I'd just been banging on to Freddy how alarmed I was to discover my ('burst-ish) Les Paul was my dream guitar; this image alarmingly on the money.

I stand with Freddy and Plops.

That was also me. Shame on you for losing that muff.

Oh blimey Nick. Fran made a thread like this a few years ago. Updated from there; the ones in bold I still have... Guitars - Marlin Sidewinder - Fender Bullet - Antoria 330 - Cimar tele custom - Burns Marquee - Samick 335 Resonator thing - tele '69 thinline - DeArmond 335-style bass - Epiphone Eliti...

Ooh, we're phasertwins!

Having the same pedal in two different colourways on two separate boards is amongst the coolest things I've ever seen. Kudos to you.

Honestly, fuck him. Nothing makes me feel more "all I need is my tele, my cable and my amp" than that fucking chump.

Is that red bass a Hagstrom Nick?

Hubba hubba hubba. OTM my favourite custom colour.

(do an tort).

This is what I did too! Way better, I reckon.

(do you wax pot everything now? Do your family live in fear that you'll decide they're microphonic next?)

Thread here (with apologies for TGP content), but think that's a Mk1.5 circuit in a Mk2 enclosure (see post near the bottom). Which is good, because Mk1.5s are brilliant - I've got a Fuzzfaceless one. UPDATE: my Fuzzfaceless one is a Mk1. I'm forgetting my Tonebender lore. Lovely stuff, always loved...

Was racing towards the end of the thread to post similar advice, although I'd pop a delay pedal in the chain too.

The Superego would like a word.

Nice purchase Hurbert. Been a long time since I've done any more than skim over a Wattspost (I'm not getting any younger, I only have so much time left to me), and think he maybe pulled a "just kidding" in the middle around the 500 word mark, but the Greenback sounded pretty good in my old...

Yeah, there are some fucking howlers in that (admittedly, nine year old) list; like the very first one listed is wrong (although the Mooer Trelicopter is a Tremulator clone, if you want one). Is it worth adding a big "buyer/Pens Beware - this list hasn't aged well" banner on the first post...

That's the weirdest shit - now working.

What the actual fuck is happening to me?

(also, was that really Michael Gove, or am I entering into the gullible years very publicly?).

They've been like this in the UK for a while now Rob - reckon they maybe peaked early this year? On their way down again (because we have no money, and need to buy crossbows quickly for our impending Mad Max future).

Sub-£100, I reckon you'd easily get quite a decent set on eBay/thefretboard. Fender Fat 50s are stealthily brilliant, and match the pickups I was banging on about above.

Yeah, the market's really shifted since I built my strat (pre-Brexit, Torygeddon etc). I was about to recommend Rose Pickups, but they're out of business now, plus importing from the states isn't viable any more I feel. Grey-bottom U-stamped Tokai pickups are the best strat pickups I've heard; my Ro...
