Hi from North Wales

My name is John Brock and I very occaisionally play out as a one man band
The ReadyGetSet (guitar drums harmonica and theramin ).. I bought my 1st
offset (Zen on Tradition) because I read that they're more comfortable to
play sitting down but mostly for their cool surfy vibe ... I play a mix
of surfied / trashy garage psychedelic instrumental covers with a smattering of Dick
Dale /Man or Astro man influenced "originals" (heavily plagarised) and a few actual songs.
Of a colection of over 20 guitars /basses I now own 3 offsets . the
others being a repaired (someone tried to smash it )and modded Squire
Cyclone, and a just arrived this week ,Aria 1820T reissue which has
introduced me to the delights of Fender style floating trem
The trem lock button so loose it was randomly locking/unlocking ,then buzz
and lower strings jumping out of the saddles ( I bought a cheap mustang
bridge off e-bay in anticipation ages ago ) It now plays and sounds as good as it looks (despite the pickups being super cheap ) Surfs Up !

when I'm not playing /tinkering with guitars I'm a window cleaner and Youth Worker ,Anita's boyfreind and father to 2 guitar and drum playing grown up kids
