[quote name='setekh' post='1111151' date='Feb 1 2011, 03:43 PM']I got the red strat (if you'd like some photos I might get them up in a couple of days) It looks pretty good, the neck is very much straight, the fretwoks is good and the tuners are decent (still in tune after a few of hours of messing around). Can't really comment on the pickups since I played it through the bass pod (which sounds horrible, but I haven't picked up a guitar pod), but output seems good and the pots are OK (no scratching). All in all, a lot of guitar for £60![/quote] Cheers for that. I fancy one of the black LPs myself.

Any more news/views of the 6-stringers? I don't need another bass, but I could do with a half-decent basic guitar for my studio.

I can only play this version....

[quote name='silddx' post='1103214' date='Jan 26 2011, 09:40 AM']So why do secondhand premium German Warwicks only seem to command less than a third of the new price, but people appear prepared to pay up to £700 for a secondhand Japan Fender Reissue. Make that nearly a grand with shipping and import duty if they source them from Japan. Fender could probably only manage about three or four of those bullets above.[/quote] ARE YOU SUGGESTING IT'S A WASTE OF TIM TO ADVERTISE WARWICKS ON BASSCHAT???

Great stuff! From a recording pov, particularly impressed with the drum sound, given that it's someone's front room - how was the kit mic'ed up?

[quote name='derrenleepoole' post='1092402' date='Jan 17 2011, 12:48 PM']Great musicians for sure, but totally leaves me cold.[/quote] I'd agree with that. Sounds like background music for a tv show or something - instantly forgettable.

[quote name='Bassassin' post='1082533' date='Jan 8 2011, 08:19 PM']Nah. You can buy a bass that looks, plays & sounds pretty much identical to that for about a hundred quid. If I had £8000 to blow on a bass, I'd get my head examined. Jon.[/quote] +1

Without wishing to hi-jack the thread, I notice that the Beyer DT-100 phones come in 400 ohm and 16 ohm versions. What factors would determine which was more suitable? (I would want to use them with a) my hi-fi amp my studio mixer c) my bass practice amp). Any advice appreciated.

Something a bit different....(warning, there's a tiny bit of French swearing at the end :-))

[quote name='Bilbo' post='1068619' date='Dec 24 2010, 11:04 AM']I regret to say, however, that a lot of music performed in the region I work in is not performed particularly well and playing music I don't like badly is not a good place for me to be and it is that which I seek to avoid where I can.[/quote] Hi Bilbo, When you say "the region I work in", are you speaking geographically or musically? Just curious! E
