  1. This looks fab. If I wasn’t 250 miles away I’d take it!
  2. One of Janek’s favourite pedals and it’s 100% chaos. I have one!
  3. I think these vintage reissues are better than genuine vintage ones as playing instruments for gigging musicians. I spent 20 years playing my 66 jazz bass, but for the last 5 years have been playing one of the FSR USA models. Just beautifully made instruments.
  4. I’ve got an account there through my business and they messaged me and pushed it through. Guy told me it was because RM won’t take parcels over 2m.
  5. I can state with confidence now that this wasn’t an error.
  6. Flight case! (I got this for free and paid £10 for postage.) Come and collect! You’ll need to get foam cut to size. But that’s ideal as it’ll be box fresh then. It’s perfect for international touring or looking like Adam Clayton at your local pub gig. Currently stored in my garden shed in BS4 Bristol. You can find the dimensions of Flightcase Warehouse. It’s too cold for me to go out and measure it.
  7. Vintage guitar demand is (in large part) due to nostalgia. Assuming the Chinese probably don’t view the 60s and 70s as being the greatest time in the world for music and so will judge guitars on their merits rather than their potential proximity to a star.
  8. Sometimes the strings can drag the bridge forward. It’s worth checking the angle, especially if it was fine before. What lower tension strings are you using?
  9. You can trial this if you’d like. I haven’t use for it and it needs to go.
  10. I read that Fender makes more profit from the Squier lines than any of its US operations. I reckon the ratios are probably right in your post.
  11. I had a set of Animas ( sold them on here!). The de tuned sports are a different beast to normal orchestral strings. If you’re ever in Bristol give em a go.
  12. What kind of music are you playing and what sound do you want? For a deep, rich sound with a pliable string I found Spiro Solos de-tuned to Orchestral pitch are a great choice. I’ve used mine for over 100 gigs so far and they’ve been faultless.
  13. Admittedly that’s playing double bass, but I’ve found it easier as I’ve gotten older. Less need to follow fashion, and instead to indulge passion! I’ve also joined a Blue Note jazz band which has been a huge amount of fun.
  14. I joined a new band last year (at 43) and we’ve got 5 European trips planned next year, including a 3 week tour. Never stop!
  15. Weird the picture don’t show up - yes it does!
