too.
He is the man. Check out his protege Nigel Forster as well.

:slightly_smiling_face: I was due to receive a 2nd hand Nigel Forster baritone at Settle. Turned out later the rather difficult seller had already flogged it, without letting me know.

Wonderful guitars though.

Good technique but bland tones ime. A standard P.R.S. ain’t going to improve that much - perhaps the prize custom will.

Technically very good… But he’s no Fiucynzski!
