  1. My eBay days are done. For me, BC for substantial / specialist stuff, FB for bits and bobs. Works a treat.
  2. They’ve got better logos 😄
  3. I get the feeling they were a little more honest with the specs than the competition...
  4. Absolutely. But in the meantime, people without context (including me, obviously) are LOLing at the NAMM headstock shot. Which seems a shame.
  5. My point is I'm amazed they've brought them to NAMM with such a terrible logo, rather than a nice one. People will look at it and think 'Dear me. That looks tat'. No, it probably won't doom the line line to failure, but why let that happen?
  6. It's not a massive issue - it just looks crap. This is NAMM, where you'd think everyone would want to look as sharp as possible. But maybe not.
  7. I could design a headstock logo that people wouldn't laugh at in less than four minutes, for 20 quid.
  8. Here's a MetroExpress headstock. I kid you not. (Pic pinched from NAMM thread on TB)
  9. They're utterly dreadful. They really need to stop.
  10. What Darryl plays on the verse here is broadly what I'm hearing on the original. Not just R5R5R5R5R5 (or 5R5R5R5R5R..)
  11. I suspect this chap carefully stuffed socks into his ears prior to working out the bass part.
  12. Unfortunately I can never hear past Ian Mosley's skittish shed building.
  13. 'Paint It, Black' Yours, A pedant
  14. Yep - I specified the neck profile and a non-raked headstock w/string tree for mine.
  15. Both great pickups. IME, the Haeussel P was a little more polite. The bridge pickup in my Sunburst (with the Haeussels) was a split-coil J, which sounded 'traditional PJ'. The Maruszczyk fat humbucker is a different beast entirely.. a high output punch monster.
  16. If they're the stock Maurszczyk pickups, you're in for a treat.
  17. Are any of those premium brands, that have introduced stuff retailing for less than 800 quid..?
  18. ...which seemed to be a surprise to Roger Sadowsky. Ha ha. This is a really odd development. Fact is, it's going to devalue the brand, but I guess Roger is planning his exit route.
  19. I'm seriously considering sticking an order in for another PJ. Something like this.
  20. Yep... in the cold light of Blu-Ray, The last few tours are for the hardcore only.
  21. This will not be news to many people. Here's Neil's take on it from 2012. Source.
  22. I'm devastated. Nothing more I can say.
  23. FWIW, your situation definitely isn’t unique.
