dunno! beats playing with himself I suppose

Yes it's a Les Paul Special, but not a that model...this looks to be a VOS re-issue. So not P-100's but P-90's (100's are humbuckers, P-90's are single coil). They are totally great guitars - simple, resonant, feel good, sound rock n roll! VOS are still big $ - maybe $2.5-3K for this second hand? E...

Yes, I think it is. Still looks cheap and nasty to me... SACRILIDGE!!! I saw a Poster of BOB DYLAN playing one of those P90 gold tops on a wall in Christchurch once! I recall it clearly - unfortunately :D Actually I saw the Scorsese film on Dylan recently and consequently wondered why we ever bothe...

Can be so variable as well - for example last Xmas I temporarily stored 20 or so guitars outside in my well built and very secure but still basic shed in their cases. All but one guild case did splendid jobs with no moisture or mould problems - but that one case got covered in mould and covered the ...

I wonder if they ramped up the MRI machine power, could they cook someone in it??? :D I do know a few years back there was a major scandal over one of the xray cancer treatment machines overseas which they found out gave someone a maximum blast if the levels were altered once already entered in the ...

Nah dominic26 is a used/2nd hand dealer I'd say from his llstings. However I'm NOT advocating giving up on ACC BUT getting enough money via writing to deal to them the only way they understand ie with lawyers and a judge :D Fair Go is great, but only if you have a really clear case of oppression/che...

So what's the outcome? did you go roadworn, keep the US standard or are you happily ensconced in clinic 15 getting regular sedatives by injection every 4 hours???? I go with Rog on buying what you want/need and to heck with the resale value BUT we are both chronologically older and perhaps have a bi...

Hey Aquila well done on getting the gat you wanted. As for the ACC/Income thing you should write a book on your years at sea - no need to tell the absolute truth and everybody loves a good yarn, wife in every port (how you stuffed your back??? :D ) pirates and reeking of the strange, exotic places y...

Ta for that info you lot - I've already got 'clean' relatively well covered with Fenders/Roland amps so it looks like the Vox AD30VG would be the way to go.

However instead of discounts must ask the RS for a 'price challenge' - then see if the original source will go any better

I'm curious about how good the modern, smaller, solid-state modelling amps are with say 10-15 different amp types ieFender Blackface, Marshal 1960 etc etc Reason being I'm getting towards no space at home and if they are half decent it would be nice to have one to hand for trying out the various amp...

I liked (long time ago now :D ) to finish with an up tempo but neutral 'uglyish' number that sent em home slightly reved but happy ie Rebel rebel (especially if you've got a singer that can camp it up), Sultans of Swing, Rebel Yell or Money for nothing - you know, they can sing along to it and how y...

You could do the cunning chinese trick we used in the old days - strat on middle pup though a clean amp kept lowish (say a 50 watt valve on 1-3) with a touch of reverb makes quite a passable acoustic sound/fills the same space - plus it's a lot easier to duplicate live :D You could even point the sh...

Umm - sadly this is one of the things that happens on trademe with electronics goods from time to time. Some little bastards will sell you anything and use any trick to disguise even quite severe damage - I've had it done with electronic test gear (multimeters, frequency meters etc) that despite the...

Hmmm - very strong magnetic fields about groin height (for the indie type Blink 182 player) - probably make your balls turn green and drop off but 'ya gotta suffer for your art' right???

Hey Ears - you forgot the pre John entertainment with someone and a goat??? surely the DVD's of that would bring in some cash. And since BG says I've got to be nice, what's wrong with the RS running a combined John and Boobs on bikes show?? you know like the pic of 'tracy' naked and holding a LP tha...
