I now have an Amazon store featuring all the gear, books etc you see here in these videos, and that I use myself on gigs/in the studio and recommend.

Hi Ollie, thanks for watching and for making a request. At present, there’s a large number of requests from channel members on the list and I’m working my way through them - so I’ll be honest and say it’s unlikely I’ll be able to fulfill any requests from non-members at this point. But thank you for watching and for your interest, much appreciated and so glad if you've found the channel useful :)
