"Rare" doesn't always mean that it's worth having. Somethings are rare because they were shite and nobody bought them.

There's a seller of straps on eBay who sells his as "unique" but also states "25 sold, 15 available".... Clearly "unique" means something different down under.

Gimme some - Brendon (remember this??)

Many of my friends thought "American Woman" by Guess Who was a LZ track. How many people thought that "Hey little girl" by Icehouse was Japan/ Roxy Music when they first heard it. Not necessarily a rip off as a "sounds like". We had a similar problem with a band I played in years ago - lots of comments about "sounding like" INXS.

Get down - Gilbert O' Sullivan

Start me up - The Stones

Apparently their Mum made Gary let Martin in the band....

Beggar and Co - formed from members of Light of the World

I thought that I'd posted photos of the new Performer. Well here you go...

I'm sure that it's a great bass - would have been better in green 🤔🤔 Not a lover of red basses.

Burning Love - Elvis

@AndyTravis will suddenly get sick and have to take a day off work later this week...

No Limit - 2 Unlimited

Give me back my heart - Dollar

Close the door - Teddy Pendergrass

I've used Sanctuary Studios before - studio 2 is a very nice room with an Ashdown combo IIRC. I haven't used it but there has been some positive feedback about the recently updated studio in St Albans (near the printers).

Imagine - John L

There's a rehearsal space in Stevenage Old Town, just up the road from CODA Music. Post your details on their board. I've sent you a PM.

I used to have that wallpaper in a previous flat...

I recently discovered his videos... The boy can play...

I congratulate you on narrowing it down to M -v- Fender. There are so many great brands out there currently that it's a nightmare choosing what to go with. To muddy the waters for you, have you considered G&L, Spector, Lakland and Yamaha? I've owned one or more of each and all have been excellent bits of gear - I'd be hard pushed to own just one.
