No. I have the M (MOSFET version). Although they're so good, at some point when finances allow, I'm going to buy the tube version as well.

I have the Bugera Veyron, which is probably the cheapest 'powerful' class D on the market. Press the low boost, and high boost buttons, dial in a little bit of the built in compressor, get the mids where you want them, leave everything else around 12 o'clock, and the thing sounds absolutely sublime!

Tidy. 👍

Never heard of them, but that looks quite nice.

The biggest problem with this for me, is it comes in at around the same price as the Burgera Veyron, which is an absolute monster! Given a choice between that and this, I'd take the Veyron every time.

None of the above. I think my first exposure to the bands I liked all came from copied cassettes from friends. I never listened to the radio or watched TOTP. Most of the music they played did nothing for me. I'd say early MTV was the closest to a broadcast I could relate to, specifically Headbangers ball and Aerosmith on heavy rotation.

That's looking absolutely superb!

Same. I honestly couldn't see me ever being in a band with people I didn't already know. I've never auditioned for a band in my life and I can't imagine I ever would. I'm just not at that level professionally or personally where I want to be in a band for the sake of it. Every band I've ever been in (and there's only been 3) has been a bunch of mates hanging out and making a noise together. That's all I've ever wanted out of being in a band.

Thanks. I was hoping they were gonna be in the EU so I could dodge the import fees.

Yup. I'm having the same issues.

Where are they based?

Google's Pete Way. I've never understood why an instrument is suddenly worth ten to twenty times it's actual value because it was once owned by someone famous. I mean, yeah if it's something truly iconic used by an equally iconic star, then it would have some collectability value for museums etc, but some of the prices for a shortly used instrument are insane. I suppose anyone can ask what they want for anything. Whether someone is willing to pay it is another matter entirely.

It looks like a vibratortron 5000. Erm......... So I'm told. 😳

Ah, that kind of lefty. I thought it was going to be another Morrissey diatribe.

A grand for a Squier? That's a bargain I can live without. 😆
