Massive fan, but last tour wasnt their best. So much quality, and a lot wider range than most people think. Wish still stands out as my favourite listen to when ‘slightly whizzed/ out of it’ album.

I think a lot would like to see him get a free ticket to certain place in The Hague.

We have two angles, one is a punk/ alternative set from late 70s to early 90s and the more generic ‘pub band’ mix which we usually punt as the best of rock and alternative music from the 60s to the naughties. But to be honest all the gigs we have got so far have either been by reputation, word of mouth or by actually talking to the landlord (we have a couple of example set lists we can show which helps). We haven’t done the wide spread approach yet as we aren’t playing that many gigs. If we do then a Facebook page will probably be the way forward.

They do appear second hand biut they aren’t cheap, worth keeping an eye out on here, I found a pair in the classifieds.

Yup, both my Gibson and the ones I was going to take pics of are without the scoops.

I have a pair of Gibson ones sat ready for a project, I could get pics tomorrow if it’s helpful.

Your position is different from a lot (most?) on here and if I were is your shoes then it would 100% be the case, for me it’s a wind down after work. I am lucky to play with three mates from work. After ten hours at work you would think the last thing any of us would want is a 2-3hr rehearsal but I find I go home feeling refreshed and positive. I am lucky to have fallen in with three great guys, our lead singer/ guitarist is superbly talented, the drummer is genuinely superb and the rhythm guitarist, whilst not the most organised or prepared, is a F’ing animal on stage. I just love it and wish I had got off my backside and done it properly thirty years when I first tried (for two weeks). But better late than never. And for me, hearing the experiences of professionals such as yourself Blue is always helpful and fascinating.

I don’t care about money generally, I do care about having a good time. It may be alien to some people bit to me life is too short to play ‘keeping up with the Jones’s’. I have repeatedly refused promotion as I love what I do and it brings in enough for me to do the things I want to do and have the time to do them. It’s a high pressure job and the band is a group of lads (35-45) who work hard, rehearse hard and play, well medium these days. 15 months ago I had just started playing, now we have two setlists covering 40 songs and paying gigs booked. Happy days!

I had an Omen 4, build quality was superb and far better than certain well known makes for the money.

But how can you be sure? And there in lies the problem, or rather it doesn’t but some people seem determined to prove there is a significant problem. And the only way to be 100% sure........ it’s ridiculous but there you go. I give up, so long and thanks for all the fish.

The potential outcome of all this is a disastrous change or even closure of the for sale section on here. Will that make buying safer for people? No, the exact opposite in fact. And for what? I find it quite depressing.

I think he is trying to point out that while they exist, it doesn’t present a problem on here.

I don’t, our lead guitarist does when he hosts an open mic night, he has a book with a few hundred songs in so he can cover most things people may ask for which seems sensible.

Don’t worry, if it’s Hermes no one will get it.

My mate was in a Beatles tribute band, he was George though. Still funny watching him don a shaggy wig and speak with a scouse accent. They were bloody good though.

Not raining here, sleeting a bit though.

Even with the app up and running you can’t get settings off the amp. It’s a one way process which is the problem. There is no way, apart from your own memory, of knowing what is on the amp/ pedal.

It is the one frustrating thing about it, similarly there is no way to download or store your present set up on the pedal. I have sent a few emails to the technical department and get the impression others have as well so hopefully it will be upgraded at some point.

A Has been?

Sold a pedal to aTomas, great communication and totally reliable. Perfect buyer. Thanks mate.

Do Fender do beans? Marshall do (or did) phones so anything is possible. If they do would each bean have a waterslide transfer?

I paid £300 for mine earlier this year and very impressed with it at that money, The amp isn’t great but you wouldn’t expect it to be for the cost of it. I wouldn’t pay full price but the £375 is a very good deal for any9ne genuinely wanting one.

Still on eBay for £370+ if anyone is mad enough.

I wonder how many will take up the £375? A great price but my guess will be around the zero takers mark.
