Thanks, At some settings you get a nice "Tweed" Fender tone, and then it goes mucho "Top Boost" Vox on ya. The EQ is very sensitive to were it's set. I not gonna lie, I prefer Fender amps. Like a Princeton Reverb or Vibro-Champ. Some people can pull the best tones from their Voxes, but all I get is icepick.

Not yet, because I plan on replacing the cut-off (and ruined) saddle height adjustment screws. So I ordered those and some Fender 150 Pure Nickel Mediums.

I was wondering if someone would recognize any of the tunes. :D The other vids were early "Who" (Substitute, and Can't Explain). Albeit, a more simplistic "punk" version of the two.

GOOD STUFF! I love my Musicmaster for rhythm stuff, especially clean or with a leeeettle bit of dirt. So much dynamics out of the vintage pickup into a touch sensitive dirt pedal and a clean valve amp.

Thanks guys! The pickup in these are super punchy, and basically the definition of MOJO.

Possibly the oddest 'flip' I've ever seen.
Earlier in this thread he said he buys and sells guitars, while being tapped for cash.
Still, I'm gonna guess this was a buy it now? Tapped or not, why not recoup the original cost?
Fucking puzziling.

bizarre thread is bizarre.
