  1. Just been watching a few sound comparisons of this on YouTube up against a Warwick and the Cort absolutely blew the Warwick out of the water. 

     

    I've always said a Cort with any big name badge would be at least double the price. 

     

    I wish I'd got the funds to buy. I'd be all over this.

    what's the neck like please? any other info you can give?

     

    It's lovely when she wears a low cut top. But sometimes she wears a turtle neck and totally spoils it.

  3. Nah. Life's too short. 

     

    I was a bouncer for a good few years back in the day and well and truly had my fill of this kind of sh@t. 

     

    It's one of the reasons I don't enjoy gigging, or even socialising in a strange place. I've seen so much shit happen in pubs and bars that I just can't relax around drunks. Unless I'm one of them, which is not conducive to gigging. 

     

    Thankfully it's not as much of an issue where I live now because there's just not the same drinking mentality. But I still struggle with anxiety and find it very difficult to relax on gigs. 

  4. Nice buy. 

     

    They're superb little things those Junior Jets. Great build quality for the price. I had one for a while but just couldn't get on with short scale. Otherwise I would have kept it. 

     

     

  5. I'm intrigued by this. Apologies for the slight derailing of a for sale thread, but take it as a bump. 

     

    As far as I was aware, Gotoh and Wilkinson are two very different companies. Wilkinson being a well respected, yet budget end brand, and Gotoh being considered higher end.

     

    This is the first time I've ever seen Wilkinson by Gotoh. It looks pretty decent but I can't find much information on Google.

     

    Anybody got any background on these?

    Blimey. I'm the opposite of that really, I don't think I could be in a band with people I didn't think of as friends. A big part of the reason my soul band has lasted for nearly 30 years is that we're all mates. 

     

    Same. 

     

    Being in a band for me is, and always has been about hanging around with my mates. 

     

    But then again I suppose it depends on your level. If your a professional paid musician then it's just a job and you get on with it. 

     

    For me music is a hobby. I can't imagine anything worse than it just being a job and playing with relative strangers.

    Is there anyone who doesn't believe Ryanair is just a massive cash grab? Michael O'Leary is pretty damned mercenary.

     

    Very true. But love them or loathe them, along with easyJet I've never found a cheaper way to travel, and probably wouldn't be living here in Bulgaria if it weren't for the many cheap trips I've taken with them.

    Cadburys. What is this slop now offered under that name?

     

     

    I haven't had Cadbury chocolate for years. They don't sell it here. 

     

    My wife's just gone back to the UK for a couple of weeks and I've put in an order for her to bring back loads of Cadbury chocolate that I've been craving.

     

    Should I prepare to be disappointed? ☹️

  9. The guitarist in my band has a couple of these and they sound great.

     

    The tuners are green to replicate the original Gibson Les Paul tuners. 

    I had the same on a Vintage brand Les Paul and didn't like them either. 

     

    They just looked really cheap and tacky plastic to me.
