  1. I'll have the VT bass, please - pm on way.
  2. Billy Squier is one of my favourite artists. I think that comment came about after that really awful video he did. He did have some chorus singers on one of his albums, called Billy's Choir...
  3. Darn - I want one of these, but a lot cheaper (<£10). I've had two attempts at buying on ebay and both times I've received one with a single deep notch. It's for an electric mandolin project, btw, so two strings per saddle.
  4. Well, there are approaches you can choose from when upgrading. I tend to try and put a budget on upgrading cheapies and certainly going past the value of the instrument probably busts that; otherwise it might just be a better option to get a better one in the first place. Since Spirits are sub-£200 instruments (s/h), I would most likely baulk at a pair of £80 pickups. (Of course, that's my approach - no reason why yours has to be the same!)
  5. The problem is those Aguilars are rather pricey...
  6. I've just seen it on FB too!
  7. Well, I managed to acquire one pickup for the Spirit 5 and I've just wired it in today. It's not bad, but I'm still keeping an eye out for another, or replacements. I also shifted my Rickenberger plans to a 4-string, which is coming along. Sadly, the outgoing 4-string pickups don't fit the 5-er.
  8. It's no longer there.
  9. That is impressively ugly.
  10. Complete baloney (bar the string swap comment, of course).
  11. Actually, I think I over-valued it; I forgot about the re-styled tuners. £20 for the pickups.
  12. £300 for a totally bodged Squier. There might be £50 in parts there, minus one hacked tuner.
  13. Nicely blended in, too.
  14. ‘Cos guitarists look at the switches when they’re playing? Some manufacturers (Cort, Rickenbacker) put removable overlays on their control panels.
  15. My peak this year was buying a Gibson Les Paul, A Danelectro 59, and a doubleneck in the same week...
  16. Oh boy...
  17. Maybe it explains something.
  18. I would've gone for it at £40 and bought a bass to put in it, but the end price was a bit too much for me.
  19. To rich for me.
  20. I am in awe of the creativity of the human mind!
  21. Prestige - now you're cooking!
  22. Not Later, but earlier, I happened to switch on and there was Carl Perkins and Friends on... George Harrison turned up later on...
  23. I hadn't thought of that - I'm calling it a Rickenberger!
  24. I hope wassisname doesn't see this and become inspired for his next conversion!
