Very nice touch, tone and CHOPS ! The pickup sounds great for his playing style where he obviously wants to make the wound strings heard, complete with the scraping sounds of his pick. Here this...
The value of your investments might also be affected by events beyond your control:
'Many of the scientists envisage a “semi-dystopian” future, with famines, conflicts and mass migration,...
