(re: audio quality in yer vids, you could always record speaker sim DI/well placed mic audio in Audacity alongside the video cam, and just replace the audio in Movie Maker)

I've often looked at them Hohners myself, but when i saw the Wesleys for £79 (with gig bag, lead, strap, plectrums..), AND they got a good review on HCUR as well... i thought dew it!

Thanks for the tip on the recording. I considered using windows recorder along with movie maker but was concerned it would be out of sync, exposing myself to extra Youtube abuse "hay! u suck, your not rely playing that and Furston Mo0re never played like that m8"

Im tempted to get a Surfcat and turn it into a small project. Like this:



Bronco / Jaguar

DO IT!!

i think it'd look pretty cool with a single in the bridge and a HB in the neck, like a reversed jag-stang or something.

Not here yet but I ordered an SX Jazz Bass a few days ago:

dudes, none of these are available in the US. how come you guys get all these cool guitars?

actually I am totally in the market for one of these right now. is there anywhere that would ship to these to the US?

oh, the irony...

heheh, do you all really not have guitars we have here? or are they just less available.

yeah, vintage stuff is much scarcer and more expensive as a result. also, what US made fender guitars cost in dollars, they cost in pounds. no fair!

ya know I often hear that about the prices but I think there's more to it than just the exchange rate. I think everything is more over there including cost of living and salaries. I don't really know though. I just know that when we travel over there everything is really expensive compared to here. I'd like to see a comparison between the median US salary and the median UK salary.

It's easily slided (slid?) across to be in time in Movie Maker, that's how I do my "close mic" demo vids.. plus I mix it with the cam audio for the tawkin'..

That one jazz shaped thing with the strat bridge and 3 pups was available here under the Malden brand name. You'lls ee them turn up in pawnshops and cheapo guitar stores. They were amde under a bunch of names.

Malden in The United States was the one I saw most, Stagg was another one.

Fernandes also used to make a Jagmaster style geetar:

those Malden Guitars look amazing

yea, I really dig that tele style one. but the shape is not really right. the holden and worship/J&D ones are like an exact copy of a jagmaster. even the pickguard is the same shape.

Good point. Headstocks may vary but there seems to be a handfull of brands using the same stock.

Stagg

dudes, I just got this fernandes on the bay

Nice one. DEMO!! (when it arrives)

indeed

Are these shortscales? or regular strat scale? I have a crappy tom delonge squier strat which I dont use anymore, but the neck is really nice and I am thinking of using it on a project eventually. Shitty tuners but a big 70's style headstock. I could put it on one of these budget offset things if they are 25.5 scale
