[QUOTE=whitespace;22077878]aaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhhhhhhhhhhh Porcupine Tree canceled their only show in Finland[/QUOTE] Wasn't going to Ruisrock anyways, but it's sad none the less.

[QUOTE=tommyc225;22070865]How is the SG for you? I was thinking about getting a prophecy EX version of it, or one of these if I couldnt afford it [editline]11:16PM[/editline] Maybe even a gothic[/QUOTE] It nose dives like a bitch, is nice to play, well rounded. Is EXTREMELY LIGHT also, never get a gothic sg, overpriced pieces of shit. Not worth it

anyone recommend a cheap acoustic <£100 preferably with spruce top and mahog back and sides I'm currently looking at [url]http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/product/11347-fender-cd-60-natural.html[/url]

[QUOTE=Olinaj;22074358]Could anybody recommend me anything challenging to play? I've pretty much just stepped into a whole new valley of guitar playing skill and I need more stuff to play.[/QUOTE] True jazz.

[QUOTE=Hullu V3;22078208]You don't know anything about lightness untill you've picked up a Parker.[/QUOTE] I will keep that in mind

I don't see a locking nut on there, how does it stay in tune?

I've got a Fender Stratocaster, and a Fender Amp. Can't be bothered to post pictures yet

[QUOTE=TheGuru;22072707] ERGs seem somewhat popular amongst FPers :buddy:[/QUOTE] I'd say Casinos,Strats,and Teles are the most popular.

I just saw a "1 year old" Ibanez GRG 170 DX for 1000 bucks. My Ibanez GRG 170 DX cost like 500 bucks fresh new. Scammer, or got scammed?

Just a question, how much worse is a Squire Jazz-Bass from a Fender one? Edit: Sorry, meant Squier.

Squire sucks in general

[QUOTE=deggemannen;22082435]Squire sucks in general[/QUOTE] My Squier is a pretty decent guitar.

[QUOTE=deggemannen;22082435]Squire sucks in general[/QUOTE] Squier, on the other hand, are rather nice.

[QUOTE=cup-a-soup;22082083]I don't see a locking nut on there, how does it stay in tune?[/QUOTE] He's in the middle of building it, he hasn't put the locking nut on it yet god i feel like a Hypno fanboy

[QUOTE=Epic Sandwich;22065971]How's that pathfinder dirty harry?[/QUOTE] I really like it. It's only a practice amp, ofcourse. I don't have much experience with amps though, so some may consider it a piece of shit - but for just £50, I don't think you can complain. Great value. Great for playing Beatles stuff, with my Casino.

[QUOTE=L_Dawg;22082395]Just a question, how much worse is a Squire Jazz-Bass from a Fender one? Edit: Sorry, meant Squier.[/QUOTE] They are actually great sounding, Comparable as I have heard to Fender Jazz Basses. Though it depends...

I want one of those VM Jazz basses. Cheap, decent fretless? yes please

Seems as though, they're ripping me off since it's $368 (after conversion).

[QUOTE=Epic Sandwich;22086748]Might get one, I need a new practice amp and £50 sounds like a rather good price.[/QUOTE] Cool. It really is great for the money. What guitar(s) have you got?

[QUOTE=dirty harry;22086981]Cool. It really is great for the money. What guitar(s) have you got?[/QUOTE] A standard MIM Telecaster with a gorgeous sunburst and an Epiphone SG Special (which I don't really use). Will post pictures later if I find my camera.

[QUOTE=L_Dawg;22082395]Just a question, how much worse is a Squire Jazz-Bass from a Fender one? Edit: Sorry, meant Squier.[/QUOTE] Get one, either from the Vintage Modified series or the Classic Vibe.

[QUOTE=cup-a-soup;22082083]I don't see a locking nut on there, how does it stay in tune?[/QUOTE] Havn't put the locking nut on yet due to a lack of tiny screws. The locking nut is not going to be placed floyd style, it'll be behind the headnut. strings will go over the headnut, and through the locking nut. I don't really like the way the metal locking nuts change the tone of the guitar.
