Hirer Of The Month: Nikola Zbiljic
This is how bands begin! Just love this. Nikola meets some friends at college, turns out some of them are musicians, they book a rehearsal studio, a 12-bar blues breaks out and the magic - and the smiles - begin. Just like it happens for so many bands when they start. Johnny Marr remembers the first rehearsals of The Smiths in exactly the same way: "When we started playing the first song, which was ‘Handsome Devil’, it sounded so good to us that we did what every other band does in that situation: we started to laugh. It’s a fantastic truth and a profound irony that the very first thing The Smiths did when they got together was to start laughing uncontrollably.” The start of greatness.
There's the magic, and there's that 1992 Telecaster in Metallic Blue again. One of the most popular hires, it gives you everything you need, whether your first session or your umpteenth gig - classic Tele tones on a maple board. If you want to give it a go, just click here, and get ready to smile!
