Wow that is cheap - and decent reviews too. Thanks!

I have one and I think at least one other person on here does too. It’s far better than the price suggests!

There's two pictures of it on the last page!

Mines actaully a Squier Vintage Modified, and funnily enough I'm thinking of selling...but not in Ldn...

but cheap buy twice.

that said, you should be able to pick up an entry level otp jazz squier for under 200 notes.

I got my telecaster back from being refinished and reunited it with its neck. He's done a fantastic job - it's obviously streets better than anything I could have managed.

I'm still putting off polishing the neck though :(

Can vouch for that, lovely instrument, especially for the price. Taking it to a luthier for a decent setup and getting a set of good quality strings is highly recommended though, out-of-the-box these HBs aren't perfect by any means.

Don’t forget Sire.

I bought the P-bass version this week and its really nice. Great, versatile preamp on it. Am selling my German-made Warwick to make space and loving the range of cheap but well-made instruments these days.

That looks great for £100! Is it my eyes or is that a real chunky headstock?

I see what you mean, but I think it’s just the photo - the headstock isn’t noticeably thicker than usual.

It is good for £100, in fact I feel bad now for haggling the guy down from £130.

Been messing about with wet/dry set up at home. Dirt into both amps and delay into one sounds incredible. Add tremolo into one... then amp tremolo into the other at the same time is mind bending.

Goodness

That is definitely x rated guitar action. Looks fab.

Nice fireplace too.

That's a rig and a half... 🥰

I'm after abit of advice. I have a Boss BD-2 with the Keeley Electronics Phat Mod. I don't know why, but it is not working or lighting up when connected via either battery or power supply. I have taken the back off and can see no glaring issues with the circuit board and there aren't. It's over 10 years old so outside of warranty (even if I did want to pay for postage to USA). As I no longer use it, would it be better to get it fixed before I sell or should I just sell as 'for parts'?

Second question, does anyone have a recommendation for a UK based company that can repair my pedal?

I can take it off your hands for five bucks, Alex...

JPF Amps on Denmark Street repairs pedals. An amp of mine is with them now but I haven’t had it back yet so can’t comment on their work.

Now I just need to find a band...

Don't we all, bruv... I need to do something fun, tuneful, freeform, very noisy and extremely experimental...

Same here man. well, just something noisy would be nice.

I do have a drummer ready to go. Fuck it. I'm going to book a session now.

Church gentlemen, I entirely concur on the band front.

when did fender start this shit?

its horrible!
edit: hang on, maybe there was a worst looking guitar competition

I actually don’t hate the offset Tele, the MIJ mahogany one is quite nice. It’s certainly less of a horrific mashup than some of the Parallel Universe stuff. The Jag-Strat, for instance is a proper mess:

Haha! I like that! Looks like a Burns.

I like this Lead III though.
