Just a word of warning - I was browsing the internet when a message popped up: 'Please send us your feedback - we do value it'. Hoping to make a few quid before Christmas, I sent them a minute and a half of my Martin D18 with Fishman Matrix Infinity pickup, howling through a Vox AC15 amp, but have heard nothing from them, let alone received any remittance. There are some bad people out there......

Your post isn't very informative, Rusty. Who is this "them" you refer to? Did they propose to pay you for a sound sample?

it was a joke, Michael. Internet sites keep saying how much they value feedback , so Rusty sent "them" a recording of feedback generated by his howling guitar and amp.

When I was young I used to feed the cows. A few hours later we'd get our feed back.

"That post was a load of s**t!"

And I had assumed he was talking about milk.

(An interesting variation on the 'glass half full/glass half empty' dichotomy.)

Wow! Obviously I started this thread as a serious public service, but now Nigel Parsons has provided the makings of the ultimate saloon bar challenge! What a great place our Mudcat is!
