Well, Easter has come and gone….and so has George. I can drink my tea in peace, safe in the knowledge that a cat isn’t going to shove its nose in it the moment I set down the cup.
I’m not sure that it’s likely that I will get a cat….I think I’ve figured out, that whilst I like pets, and I have no problem with them being around, I don’t think I really get anything special out of it.
I have no ingrained need for a pet. I think I need company that I can have a real conversation with, instead of just getting a blank feline stare back…heh.
Nick came round tonight for our fortnightly recording / jaming / whatever session, and he brought with him a Gibson SG guitar that a friend of his had lent him.
It was rather interesting trying to compare it with my Ibanez S-Classic.
For heavily overdriven or distorted metal stuff, there wasn’t really much of a difference. We tried recording the same riff on both guitars to compare.
But if you back off on the distortion a bit, then the SG seemed to have a slightly fuller sound – at least on the lower strings – particularly in the attack. The effect was less noticeable on the higher strings though
It was a pretty nice guitar, but I think after playing it a bit, that I prefer my Ibanez. It’s lighter for a start, and I kind of prefer its more elegant, subtle shape. It also seems to have a more predictable tone.
Of course, I’ve had my guitar a couple of years now, so I’m pretty used to it, and that was the first time I’d seen that one – so I’m probably fairly biased.
