Could only find these photos of his parents.

£10- not very micro!

I bought Ben’s compressor. Great pedal as advertised and really easy to deal with. Do not hesitate to, he’s a top bloke! Thanks, Jim

Well, I've kept it for 30 years so far just because I like it! But realistically I am not going to play it - I'm primarily piano/keys and I didn't like that trying to play it toughened up my finger pads. So bar me having about 3 or 4 short sessions with it, it's never been played except by the previous owner, but by the looks of things they played it about the same amount that I did. So cosmetic dings yes and I put all of those in the original photos, but doesn't look to have play wear really. I could only find one previously sold and it was a different colour, if you do come across any examples I would love to see them. That info is all really interesting, thank you! And this is clearly where I screwed up initially, I had known Squier was a budget brand so assumed there was not much second hand value in the one I had. Just had a measure and it is the 32" version. I'm not in a rush to do anything with it now I know this, so will just see what else I can find out and have a think. And I do play the keys less nowadays so maybe it is time for another go! Really appreciate the advice, thanks again!

He said on IG in the comments of the post announcing this that he’s aiming for a price point of about $400usd - I don’t think that’s really too bad for what it is and when you look at the price of a Finally v3 & Single slice comp new

Here's mine as I left it last night before hitting the sack. I do try to keep the desktop clear but small objects gradually accumulate, either because I haven't found a home for them yet or because I haven't got round to restoring them to said home. On this occasion I stayed up re-doing the cabling on the smaller (direct-to-PA) board, which involved swapping a cable from the larger board. They are both for skinny-string guitar btw.

And can't be doing with Fender basses either... Only ever played one I liked, which was a very expensive masterbuilt custom shop Jazz. And I didn't like that anywhere near as much as my ACG at 1/4 of the price!

Are they still in business? They seem to come and go, moving production around. Wasn’t it meant to be coming back to the UK? Perhaps that is why there is a 12 week delivery time. I imagine that is going to be quite heavy given the neck through design but always good to have another medium scale on the block. This one is serious money though, so I would definitely want to try it before buying.

I have struggled over the years with various RSI-type problems, particularly tendinitis in my forearms. Going to the doctor was no help at all - they simply said to rest the affected area, which, when it's your arms and hands, is unhelpful. I've found this book to be very helpful with exercises to relieve the inflammation short term but also helping to prevent injury by helping you to develop mobility and resilience in the relevant areas. https://amzn.eu/d/3B1NHtE

Northwest Guitars have Korean made P Bass guards which fit without having to re-drill, I have one on a Fender Player P and a Squier CV P.

Here's mine showing the song that I am currently working on: This workspace is shared with my day job where I do graphic design for packaging hence the rather tidy nature of everything. Most of my programming is done with the mouse and QWERTY keyboard and the guitars, basses and controller keyboards normally only come out when I am actually doing recording for the purposes of making something for release to the public.

I’m gonna stick with putting my money into UK music shops as far as I can.

I know, it was funny and I won’t admit to them that it actually did help me!

Check AliExpress for 13 hole pickguards, some funky colours, swirls and pearls, and maybe hardware, Gyker etc.

Hmm. It's not going will with my GuitarGuitar order. Two days after placing the order for next day delivery and it's still showing as 'pending' on their website. It feels like I've been the victim of sharp practice. I've messaged them asking for an update so let's see what they say.

Lovely bass and a total bargain these days! Yes, I think black hardware would suit it very well. The picture they did for you was very funny! 🤣

Here is my music place, with my desk, sorry for the mess... 🤪😂
