    That case looks mighty familiar, I had one just like it for my first 'good' guitar, an Aria LP copy, with bolt on neck (is that rather Ibby a bolt on?). Here's a teenage me with the axe in question...

    I’ve been using D’Addario EXLs for donkey’s years, I’ve tried others but always come back to these. Nice feel, good tone and not expensive.

    Nice review, thanks for posting. I really like Richie Kotzen and Teles in general, so this was really interesting for me.

    I don't know enough about Vs to say whether yay or nay in terms of it being the real deal, but the missing digit may just have been a poor imprint on the day (Gibson certainly have their QC moments).

    The singer in one of my bands bought a Harley Benton ‘Ric-alike’ 12 string which was remarkably good value, plays well and sounds great. https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_rb_612bk_classic_series.htm

    IIRC I’ve had: Traynor 2x12 (a Fender Twin clone that weighed a ton). Marshall Country & Club Fender Hot Rod Deluxe (I replaced the speaker with a Jensen 12”, which improved it no end). A self build Stinger amp, designed by Denis Cornell, 1x10, 11w. Fender Super Champ X2 (my current amp, albeit with some digital FX gubbins in it). But the best valve amp I ever owned was Fender ‘59 Bassman reissue. 4x10, 2x6L6 and loud as hell! I modded it so it be a master volume amp, with preamp gain control. What a tone.

    Fine, fine guitars. I owned an original run McCarty and a Swamp Ash Special, both were fantastic players with bags of great tone, although eventually I found the ergonomics weren’t for me. I also had an SE singlecut later on which was better for me as a design and was stunning value for money. I’ll see if I have any pictures stored somewhere. EDIT: None of the Swamp Ash Special sadly. However...

    This is my thinking.

    P90s for the win.

    Right, let's get this forum moving with some satiated GAS. Having tried this out last week, I pulled the trigger today and I'm ever so glad I waited, £60 off the advertised online price. I've taken off the horribly contrasting white pickguard and have set it up. Plays really nicely and those stock P90s sound great, especially the neck pickup. Minor gripes are that there a few sharpish fret ends (easily fixed) and that the pau ferro used for the fretboard has obviously been stained a bit and putting some lemon oil on the rather dry looking 'board, caused some stain to come off on my fingers. Still that's merely cosmetic and, again, easily fixable. Oh what's that I hear you say? Very well...

    Clashing on the weekend of the Bass Bash makes this a non starter for me too .

    Guitar Guitar in Birmingham have one at the moment https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/pxp180812331231004-1821754--yamaha-sg700s-trans-green-mij-pre-owned-qj0029f but you’re right, you just don’t see them that much and they were such good guitars. I also have a soft spot for the ‘Super Flighter’ which was a cheaper alternative to the SG.

    That, sir, is bloody lovely. GLWTS.
  15. ezbass
    That partscaster looks quality.

    I like Guitar Guitar, the range at my local branch (Epsom) is huge! However, I also have a soft spot for Guitar Village in Farnham as I find their old, rambling premises intriguing, with lots of nooks and crannies hiding some nice gear. Anderton’s in Guildford is good too, albeit a bit of a drive (as is GV).

    Probably down to lack of replies at this time, if this was BC there would be probably 5 times the amount of posts; give it time. Guthrie Govan, what a talent, The Aristocrats are amazing. Good shout on Richard Thompson, as adept on electric as he is on acoustic guitar and a song writer par excellence, who I’ve seen many times.
  18. ezbass
    Ah, slightly different, but totally workable. Cheers!

    Hi guys, I'm loving the new site, just what I need, somewhere else to fritter away my time Anyway, I've noticed that when selecting a thread from the list of unread posts, rather than automatically jumping to the most recent unread post (as it does on BC) it just goes to the first post of that thread. It does it on both my iPad and Mac. Nothing major, but I thought it was worth reporting, especially when we start to get longer threads than we have currently. Keep up the good work.

    As they say on Planet Rock, one's day is always made better with a bit of Joe Walsh; Turn To Stone is my personal favourite.

    Why, thank you very much. It’s actualy a water colour paint with Danish Oil on top, finished off with wax. I did the faux binding with enamel, model paint.

    There’s a 2nd hand 7 string at GuitarGuitar within your budget at the moment https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/pxp180728330165004-1740455--esp-ltd-mh-350nt-pre-owned-l10013876

    This seems only appropriate as it seems a popular subject on BC. I'll start: Eric Johnson Robben Ford Steve Morse Brian Setzer Tuck Andress Mark Knopfler (at least the first 3 DS albums anyway). I've also recently been listening to a lot of Richie Kotzen, but I can't add him (yet) as he might be just this week's 'must listen to' player.

    Simon & Patrick Rosewood Folk (which I've had for 20+ years) and Epiphone EJ200.
