ABOUT

Awright, I sing a bit, played acoustic for a long time. then bang(o)!!
played banjo exclusively for 3 years, achieved a decent standard in scruggs style...
banjo got stolen, or maybe lost..?
got a cheapo 12 string telecaster because I love the Byrds... let's face it I'm never getting a ric 12 string...sh*te wee necks.
set up at forth music excellent.
plugged in, all treble max, wee bit reverb and loads of compression and it sounded like it, like a rickenbacker 12, I also noticed a big improvement and change in my pickin style was playing banjo rolls. slapped the metal picks on that was it, anyway that fell tae bits pretty quickly but sounded far better than most mid priced electric 12.. aye
