I probably wouldn't change anything at all, except the strings. If I was going to change anything it wouldn't be until I'd played it stock for a while.

... and Leo shows how it's done ...

... and here's another one ...

I've got 64s in my Squier CV 60s Jazz. They sound great.

The best I could manage was 16 steps so I won't bore you with them.

I don't have twins but I used to be in a band with a guitarist who had quintuplets. Five white Stratocasters with white scratchplates - one tuned regular and four different open tunings. He had a litle sticker on the upper horn of each to remind him which was which.

Gloves or no Gloves, in the OP.[/quote] It was either the first half or the second half. Other than that I couldn't tell.

[quote name='paul h' post='818852' date='Apr 26 2010, 08:23 AM']Tony Franklin fretted. WoT had the fretless version for a very brief time I believe.[/quote] That'll be the one that is now all mine.

[/quote] No, Nigel's in good company: [quote]A few other things you may consider taking along with you to gigs are: a flashlight for working in the dark, sandpaper (coarse and fine grit), extra screws, pick holders that attach to your guitar, an amplifier cover, [b]and if you're a bassist, a pair of thin gloves (many bass players have told me its easier to play with gloves on)[/b].

Ill have to give that a shot. Smashing Aztec : yeah i'll have to try the glove thing too - does any one know any good kinds of glove for playing bass? if so please tell me ithilien046 : dont get gloves for playing bass, just build up better callouses, which you can do by playing more often. sure, the idea of using gloves to make it hurt your fingers less is a logical idea, but you can't get the same kind of nuances with gloves that you can with your fingers. just my opinion[/quote]

Got it. Just need an iPhone now.

Back then I was usually playing with 100-200 watts of valve power through four or eight 12" speakers. It was loud and the sound quality was poor. These days I'm more likely to be using 300-500 watts of solid state or perhaps valve front end through one or two 12" or 15" speakers. It's still loud but the sound quality is no longer poor. My ears hurt much much less.

Nice gloves though.

[quote name='silddx' post='855496' date='Jun 2 2010, 10:34 PM']Etienne wears them because he has massively acidic sweat and he kills his strings within the first three numbers of a set[/quote] Man, that's evil sweat. What happens to people who have sex with him in the summer months?

[quote name='Albi' post='855487' date='Jun 2 2010, 10:22 PM']The Johnston was available in Europe The Fiesta Red is worldwide I think. Don't mind if the "Shaguar" is a UK exclusive, since I'll be studying at the ICMP up-comming year. (I'm from Belgium)[/quote] I'd sort of taken 'UK only' to mean, in effect, 'Europe and not US' rather than literally UK only. I'm guessing, but the Biffy Clyro signatures were perhaps Europe only because Biffy Clyro are not well-known in the US. That wouldn't apply to a Squier Jaguar; so I'd find it hard to believe that all those US sales would be thrown away. Anyway, we'll find out soon enough.

[quote name='Jamesemt' post='855347' date='Jun 2 2010, 08:39 PM']Are you sure? He flogged me the active parts from his Precision Special as he said he was strictly a passive guy...[/quote] When I met up with Chris a few weeks ago he was definitely considering a P-retro. I don't know whether he actually got one.

[quote name='Albi' post='855476' date='Jun 2 2010, 10:13 PM']Then why would a Fender rep. suggest such a thing?[/quote] Maybe he or she is not as up to speed on forthcoming product as he or she ought to be - or maybe some parts of Fender don't know what other parts are doing. Was the Fender rep quoted as saying 'might' be UK only - so maybe they just don't know, and are explaining away why they don't know. Who knows?

[quote name='Albi' post='855470' date='Jun 2 2010, 10:08 PM']Were there other ones than? I know the James Johnston was a Western Europe exclusive, but that's the only domestic-related Squier I heard about...[/quote] That's the one I had in mind - and the Biffy Clyro guitarist's signature Strat, I believe. Are the fiesta red CV Precisions available in the US?

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='855469' date='Jun 2 2010, 10:08 PM']Soundclips sound really nice, especially the piezo sound. Still want the original Warwick Alien myself...[/quote] The piezo, especially, does sound nice. I'd like to hear the fretless with the La Bella Black Nylons.

[quote name='Albi' post='855459' date='Jun 2 2010, 10:01 PM']Someone on TB said that a Fender rep. told him this might be an UK-exclusive Squier![/quote] It wouldn't be the first UK only.

Clarky, it's got to be rosewood ... and change the pickup cover to black as well ... and is that a Badass? PS I am saving up for your Mesa 12" but I'm not holding out much hope just at the moment.

[quote name='alexharvay' post='854581' date='Jun 2 2010, 10:43 AM']Selling your Mesa walkabout = madness.[/quote] +1. He'll regret it.

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='854599' date='Jun 2 2010, 10:53 AM']Now should I buy one when they come out or wait till the flood of sales on here?[/quote] I'd advise waiting.
