  1. This is so nice. I just bought the non X version in the same colour. It's fab.
  2. Where are you Ian? We might be able to come to an arrangement postage wise if you are interested. Cheers Geoff

  4. [quote name='Jus Lukin' timestamp='1366639885' post='2055276'] Ear plugs, nose clip, blow hard enough into her mouth and... POP! [/quote] Trust me I'm a doctor.....
  5. [quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1366630013' post='2055012'] He could even be a woman now. It was 6 years ago... [/quote] Is that how long it takes these days? How things have moved on......
  6. Recommended by me. Used them several times and always good service. Their returns process is very good too, should you need it. Cheers Geoff
  7. It's a date - see you back here in 2019 :-)
  8. [quote name='joe.staffs' timestamp='1366283087' post='2050433'] Bargain of the century! [/quote] Yeah indeed. Strange times at the moment....
  9. [quote name='Horizontalste' timestamp='1366054430' post='2047855'] I'm sure there's some law somewhere saying you have to show us pictures!!!!! [/quote] Damn I've been sussed lol. Indeed, I will attempt some once the rugrats, sorry I meant darling little ones, are locked away in the cupboard under the stairs - oops sorry I meant tucked up in bed... Edit: Looks like time has overtaken me once again, will try again tomorrow.
  10. Slight update to my previous post from last week. As much as I am loving my new BB1024, I took it back to GAK today to change it... for a different colour. I'd tried both the Vintage White and Caramel Brown - the latter I liked much more than I thought I would, it looks so much nicer, classy even, in the flesh than on a laptop screen. The 1024 is offered in four colours - Vintage White, Caramel Brown, Black and Sunburst. I'm not really into Sunburst that much and I'm after a change from Black. It was a really difficult choice between those two colours last week, but over the past few days I realised that white isn't for me. GAK were brilliant, no problems at all swapping it. So, now I have a rather suntanned 1024! Cheers Geoff
  11. [quote name='cocco' timestamp='1365879439' post='2045623'] Good god that's a 4 pinter. [/quote] Indeed. And I think the design team drank a whole lot more than that before they came up with this one.
  12. If the TRBX plays and sounds as good as the looks and specs, Yamaha have really pulled one out of the bag. And at that price? Blimey.
  13. ABBA Gold Now That's What I call Music '83 Black Stone Cherry - Devil & Deep Blue Sea one belongs to the wife, one to the kids, the other is mine. Not saying which are who's though lol.
  14. [quote name='Kevin Dean' timestamp='1365690547' post='2042984'] The super Twelve . [/quote] Job done then on the cab front - good choice. Now for the amp.....
  15. [quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1365693816' post='2043071'] nice ! How does it compare to your BB414 in tone (or any other way you care to mention) ? [/quote] Well it's early days and I need to live with it for a while before making any detailed comparison. However, I have to say the build is sublime. The neck does feel very slightly deeper front to back than the 414 - but it's the same width, which is perfect for me. The fret work is delightful, and open strings ring like a piano which I assume is due to the nickel-silver nut being the same as the fret wire. The action is nice and low without any buzzing. Pickups are just as loud as the 414, but richer in tone and harmonics I feel. But then again that could well be down to the sum of the parts, not just the pups. One thing I have noticed is much less single coil hum from the J, not that it bothers me either way. Weight and balance are just as good as the 414 - in other words 'very easy' and 'perfect' respectively. When I've had some more playing time I will try and put my thoughts into better words for you. I only discovered the BBs late last year, and just I wish it had been sooner. Cheers Geoff
  16. Yep the Chocolate Orange Such a thing of beauty: delicious and enjoyable at the same time (Like you really needed that bump lol)
