The only thing around here that's peaked is most of us!

I've got a Glock on my Ray 5, TBH I have no idea if its superior to the MM Pre (in a box under the bed) as I've never heard the Ray pre!

Im no expert(!) but Im fairly sure you'd be ok with that and you would hear it peaking out (ie farting) before you came close to damaging it, but wait for the real experts shortly!

wow, depreciation city!

If Im honest 8k for some rather nice woods and strings? well call me cynical but this will probably be around for some time...

here

yeah not a stick, something like this

Thats awful Andy, especially as its your main income, most of us are weekend guys doing it for beer money mostly, sorry to hear about this, feel for you mate

well, not quite free, but I get your point!

Yes I think he has learned a lesson, don't swap a £350 chapman for a dodgy bitsa in the first place!

Got an Update..and thanks to all your advice which I passed on to him, he stuck to his guns and has got the dealer to agree (very reluctantly) to swap back the guitars on the proviso that he pays £60, 30 quid for setting up the chapman before he advertised it on his FB page and £30 to put back the strat to its origional set up when they re-swap guitars, seems a bit harsh but I told him probably best to bite the bullet on that one and just get your axe back. Thanks for all your advice folks, love this forum, helped me out so many times

Keyboard Chat.."You don't have to be mad to join here but it helps!" Actually you do have to be mad...

yep no chance apparently, all the "paperwork" has been done and the Chapman re advertised on Facebook

Im after some advice folks. My best mate has just swapped a very nice Chapman electric for a bitsa strat from a facebook guitar dealer in Cornwall. Turns out the bitsa is a dog, heres my mates message to me "Went to setup the guitar I got yesterday and it's turned out to be a dog. To stop it choking on bends I have to raise the action by a silly high amount, and then it's unplayable. I thought the pickups were ok at his place (he just had a little tranny amp) but they suck, just Squiers. I knew the body was from a Squier but he told me it was alder, only for me to find out from the Squier site that it's either basswood or agathis (budget wood). Looked into finding a fatter block or even knew trem, but this has odd spacing for the posts, so I'd have to film them in and then redrill for a new trem - I need a drill press for that which I don't have. He's saying a huge b&ll-ache for him because he's done the paperwork and the photos, so I'm f+cked, I'm stuck with a bit of a dog. He says I should just sell it on, but I'm not sure who will want it. Kind of ruined my birthday. I'm such a soft tw&t so I'm going to have to suck it up. Sorry for rant, but you are my best mate an' all. x" Im fuming for him (its his birthday today as well and he hasn't got a pot to p1ss in). Does he have any rights? I feel he's been ripped off here and he's a top bloke.

and without the horns...

Chicago V is my fave..

Is it ever acceptable to widdle at insanely loud volume whilst the rest of the band are still setting up the PA? We say of course it is! You're the Star!

yep same here which is why I carry a sack truck with solid rubber wheels for my 410, PA sub etc..

That Wal sounds the dogs Bellocks!

so you made me youtube catscratch fever bass lesson...thanks...
