Machines

Ok - I think the conclusion here is you'll have to try both and see which you prefer .

You'd be better off with [url="http://www.guitaremporium.co.uk"]http://www.guitaremporium.co.uk[/url] - Far East doesn't have a lot of stock.

Having played both i'd go for the Squier - felt a bit more solid and sounded nicer .

[quote name='Faithless' post='209077' date='May 29 2008, 06:06 PM']Hmm, quite an interesting interpretation - no 'double' voicing on acoustic part.. Though, the only weak thing there, as I've spotted, was your vocalist Was he drunk or somethin'? I'll get my coat...[/quote] He's the reason I left the band - he can't sing .

[quote name='99ster' post='209307' date='May 30 2008, 01:21 AM']I would love to - but not on a website like this. As it's not me that would get the legal hassle, but the guys that run the site.[/quote] Thanks for the consideration - and yes, please don't mention any names .

Wow, that'll never happen to me. The missus only like cheesy dance tunes, I could sit here and play Portrait of Tracy better than Jaco and she'd ask me to keep it down.

Hmm what other colours does it come in ? Looks pretty good, Squier are really upping their game.

Some very dodgy demo recordings here too: [url="http://www.myspace.com/shatteredage"]http://www.myspace.com/shatteredage[/url]

How so ?

Songs we covered in my old band: Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train Metallica - Master of Puppets Trivium - Entrance of the Conflagration Pantera - Cemetary Gates Pantera - Cowboys From Hell Megadeth - In My Darkest Hour Killswitch Engage - My Curse Dream Theater - Ytse Jam

I'm not a Fender fan, but do see them as pretty simple tools that don't really do anything wrong. I didn't buy my Jazz, I swapped for it. I doubt if i'd have had the cash i'd have bought it as there are better value 'copies' out there. The attraction of my Jazz to me is the predictable sounds I will get from it, I don't have to worry if it will fit in, it just will.

I really liked my 1980 Ibanez Musician MC900, sounded great and was really versatile - but it did have a maxed truss rod and the action was terrible. Still, did a straight swap for my resident Stingray so it's not all negative

As you stated originally is how I say it .

Musicman Stingray > [url="http://www.machinesofhate.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/LoMenzo.mp3"]Ashdown James LoMenzo Hyperdrive[/url] > Soundblaster Live 5.1

At home it's definitely a bit naff because I can't crank it. As soon as I can it's immense.. ABM with a bit of a mid and treble boost with the Stingray on full bass/treble = instant grin.

[url="http://www.myspace.com/shatteredage"]http://www.myspace.com/shatteredage[/url] Has been split for about 9 months now, site still unchanged .

Superb deal for someone..
