[quote name='henry norton' post='605612' date='Sep 22 2009, 02:22 PM']Yeah I think the TV was basically a Junior but without the cherry finish, (too reflective for TV studios or something like that, hence the name).[/quote]

Wicked, I'll try and remeber that. I really like the colour.

[quote name='henry norton' post='605591' date='Sep 22 2009, 02:07 PM']That's the 'TV' model I think - just about the cheapest one they ever made (in the US of course). I'd have one [/quote]

It looks like the SG equivalent of a Les Paul Junior.
If it's anything like my LP Junior it'll be fantastic.

There was one on eBay a while back that was up for £600. As far as I can remember it didn't sell.

PM'd

It's a '91. I sold it in mid April and bought it back in mid June, regretted selling it. I'm sure the old for sale thread is till on the forum somewhere.

Bonfire night's just round the corner.

I know, the last Trace V-Type all valve head I saw on eBay sold for £600.

Again, I will recomend the [url="http://www.diago.co.uk/pedal-power/pedal-power/overview.html"]Diago[/url] (like many other, I'm very satisfied with it). Check out their [url="http://www.diago.co.uk/powerstation_compatibility.html"]compatability table here[/url] to see what all their different adaptors will and won't power. An expensive option I know but I'm glad I went for it.

Here's my Stingray. Picked it up in Andertons a few years ago second hand. I sold it earlier in the year on the forum but bought it back when the chance came up.

Spin Doctors - Two Princes gets me. Really simple song but I always go into the chorus early.

Really late reply: Nothing with elephant in the name. Nothing in mind at the moment, just wanted to have a play.

[quote name='skankdelvar' post='602251' date='Sep 18 2009, 02:52 PM']IIRC, the Coronado was designed by Roger Rossmeisl, the German guy behind Rickenbacker's 3-series (330 etc).[/quote]

I've read that somewhere too.

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='602211' date='Sep 18 2009, 01:42 PM']GAK. They were good enough to get it on sale or return from whoever the UK Mesa distributors are. They don't normally keep them in stock although they do have some Mesa stuff.[/quote]

Sweet, that's where I'll go then. I want to give the Orange bass terror a go as well before I fork out for one or the other.

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='594970' date='Sep 10 2009, 06:18 PM']I wasn't tempted enough by the price compared to what I played for non-display that was local and I could actually try first and easily take back for service if needs be.[/quote]

Which shop local to Brighton did you get it from?

Yes indeed. With the MXR pedals and Boss pedals the difference was small, my MXR phase 90 gained a slight volume boost, for example. But my Zvex WM became a completely different beast, most noticably a higher output, more bass, more fuzz. My Fulltone Bass Driver grew a pair (apparantly more so with the 18v adaptor) and my Animato just seemed to sing, so much sustain.

I haven't had any popping or crackling from the Diago power supply, it's been tip top. It's expensive but I'm really happy I got one. I was always a little worried that the EffectsPowerSupplies.com supply that I was using wasn't doing my pedals any good as well. i have complete confidence in the Diago.

I went from using the EffectsPowerSupplies.com Integrated 6-Way Daisy Chain to a Diago power supply and the difference it made really suprised me. The Diago power supply made all my pedals come to life.

The Integrated 6-Way Daisy Chain is a good cheaper option but given the choise I wouldn't go back.

Quoted from the eBay listing regarding the finish:

"The Wildwood finish is a bit of a rarity and it employed Fenders employees injecting dye into trees to get these grain pattern."

Just want to say I've bought from Darren before and he's a top guy.

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='600867' date='Sep 16 2009, 10:55 PM']Why do so many people want to play this over-rated piece of sh*t.[/quote]

I don't know the answer to either of these questions. I've played it in 2 bands, haven't struggled with the intro, don't see the attraction other than the punters generally love it.

[quote name='Deep Thought' post='598954' date='Sep 15 2009, 08:52 AM']but I'm stuffed if I can find anything via the red button. Where is it?[/quote]

May have been taken off the red button now. On freeview I think it's channel 302.

Might be worth looking [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=60077&hl="]here[/url], I can't remember if there's anything about his basses on that thread.

When do you leave for the States?

I think around 8bls is the magic munber for me too.
