  1. [quote name='bumnote' post='1334121' date='Aug 9 2011, 08:27 PM']the fiesta red not salmon pink looks great black is so booring [/quote] Like your Tokai I suppose!
  2. Very pretty. I have a PRS to trade? Mint and unmarked with PRS case and original swing tags etc? LC BTW, I was dragged up in Saarfend..!
  3. I've got rid of more expensive basses than my '96 50th anniversary Squier P. These Korean made instruments are just the dogz. I regularly go for the Squier in favour of my US standard. I think that says it all. LC
  4. I rehearse in the music box, where I think the last planned bash was to be held. I'd be up for it. Gear as per my profile. Cheers, LC BTW, for all South Wales dudes, good feature on Funeral for a Friend in this months Bass Guitar Mag.
  5. This is the only colour combo in this model I'd have. The others (especially, the salmon pink one) bring a little bit of sick to my mouth! These have a great rep and this one is a bit of a bargain, Good luck, it really ought to go at this price, LC
  6. I've just given in the my PRS GAS and bought a CE22 2006 build but largely unplayed since then. Dragon II Humbuckers, locking tuners in Mahogany cherry burst, original hard case and all the tags. Not in the same league as your McCarty but a nice US model none the less. I'm loving it.... LC
  7. I'd suggest trying it out first. You'll soon go off the colour if it plays like plank!
  8. I haven't had any experience of an Affinity, but I have had a VMJ, quite nice, good build quality, decent pick ups a good all round bass. Sometime ago I bought from here a Samick built 50th Anniversary P bass for not much dosh at all. It's been set up properly, new strings and jack socket and I can't put it down. I even took it to rehearsal last week instead of my US standard. It's a very personal thing this. I would suggest playing lots of basses, even of the same type/model and you will find one that has that elusive 'something' that makes it feel just right in the hands. Go tyre kick and have fun! LC
  9. I've got this Amp with 4x10 and 2x10 cabs. It's a good bit of kit, plenty loud and with a wide range of sounds. The tube preset is fairly convincing however, the distortion is a bit pants. I'm really happy with mine and I paid a lot more than this. A bargain I'd say. Good luck, LC
  10. These are pretty nifty. I used one as a stop gap for a while and it easily stood up to our lead guitarists Fender twin reverb. Fairly loud for a little thing! Good luck, LC
  11. I don't suppose you'd fancy a trade with a Yamaha TRB 1004? It's a 2006 maple quilt top active electronics 35" scale and very nice indeed. No marks or dings, bought off here a short while ago for what you are asking for your Tele. They are a little short of £800 new. Cheers, LC
  12. As a 'cellist myself I appreciate the Thomas Beecham quote! I also remember playing for Vilem Tausky - conductor of the Carl Rosa Opera, many years ago when he leaned over to the Cello section and told us that we were "grovelling like 'verms'". Towards the end of his life (he lived until he was 91), when he was still conducting us he got very short sighted. At a particularly warm rehearsal in Harlech he asked would the chap in the red jumper please open the fire doors to let some air in. He was unfortunately talking to a fire extinguisher! He was, for all that, a true gentleman and a pleasure to play for. Thanks for the link, LC
  13. Both these guitars are the dogs whatsits, but I guess I'll have to make do with my PRS copy! Good Luck! LC
  14. Bloody hell, is this still here? Someone take it off his hands, he's a good bloke to deal with. Some time soon huh Ben? Cheers Matey, LC
  15. Where's Lozz....He loves these! Nice looking thing, a much better colour than the salmon pink or 'custard cream' coloured ones! Good luck, LC
  16. If only I could get on with Jazz necks! Bargain I'd say... Good luck LC
  17. I have the 4 string version, great guitars, feel solid, active electronics work well, fast neck. Build quality not up to Jap standards (slight gaps around the fret markers), but for the money well worth it. Especially 2nd hand. These were just under a grand new. Don't hesitate, you'll love it! LC
  18. Hi Mike, I played an Epiphone Allen Woody Rumblekat not so long ago. Really impressed with it. They were circa £350 new so there should be a few good used examples for £200 or less. LC
  19. That's really quite nice. I have an old czech student viola that I stripped the horrid sunburst off and finished it in some shellac. Looks much better now. Good luck with the sale, LC
  20. Three piece, guitar, bass and drums plus female singer: Crossroads - John Mayer version Merry go round - Fleetwood Mac Heart beat like a hammer - Fleetwood Mac Let it be - Beatles Make me smile - Steve Harley Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams Money - Pink Floyd Ain't no love in the heart of the city - Whitesnake Knocking on heavens door - Eric Clapton A bit of variety here but they all work really well...
