Old Git (former member RIP) would have had some advice here. Although the first thing he would have asked would probably have been 'what did the band do to advertise the gig?'.

[quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1346492549' post='1789811'] I've seen some real horror stories about these guitars on other forums. Its great that the OP is really pleased with his, but one example of a good guitar is not representative of a whole range (nor is one bad guitar for that matter). [/quote] Before purchasing mine I read all the reviews I could find. I saw the ones which mentioned sharp fret edges and dodgy paint work, but no horror stories. Got any links?

Brutal! Bit of a Les Claypool influence? Like!

it's the first time I've found listening to Nirvana tolerable.

sounds a bit like the start of a joke, but no. As it says - a couple of suprises [url="http://music.msn.com/music/article.aspx?news=754433"]http://music.msn.com...spx?news=754433[/url]

The Junkyard Dogs on a school night! Thursday August 30th 9.00pm FREE Plough Inn, 297 Northfield Avenue, Ealing, London 020 8567 1416 It's our first appearance at this venue. Come and see what the fuss is about. [url="http://ploughnorthfields.co.uk/"]http://ploughnorthfields.co.uk/[/url]

A landlord at a pub we play told us his punters don't like Country ([i]and [/i]Western). So we dropped Folsom Prison Blues from the set. I don't really think it's an issue, there are plenty of songs to play.

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1345891114' post='1782776'] Bottom line is Fodera have been going since 1983. If their instruments didn't sell at their price point, they wouldn't exist any more. [/quote] unless they were laundering money for organised crime, £7K through the till - small change!

[quote name='steve-soar' timestamp='1345897444' post='1782857'] Me please. Ta. [/quote] First or fourth?

I think some posts raise an interesting question - at what price point is a good bass good, rather than being 'good for the money'?

[quote name='Wolverinebass' timestamp='1345808752' post='1781788'] Would it be any better than a bass that cost 4 grand? I wonder. Us mere mortals I doubt will never get to play something that expensive..... [/quote] there were a couple of Fodera's at the last SE Bassbash. Not sure they were the 7 grand ones though.

one Ritter?

Big Goth crossover too. Lot's of Steampunks go to WGW.

I've got a brand new Epiphone guitar (not bass) gig bag/carry case. It's only been used to bring my guitar home and has since been left behind the sofa. Happy to donate if guitar stuff is acceptable.

[quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1343915087' post='1757253'] current guitars are: Hamer Chaparral. - Early 90's active model, made in USA and with boomers on the fretboard. Fantastic for widdle and whammying, but also extremely versatile. By far my faviourite neck, flat thin and fast. Epiphone [color=#000000]Jay Jay French[/color] Twisted Pinkburst Signature Les Paul. - Had to buy it just for the Twisted Sister connection. Covers all LP ground, but has a coil tap so again pretty versatile. Pink so always creates a stir. Gibson Melody Maker Flying V. - white with black pick guard. One H pup and a single volume pot so it's not designed to be anything other than a rock machine. Sounds great and is sooooo pretty! Had to buy due to the insanely low brand new price. Will put up pics soon. [/quote] Here you go, and all while being gigged.
