I've  found  that  it  can be  easy  to  make  mistakes  with  it  and  for  that  reason I  wont  use it  live  unless I  pre  record  the tracks .However  it  is  a  great  practice  tool and I  use  it  daily. I think  the  effects are  a  bit  basic and  I  also prefer  to  use it  through  a  second  amp or  through  the auxiliary channel of  my  line 6  spider 4

Maybe the old one needs a new battery lol

Just  by  chance  today  I came  across  a  Squier  Strat  in a  junkshop  with  a  sign on it   saying  needs  attention and  a  price  tag  of  £5 .Quicker  than a  speeding  bullet  I was  in there asking  what's  wrong with  it . The  vendor  said   its  missing  some  electrics ,to  which  he  showed me the  back   of  the  guitar ,the  plate covering  the  whammy  bar  springs   was  missing  exposing  the   insides. Ok  I  said  handed him   five  pounds  and  left  before  he  changed  his  mind .Got  home   re stung it plugged in  sounds  great , sure  theres  a  few  dings  and  knocks   but  five  pounds  for  a guitar  that was £160 new got  to  be  a  bargain .

Great  song  love  the  content  and  the  music .I  would  like  to  hear  your  voice  a little  louder  in the  mix ,but  that's  just my  personal preference  .its  really  good .There's a  big  upsurge in anti  war  songs at  the  moment  ,the  more  the  better .

Is it me or has music stepped into a dreary phase I've been watching the x factor and contestants are singing the most dreary songs,i absolutly hate songs like hosiers take me to church,bad versions of proud mary  and the monotonous dirge of forgetfull covers If there gona do covers make them somthing individual ,several ocasions Simon Cowell stopped artists from singing original songs in favour of covers ,maybe it should be called lets find a tribute act.

Great   guitar  Roger I  think  Vintage  are  so  under rated  When I  bought  my   VS 535 I  compared  it  to  the  epiphone  335 dot  and the Gibson es  335  and  despite  being  the  cheapest  of the 3  the  vintage  played  and  sounded  best .

Maybe its to keep the acoustic sound of the drums bleeding into the audio mics ,so only the miced sound of the drums comes through the PA and monitors alowing the band to play at lower stage volumes while the drummer still knocks 7 bells out of his kit.

Know the problem Joey, I still have 14 guitars,4 amps, 3 PA systems  and numerous accessories in my Greek house to bring back when the sale goes through. There is no way that  all my gear and instruments are gonna fit in our UK cottage ,I have 9 here and 3 amps .a selection of pedals mics  cables etc already   and only an 8x4 spare room to keep it all in.
