  1. Living in France is a bit different to being in the UK. As mentioned above, Thomann use UPS here and I've never had a problem with them.

     
    I did return a faulty guitar a month or two ago and I had to use the French postal service. It got lost and Thomann made me wait a week or so in case it turned up (fair enough I thought) and then sent out a replacement. 

     

    I've always found their customer service to be first class and buy quite a lot of gear from them. When I'm in the UK (rarely) I tend to use Andertons, who are equally good.

     

    If Andertons have the item you want, I'd have no hesitation in recommending them

  2. Just watched Mary Spender's video review and she's taken by it completely. Yes, I know that Fender gave her the unit, however I've always found her to be quite truthful when talking about gear.

     

    But at that price, not many of us will be lucky enough to be in the queue to buy one. And they may have arrived at the party too late to tempt folk away from their Helix etc.

     

  3. This guitar is in near mint condition. It's in Tobacco Brown Sunburst and comes complete with original sturdy gigbag, pilots guide and unused Yamaha earphones.

     

    I've gigged with it this year but like all my gear, I've look after it and it's in execptional condition.

     

    Here's the spec from Yamaha...

    Briefly, it has a piezo pickup together with the Yamaha SRT modelling feature which replicates the sound of a top end acoustic guitar recorded by an equally high end micophone. These two can be blended to give an impressive acoustic sound. Plenty of YT videos to quench your thirst.

     

    It's a great guitar for playing at home (takes up hardly any room) and for gigging. As it's a solid body, it doesn't feedback. New price from Yamaha is £695

     

    I'm not with the guitar at the moment so photos will be added as soon as I'm reunited with it...!

     

    I'm only selling to fund a PRS Hollowbody which also has a piezo fitted, so I can flit between electric and acoustic at the flick of a switch.

     

    It can be collected from me in Hampshire or I can meet you/deliver within a reasonable distance. I'm not willing to post, but it will be well packed if you want to arrange a courier.

     

    Thanks

  4. I would always get monitor levels set first, then FOH.  You can always fine tune it once you have everything up and running. It's amazing how different things sound when FOH kicks in and the band will often ask for less in the monitors.

    But that was in my days of only doing sound, not playing at the same time. I do both now but we're generally a three piece with fairly simple gear and in smaller venues.

    Trying to play and be the sound guy at the same time is a very uneviable task in a full band situation.

    The stress levels just destroy the whole experience of enjoying the evening.
