That'll be a killer. I had a couple of phone conversations with Greg a few years back when he was only selling direct. Really genuine guy who really knows his Marshalls. Still kicking myself for not getting the Monterey I was considering at the time.

I like those ones, with the thicker tiger stripe flame.

I want something pointy and heavy metaly. Dave Murray and Adrian Smith (😍) used to wield these back in the early 80's.

I don’t know if I’d have known that was an Ibanez

Ibanez Destroyer 2. The first one was basically an exact copy of an Explorer.

They're a little funky looking aye :lol:

I've been GASing for a baritone for a while now. Missed out on one of the Squier Jazzmaster ones that are now going for crazy money.

Considering one of these as a cheap and cheerful option. I've tried a Bass VI before and it was a bit low so would want to restring it for B-B tuning rather than E-E.

What do you reckon, would it be too big a neck? I play bass as well so don't mind the scale length, more thinking still being able to play chords comfortably.

I’ve been feeling the Jaguar a bit lately, been listening to a lot of Johnny Marr lately, it’s a pretty classy instrument.

I have massive GAS for a guitar I used to own, but is very firmly in the hands of its current owner :(

Fair enough really though.

And even less likely:

Wanted this so bad in '82. It was 325 quid whilst the Artist was only 200. I was on 23.50pw YOP scheme at the time so had to go with the Artist. Fine guitar just the same.
