  • Knocked out a quick one-evening cover of Liz Durrett's beautiful Mezzanine from the album of the same name. My production skills are nowhere close to Vic Chesnutt, who did the original, and my voice is a pale imitation of hers, but it was fun to knock this out.

    Features my Squire Mustang Bullet, a £100 workhorse of a guitar, and the Flint Strymon Pedal on maximum Lexicon worship mode.

  • I enjoyed that.

    I tried a Mustang Bullet a while ago. I was excited by the prospect of a high output short scale guitar, but the build quality was so far behind my Jag that I was disappointed. Glaring where they had saved the money.

  • Thanks buddy. And yeah I agree, the Bullet is no match for a proper Fender. But if you need a £100 guitar to see you through the dark times when no Fenders are available,I was surprised by how well it did the job. I've really messed mine up (added and removed Bigsbys, drilled it, knocked it about the place) and it's still going strong and sounding good. A few years ago you'd never have gotten a usable guitar for that price. I remember I bought a Squier for about that in the 90s and it was so poorly shielded as to be unusable with an amp. Very different times.
