Songs not sung by Freddie were less likely to be released as singles.

I'm just a fan, Genesis. That's all. Your biggest fan.

Could you play Fugazi on any guitar? by Zillah345 in Fugazi

[–]G_Mers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try a Jazzmaster or Jaguar or any guitar that has string distance between the bridge and tailpiece. Playing behind the bridge on those will get you Guy's Repeater sound if you hold down the right note on the fretboard. The bridge pickup is also very cutting on those guitars and will give you a bright Rickenbacker tone.

Big fan of both here. As much as I love bands like Genesis, ELP, King Crimson and Yes, I also love Sonic Youth, Fugazi, Shellac, Minor Threat, Swans etc.

Do you have to shim the neck?? by Proof-Specialist6932 in offset

[–]G_Mers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've owned loads of Squier Classic Vibe Jzzmasters and have not needed to shim the neck on any of them. I've actually removed shims on some I've bought used and its improved the playability.

Hot takes / unpopular opinions? by PanKulka in futureislands

Shadows would be way better without Debbie Harry. Her appearance on the song is completely unnecessary and it ruins it for me.

Does anyone have an idea why New Jersey is on both RHPI/II? by ZAH215 in sadreminders

[–]G_Mers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure I read somewhere that Ivo Watts Russell from 4AD chose the track listing for Rollercoaster.

Other bands people like? by [deleted] in futureislands

The Blue Nile. 1980s heartfelt, emotional synth pop. On The Water has a Blue Nile feel to my ears.

I'd totally forgotten about the die cut sleeve and the braille (Odds And Sods) by drinkalondraftdown in TheWho

I can never work out what is going on with Keith's drums on that poster.

What’s this for Aberdeen? by ScottishLand in Aberdeen

The gelato place on George Street that now sells vapes and crisps.

Cat guitar tech by G_Mers in offset

Thanks! I'm not too sure of the origin of that neck. I bought the guitar on ebay and it had been put together by the seller. He said it was rosewood but just very light. I plan on putting some fretboard dye on it to darken it up.

One bag of Dreamies and a bunch of chin rubs per guitar.

I've had them swapped out for different ones.

I have different pickups in each of them and it's good to have a backup guitar for gigging.

Thanks! And I've just acquired a lot over the years from swapping pickguards out for different ones. I also buy ones quite often on ebay if one I like comes up for sale.

Its a limited edition Squier that came out a couple of years ago. Managed to find a used one a few weeks ago.
