Having recently inherited an old Fender Twin Reverb amp, I'm currently having a huge amount of fun playing my acoustic through it (even tried the cittern but the feedback is ear-splitting). Someone once described my style of playing as "psychfolk" and it sounds even more so when amplified and given lots of reverb.

Yeah! Love it! At least a bit of real folk! My wife bought a Roland Micro Cube the other day for her Purple Heart Daisyrock; lots of sweet FX, so she can get a real Cocteau Twins vibe going on her accompaniments. Two of the songs for the new Fylde show this year (DEMDYKE! - more of which anon) feature Rachel's Daisyrock in consort with Ross Campbell's Fylde Cittern and my Crwth (both unamplified) - the effect is, of course, utterly delicious!

I'm poised on buying an electric bass; not sure what yet, but I have a notion that the bass is not only my natural instrument but also the ideal thing for accompanying traditional folk songs. The set up will include a Micro Cube bass amp, a Line 1 Delay modeller, and a fuzz/wah pedal. The bass was my first instrument, but I haven't had one for years, although in music shops I often plug in a Precision and do my Janik Topp approximations much to the bafflement of the local kids & staff alike...
