Them's is Matt Goods, right?

sure is, and it's $2400 at my local shop that refuse to budge on price because they suck. if i some how came into that much expendible money i would consider it because it is a handwired ac30 with warranty, something i hear they need.

I'd really like a set of 10 gauge flatwounds to be available locally.

have you tried half-rounds? i recently got some of these and have been loving them:

not that they'd ever be available in a local store or anything.

I was just looking at those on the juststrings.com thingy. I'd love to try them, but the $7 shipping kills and I can't get them in any stores. It sucks - the stores around here only carry Fender, some D'addario, and Martin. It's even getting hard to find Slinkys in town. IDK what's happening, but I checked 3 stores the other day and nobody even had GHS.

I'm GASing for the same thing I've been GASing on since 06'. A Feista Red Jaguar with a large non-matching headstock.
But I want a salmon pink/faded variation of Fiesta, exactly like this minus matching headstock:

Orangew 20w solid state bass amp. They're Â£99 rrp and there's one reduced to Â£79 in a local shop. I currently have a bassman and a vibrochamp. The bass channel on the bassman is superb for bass, the guitar channel is pretty much my perfect guitar amp (would like reverb on the cleans but I'll get a pedal for that) but I only turn the bassman on about twice a week as it's so loud. The vibro champ is a great low volume guitar amp but useless for bass. I've been using it so far but I would like a small solid state bass amp for day to day use.

I was looking at these online last night and realised that Â£79 new is a good price. I'll go watch some youtube videos now and possibly pick one up tomorrow if the shop still has any.

I tried that and the 35w. They're fairly similar, after a bit of umming and ahhing I went with the 35w. The 20w would have probably covered my needs fine but the 35w was a bit nicer in the low end (possibly due to the larger speaker, I don't know anything about the internal workings). It's a little bit of a needless purchase but will probably save me some money in tubes and encourage me to play with an amp more often which are both good things.

Very cool, it looks lush. I'm mildly jealous.

But-but-but... where is this new shop you're on about?

Post by **Mike** » Thu Jul 16, 2009 12:02 pm

And what's with those batty EQ settings?

In that new Quays building. Music Trade Oulet I think it's called. They have some of the non-Japanese Tokai stuff. I tried the amp out with a MIM Burgundy Mist Jazz Bass with matching headstock. The 'offest sontour body' part of the decal was straight after the 'jazz bass' part for some reason. I think it must have been the equivilant of one of those classic 60s strats or whatever, the neck was soaked in gloss and not that nice.

There might be no need to be. It looks like it'll be going back. Its crackling like a bastard even with nothing plugged in. I didn't notice anything at first but it's quite bad now. It sounds a bit similar to a scratchy cable or interferance on an old radio. I just tried it in different rooms around the house and it's no different. Could it be a not broken in speaker? I don't think it would be but it's the only thing I can think of that would mean it's not spannered. It's not the one I played in the shop but one they had boxed up in the store room.

Boo urns. Will likely take it back on Saturday.

I'm fairly gas-free at the moment, but if I was suddenly faced with the opportunity to fill in for an old school punk band. Here's the direction to which I'd heartily flatulate:

Nope, sounds electrical to me. Back, back foul demon!

The 100W hybrid combo, naturally. It only weighs 101lbs and costs $1300.
