Aw. So lovely to find a tribute to Mick (aka Mike) on here. We've played in the same band since about 2011, Shedload Of Love. Gutted he's gone.
As well as a musician, he was a noted ornithologist who wrote the (only?) book on bird life on Mustique (where he regularly visited to play sax and harp with and for the rich'n'famous, there's a clip of him trading solos with Ronnie Wood).
Mick and me (bass), our last gig, Jan 2020 (photo by Bo)... RIP brother...

I have an RC-3 on loan at the mo and don't like it. Maybe it's set up wrong but it seems to need cables inserting in a certain order on power-up to get the record/playback mode I need and even then it pisses me off. Tried the Jam Man Express ages ago and liked it but it's discontinued. Ditto seems to be the tip.
Top choon Dooks!

Grand Seiko's naming system doesn't help IMVHO.
I was going to write a post about the new 40mm SBGP with the thrill-inducing 9F85 movement and how the 009, 011 and 013 replace certain SGBV's (namely the 221 and 223) but the SBGP003 and 005 have the 44 case oh but the 9F85's not in the SBGX yet but then it all went spinny and I had to lie down.
The Hodinkee/GS GMT is a bit poo, isn’t it.

Looks really lovely... I remember when every vintage shop in London always seemed to have one or two 40s or 50s 00-15's or 00-17's, they were pretty inexpensive and always good-sounding and we all kinda assumed they'd be available like that forever. Suddenly, pop! All gone.
So it's good to know the RI's are the biz. I went round the factory in Nazareth once. They're good folks and still make a brilliant guitar that somehow sounds like a Martin when nothing else does. I took my nephew guitar shopping last year and a bog standard new D-18 blew away everything else we tried (he bought it and promptly recorded an LP that actually, shock horror, paid for itself... the credit is all mine). Anyway, yeah, Martins. Ace. Enjoy...

Ex-Collings strummer here.... I've played quite a few Waterloos, x-braced, ladder-braced hogs and maple variants and all have been slightly too thin and down-home sounding for me even though I quite like clonky old boxes. Molly Tuttle and suchlike geniuses make them sound fab on youtube but in real life, at UK RRPs, am unconvinced...

So weird that still nobody really knows. The M20 deffo belonged to the LP sleeve photographer, his family still has it. Richard Thompson seems to be the only person who remembers ND playing a Guild. String arranger Robert Kirby remembers a D28. For Five Leaves Left I'm inclined towards the Levin Goliath he was pictured with in rooms at Cambridge and back home with his family if only because I once played one with dead nickel strings and it sounded EXACT. Other theories are available.
Aha!
