Wouldn't it be easier to go for a finance option other than a credit card? I mean, if the facility is available? I just tend to shudder whenever I hear of credit cards, I've had them in the past and got myself into a whole heap of trouble! But I guess if you can be disciplined, then hey. I personally would feel a lot more comfortable with a fixed finance deal, and some stores offer a 0% facility, but, like I say, all depends on whether the dealer you are using offers it!

Now then folks! I've recently acquired a Nathan East NE-1 EQ (magic box) in a trade and I'm just wondering if anybody has any idea how much it's worth? I've had a look on evilbay and there's one for £130, but this doesn't seem like a good comparison! I'm guessing its pretty rare, but it would be nice to know! Cheers!

This is a really interesting topic and one which I have thought about many times! So much so, that I went out and bought a Modern Player Jazz (complete with Fender badge) and I know it is in no way representative of the higher end USA Jazz Basses, but I thought it was important to me to own a 'Fender'! Now I tried everything with this bass, different pre amps, amps, leads, strings - and I decided it sounded absolutely awful. During the time of me owning this bass, I traded my much loved Squier VM Jazz for a Tokai Thunderbird which was subsequently, also awful (in my opinion) - luckily enough, I mananged to re-acquire my VM Jazz in another trade - plugged it in and it sounded wonderful! But I know what people mean when they agonise over the badge on their bass, but I've decided I don't care! To me if it sounds good, plays good and looks good - then it is good. I personally can't afford, in my current position of new Dad, first time buyer, to be spending money on USA Jazz Basses or top end Yamaha's! I'd like to think that one day I will own one of these, but if that never happens, I won't be sad, I'll just look at my trusty Squier and think about all the adventures we've had! So don't worry about it - because I reckon, these gear police folk don't really know what they banging on about - because if they did, they'd know that although your bass doesn't say USA, they'd still know that the Squier VM/CV range, still represents some of the best value for money basses out there..... for me anyway.

Tim is a Stirling fella to deal with, quick payment for my bh250, exactly as promised. Do swaps, trades and buy from Tim with absolute confidence! Cheers man!
