"I really wanted to play your guitar" (tanked up punters)
fretmeister replied to a topic in General Discussion
Actually that reminded me of a time a now sadly departed friend of mine used that line and continued.... "Wait is that your girlfriend?" "Yes" "No deal." Punter stormed off in a right huff! -
"I really wanted to play your guitar" (tanked up punters)

My stock response. "Can I have a go on your guitar?" "Only if I can have a go on your girlfriend." Does the trick. -
I'm amazed this is still here. I'd never sell mine. Fantastic bit of kit, and so versatile. -
Very nice. It seems the Marcus Gold Line was just the start of a bunch of updated designs. I'm turning into a MB fanboy.
-
The Aguilar 60s wind P pickup is fantastic. That's what I'd pick.
-
Yes and no. (Ignoring compression which I always like). Playing a set of Otis Redding tunes - nope. Playing a modern set with Muse, Jamiroquai, RHCP etc - yes. It all depends on the song.
-
I've got Aguilar P pickups - the 60s wind. It's brilliant. Thick and chewy tone but not muddy at all.
-
Markbass Marcus Limited Gold Line 800. Much better EQ freqs and the semi parametric. A real step up from the LM2/3
-
My current favourite. Bumped my Cali76 off my board

Send a polite email then. I once bought an iPad and the day after I got it the new one was announced and the old one was cheaper. I called them and they gave me the option of refunding the difference or sending it back so I could order the new spec one. I was polite and got what I wanted. An email doesn't have to be confrontational - that will only happen if you are angry in your email. Be nice.

I cant find prices for the new GKs. What are they?
-
Certainly am - not taken my DG head to rehearsal since I got the Marcus Limited. Just take that and a mini board with a Thumpinator, compressor and a tuner. Very happy. Just not with Boss!
-
I just couldn't bring myself to pay more for an empty board than the actual controller for my Helix.
-
Is there any noticeable latency from all the AD/DA conversion going on?
-
Give you a clue... The lids for the boards cost upwards of £150...
-
Helix stomp.
-
Must have done! Maybe I upset them. I do recall once describing Chappers as a "well meaning bell-end"
-
I like that. It's too damn expensive, but I like it.

That worked great! I'll try that, if my pedal ever arrives.

Is the dust free with the bass? -
NBD x2. Tony Franklin and SR5 join the pack

I used to play alto, then a few years ago my youngest spawn started to play, so now I have one in the house again and I'm surprised how much I remember. She is better than me though! -

Bollocks to the basses - that bari sax is lovely! -
We were all married.

The amusing thing is - if it was a Les Paul, then the neck will be stronger after the break and repair than before! Even so - I'd have to be desperate for that model, and I'd need to know who did the work (with a receipt) before I considered it.
