I also have a Marshall AS 50 which I like for both guitar and ukulele. It has a decent rather than stellar sound. I don't like the chorus to be honest, but the reverb is pretty good. I have tended to use mine with a floor preamp as I prefer the sound of my soundhole pickup through the preamp rather than straight in, but piezo pickup sounds good just into the amp. I have tried a couple of others too in a fit of GAS, nothing wrong with any of them (the Roland street cube, Ashdown Radiator, Laney AH80, Carlsbro Sherwood), but the reason I keep coming back to the Marshall (this is the third one I have bought) is that, to my ears, the DI output sounds close to the sound when sat in front of the speaker, so i can use it for monitoring and know that the adjustments I make sound similar out front. I am sure some of the AER etc combos are better overall sound quality, but my Marshall was only £150 and it has a more than acceptable sound.

Wilkinson pickups are decent, and won't break the bank. I used them on my H.Benton homebuild SG. The Wilkinson mini humbucker may possibly fit a P90 route. That would be interesting.

I’m not a fan of the Mira design, but silver sparkle works. Ooh, shiny shiny .

I’ve got a reasonable trade-in offer on this which I’ll probably accept unless someone wants to offer me £450? REDUCED TO £595 The Great Clearout continues. I need to cut down on the herd so I’m selling my PRS SE Custom 24. This is the 2019 Limited Edition in a fetching Tampas Green with a beautiful roasted maple neck. After digging around on the PRS website, I can confirm that the serial number denotes it as Korean-made, (although the fact that it says “Built by World Musical Instrument Co. Ltd, Korea” on the back of the headstock is a right giveaway). The colour maybe wasn’t my first choice (although it has grown on me) but when I plugged it in and played it in the shop suddenly the colour didn’t matter and I just had to have it. Full spec is here https://www.dv247.com/en_GB/GBP/PRS-SE-Custom-24-Roasted-Maple-Limited-Trampas-Green/art-GIT0049341-000 Sadly, since we’ve downsized into a smaller house I just haven’t got the room and things have to go (Ric bass and a nice Taylor acoustic coming soon). I have to keep the guitars I gig with but as the PRS has only ever been used at home, it has go. Condition is immaculate. It comes with the PRS gig bag which itself is a thing of quality. Available to try here in Hull or I can meet up - PM for details. Post would be a last resort and within the UK only. Some pics (forgive the frantic patterns on the soft furnishings)…
