It means you use whatever amp basically as a power amp, and you use your pedal board for the tone shaping. Means that you'll sound moreor less the same at every gig (which for me is a good thing). [/quote] Same for me. Also my sound these says comes from a Tech 21 Leeds as I can't find an amp that does the same thing - apart from an actual Hiwatt but that's a bit beyond my means!

I used to lust after a Hohner Jack in the window of the guitar shop near school when I was 14... Never had the courage to ask the fearsome shop owner for a 'turn' on it sadly.

To any Foxton fans in the South East - he's headlining the hallowed stage of the Dartford Festival this coming Sunday (19th July). A legendary bass player, for free?! I'll be there, at the beer tent.

Purely from memory, I would be surprised if the first note was an F# - all the other notes would suggest it's a G. Otherwise you would have the Satanic interval between F# and C which would sound truly diabolical and not very fitting for this sunny tune!

Intriguing!

Cor, lumme! Bexleyheath you say? I'll be right over!

The 'Oo. Dream gig.

I am now the proud owner of Neil's Cataldo Fenderbird - and a truly marvellous beast it is! I am happy. Neil is an utter gent. He went out of his way to send me extra pics and kept in close contact throughout. Even had a happy little natter on the phone. He even threw in a strap for free. Top BCer - deal with confidence!

I've just parted company with my Fender Sub-Lime fuzz pedal but it's gone to a decent loving home, full of lots of other fuzzes of different shapes and sizes. They will do well with Byron - top bloke and a credit to our happy community. Deal with confidence!!!

Shame it doesn't work properly...

I can't see it on their website...

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1436354387' post='2817351'] As for the PJ.. I'm a P guy, but I've got a fair bit of work with a function band who do some tunes that cry out for bridge pickup burp. [/quote] Same for me. We had a few songs in our set that the P alone just couldn't pull off convincingly - well, 99% wouldn't notice but it bothered me! A Yamaha BB424 did the job admirably, and still let me use the classic P sound for most of the gig.

Bonkers. In a good way. What pickup did you use - Thunderbucker?
