When on live TV be careful not to mix your words! Aunty, please, really! . Good job it wasn't Hampstead Heath :D

I found this fascinating so thought I'd share, best of luck finding over 2 hours spare.

Thx for saying what it is. Clicking mystery "watch this" links just leads to YouTube recommending a load of things you've got no interest in or you don't want associated with your recommendations algo at all.

SB -you are far to clever for your own good :). Slope (or rather an index of Slope) was exactly what I was looking for for my model, as concrete numbers (can) just add noise. it's an ongoing project (trying to define the model) and as it's time/odds based, such indexes work rather well. that said, you won't need to pack up your current bots just yet, the model i'm looking at will require about 1m rows of data to even match random 50/50 guesswork, and even then, if the model is flawed, then it's back to the drawing board.

still, keeps me out of trouble (or as you may attest to, stops me trying to find that ellusive '59 les paul for dirt cheap - another folly of mine!)

Luckily my Les Paul tastes are a lot cheaper and I'd be more than happy with a 55 Black Beauty.

if you want to do a pretty cheap but spectacular pickup change (that imho sound as good as throbaks at 1/10th the price), then check out these super cheap pups.

I put them into a 73 LP during lockdown - HUGE improvement...

Never been a big fan of hollowbodies, just find them too bulky and when I was growing up strats were always associated with bands like Deep Purple or the Shadows so best avoided even though my first guitar was a red Futurama 2 which was pretty much a cheap strat copy :oops:

I'm looking for somewhere to stick my 1980 Dirty Fingers, they might be a bit mild, Jim. I've far too many guitars at the moment, had a phase a few years back where I got into the Japanese 80/90's copies Greco's , Yamaha's Orville's etc need to trim th herd before buying more toys.
