*ties BQ to a chair

it's that or the banjo. you decide.

Hmm. both have equal comedy value. It's a tricky one.
Accordion.

why is attaching pics to this forum such a monumental ball ache? i've just given up after trying over half a dozen times to get a single picture up. "upload errors" indeed. harrumph.

you'll just have to imagine what my newly inherited herd of accordions looks like then. try and console yourself.

luck escape you you quinn

Ukuleles to you BQ.

honestly, if anyone wants one of these, i've got two more full size piano accordions available for for a token sum.

they were owned by the old guy who lived next door to my folks. he died four years ago and his widow just wants rid of them really. i've taken the smallest one (gave her £20 for it) and offered to ebay the other two (plus some odds and sods like an old PA head and practice amp) for her. as she only wants rid of them i'm sure she'd take a reasonable offer.

they're not the most spangly high-end,looking accordions i've ever seen. they look a bit plasticky. one's an hohner and the other a delicia. all in cases and very well looked after. all functioning and in tune. pm me if you're interested. i haz pics but can't seem to get them to upload at the moment.

does anyone know a good music shop that buys second hand guitars amps etc...
and pays ok for them?
Ta'

LOL.

You do realise they have to resell them, and unless your musical instrument is highly fashionable it is worth half what you paid for it second hand.

No shops will offer you a decent price, its just not possible.

"LOL."??

Want to give me a serious answer instead of being patronising?
I know that, just wondered if anyone knew places that were slightly nicer than the bunch of tits on denmark street.

Honestly mate, you won't get fuck all for them from a shop unless you want to trade, it's just not worth your hassle. Get some adverts up and sell it yourself for more money.

lol indeed. calm down.

they speak the truth. it's just maths. there are much nicer places that denmark st. but unfortunately, the rules of economics apply to them too. the market's the market.

are you still looking to sell that westfield tele copy and practice amp?

have you tried cash converters?

ebay obviously ffs

man, i really miss our old studio.

*weeps

Yes, still got no takers!
Might try gumtree.
There is a digitech pedal as well...

Here's an idea... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/offshorefinance/8370869/Eric-Clapton-guitar-expected-to-make-13000.html

Auction them...?

here's a bit of demo-tastic low volume pickery with fluffs and mistimings galore. quite like the 10 seconds of skronk at the end though. if we ever get round to playing out i'll have to relearn that.

lots more random demos and recording to go up there later this week.

Lovely picking, Al... DADGAD?

dropped D;?

dropped d with a capo on the third fret (key of f), played with brass fingerpicks. thanks peeps. 'preciate it.

i've been soundclouding some random odds and sods/home demos the last few days. i'll stick up some of the recent "proper" recordings soon too.

lovely dooks, keep 'em coming

bit of a departure from the last thing but there's some skronky guitar fun here. this is a single my old band, daddy long legs, put out:

pretty sure it's all my tele into a peavey classic 30 and silverface champ. the guitar solo is an overdub though a blackface twin reissue and a ratt. recorded at premises in hackney in about 2006.

another departure. my other old band, the tacticians. i played bass. joe jnr does sterling work on the farfisa, tremolo and baritone guitar here.

My new plaything, swapped one of my PRS Santana SE for it.

Oooooh! Funny how all you PRS bitches are going all rockabilly now... ;]

Ah now, would have gotten one of these if I could have afforded it...
