BudgetPedalChap is joined this week by the man-titan Matt Quine who began the podcast freshly off a 24-hour live stream moderation. We discuss the quality of beginner instruments and range available from around 10-15 years ago versus what is available today. We regale tales of our first guitars and the quality standards the shift in quality standards that we have perceived over the years. We also answer a question from our good friend Ollie Miles about beginner bass guitars for tracking bass tracks, which isn’t usually in our remit, but we can spread the love to the 4 strings every now and then. The episode is a little shorter than usual due to it being a very last-minute recording, the episode originally prepared for this week was lost due to a technology problem and will be rerecorded and coming to you another week. Thanks once again to Matt for being a huge help and jumping in not only last minute, but also after a marathon 24-hour live stream support. I urge you to go and donate (the links are detailed in the cast by Matt around 5 minutes in). Throw us a 5-star review on Itunes to help us soar up the ranks and sharing the cast helps us immensely also.
