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.

Glad to hear it all turned out well in the end. Poor service from the first establishment though Good looking guitar.

Thanks chaps, will check out the suggestions.

Quite fancy getting myself a Looper pedal. Being a complete newbie some recommendations would be most appreciated. My preference would be for something of good quality and easy to use.

Very lush. I was working on a similar looking Balladeer for a customer yesterday, impressed with the quality but not so much with the dirt on the fret board.

[quote name='MWH' timestamp='1490709729' post='3267258'] As I don't deserve anything better due to lack of talent, I got this mint Nevada for seventy quid off the 'bay' and dropped the Emg's in with a new wiring harness. It's been proffesionley set up which cost more than the original price. [/quote] From the pic that looks great

Happy to recommend Chris as another one of the BC good guys. Deal with confidence.

Have a good one Jack. We've played there a fair bit. It's an unusual one for us, some nights they can't get enough of the rockier numbers but on some occasions the rock stuff has cleared the dance floor and they want Disco/Soul. Our last visit there a few months back was eventful. One of the drunken punters decided dancing with one of the bar stools was a sound move, he was swinging it around (which cleared the floor quicker than the rock numbers) another punter stepped in to stop him and it didn't end well. The drunk was fine of course but the other fella ended up with his leg facing in the wrong direction and a bone poking out of the flesh

Looks just right

Shall I close the thread then, so that nobody else gets a look in

I play fretless a lot at home but have yet to do so in public. Unless I join a different band that's not likely to change I'm still a relative newbie to fretless, I'm using an unlined f/b and really trying to get a feel for playing without looking at finger placement. It's beginning to pay off, intonation is improving and I'm enjoying it very much.

Great, cheers, pm incoming.

If it's still available could I have it? It's not to go on a project but to use as a template. Cheers, let me know what the postage is. All the best

That is rather good

This is why our band don't get involved with these sort of events, not saying we don't do our bit for charity, we do but just not the sort where the real winner is the Landlord.

I currently use a GK Fusion 500 with my SC, I'm very happy and GAS free.

Etienne was a pleasure to deal with. Great comms, paid when he said he would and no messing about. I'm very happy to recommend him as an all round top chap, one of the good guys.
