Tele with humbuckers great tone and stays in tune unlike my strat which has had whammy bar problems since day one .I also like my Vintage VS 535 semi with wilkinson pickups ,very easy to play and a great tone .Hated the les paul I had it was far too heavy for long sets ,we tend to do about 3hrs over here in Crete (the bazouki guys do 4 or 5 sometimes)
I would advise any one considering buying effect pedals to check out the Joyo range .I have been using the vintage overdrive for about 6 months now and its great .As I understand it its the same circuit and chip as the Ibanez Tube screamer , but it only costs about 30 pounds to the Tube screamers 120 .On the strength of this first purchase I've just bought the classic chorus from them ,same low price same top quality .
Check the range its really good .
I dont work for Joyo and I'm not connected in any way just incase any one thinks I am.

I havent seen anyone mention the Diddley bow on here so heres a link to the one I've just made from scrap material ,it took about 5mins to put together .A company in the uk is now making these things commercialy but half of the fun is doing it your self .Any one else tried or have I just too much time on my hands these days http://youtu.be/jlCEg1WRYSY
I did this for our Grand kids in the UK, Theo and Barnaby ,It reminds us of them . Last time I played this at a party here in Crete I had four grandmothers in tears , Ahh.... http://youtu.be/HQBGOUzt9Ms

You have told a tragic story of a little dog who was so well loved and made him live on in peoples minds ,a fitting tribute to a lovely dog.
You have a rare gift Kev as anyone who knows you can testify to ,dont ever stop the music Kev . From one of your devoted fans

Kev who regularly joins us over here in Crete wrote this song which tells the true story about a street dog who was cruely killed by some one .The song tells of the hard life and struggles of abandoned dogs in Greece.
Kev gives much of his time to animal charity work and welfare and sings this from the heart .

I dont know if this is the right place to pose this question but as its a recording tool as wel as a live instrument maybe some one can help .
About 2 yrs ago a freind who played in a duo loaned me a korg keyboard to try I cant remember the model type but would like to track one down if possible .It was roughly the size of a modern lap top computor and had a small key board .which functioned like a chord organ i.e each key represented a chord E major Eminor F etc.. you were able aso to select a rythm acompniment which would follow the chord pattern played .
Ive never seen one of these since and cant trace it through korgs archive site .I think it would be a handy piece for creating backing tracks .
Unforunatly I cant locate my freind to ask him as we have long since lost touch and I now live in Greece.
My freinds name was John Woodward who lived in Blackburn England at the time .
If any one can help it would be great.
Hope you like this ,we used a looper and audacity to make this recording .

My mate Lefteris can do this its amazing to watch he just listens to a song and imediatly picks out the chords ,problem is he also picks up on all the bum notes I play .its like having your music teacher on stage with you ,last gig had a tiny stage and hes sat behind me playing bass and telling me where Ive gone wrong before Ive done it .I dont mind though my playing has improved vastly through his input .
Every band should have one .
I have had a Guvenor resonator for a few years now to which I added an old p90 pick up ,sounds great ,I have just added an ozark gold plated resonator and a resonator bouzouki to my collection while over in the uk this week on holiday .
All three are great ,the bouzuki being very unusual .I'll try and post some pics when I get back to crete.
