Keep it coming Trench. Ya didn't need that tele anyway. DL Back to top

trench Group: Members Posts: 24 Joined: Aug. 2010 Posted: Mar. 01 2011, 11:29 Glad the tune is up to standard........i did have a lot more instrumentation on there,but i stripped it back to give you 2 more space for improvisation. Who would have thought that i would be playing hybrid "folktronica" now, when 34 years ago i was in a punk rock band. I will post the updated "over to you" sometime tomorrow. Well , off to work now,i need a change of job ...to more sociable hours. It's a hard life being a stripper !!!!!!! Dave Back to top

I've got one here, that I built a year or two ago.   The body is a year 2000 custom edition. A factory copy of a 1950's model, with, fat 50 pick-ups. Unfortunately the neck was broken upon arrival, and, was shipped out of it's landing place with a replacement second hand 1990's neck. Since then and realising the weight of the body, and quality, I sourced a custom made Blood Maple neck from a reputable dealer. Also fitted with kluson machine heads. The blood maple neck, including the fretboard,which is also 1950's dimensions .................gives the guitar a true 1950's feel. It's nearly as heavy as a Les Paul. Well of course that left me with a neck, what do you do ? I found a body, in England up north. I found a place in USA that could supply everything else genuine Fender. Off we go. I sourced a 1980's scratch board with pick-ups and pots etc in California, from the 1980's, but with a Seymour Duncan L'ttle' Screamer on the bridge end. Built it when I got back from Canada. I now use both but the second one is sunburst and the first all black. The second one is the one I plug in first everytime. Explain that........

I have today re-invented an idea from some time ago for a concept album. The concept being an astronaught up in the space station Looking down. Quietman suggested " Looking Down On Mother Earth." He sees the beauty of the planet but also the darker side, the scars etc. I thought today a nice touch would be to make the track list read like a poem. WHO BETTER TO ASK BUT NIGHTSPORE. He came up with the goods and improved this idea some more. The track list for ten pieces is now inside a very good poem as follows. (Possible track titles highlighted.) The station is like an expanding METAL SPIDER The galaxy a web of nebulae and STELLAR DUST-LANES My home for TWO LONG WEEKS LOOKING DOWN ON MOTHER EARTH I think of the first stage FALLING OCEANWARD Of being almost HIGH ON HYDRAZINE To see the planet as a MILKY FIRE-OPAL But those vermilion flames through WHISPERS OF CIRRUS Also make me think of WAR MACHINES And that the station may in fact be an EMERGING BUTTERFLY The guys a genius, don't you think. So this is where it's going. Or at least where I want to take it. DL..............Big thankyou to NIGHTS PAW Back to top

smillsoid Group: Members Posts: 548 Joined: Dec. 2008 Posted: Mar. 06 2011, 11:49 Sounds like a great idea, guys!  I'm rather keen on the title "Expanding Metal Spider" - it appeals to my 'steampunk'/'Steamprog' side! *rubs chin in deep thought* -------------- http://www.reverbnation.com/simonjmills Back to top

Can you take this one on ? I warn you, tracks come in thick and fast, once the band gets there teeth into it. You start it though Smilsoid. Cheers DL Back to top

Yes Trench I agree to all of that.   Back to top

nightspore Group: Members Posts: 4761 Joined: Mar. 2008 Posted: Mar. 07 2011, 06:42 It's up to you musicians, of course, but I'd have thought a title like "Whispers of Cirrus" would fit the Tranquility piece better... On the other hand, I haven't heard the Limpet piece yet (shellfish now!   ) Where is it? Back to top

Its work in progress, at this present time Nightspore. You wouldn't to hear it unfinished would you. Been singing the chorus to the C&W song all morning. It's driving me nuts.       Back to top

It's driving me nuts.     It would be funny if it caught on and became a Jen-you-yne hit. We'd all have to go on tour together, and sleep in a crowded mini-van, truckin' down Route 66   Does Mary Jane snore? I'll clam up about the limpet song     Back to top
