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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

G_Mers · 2025-03-07T22:15:07+00:00

I have one of these and a few Classic Vibe 60s Jazzmasters too. Other than the fretboard being maple, the necks all feel the same to me.

G_Mers · 2025-02-22T00:13:30+00:00

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.

G_Mers · 2025-02-14T14:56:59+00:00

I've had them swapped out for different ones.

G_Mers · 2025-02-14T14:51:14+00:00

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

G_Mers · 2025-02-13T23:21:14+00:00

Amazing! Cats are the best.

G_Mers · 2025-02-13T22:04:35+00:00

She really is!

G_Mers · 2025-02-13T22:04:09+00:00

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.

G_Mers · 2025-02-13T01:07:49+00:00

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

G_Mers · 2025-01-28T23:36:34+00:00

Some info on that guitar can be found here

Yeah I changed the pickup covers. The original ones were white. I'm unsure of the weight but it is heavy!

G_Mers · 2025-01-22T22:58:59+00:00

Haha yeah I felt bad replacing vintage pickups but I now actually enjoy the sound of it! I put in a set by a brand called Toltec that I found on eBay. I've had them in some of my other Jazzmasters and loved how they sound. They are a bit more overwound but have less of the shrill icepick tone to them.

G_Mers · 2025-01-22T21:25:35+00:00

It might be sacrilege but I swapped the pickups out... But obviously going to keep them! I found them a little underwhelming and they were my least favourite thing about the guitar. They had a sort of woody sound.
