[quote name='colgraff' timestamp='1450813212' post='2936151'] I have been pondering the media's persistent belief that working class bands have more legitimacy than those of other classes, [/quote] One of many conceits that exist around popular music. Another is the idea that rock is more 'authentic' than pop; or that only artists writing their own material have anything worthwhile to say.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1450716265' post='2935162'] One of those has already been done ...

It is frequently mispronounced, and consequently mis-spelled.

[url="http://worldguitars.co.uk"]World Guitars[/url] in Stonehouse. I spent thousands in there! Sadly the proprietor Jeff passed away a few weeks ago, I just hope the shop continues in the same vein.

Ok enough is enough, can we all stop posting in this thread. Oh wait...

Ah the Boomerang bridge. You don't see many around - owners succumb to the temptation to throw it like a boomerang, and it inevitably comes back, strikes them on the head, and kills them. You have been warned!

That's falcon excellent!

[quote name='Number6' timestamp='1450572932' post='2934050'] Surely it's only embarrassing if it keeps getting bumped and others see it? Hehehe [/quote] Why would anyone do that? The poor guy must be mortified!

No first-hand experience but seen them discussed on a couple of guitar forums that I frequent and rarely (if ever) seen any serious negative comment. I did seriously consider that very same 20W head, but bought a more widely known head, used, from a friend.

If you're going to be modding, get one that has full-size components, not surface-mount!

The jam from about 21.10 gets very 'jazz club' in parts!

Marshall or Blackstar might be the place to start.

Toyed with getting one of these, but plumped for the cheap-as-chips Blackstar Fly 3.

Not a name I've heard before - let us know how you get on, with a NAD thread.

At least a pickguard is not hideously difficult or expensive to replace.

[quote name='ians' timestamp='1450430255' post='2932638'] You mean these can be ordered in different colours,I had no idea. By the way..how much harder is it to play that wider neck than the 70's width. [/quote] Fender have some kind of special-order facility, but iirc it got some stick on here for being crap. What I had in mind is the one-offs and dealer special orders that come up now and then - for example, I have a CS '59 'transition' Strat that was made to the spec of the shop owner's original '59. As regards neck width - it is no harder to play, just different to what I had become used to. I think it would only pose a problem if you had poor technique, e.g. hooking the thumb of your fretting hand over the top of the neck.

Nice clear mixes, great bass sound.

NYE still available.

Spot on.

[quote name='Alec' timestamp='1450358880' post='2931993'] I'd accept a compromised sound for the convenience of a lighter pack. Fortunately I don't have to, as I now have lighter and better - result! [/quote] This.
