I worked as a Fender dealer for a time, Burgundy Mist and Penny are not very similar at all other than both being metallic colours. As others have said Penny is a copper colour.

https://aguilaramp.com/blogs/news/introducing-the-new-tone-hammer-and-ag-series-amplifiers I suppose it sort of alludes to IRs, without actually mentioning them. 😅

Weird, the press release I read made no mention of that at all!? But you are indeed right, on the product page it says exactly that.

The heads have just had a facelift (for the worse in my eyes), don’t think much different internally, so probably same happening for the pedal?

Been using my Capo for almost 2 years, wouldn’t gig without it. Whether you want to wait 20 weeks for one depends on your patience! 😀 The Noble has gone up the last couple of years but not gone up by 1k, it’s 1279USD currently, it was definitely never 279USD sadly.

Gear 4 Music pelican case rip off, been using it for a couple of years, safe as anything. https://www.gear4music.com/Recording-and-Computers/Heavy-Duty-Case-with-Pick-Foam-by-Gear4music-388-x-268-x-156mm/1ZC0?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=order-dispatch&utm_source=txn-email&utm_content=ord-line

Stomp doesn’t have XLR but the output can be run balanced, so a basic 1/4” to XLR adapter gets you FOH ready; personally I carry one of these cables as a backup but normally run on to a separate preamp/DI. I run my bass and synth through the Stomp.

Sandbergs might look more battered but they do attempt to make it look realistic, these just look someone was clumsy with an electric sander.

That site is indeed really useful, I used it a lot when I was trying to figure out the age of my own early 70s Jazz. It’s clearly not an exact science, mine has pots from late 73, is 4 bolt, with a case that came in in 74, long G bridge screw, I’ve just settled on somewhere around 73/74. 😅 The date that site gives for 3 bolts on a jazz is late 73.

There are early examples pre-74 with 3 bolt, and late examples post-74 with 4 bolt, but 74 was still the year when the majority became 3 bolt was it not?

71 it started being introduced on guitars, 74 was the main transition year from 4 to 3 for a Jazz.

Bought an OC2 from Ben, pleasure to deal with, item as described and posted quickly and well packaged. Thanks dude!

I’ve owned a few Calis, never had a whine. A bit of hiss/white noise for sure but not a whine.

Welcome to the club, it’s a brilliant bit of kit.

I get offered 80% off selling fees every other weekend (as in literally like clockwork), I thought everyone got them?!

Having owned one I can confirm two things. 1) Probably the best sounding amp I’ve ever used. 2) So heavy I couldn’t be bothered to lug it about. 😅

Done a handful of gigs with mine over the last 6 weeks, it’s a great pedal, I definitely prefer it to the V1. Although being the ridiculous gear idiot I am, I’ve just bought a big box to compare and scratch the itch of “does it really sound better?”, first impression after a quick play was a hmmm, I dunno? It’s definitely bigger though. 😂

I think that sounds decent, I’m in a busy function band and we charge a fair bit more than that for a normal gig but for a direct venue booking for a short set with PA provided we’d look at that. £400 would have been crazy low though.

Sounds fairly sensible to me, did you have to provide PA/lights or was that in-house?

Congrats on getting the gig. To assist others who might find themselves in the same situation you were in, what did you end up charging?

The pitch could be shifting but then the string could get momentarily stuck causing the snap.
