Hey mate, hope the gig went well.... wish I coulda been there man.
Thanks for your comment on my bog seat guitar... though Id a thought my 'Li'l Bastard' was more up your street!
Keep up the good work fella
Ben
hello mate ,,i finnished it a while ago it sounds pretty cool even with just a piezo ,,but i may add another pup as i can still open the box...ive been down your way for a holiday the last to weeks ,,i was in bodmin..
yeh-due to me having no large intestine I get dehydrated quick- but it was only 3 days and now its all good-daughters back at school too-yihaa! thanks Joker.
Hollowbelly with a great flag and a Chickenbone John CBG its just so easy to be cool. Love your stuff , fantastic sound and "Maggie" is just a brilliant song. Hope you do Johns October event it would be just so tiptop to see you live.
I was curious as to what you use as a pickup in your cookie tin guitar? Also I was going to build some CBGs with more strings but after listening to your album I am blown away by what you can do with just 3. I have 2 three strings and one 4 string and I do find myself playing the 3s more.
hi hollowbelly,yeah an gettin a outfit goin up here in geordieland,i play drums gonna sample some of me 3 string spankin,got a guy who sings n does a racket on a bisket tin 3 string,back to the stooges,diy type stuff.the music is stale in the toon,there are now tribute acts of tribute acts,its very poor indeed,...am trying to get some backing off rennies or gaviscon....am looking at fuzz boxes at the min,so many....thanx for the friendship.....
Yeah I'm up for meeting everyone and taking in some live sounds.Meeting a drummer who's into CBG's on Friday so there might even be a performance on the cards!!!More importantly though, I'm soooo jealous you got that awesome box from Christian. I'm gonna have to get me a second job and beg him to make me one!
haha!! yea stone - roses cool i like it , it's my look at me i'm going out on the mountain Bike look lol!! - well the weathers been that nice i have been riding the bike all week in Tee shirt and shorts , get some fresh air around these milk Bottle white limbs !!
Cheers mate
