hey reece, good to read you.

nice guitar. I like the black covers. black on black could be cool with that blue. what's that blue called?

Cheers. I mean, yeah, I already gave that guitar to a charity shop, but this is good info anyway.

Love those ridiculous’60s kitchen device dials and I don’t know why.

Yeah loving it. Getting the Bryan Adams fingers from playing it too much.

So, yeah. That was a much harder choice than I anticipated. Both the Sigma 000M15 and the Yamaha FG830 felt really nice to play and sounded really good. I had thought I'd go for the Yamaha on looks alone if they felt/sounded similar but irl the Yamaha looked a bit worse (more plasticy looking) and t...

After looking up reviews, the Sigma that Bacchus recommended is now in a head to head with the Yamaha FG830. Honestly, I love the look of the Yamaha, so if there's not much difference between the sound/feel of the Sigma I will end up getting the Yamaha on looks alone. Took a halfie off work tomorrow...

Ok, interesting. This seems like the recommendation I'm looking for. In that £300 range and seems justifiably worth the extra £200. I have a friend that plays a lot of acoustic and he said I should just get a Little Martin for playing in the house. I'm kind of immediately resistant because of the Ed...

Ohh, yeah. that does look really nice in close up.

Pretty sure the only guitars I’ve owned with hambackers are the ones I fitted them into.

Been thinking about picking up a new acoustic. Just for playing round the house. I used to have a Yamaha F310 years ago (have no memory what I actually did with that guitar). I remember liking it at the time, so I figured I might buy another, but I am doing alright for money these days, so I thought...

Yeah, I just reassembled my jack plate and plugged into the Valve Jnr and it does still buzz / hum a bit but I think that's at the aforementioned amp problem. Same hum when no guitar plugged in. So, a bunch of contact cleaner did the trick. With a little help from my friend Baron Wiggle dé Wiggle. A...

I unscrewed the jack plate and everything is grounded to the volume pot. I tried touching everything all over the place to see if I could figure out what wasn't grounded while holding onto the volume pot and I realised that putting pressure at an angle on the pot itself, without touching anything, w...

Just saw this. I thought it was a reissue at first because it's so clean. Holy moly, I want this.

FFS. Turns out it's not just the amp. It's the amp plus my Jaguar is having some kind of grounding issues. I was think actually that buzz is really too loud to be normal so I tried my Tele, and after fucking about with the now dodgy switch on that, I got it to work and it's way way quieter. So, basi...

So I skooshed a load of IPA through both the volume and master volume and gave them both a good old wiggle-de-wiggle. Left it until now to dry out and it seems like it's back to life. I think the pots just needed cleaned. Has a hell of a noisy buzz, but I seem to remember it always being like that. ...

This is all making me think I should just buy a fancy new solid state practice amp.
