Interestingly enough, now that the 10% has gone, the HX effects has gone down 10% in price.. hmm...! Strangely enough the Stomp has gone up, but then our currency is plummeting, it might be new stock.

I saw one last month for sale - maybe the same one you got, sounds about the same! I thought about it but it was too far from home to take a chance with. If it had been somewhere I could drive easily I would have gone for it, but not sure it wouldn't end up being one of those things I wouldn't use. I have no real musical outlet for it in my current group and my prog cover group idea isn't going anywhere fast!

Some people will do anything to avoid hearing christmas songs

Sounds a bit like someone with one should ask TC what is going on with it!

PRS Kestrel I would think

Yes, its easier. When it all falls apart you can glare at them and everyone thinks its their fault!

I had a ticket to see spocks beard some time ago, but I went away for a couple of weeks and only came back the previous day, and couldn't be bothered to treck back out to london. Its a shame I missed them but I don't blame me for it!

well, there are 6 other days!

Our singer has one of those. It seems to survive everything, although it got a bit funny last week when the microphone stand got stuck on it!

No, more in the 'take £250 off that and it would be a good thing!"

I don't get the digital part - where is the digital input? That is an amazing amount of money for a headphone amp though!

Well, I like the woods they use, and the layout of the body, although it is a bit big, and I love the look of the pickups (and the idea of them). But then at some point you just have to look at the headstock, and OMFG. If you set out to create the ugliest headstock you could think of and you came up with that, you would feel pretty accomplished! On the other hand if you were ever stuck down a river in a boat without a paddle the Wal owner would be pretty smug!

I check but have never bought from Reverb yet. I do like the format though. I have noticed that UK sellers price things more on reverb - like Bass Direct and The Gallery, so if you see something from them it makes sense to go to their shop.

I appreciate the sound of the Wals*, but have never been a fan of the look, so not for me, even if I could afford one (and lets face it, afford is an abstract term anyway). Where in this context I mean the sound from RHCP, Rush (who I guess were also not fans of the look) and Tool.

That is the problem. If you wanted to have an investment, and you did have a crystal ball, if you had sold one in 1997 for £300, and invested the money into apple shares, you would probably now be able to buy all the walls in existence!

I have a Ibanez 5005 and 1605. They are both exactly the same shape, but the 5005 feels like I have put the 1605 on twice. However, sonically they are as bassy as each other. They don't sound the same because they have very different electronics

Well, they probably will, but as with bitcoins, if you bought one for £200 in the 90s, and it has now gone up 10 x that price, that is the part of the curve that is done. What you need to find is the thing that has yet to go up 10x. Having said that, I did do bit coins and it paid for the ashdown amplifier!

I love wenge. I have two 5 string ibanez SRs. The 5005 has a wenge neck and a wenge front and back. The 1605 has poplar (I think) on the top and back. The wenge is so much heavier than the 1605, it is amazing that those are the only differences.

That is good - you won, they replied. When I used JMB and someone contacted me with something I wasn't interested in, I would have said 'no thanks, thats not something I am interested in'. I thought it was just polite to reply to people.

I would say that in the last 2 weeks, i have played brown eyed girl at two birthday parties, one a 50th and one a 30th. In am in my 50s. The rest of the band are in their 30s. I guess it works out

Yeh, I sold my GVR36 to france for £1 fees

I do ebay often. I try and do the £1 fee thing where I can but if not, you can get easily more than 10% extra there than here if it is just something general, plus it is a bigger market, so it works out ok.

We play quite a lot of ska songs, but luckily I don't care, and they are all british ska bands too, so I guess that is appropriate.

Playing?? You are supposed to play them as well? Oh...

No, I don't really like the Beatles, but then I never had a problem playing reggae either
