  1. [quote name='cetera' timestamp='1345060780' post='1773105'] I don't believe there's anything of note, no... [/quote] Shame - If it was definitely a MIJ Fender fotoflame, I'd snatch your arm off.

  4. Now that looks tasty. Some questions: What's the neck profile on this? How wide is it at the nut, please? Is it switchable between active and passive? Can it be played in passive mode? How heavy is it? Thanks, Steve

  10. [quote name='highwayone' timestamp='1341248702' post='1715752'] Hi Steve, the nut width is approx 43mm(according to Fender it's 41.3mm) and the neck is about 25mm front to back at the first fret. Not sure if it's the same as a MIA as I haven't any info on them. They are pretty chunky but then again I've been using an Ibanez of late so it does feel chunky compared to that! [/quote] Thanks for these measurements. I'm fairly sure these are the same as the MIA P I sold in favour of a 62 reissue, in which case, I shall pass. Can't see this hanging about for long. Steve

  12. Ha! Just as I thought. They're trying the same thing for Christmas eve, and they've been rumbled: [url="http://nwb.co/blog/post/43270/themaltings/lets-see-if-anyone-can-help-me-out-with-this"]http://nwb.co/blog/post/43270/themaltings/lets-see-if-anyone-can-help-me-out-with-this[/url]
  13. Lots of emails between the pub and me today. It would be a new venue for us. As a sort of "try-before-you-buy" I suggested that we did a Friday night gig for £200 and then, if that went well, we could work out a bulk-buy package price for NYE + 4 gigs for 2013. Pub didn't go for this. Effectivelythey were setting up a dutch auction where a number of bands were set against each other for the lowest bid. Stuff that, I thought. Steve
  14. Folks, What's the going rate for a New Years Eve pub gig, do you reckon? Steve
  15. What's the nut width on this, please? Also, how deep is the neck front-to-back? - is it the same neck profile as the current MIA Precision? Steve
  16. [quote name='jag-atk' timestamp='1341144525' post='1714220'] Free bump for Steve, a nice guy to deal with! good luck with your trade [/quote] Thank you! I think I'm going to keep the Blazer for now. At a pub gig on Friday, the Fender was booming all over the place and no amount of eq'ing or re-positioning of the cab in the room would solve the problem. I got the Blazer out - problem instantly solved, possibly because it has more punch and mid-range than the Fender. Today, I played the Fender at a barn-based charity gig and it worked really well. So, both have their merits. I'll keep the Blazer for now. Steve

  19. As soon as I heard this, I sent it to my pub-rock band as an example of less-is-more. As a counterbalance to that 2-overdriven-guitars-and-heavy-handed-drummer-rock-covers band, I've started the process of putting together my own female-fronted covers band aiming at wine bars and coffee houses, and I sent this video to a prospective singer as an example of what I'm aiming at. I really like the stripped-down vibe, and I just love the singer's voice. For me, that's the type of band I've been looking for for years. Steve
  20. Change of plan, folks. I've come to my senses and I'm keeping the Blazer as a very worthy back-up to my MIJ Precision. Steve

  22. I'm advertising a watch on Gumtree, and it's only attracted scams. People don't negotiate the price, offering the full amount straight away. They then say they've paid by PayPal and the funds will be released when proof of postage is sent to PayPal.
  23. Bit of a shout for Status half-wounds. Smooth as you like and appreciably brighter-sounding than the Ernie Ball flats I recently tried on my Blazer.Good value too - £17 for a set of 4: [url="http://www.status-graphite.com/status/frames/index_home.html"]http://www.status-gr...index_home.html[/url]
