Football is rubbish.
The only thing I can think of is that if I ever buy a Hofner violin bass it would be because of Paul McCartney; as in, if he never played one it wouldn't even be on the radar. But even then, it would only be considered because it offers something tonally that I don't already have and I quite possibly won't buy one for tone reasons too.
But also looks.
I avoided Teles for years because I thought they were ugly.
Strat (black, maple neck) - impulse buy but definitely EC influenced.
Like folk who insist a Maple fretboard adds loads of bright snap compared to rosewood. If there is a difference, it's miniscule and easily dialed into an amp.
Not downplaying the importance of tone wood, but a thin cap on a fretboard compared to the great lumps of wood at either end of the string... Fretboard is feel and looks imo.
Likewise, I desperately want a gretsch. I want one without a tension bar bigsby, like a b70 or b7.
I can convince myself this is for the lower string break angle for a less sustainy, jangly tone a la jazzmaster. In reality, I think tension bar bigsby vibratos are ugly as balls
Gene Simmons, bassist and vocalist of KISS, is famed for having an unusually long tongue.
”… I claim my five Guineas” is a reference to the Lobby Lud sales boosting campaign by the Westminster Gazette newspaper.
I am a fan of the humour of Took and Feldman, as heard on Round The Horne. You probably didn’t wish to know this.
3. I'm not English and thus have no idea what you're on about with Lobby Lud and Round the Horne.
2. Still feel like I'm missing something but that's alright.
My only guitars are a d'angelico deluxe Brighton, an 80wls Japanese bc Rick warlock and a 1910s solid wood parlour, people care too much about a name and ignore the Importance of sound and playability, where as for me, looks and "mojo" /coolness play 2nd fiddle.
