  1. My favourite fuzz pedals are the 3Leaf You're Doom and the Wren and Cuff Tall Font Russian. The 3Leaf is on the bass board. The TFR is going to be on my guitar board when I put it together. It can be smooth or grungy as holy hell on guitar and I <3 it.
  2. [quote name='skej21' timestamp='1392242604' post='2366477'] All my dealings with them have been nothing short of perfect. However, I did feel a little self-conscious when I went into the Newcastle branch recently to try the Aguilar Tone Hammer 500 and there was ZERO background music and as soon as I started playing, I was VERY aware that the staff and customers who were about were all listening in. Slightly awkward but a minor niggle IMO and only my view. Others might like that kind of atmosphere! [/quote] That can definitely be a positive or a negative. I dunno if that's better than trying to hear yourself over teenagers playing sloppy metal riffs through cranked amps....
  3. Sonic Research Turbo Tuner is my favourite. I will say I was taken aback today after tuning my Stingray with a Snark and then checking it with the Turbo Tuner. The Snark is a surprisingly accurate, cheap solution.
  4. I believe the gentleman I spoke to was called Richard, by the way.
  5. Hi guys. I recently made an order for a few bits and bobs from GuitarGuitar. I've bought things from them in the past and they delivered. Well this time one of my items was wrong; I'd ordered a 5ft Planet Waves lead for home practice. Instead of that I received a pack of three 6-inch Planet Waves patch leads. So I called them up that day and explained the situation. They were more than happy to send the cable to me by next-day courier and told me they'd call me back regarding the patch leads. Five minutes later I received a phone call. They said that I was welcome to keep the patch leads as the mistake shouldn't have happened in the first place They were very friendly, apologetic and more than willing to ensure that they could provide the best service possible to the point that I decided to make this thread. Their attitude was better than some unnamed British music shops and I'll be continuing to purchase from them in the future That's all, folks!
  6. That's amazing. Thanks for the link!
  7. Played-in D'addario Chomes in the gauges of 40-60-80-100. These recently came off a Rickenbacker 4003 so they're cut for a 2+2 headstock. I'm after [s]£15[/s] [b]£10[/b] posted Cheers, Bob
  8. Bumping!
  9. Would love to be there. In fact, I'd love to check out one of your gigs sometime! Love that dirty rock and roll.
  10. Nice collection, by the way, especially the Les Paul
  11. Welcome to the forum
  12. Are you interested in any trades?
  13. Bump with price reduction.
  14. I don't know what knobs they are but I'm pretty sure they're the same as on the older Boss pedals. I got a pack of six from eBay a few years ago.... Gaz, I know! It's a great pedal but I just don't have a use for it and I really need the money after making some poorly timed purchases
  15. I'm selling my Xotic BB Bass preamp as it's not getting much use these days. It's a great little overdrive that can warm up a sterile rig and add some much needed girth for when your guitarists drop out to solo. I used it for this purpose for a good while. It's in excellent condition with velcro on the bottom. I replaced the stock knobs as they're as useful as a chocolate teapot on a dark stage. I can dig them out if you need them but these knobs are a significant improvement for practical use. I'm after [s][b]£120[/b][/s][b] [s]£110[/s] £100[/b] posted.

  16. Hi guys, I've got a set of Gibson 500T and 496R humbuckers. These came out of a 67 reissue Flying V shortly after purchase as they're a bit hot for my tastes. They're ceramic, high gain pickups. If you're into hard rock or metal these will get the job done. You can roll down the volume to clean them up but they definitely excel at the high-gain gig.

    Just got this back after having a full clean-up, setup, entirely new wiring and pickups and some locking Sperzels. Sounds absolutely lovely: [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/BigBassBob/media/2014-02-04190330.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/BigBassBob/2014-02-04190330.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
