Strangely, I no longer have the Fender Urge and yet despite being hardly mainstream, it has had the most hits! I have no idea why! The feature I did on Peter Cook has always been very popular and I'm sure he will be pleased that his posts have been well read. :) The Ovation Magnum has also had a lot of readers, I think mainly due to the pics that I took of mine, which I am very pleased with. Peavey T-40, always popular. The thing that I find very pleasing, as a big fan of Ibanez, is how high some of those have come on the list. The Yamaha SB500 has had quite a few hits, as there is not much out there about these fairly rare basses. The Ibanez Destroyer/Greco has been well vistied - not many of either of these around! Well, hope you enjoy browsing through the most popular ones - I will be wrapping up the Peavey T Series feature, over the next few weeks and then I think I will do a few more of the Guitars.
So, to celebrate this 100000 milestone, I am going to make a blatant plug for one of my very favourite guitarists! Yes, I play bass but am a great lover of guitar and love everything from Classical, through to Hard Rock, traveling through Funk, Prog and Blues. For me, this guy just does it so well and I never get tired of listening to his music and guitar playing. He has played amongst so many of the great players and his piers and yet is still relatively unknown. His last album, "Coming up for air" was produced by no less than the very talented Peter Frampton, another one of my favourite guitarists. Coming from the Isle of Man and only around 25 years old, he is now living in Chicago and spreading his music, mainly across the USA - although I have been lucky enough to see him live, twice - a truly moving experience.
Readers, please give a big hand for Mr Davy Knowles!
Playing alongside Paul Reed Smith - Davy, is pretty much welded to a PRS guitar, these days.
Davy's album traveled around the the word, in a NASA spaceship - over 5 million miles!
Hope you enjoy watching these and check out his other work. Any existing fans out there, drop in and say hi on the comments section.
Once again, many thanks to all of you readers out there - here's to the next 100000 visitors.
