Lovely, lovely guitar. But man alive, I hate that fella's: - Demos*, and... - Jeans. * and I know it's poor form to hate on someone who's so prolific in terms of demos, but that bloke is the ultimate corksniffer (he's written some vile stuff about MIJ guitars) and seems to take no pleasure from pla...

The Musket is real good. Sounds great and has extra controls, so it can sound like a bunch of different style muffs, but i think it's based on a Russian. I have a Musket, a Tone Wicker, a Stomp Under Foot Rams head, and a Black Russian Muff, but i use the Musket. Downsides of the Musket--no battery ...

I like that they demoed an inexpensive pedal too, but I thought that thing sounded like crap. Andy kind of looked like he knew it too--I'm pretty sure he threw up in his mouth at 0:44.

Ended up having cancellers remorse & called these guys back & they restated my order. Very happy I did so. Brand new guitar arrived today, no problems. My apologies to the store for my griping & complaining. It's the best guitar I have ever played. Can't believe I didn't have a Jazzmaste...

So is Hello Music not worth bothering with? I get like 5 emails a day from them because I signed up hoping for a deal to fall into my lap someday, but if it's a scam to any degree I'll just unsubscribe I did just notice that I got a refund today, so not a scam. They told me when I cancelled the ref...

Goodbye Hello Music

A month after ordering I finally had to cancel. They promised me so many times it was a day or two away. Maybe it would have eventually come, but I can say with certainty that what they tell you on the phone means nothing. Did just get a refund though.

Thanks, stew, the last few days I've felt like an extravagant @#!*% , but I have to keep telling myself I NEVER spend money on me... it's pretty nice after all these years. Not an extravagance in my opinion to have one decent playable acoustic. And it's not like you bought a D-45 covered in Mother ...

They take forever. It took more than a month for my pickpunch to arrive.
I called the other day to cancel & they knocked another $50 off. Just when I thought I was out...they pull me back in.

Just ordered one. Found another $50 off coupon (on their Facebook page) so it was $1,100 total--hope it's not too good to be true. I'll post when it arrives.

I like JCM800s best for lower gain tones, so I tend to prefer the early JCM800s and later JMPs. My favourite tone is a Jaguar through a JCM800 at fairly low gain (Chiemi from Mass of the Fermenting Dregs). JCM800s (2004s, etc) aren't really high gain, especially with single coils--I agree they do h...

I can play Angeles, (& I'm not that good.) Angeles is really a pattern-picking song. Once you learn the basic right hand alternating bass pattern it's actually pretty easy. It's almost like a trick--songs that sound impossible aren't actually that hard (Angeles & also Dylan's Don't Think Twi...
