The best one we knocked out was High and Dry (Radiohead) which sounded great as it was the only one we had percussion and bass backing on a Boss 303 machine.

heh heh, I had a Roland MC-505 (well before I got my MPC) - wrote some cool little tunes, think my mum has a Boss 303 (she prob has more gear than me!)

ah Jeremy was actually hard to make sound good as its quite a 'produced' track, alive was a bit more raw so easier to recreate, yeah I remember doing a counting crows song (not sure why - never liked em) - they don't make bands like they used to!!

You're right, Jeremy doesn't sound that good, but Alive sounded great, with my Strat doing the rhythm and the Les Paul lead bits.

I'll second that !!

Yeah, we cracked out Pearl Jam's Alive and Jeremy, with the first one sounding half decent. I even did a Levellers track (that the other 2 didn't know) and some other odd ball stuff.

Good times

I have a Mexican strat circa about 2003, want a Les Paul as well, also got an Epiphone semi and some cheap old bass I bought from cash converters.

Recently purchased guitar rig4 (plug the guitar in through an M-Audio USD interface) which is quite possible one of the best things I have ever bought

Going through a bit of an Aerosmith phase at the moment, learning a few classics and want to have a go on some Joe Perry slide a la 'Draw the Line'

yeah that's my era - used to do Radiohead, blur, chilis, pumpkins, RATM, oasis, supergrass, nirvana, pearl jam - early nineties was great for music both in the US and UK - used to loads of 60's stuff too like hendrix and zepellin - ah those were the days!

Seeing that you don't play it, you can sell it to me then as I've always fancied a Rickenbacker !! Which model - sure you can do me a good deal against my US Strat ??

I use it as a practice guitar I just don't take it to the gigs.

Son now has my Fender knockoff and I've got my old bowl back Mandolin still kicking around but not played either in a long time.

I turned up with a late 90's USA Strat (with FAT 50's if that means anything to anyone!) and the other chap had a nice Gibson Les Paul - We did some Radiohead, Kings of Leon, early Blur...

My other guitar is a Rickenbacker, and since I got the Gretsch I don't even bring the Rickenbacker as a spare guitar.

I have

1. Ricky 330, black.

2. Epiphone Dot (ES-335 copy)

I have had;

1. Fender Squier - ok...

2. Ricky 360-12, 1973 in Burgundy with Rick-O-Sound - stolen - bastards.

3. Roland GR-707 and GR-303 guitar synths with Strat guitar with rs-232 interface lead - honest. Sold to one Paul weller c 1982 who's never played it AFAIK...

4. Kay Les Paul copy - scraping the barrel now..

5. Eko acoustic 12 string with a 4" action on the seventh fret.

My Son bought a Les Paul copy from a chinese copy called Tradetang, I feared the worst since I was paying - but it's fantastic! Best I played and my bro (who is in a band) has 'real' Gibson's galore, I've played his tulipty Explorer and SG from 1983...

have a google - they do Gretsch's too - and 12 string Ricky's - all badged up and play better than any originals I've played, well, older originals, like 70/80's - admittedly not the best decades for US guitars...
