Haha. No one seems to like the Bee Gees cover. I'm still on the fence about it - it hardly makes any sense to have it in the set, where the Stooges & the Lost Animal covers fit right in, but it really suits Dunn's voice and it does have historical relevance in a world where Aussie exports have seemed super random since the 70s. Although in my mind the Bee Gees are still a Manchester band, what with the Gibb brothers having been born in Chorlton.
That string going really sharp in Rubber Bullies is giving me cold sweat, I thanked her for sticking with it regardless for two numbers after the show!

This is so cool ! Really nice to see the compliments it got on Instagram too, everything is deserved !
I've been looking at "metal" oriented guitars this days for my band, I need something with a high output to chug and a trem with a big range to go widldlywiddly, but it looks like no one else makes cool looking guitars with those features except you !
Merci!
I am starting to think that this might be my niche - non-metal guitars afflxed with some of those devices. It's interesting how differently a Floyd Rose behaves when strung up with thicker strings (ie. 11s or bigger) in regular tuning. The extra spring tension required to keep the trem balanced gives you extra control over what you do with it, something I can only describe as surf music from hell, scaling easily from a JM flutter to full dive bomb in a second. Coupled with low-wind alnico-rod humbuckers, the attack is fast and clicky, at least with the Gotoh units I have been using, and the combination of all those factors results in fun, vicious little guitars to play. Widldlywiddly IS the right word
