KingBollock Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I got my Peavey T-Max 500 from a CashConverters for the same price. I know which I'd prefer. I'm not a Behringer hater, I have some of their kit that I have had no problems with and enjoy using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjay69 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 i often use a Behringer amp at the studio we rehearse at if i can't get my own amp there, combined with a Marshall 4x12 it can sound flippin awesome somedays, i've often thought sometimes i'll just get one of these a a backup. Nice and easy to use, great range of sounds, decent shape filter, good rock tone, all in all a good back up. Not the same as the one in the add though but this one [url="http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/BX4500H.aspx"]http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/BX4500H.aspx[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slipperydick Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Only ever bought 2 things from Cash Converters, both were faulty, and the service they offered was a joke. Even if it doesnt work at all, its only faulty if their 'Engineer' says so, but he's cant look for at least 10 days etc. I just wouldnt want to give em my money a 3rd time. Course, thats only my personal view, and one branch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 This 1975 thinline tele they're selling looks like a ringer to me [url="http://www.cashconverters.co.uk/auction-item/407151/fender-telecaster-thinline-guitar-with-stagg-hard-case"]http://www.cashconverters.co.uk/auction-item/407151/fender-telecaster-thinline-guitar-with-stagg-hard-case[/url] No bullet truss rod adjuster Incorrect pickguard outline gibson sized hubuckers rather than fender ones which would be larger 4 bold neckplate rather than 3 bold microtilt neckplate join between the layers of the body should be close to the back, but in the photo it looks central one big weird string retainer on back instead of six small metal ones 'F' hole looks possibly too wide The body shape looks wrong - real 70s teles have a squarer-looking top bout as it was cheaper to cut them out without the deeper curve that Leo designed and was reinstated in reissues. This appears to have the non-70s shape which joins about one fret higher. I've emailed & told them - would be interesting to see whether this promps them to do some research into the spec beyond looking up a non-original serial number.

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 [quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1324671379' post='1477003'] Is it just me or is there something very odd with the headstock. Can't quite put my finger on it. [/quote] I think the bulb on the end may be skewed/not quite round enough as well as looking far too new, having the wrong truss rod adjustement and an incorrect logo decal Below is what a real one looks like (well, a '72 - but close enough to a '75) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
