New Guitar for Beginners
At this time of year a lot of people decide learn to play guitar and often ask advice on what to buy for a complete beginner.
For a new instrument I don’t think its possible to get a better deal for the price than the Yamaha F310 Acoustic Guitar Pro Pack.
Ashbory Bass
My Ashbory basses will probably be making an appearance at the next few o5b gigs.
Ashbory bassess are tiny fretless instruments made by Fender with a scale length of 18″ (compared to the standard 34″ scale of a Fender precision bass). The remarkable thing about them, apart from the diminutive size, is the chunky silicone rubber strings, which with the transducer built into the bridge gives the bass a rich double-bass like tone.
Gigs at the New Town Sutton
We have a couple of gigs on Sat 15th Nov 2008 and Sat 20th Dec 2008 at the New Town in Sutton to round off the year. Entry is free and we’ll be playing from about 9.00pm.
Soul Relief Festival
We will be appearing at the Soul Relief Festival at the Apple Tree Pub (formerly the Weaver’s Arms) on Saturday 23rd August at about 4pm, just after the Parachute display team (this is an outdoor event).
