That is certainly a looker

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1492471982' post='3280593'] I really like the look of these, really nice guitar. [/quote] It really is. Even though I'm not very good on the guitar, I have to pick this up and play it every day.

Unlined for me but then I am only playing fretless at home for my own enjoyment. If I was going to be gigging anytime soon on fretless, I would need lines and very obvious ones at that

This has to be one of the most surprising requests on Bass Chat yet Good luck, hope you get some help. Morris dancers unnerve me somewhat, so I'm out

[quote name='No. 8 Wire' timestamp='1492192535' post='3278635'] Gary, thanks, that's very reassuring. I think an Epiphone is likely as they come up often close to me, just haven't sussed all the different spec levels yet. [/quote] Just check the fret ends and also look out for high frets. Meant to say earlier, the electrics are where they make some obvious cost cutting, the selector switch being particularly prone to failure. Not a difficult job to replace but none the less, something to be aware of. Is the guitar shop in Ventnor still in business?

I've worked on a few Epiphone's and haven't yet encountered a bad one. A bit of fret levelling seems to be required, other than that a decent set up and they are very playable.

At home I'm playing fretless more than fretted and really enjoying it these days.

[/quote] What I meant was, I don't want to have to persevere with a business, nowt to do with location/distance. Also not aimed at BD, just a general observation.

[quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1492168729' post='3278422'] I suggest perseverance.. [/quote] Not top of my list when I want to purchase from a business.

Have you played the Jazz through a gigging rig or just a little practice amp?

Cheers Paul will check that out.

It's time for me to replace my vintage multimeter with something up to date and digital. I'm not looking for top of the range as it's not something I use every day. But I do like to buy decent quality that is reliable and user friendly. Recommendations would be much appreciated.

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1491215486' post='3271216'] I think it helps to know how you think you are going to use it. Some will quantise the loop length so they stay in time with a tempo, others (Ditto)don't, so it's a lot harder to get the end of the loop spot on to a tempo "grid". With practice it does get a bit better, but I often find the little nudge in tempo at the end of a loop can be off-putting. *disclaimer* I've only ever used the Ditto. The actual sound quality is good though, and is true bypass, so won't impair your tone when not active. [/quote][quote name='blank20' timestamp='1491324825' post='3272153'] This one is amazing. [url="https://musicsquare.co.uk/162504_Mooer-Micro-Looper-guitar-effect.html"]https://musicsquare....tar-effect.html[/url] 30min for this price is just great. I can recommend You also this [url="https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/DittoLooper"]https://www.sweetwat...ail/DittoLooper[/url] [/quote] Thanks for the posts, I'm checking out the reccomendations and doing some research.

[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1491502140' post='3273606'] HMMM very disappointed with you Gary lol but seriously it looks nice hope your keeping well mate [/quote] Sorry to be such a let down mate.

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1491477747' post='3273326'] ^^^ What is it? [/quote] As Naetharu said, it's a G&L Fallout. Tribute model.

I got this a few weeks back, such a good quality guitar for not much dosh. I wonder how much better the U.S. built versions are. Anyway, it's great, plenty of tonal options, comfortable to play and to me, a pleasing design. [url="https://flic.kr/p/SjAUTo"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/SnhsQP"][/url]

[quote name='Sammers' timestamp='1490777817' post='3267806'] Got my first guitar a few weeks ago, wanted 1 for a few years now and after a backdated pay bump at work I thought I'd treat it as a belated birthday present to myself It's an '09 Gibson SG Standard, the dealer who sold it to me told me that it'd had never been played as the guy who brought it originally didn't play guitar and only used it to pose for a few photos as his missus was a photographer. It's been sat under a bed unused and unplayed since, it even came with the pickguard film still on! Took a bit of getting used to coming from a 35" 5 String with 19mm spacing but having a lot of fun with it [/quote] Very handsome. I installed a Dimarzio bridge pup in one of these a few weeks back, made it sound even more awesome than it already was

Very sad. Thinking of him and his family

I use a Fusion 500 with a BB2, playing pubs, clubs, wedding venues etc. It is most certainly loud enough and the very versatile eq has made achieving a great sound in all sorts of venues, very easy. No plans to change it

That's a fine looking collection Rich.

Great job, voted

[quote name='Saved' timestamp='1491129707' post='3270658'] I would set the truss rod in "dead position".Staight in the midle.No bow no underbow [/quote] I tend to do the same if leaving an instrument without strings for any length of time.

Impressive looking bass, hope you enjoy.
