I actively sought a demotion in my last school because I enjoy teaching, not what the job becomes as you're promoted 'up the ladder'. Schools are a great model for how there's little recognition to people doing their jibs well regardless of the level of the ladder they're on. You either turn into a reluctant manager of people often twice your age and experience or you quit.

Bump - will take offers -
[quote name='hubrad' timestamp='1454419580' post='2969535'] I just spoke to Roland UK, who confirmed the VB-99 to be discontinued. Sadly nothing in the pipeline, so the best current one is the GR-55 and GK-3b. On another note, I've just been having some fun with the VB-99 as an effects unit - bass pugged in as normal rather than 13-pin into the modelling side. Excellent quality in there, esp. the modulation part of things, where you can use 3 different modulations in series (should you wish!). Onwards and upwards! [/quote] Indeed, I'm hoping to get a guitar and rather than get a VG99 right away, use the VB99 with the standard jack. I've been delving into the synths more and more and the flexibility is quite daunting, I spent literally a whole day customising a square wave filter. One of the best days ever. I'll post some clips ASAP as I'm 99% sure now that my main settings (clean, jazz, precision, stingray, stink synth) are sorted.

Bump and reduction to £220 for a BCer. ped
-
Hm I would rather like a red one with maple neck... Also tempted with a 'Roland Ready' one as I'm a real Vbass/Vguitar fan. The idea was always to install the GK system to the guitar I buy. I've asked more about the Vigier guitar linked above...

Hi guys I've had this amp for years and years - can't remember where or how I got it but it's always been very good. I drive it using my V-bass unit and it powers two cabs very well indeed (used to have it hooked up to a pair of SWR cabs in stereo) Not really sure how much to ask but £250 seems about right. It's been very reliable and has been gigged and used at home a fair bit, however it's in great condition. I'll throw in a pair of speakon to 1/4" jack leads with it. Postage included but probably better collected from York or sometimes Oxford area Cheers ped

Hi guys It's a bit dusty but works perfectly and comes with PSU Postage included or collection from York, might even make you a regular sized cup of tea Cheers [attachment=211229:IMG_9283.JPG] [attachment=211230:IMG_9284.JPG] EDIT please note actual mixer is not upside down -

One day I want one of these but the series II model with full carbon neck, to match my bass https://www.zikinf.com/annonces/dispannonce.php?annonce=1247281 Kind of feel I should work my way up to one though
-
[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1454277068' post='2968235'] That strikes me as a bit of a gamble. You'd probably be better off with one you could try before parting with any dosh. [/quote] Indeed, however buying a Vigier will definitely be a buy before I try job. Think I will go and try some 'strats' in town before going any further.

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1454264856' post='2968040'] Quality was very hit & miss in the early 80s. How much are you paying for it? Chances are you could get a much better Strat for less money. I'm not sure but I think that particular model Strat might one of the Special versions, like the Precision Special that was released in 1980/81 with the active circuit. Just had another search around online & the body & hardware looks very much like the model that was released in 1980 as "The Strat". These had matching painted headstocks though so there is a chance that the neck is from a different guitar. [/quote] Sorry missed this. It'll work out about £700 I think.

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1454266211' post='2968066'] Any reason why you're looking at this particular guitar Ped? [/quote] Well ideally I'd like a Vigier Passion guitar, carbon neck thru, but as I'm not very good on the guitar (yet, lol) I wondered if I had better start with something more conventional. And I liked the idea of the super strat having the extra pickup switch options and hotter pickups. Quite fond of the colour and general look of this one too. But yes open to other thoughts as I'm looking with my eyes rather than my brain!

[quote name='backwater' timestamp='1454265661' post='2968054'] That bridge and gold hardware were used on "The Strat" in the early 80s but it only came with a painted, slightly odd-shaped headstock. [url="http://www.guitarsplus.com.au/fender-strat"]http://www.guitarspl...au/fender-strat[/url] The neck looks more like a 57 reissue neck with the early logo, single string guide, nickel/chrome vintage tuners (I would expect the tuners to be gold to match the rest of the hardware) and body-end truss rod adjustment. Might be a bitsa? Andy [/quote] Thanks Andy you posted as I was typing!

[quote name='3below' timestamp='1454265435' post='2968050'] Might be one of these [url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_STRAT"]https://en.wikipedia.../wiki/The_STRAT[/url] More info and helpful pics [url="http://www.guitar-list.com/fender/electric-guitars/fender-strat-cbs-models-1980-83"]http://www.guitar-li...-models-1980-83[/url] I have x3 late 80s early 90s USA standards (Strats / Tele) and they are all very good in terms of fit and finish, one is an outstanding guitar to play, one is good and the other is just ok (somehow it does not inspire me). [/quote] Interesting, thanks. It does appear similar but the headstock isn't matching and it doesn't say 'Strat' on it. Perhaps it was one of the parts bin ones...

Hi guys I'm no Fender expert by any measure so wondered if someone more knowledgeable could give me some info on this Strat. Looks like it has a different bridge, possibly top loading. I'm thinking about buying it so what should I be asking the seller, anything in particular to check? He's French so keep it simple. I'm not after anything special, just rather like the look of this one but I hear QC was iffy in the 80s? Guessing this is an American strat?

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1454171213' post='2967230'] Christopher, dear, low tension strings are not cool. Use your eyes! [/quote] Low tension, like me! And my mum says I'm cool
-
Hi, no probs I have made a thread about it in the effects forum, and I plan on posting some sound clips soon!
-
I like a paddle shaped headstock, pickups with a ramp, preferably active electronics and I like gadgets too so something innovative excites me. Although I don't really like the look of fanned frets. Sonically I like a well defined clear sound with a bit of top end clank and a crisp slap sound. Low tension strings.

Bump for a cool bit of kit

Lovely thing and what a cool colour. Good luck
