Any body know anything about the guitars the band uses? Robert's appears to have two bass strings on it and the others use really heavy gauge strings, looks like bass strings as well

Could be. Looks like some sort of bass/guitar hybrid. Like what Charlie Hunter plays

sometimes he uses bass VI guitars which are barritone (lennon used these a lot too with the beatles)

they're usually tuned differently The Bass VI: Baritone Guitar or Bass?

I just wanted to double back and see if anyone has compared the indie version vs the 2LP half speed mastered version yet?

I was wondering that as well. Discogs reviews seem pretty mixed on it so that makes me think I'm glad I just went with the Indie version.

yeah, I'm still waiting on my indie version myself. I'll just stick with it, I think, the other reviews scare me!

My indie version sounds perfectly fine.

 

[LiamGallaghersBucketHat]

My half speed sounds fantastic.

Which parts do you disagree with?

I'm actually going through the whole Cure discography and ranking them as I go. I'm up through Disintegration and that's pretty much the order I have them in so far. But I know Wish will rank much higher for me.
