  1. Sold a pedal to aTomas, great communication and totally reliable. Perfect buyer. Thanks mate.
  2. Do Fender do beans? Marshall do (or did) phones so anything is possible. If they do would each bean have a waterslide transfer?
  3. I paid £300 for mine earlier this year and very impressed with it at that money, The amp isn’t great but you wouldn’t expect it to be for the cost of it. I wouldn’t pay full price but the £375 is a very good deal for any9ne genuinely wanting one.
  4. Still on eBay for £370+ if anyone is mad enough.
  5. I wonder how many will take up the £375? A great price but my guess will be around the zero takers mark.
  6. Brilliant! Thanks mate, that confirms it now.
  7. Just Google Yodel and look at the reviews. Would I chance Yodel? Well put it this way, I was looking at buying something for the father in law for a tenner and didn’t purely because the online shop used Yodel.
  8. Then they should have the decency to refund immediately, pretty poor otherwise.
  9. When I started I managed to blister a couple of fingers, it was down to two things 1, playing an awful lot on virgin fingers (they can’t cope with going from nothing to 3-4 hours a day as I tried in the first week) 2, digging in far too much when I got enthusiastic. It took a while to understand the benefits of playing light and letting the amp do the work bit itbreally is like night and day and will help no end with your tone.
  10. So have they refunded people yet? Poor if they haven’t. Mistakes happen but they need to sort people out when they do.
  11. It’s been pulled now, have they spotted it or sold out?
  12. If you can get it at that price it’s the bargain of the century. I have one I bought off a mate to mess about on and it’s great, better strings as mentioned would be worth investing but I paid £300 on mine and thought that was a really good price. Sadly I think anyone who orders one will get an email saying it’s a mistake shortly after, but if don’t try you don’t get.
  13. Nope, I couldn’t get one I liked on mine, noe using a spectracomp which is great.
  14. Does seem odd, perhaps some rehearsal room closing?
  15. Six this year, fairly well spread and all good in their own way. A charity gig we did in September and which raised nearly £2k for Wellchild was the highlight I think. Sell out crowd and a good night all round.
  16. Did a repeat of my first gig yesterday, same works place, mostly the same crowd I think and same result - it was a blast. I was much more confident than this time last year but no surprise as have a good few gigs under my belt now. The set went down well and everyone went home happy. We were asked to carry on playing, much like last year, and did as we were enjoying ourselves so much. This seems to be becoming an annual event and we are pencilled in for next year already. Nothing now until the back end of January.
  17. Great pedal and that is a superb price.
  18. And me earlier, it also said stock number 0 so I assumed it had sold.
  19. It’s a strange one by Ibanez, there is an entry level Gio at work and it has decent looking metal knobs. Nothing special,but they don’t look cheap either.

    This, thanks to Morrison’s:
  21. Not music related but I have had a few significant electronics projects made in recent years (I was designing and building electric cars for an endurance series). I found there are three types of electronics engineers, 1, good and reliable, 2, good and unreliable, 3 useless on all fronts. 2 and 3 outnumber 1 by at least 10 to 1 if not 100 to 1. Even with a very defined end point and most of the board designed (it needed specific style of voltage transformer adding) it was a nightmare getting anyone to quote. It was a fair bit more complex than a pedal to be fair but two prototypes on hand etched boards were just short of £1000 to get to useable point. Final boards came in at £280 for design and set up costs and £5 a board thereafter for small batch run. I think the £280 was only that low as the company was very interested in the project and saw it as a toe in for a different sales area. if you can do some of the development costs you will save yourself a packet. If we had needed someone to design the whole PMT board as well then cost could have been £5000-10000, but you are looking a level of complexity similar to an amp I guess.
  22. I would think you could have some redress againts the organisers if you are injured or your kit damaged. Not an area I have any experience in but I bet a few on here will have. I don’t go out on the big dos at work because of one guy who always tries to start fights with random strangers when he has a few. Some people are just idiots.
  23. Hard to handle, Black Crowes/ Otis Redding always goes down very well for us, as does Alive, Pearl Jam. We run those two with she sells sanctuary at the end of a set and it’s a great way to finish.
