    Guilty GAS

    I know perhaps I shouldnt, but I have serious GAS for one of these.....they look weird but they FEEL fantastic - the best neck Ive played for sure. I give you the Burns Steer www.burnsguitars.com/steer.php Is it wrong?

    Another Bay bargain

    After months of searching Ive finally managed to win a Dano Blue Paisley OD pedal off ebay. Chased down a few at shops but all gone, they are discontinued and as rare as rocking horse poo, almost NEVER come up on ebay. After months with an active search one finally went on the market this week...

    Lunchtime acoustic Jam

    Im taking the plunge into playing tomorrow, a lunchtime jam in my workplace with one of the engineers who is working for me at the minute, fellow guitar nut. He's bringing his epi EJ160 John Lennon acoustic in, Ill take my Ovation and we'll try and knock out a few tunes. Bit nervous, he jams...

    Guitarport online

    Anyone use this. I need to pick up my playing and develop more, but currently too poor to pay for regular lessons. GPO looks pretty comprehensive and along with dolphinstreet ;) maybe this would give me the shove I need? $8 a month is about £6 or so UK which seems a good deal for whats on...

    legacy diamond?

    Having a browse in my local gas station today and chanced across a really pretty Legacy Diamond LP goldtop. Good hardware (emg passive pups, gold hardware, grover tuners, beautiful finish) and it just looked gorgeous. Im going for another look and play tomorrow, I associated them with budget...

    I couldnt help myself....

    I had just sold my Peavey Nano Valve because it was too loud for my apartment. Then, I see a Behringer GM110 on ebay, the one amp I always regret selling as it always punched well above its weight and price tag, really good sounds. I tried, but I couldnt stop myself bidding and I won...

    The joy of Pod

    Since I moved into my new single guys apartment I have had to keep the volume seriously down (and make some space). Hence I had to sell the vox AD30 and the PEavey Nano valve (WAY too loud) and am discovering the joys of the Pod 2 I got to replace them. I usually play into headphones but...

    should I?

    Im tempted by a Peavey Generation Triple single in sunburst with a maple neck on blowout at £99 UK. For space reasons I might have to consider losing the gen EX HSS I have (black one/rosewood neck) to ebay. SHould I bother? its a lovely looking thing a 'proper' triple single like the nashville...

    AD30 out - POD 2 in?

    Soon I'll have my hands on the Peavey Nano valve which sounds great for home practice (plenty enough clean volume - as loud as the AD30 at home) and thinking of expanding its capabilities by also having a 1x12 cab for it. I have a selection of pedals too. If I do this space will be an issue so...

    Amp GAS strikes

    Im tempted to sell my AD30 VT and save some pennies from my expected bonus in February (most of which will be buying me a new roof......) and get myself a TECH21 TM30. I liked my Behringer GM110 a lot, would like to own the 'real' thing, with the active EQ and a reverb. The sound samples on...

    Pedal Family

    Heres my family of pedals so far. Dont feel the need for much more, save maybe an EQ when I get the nano valve amp going. My plan is to salvage one of the old samsonite laptop cases we use at work for our mobile engineers, adapt the innards to hold the pedals, remove the laptop PSU and fit a...

    Peavey Nano Valve

    Im still GASing for a teeny tube amp and have encountered a couple of UK sites selling the Peavey Nano valve at a great price (£59 on one). Has anyone ever tried one? read a few good reviews but might take a chance and buy blind.

    Happy birthday pedal

    I got me a shiny dan Echo pedal for my birthday today. Still exploring it but its very lovely and fat and rich. mmmmmmmm

    unsure which upgrade to go for?

    As I am suffering from something of a personal economic slowdown (along with most working folks around the world it would seem ) my GAS has had to be severely curtailed. Apart form haunting ebay looking for lonely and unloved pedals, I am thinking of the upgrade route but am not sure whether to...

    Nostalgia alert - Fender Bullet 1

    I mentioned in the pedal thread about my regrets at selling an original 1981 Fender Bullet 1 (I bought it in 1982, my first real 'decent' guitar but sold it when I got married first time around......doh,doh, doh...............:thwap: :thwap: ). SO I trawled evil bay and found one EXACTLY the...

    Gordon Smith Guitars - new website

    www.gordonsmithguitars.com New website for Gordon Smith Guitars - slicker and more up to date than the old one, but sadly my GS1.5-40 no longer figures in the range. Still, that means there are probably only 2 in the world with mine being the first one...........its definitely a keeper...

    Dan echo

    ANother 'bay bargain has entered the grumpy stable - a Dano Dan-echo. Only £20UK and in mint condition, minus only the box and little instruction manual. Had a quick play and its so lovely - adds a really fat warm tone, managed to get a passable reverb out of it as well. Sounds incredible on...
