You transcribed "Bach" (Jeff Berlin)??? Coincidentally, I listened to that this morning!

I too can't have just one of something. I would like a Unicorn to go with my Flyte, though.

I'm sure @Bassassin might drop in to comment, but meanwhile... Grecos were predominantly made at the Fujigen factory, alongsids Ibanez, Electra, and other brands (they were essentially the same instrument with a different logo on the headstock). A good thru-neck one is probably top of the tree for vintage Japanese fakers. Some of the earlier bolt-on ones with different pickups maybe not quite so great.

I had an invite to go to their last final tour, but the ex double-booked me, so I missed out.

It is about the video. (I have a hi-fi for listening.)

I tend to give videos a minute or so and if they're just focusing on the singer with maybe a cursory shot of the guitarist striking a pose, then I tend to wander off.

I blame brexit!

I wouldn't mind going to see the support acts, but I'd be getting the train home early once they were done.

I've stepped away from eBay, as I'm fed up with being told counterfeit items weren't in violation of their policy, plus they're going to add a buyers fee to sales starting this week. I used to auto-run a browser window with several tabs of searches ready to view on starting my PC, but I've stopped it. Maybe others are looking elsewhere too.

Great bloke is Tim; this is my Mustang. He's also done some retail Strat pickguards for Alegree.

I think my Tele is Lake Placid Blue.

Sum Up are used by catering companies at events; they also can do electronic receipts. I'm not sure whether a proper shopping app like Wix or Shopify would be overkill.

I quite like Grand Funk.

I've got the Rush "Studio Recordings" box sets (from around 2014) and they had HD versions of some of the albums, which are quite good. I also prefer/collect the "mini-LP" versions of CDs versus the jewel-case and digipack ones, so they ticked that (ahem) box. I am slowly picking up HD versions of albums, be they DVD/Blu-Ray or from HD Tracks; some of them are better to my ears, but others aren't much of an improvement (Black Sabbath's mixes have Ozzy too loud and the drums lost, whilst Led Zeppelin's are a bit too trebly). I have to say the Giles Martin remixes of The Beatles albums are really worth checking out (on plain CD).

Cheers! Since then, I've bought a Teddy XPS and had my 250 serviced - crikey it sound good! Some day I'll get a 52 pre-amp... I haven't yet listened to my CDS2, but may do over the weekend; it should beat the NDX.

That history stuff is all interesting and intriquing, but the thread title is "Originally made by IBANEZ sold to rondo music".

Just a sub-note to the power to loudness; that's all other things being equal and the speakers not limiting, cables being transparent, etc. Not saying it's wrong per-se, but just beware of things which don't state the assumptions being made. There's another saying that 10dB is twice as loud. But I've also seen 10x Watts = twice as loud (ie. 1000W = twice as loud as 100W); that's why a 50W valve amp can sound surprisingly loud!

More than words could say.

Because two 8 Ohm cabs in parallel make 4 Ohms.

That's interesting - I'd like a usable & reliable pre/power setup. The Sumo is a weird shape though; I suppose it might fit in a rack behind a shallow pre-amp.

On a point of order, I don't think Ibanez make instruments; they commission manufacturers like Fujigen & Cort to make the instruments for them.

I've bought things online from Sound Affects; never been there though.

I saw they've posted a message on Facebook asking for info on his whereabouts.
