I have a surplus of holiday days since I work so hard so I might do a little tour at some point.

the bedroom light's right above it so it makes it look lighter i think. hurb might want to steal it back if it arrived at a meetup...

Fucking corking thread aswell James, a really fabulous post and bunch of pictures. You've inspired me to take some outdoors stuff of the Mustang if the weather is ok this weekend.

That's just silly cheap.

Well done mate, looks like a nice guitar.

Oh my god. Guitar porn. That's an amazing guitar, at an even more amazing price. Good find, James.

Take an outdoor pic tomorrow if you get a chance, and I'll do the same and copy the angle (or you copy mine if I get there first).

Cheers Fran. I'd love to be gigging this guitar but I need to get songs and a band sorted first. I'm fairly sure I remember talking to you about mojo existing and saying I was going to have to buy an old Fender at some point. Glad I've managed to do it only a month later.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet. This is probly what my Mustang looked like when it was new. Your stangmaster is in such great condition, man. Robroes ftw, too, I hate staring at pole pieces for some reason... I hope you enjoy the fuck out of it.

Good job, James. Thats about the same price the reissues go for there isn't it?

Fairly close to half. Reissues go for Â£350-400 on a good day (i think)

'69 RIs top out at Â£300-Â£50
'65s will fetch Â£400 if you're lucky.

Have you spent much time with the Bassman and the Mustang? Do they love each other?

Pedal impressions?

James · Post by **James** » Thu Sep 04, 2008 5:42 pm

I only had an hour with it plugged in yesterday. The house is a bit too busy to rock out now but I'll be giving it a couple of hours tomorrow. It sounded good but I'm yet to get comfortable wih what it can do. The TBX tone pot seems more of a pain in the arse than something useful. Probably going to ditch it for a regular one.

Post by **Mike** » Thu Sep 04, 2008 7:49 pm

What does it even do anyway?

Apparently stand for Tone Bass Cut (x). Instead of reducing treble like a normal tone control it can reduce the bass too. Should have a 'flat' notch in the middle, and uses a 500 K to 1 M pot that filters the high in one direction and low in the other.
