Spotted this little ‘fire truck’ outside Starbuck’s this afternoon.

Strange little contraption. I have never seen a trolley quite like it!

Black sheep diddley bow – electric test

The black sheep diddley bow gets some video action. I’m so ghetto I am holding my mobile phone in my mouth so you can catch how this is.

Malaysian Rally 2010 (MR10), April 23-25, 2010, Johor Bahru

Had a great time walking around the paddock tents at the Malaysian Rally 2010.  We didn’t even realize it was one, until we spotted a stand whilst walking around ‘Plaza Angsana Shopping Complex” on the Friday night.  I checked the schedules and headed up again on Saturday and Sunday. Didn’t get a chance to watch the cars on the stages, but I did get to poke my camera around and chat with some of the teams and drivers. All really quiet relaxed actually. Even the Sultan’s security team were chatty.

All change

I have not really been giving my blog the time it deserved of late. Two posts in a year, I bet you think that’s pretty clever don’t you, boy! Well, no. I have actually just ripped out the engine from my blog and replaced it with a turbo charged, nitrous injected, 1000bhp version. Now I can add many things from the many places around the web and keep you nicely up to date with things about me from all directions. I hope it brings more posts.

Black Sheep Diddley Bow

This is my first prototype for my ‘Black Sheep Diddley Bow’.

It is a one string electric guitar that you play ‘slide’ by moving a bottleneck up and down the string like a moving fret.  

These photos do not show the pickup fitted, but I did tuck it in there with some blocks of wood for test purposes, and it sounds good when amped. 

Unfortunately, the ‘garden wire’ I bought is not tensile enough. It wouldn’t hold tune for very long and snapped shortly after these photos, so I need to find something better.

For more info on Diddley Bow’s you can google or youtube the following chaps :-

P.S. I know it has been some time since I posted and lots has happened in that time. My bad. For starters, over on the right hand side of my blog page you should see 3 new DJ mixes. 2 are d’n'b and the third is some first pass at mixing Hindi tunes with UK dance beats. Enjoy
