Re: Rapier Guitars, ie: Alan Entwistle is at it again.

That guitar company owned by "Chappers" and the Andertons bloke make some guitars in the UK. Like NickD says, they're not cheap though (£3.5k). They're also fucking hideous. Pretty sure they're not what Eric had in mind with his "British guitar design aesthetic" :D http://www.cha...

Re: Rapier Guitars, ie: Alan Entwistle is at it again.

So, Burns is still out for the count since its purchase by Andertons guitars. They've said that it is coming back SOON (SOOOOOOOOON!) but there appears to be no real word on that at this point. And as if by magic... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hOhMwSYB74 Although looks like these are something ...

Re: Rapier Guitars, ie: Alan Entwistle is at it again.

I've got a John Hornby Skewes tuner knocking around somewhere that I bought 30+ years ago. God that makes me feel old.

Re: New Squier Paranormal Range

Someone over on Offset has just found some pictures of a shell pink Rascal bass on Fender’s website. Looks like there might be more colours coming out at some point? Maybe a retailer specific FSR?

Re: New Squier Paranormal Range

If I didn't already have a Venus XII, I'd be all over that LPB Jazzmaster XII. Can't really justify having more than one twelve string though.

Quite like the green Rascal bass.

Looks like the bass is also going to be available in black:

Re: Fender Junior Collection Jazzmaster mini offsets

No. They were 22.75” scale Squiers with hard tail strat bridges and hambakers.

These are 24” scale Fenders with like proper Jazzmastery bridges and pickups.

Still might not stay in tune I suppose but I’d imagine they’d probably be fine.

Re: New Behringer synths

Yeah, I'd seen that. I've been thinking of picking up a Poly D for a while now. They used to be available (new) for a shade over £450 but are currently £650+. Would be good if these price cuts bring them back down under £500. I think the really big cuts are on the modular synths (System 55 / 35 / 15).

Roland SH-5 clone. They first mentioned this a couple of years back but it's apparently nearing production:

Re: New Behringer synths

I'd be quite up for an 8 voice Juno. 5 octaves would be preferable to 4 though.

I hope Behringer actually start getting some of these synths in the shops. They seem to have announced so much cool stuff but not a lot of it seems to have filtered through to an actual release yet.

Re: Marshall Pedal Reissues

I know I have a Guvnor knocking around somewhere. Should probably find it... I think I sort of dismissed it when I was about 16, but understand they're well thought of now? I suppose the old ones will go up in price now too..... There's a few Guv'nors on reverb for about £300 ish. And one for £899 ...

Marshall Pedal Reissues

Seem to recall these leaking at some point last year but then it all going quiet?

Anyway, Marshall are reissuing the Guv'nor, Blues Breaker, Shred Master and Drive Master: LANK

Do you use the GK pickup? If so, what do you have it connected to?

Re: All your gear, ever.

I've still got all but one of the guitars I've ever owned (so it's a good job I've never owned as many as Nick S D :D). In chronological order (to the best of my recollection): Yamaha SG200 Unbranded Les Paul copy Fender Jaguar Epiphone Dot Squier VM Jaguar Bass SS Squier Venus XII Fender PS Mustang...

Nice work, MacGyver :D

There don't seem to be any easily available strings that are light enough/long enough for that top A/B.
