  1. Good call. An XLR, before the locking Neutrik jack-socket came out. I had a 1/4" on a bass collapse on me during a gig when I was a brat. Wasn't funny with no back-up.....😟
  2. Not one but TWO FODERA in a hock-shop in Edinburgh??
  3. Just popped along and, my oh my! Both 'Reserved'. Never seen that in a hock-shop before. Someone has either thrown a few quid at them then gone to the bank or the shop itself is waiting on provenance that they're not nicked! Pure speculation on my part, of course.
  4. It doesn't look like it's been grain-filled, either.
  5. He modified it - dunno why - but later pix show the jack plug going into the usual socket on the scratchplate.
  6. That G string looks like it could slide off the end of the fret with the slightest pressure. Does it do that, at all?
  7. No danger. Even if Ben is meant to now have the reins, you can bet that the little megalomaniac will be beavering away in the background.
  8. I saw somewhere on the 'net that they've opened a 'custom shop'. Perhaps this was a special order, rather than a sig?
  9. Anyone heard of S71 guitars? Those keys look odd on a full size Fender headstock. Burst '51
  10. They were band pass filters but were they ever marked as to what frequency bands were being bypassed?
  11. I fell in love with HH gear solely for that green backlight! Oh, how shallow is me! My first serious rig was an HH IC100S ('S' standing for 'Sustain', a horrible, fuzzy distortion) and a HH 2 x 15" cab. I pitied those guys lugging about a Peavey MkIV and the 215 BW cab. I once did a gig with the latter and help load it out!
  12. Seriously?? Did you not get robbed or slagged off?😁😁
  13. Man, I would have paid good coin to see that! My HH 2 x 15" cab had wheels on the bottom but I moved them to one of the sides. Great for loading up kit to wheel on the load-out.
  14. They were 'of their time', these things. I can see how those threads would get stripped.
  15. I remember one back in the mid '80s. It lived in a rehearsal room, covered in dust and beer-mould. When I played through it, it sounded like a fog-horn. The farting the speaker did when you dug in was interesting.
  16. He's still got the tuners. Rubbish or not, they'd be valubale for resale.
  17. These don't come up often. Anyone got an idea if the active circuit on these was anything like the later Precision Special?
