Yes please. Boyhood hero and the first real band I saw as a kid.. PM sent -
Slightly off topic, but I bought a SH guitar from Andertons in March. It soon developed a fault and I returned it for repair. It went off to Yamaha and I have been kept up to date by the Andertons staff ever since. Not an ideal situation for either of us, but they really have been superb throughout. But Thomman have also been very helpful when needed. I live in France and the problem for me has been returning items to Andertons. Not their fault at all but since that political disaster a couple of years ago, reclaiming French VAT after the return is an absolute nightmare. Obviously, buying from Thomman is a safer bet for me.

I might have just struck lucky, but when I have returned stuff to Thomann, it's always gone very smoothly. All phone calls are dealt with in a professional manner and I'm very happy to buy from them again. Andertons are the only other on-line company I deal with and they have also been excellent. I haven't got a clue how many items are returned to Thomman every year but it must run into 10's of thousands and obviously mistakes will happen. But all that's not much consolation when things like that happens to you...!

Well, for once I'm glad I didn't actually sell this something...! I've just bought a JTV Variax guitar and these two should work nicely together.. -
I got mine for Christmas and absolutely love it. It plays like a dream and so easy to just pick up when the mood takes. I often use it at home with a Yamaha THR5A desktop amp but it really comes alive when put through my Bose mixer into a PA. The onboard FX and tuner really are a bonus. Highly recommended and some lucky BC'er will have a great time with this guitar. A good price and GLWTS -

I’ve just bought a JTV69S which is the Strat version of yours. Great guitar which I intend to hook up with my Firehawk FX board for gigging this summer. I bought it for several reasons, mainly the ability to easily switch between electric and acoustic, to do away with a capo and to avoid retuning for the 3-4 songs I sing in Eb…! Now frantically looking for a few songs where I can use the sitar. But I might give the banjo a miss… Easily worth your asking price GLWT -
Now sold… -

Selling my box set as in the title. My turntables are in a cupboard somewhere, so I can't vouch for how they play. The box is a bit tatty but the records look pristine as do the covers and sleeves. Collection preferred. £10 and it's yours...!

BUMP for price drop... Come on, you know you want to... -
Bump for price drop. -
Not really much to say about this item, it’s a microphone and it sits on your head… Brilliant for rehearsals or for busking. It’s in ‘as new’ condition and can be collected or I can post. https://www.thomann.de/gb/shure_wh20xlr.htm -
Think I was being too enthusiastic with the price here. I reckon £45 is nearer the mark. This is an unusual piece of kit that I bought a few years ago and it’s in mint condition. It’s a really difficult item to describe. It’s designed for home use but could be used for recording or live use. Some people use it alongside their computer for recording demos. You can access lots of Line 6 FX, amps and cabinets. It’s easier to watch this video, rather than listen to me mumble on about it. I know Lee Anderton is a bit Marmite, but he makes a good presentation here with Paul Hindmarsh, the Line 6 demonstrator. https://www.andertons.co.uk/line-6-amplifi-tt-table-top-bluetooth-guitar-fx-unit A good introduction to the Line 6 FX, amps and cabs for a fraction of the price of a Helix. Just not as sexy… Happy to deliver locally or meet you half way. Graham

This amp is in mint condition with no marks and has only been out the house on a few occasions. The newer ones have a built in looper, this is the older version without that feature. Its a brilliant piece of kit, runs on AA batteries if needed and can take electric or acoustic guitar plus a mic. Great for rehearsals of busking. https://www.mansons.co.uk/roland-cube-street-black I’m happy to deliver locally or meet you half way. Graham -
Ha…!! Might have been able to help with delivery, but I can’t do much about the bass…! -
I bought this guitar new a couple of years ago and fitted the LR Baggs for live use. I haven’t used it as much as I thought I would and so it has to go. Obviously Fender are more noted for their electric guitars, this one is rather nice and gets good reviews. It’s extremely well built and the finish is superb. The top is solid mahogany and the sides laminated mahogany. It plays very well and is a comfortable size to play when standing. I’m happy to deliver locally or meet you half way. There’s no case, so I wouldn’t be willing to post. Graham

I bought this guitar new 5 years ago. It’s in mint condition and comes complete with the original Epiphone hard case. There is a very small amount of buckle rash. And I mean a very small amount, which I’ve tried to photograph but can’t seem to capture. There is the usual slight tarnishing on the pick ups which is on every similar guitar I’ve ever seen. The case has minor scuffs, but is unmarked inside. it plays very well and I really can’t fault it. Several upgrades over a regular Casino which include USA switchgear and USA P-90 pickups The only reason for selling is because I’ve seen another guitar which I must have…! If it doesn’t sell, I’ll be happy to keep it. I’m willing to deliver within a reasonable distance or meet you half way. Here’s a couple of reviews… https://www.musicradar.com/reviews/guitars/epiphone-inspired-by-john-lennon-casino-233716 https://www.guitarfact.com/revolutionary-the-john-lennon-limited-edition-casinos

This stompbox is in exceptional condition and the reason is quite simple. I've never really used it..! I tried it out when I first got it of course but couldn't get into singing, playing guitar and stomping at the same time. If you have a looper I'm sure it would be dead easy. There's plenty of YouTube videos to give you an idea of what it does. And it's a lot cheaper and easier to use than a Helix...!! There are no marks at all and it comes in the original box. I'd really prefer collection, although I'm willing to drive a short distance to deliver or meet you half way.

I've had this item for several years but probably used it no more than a dozen times. It's in almost new condition with just a couple of minor scratches which, considering it's a foot pedal, is quite remarkable...! The Play GTX gives you an amazing source of effects for your guitar but really excels at vocal processing. Want to sound like The Eagles, The Beatles, The Everly Brothers or any band that uses complex harmonies...? It's all here. It works exactly as it should and comes with the original power supply

A already mentioned, a tenor uke is much easier to play for 'average' sized hands. Not to say you can't play a soprano, just that it's easier. It shouldn't make any difference if your uke is a different size to the ones the kids are using as you won't be using theirs. Hobgoblin do a good range of ukes to suit all pockets, but generally you'd be looking at around £100 for a decent instrument that you'll be using everyday. Don't forget to budget for a case. Maybe ask the company if they have a deal for their teachers, unless of course you're looking to learn to play the instrument before the interview...! Good luck...
