Finally listened to this. It is excellent.

This is Fender's take on a Marshall JTM45 sort of deal, isn't it? I'd be interested to know how you get on. When they first came out, I sort of didn't like the idea of this amp because Marshall already make something that sounds like a Marshall, and I really didn't like the aesthetics for some reaso...

Similar to Nick, I started listening on my phone but quickly decided that it sounded like something that merits a proper listen, and bailed out. Sounded really cool! (or at least the first twenty seconds did, dunno if it goes to shit after that....) I'll get the proper system cranked this evening an...

This probably isn't the answer you want to hear, but the neck looks terrible on that guitar anyway, while the body looks sweet as fuck and a little bit special.

Search on. There must be a neck that doesn't mean surgery on the body.

Saw that yesterday. Went to install it, had to install their own standalone plugin subscription/management app type thing and create accounts for same. Got most of the way through then sacked it off and decided I'd pirate the fucker instead.

Yeah, that looks great. Didn't know you could put acoustic through it, but I suppose it would be strange if you couldn't. I was at a wedding recently and the guitarists and bassist were all going through helixes. Sounded really, really good. They also had an electric drum kit. Drummer had a tiny mix...

The knobs are actually the only thing he changed. Everything else is just an optical illusion.

The first person to reply to my first thread on Jag-stang.com wwaaaaaaay back when I was 15 or something.

Good to hear from you!

The slightly proud tuner would have me looking for a taller wah and deciding that I like being out of tune.

Linkin Park....

Thanks for the kind words. I'm excited to see where we go from here. We've sort of accidentally ended up with two singers, but the one on this recording is likely to be the one with time to commit to rehearsals and practice etc. I do like the idea of two singers, but don't want to string people alon...

No plans, but intentions certainly.

I say new, I've been playing with the drummer and bassist since just after lockdown. But we finally found a singer.

Heavens to Betsy!

This fucking guy...

It's well worth picking up an expression pedal for the M5. Reeeally opens it up.

There're cheap ones that can be easily modded to work with it:

Hmm. This might be nearly brilliant. Can't really work it out. I'm immediately put off by the crap font on the headstock. I think I'm mostly put off by the weird way the lower edge of the body loses its chamfer to hug the scratch plate tightly. I think this idea (Jazzmaster, but SG'd) could be bette...

(and with encouragement from Bacchus) The "encouragement:" Is the guitar shop at Ashburton worth a visit? I have no idea! I'll need you to tell me once you've been. Wish I'd been more useful. Also now wishing I had the wherewithal to drive down and meet you for a natter. When you posted a...

30 years of studying music, 20 of them seriously, and this is still the dilemma I constantly face.

I'm insanely jealous of Matthew's vintage Japanese collection.
