I received my one today. £310.50 delivered. Mine has two string trees. (I know that some have come with one or no string trees.) The factory setup/inspection tag is signed July or August (I forget which). It might well be the same date as Pacafeliz's one. I have a few offset guitars, but this is my...

what bridge pickup to accompany a neck Jaguar pickup?

I'm seeking suggestions, please, on what (type of) pickup would make a good bridge pickup to suitably match with and accompany a Jaguar style pickup in the neck position ? Essential criteria: it must be something humbucker sized! So far, I'm thinking a vintage output PAF style humbucker or a P94 typ...

@Pacafeliz - many thanks for the review/info/pics! A couple of questions, please: How does the neck compare to a typical C neck? I prefer slimmer necks. Any idea what the DC resistance is on the (''high output") bridge humbucker pickup? (It seems a big mismatch to the neck pickup?) I don't get ...

I have a 2002 year Squier Jagmaster (Standard Series, made in China). I'm trying to find out what make and model the stock humbuckers are. They're completely unmarked. They don't have 4-conductor wire.

Can anyone advise/help?

Where can I find this info out definitively?

Thanks

As Korg owns the Vox brand, and this pedal has the same enclosure as the Vox DelayLab, is this just a cynical sort of re-hash of the DelayLab which doesn't seem to be selling very well?

The Behringer Time Machine is an obvious candidate I s'pose, as it's a knock-off of the old-style DMM. It's a genuine analogue delay.

The NUX Time Core pedal can be had dead cheap on ebay new. It's a multi-mode digital delay pedal with a looper mode. I dunno how good it sounds though.

For a transparent clean boost, the BBE Boosta Grande. or Visual Sound True Tone.

For something more versatile, consider: TC Spark; Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive; Mi Audio Buff n Boost; Catalinbread Naga Vipa.

Andy Summers in The Police used an early EHX Electric Mistress (not the Deluxe Elec Mistress) - a flanger; not a chorus pedal. That pedal can do chorus like sounds. It's a very musical flanger. Hartman do a very nice clone of it. Finding a flanger that can do chorus like effects and musically, is ha...

SO MUCH PUBES. I've had to start importing pubes. Do you have any Greek ones currently in? I digress. Yes, I agree with OP. Barber is very good stuff and decently priced. I saw their website recently though and they seem to have stripped their prodict line right down. In relation to Barber, I feel ...

If you're considering a Boss GE7 type, then look into the cheap but very solid GE7 knockoffs by the brands GLX (aka Beta Aivin, aka harley benton) and Daphon (aka Chord, aka Roberts, etc.)

p.s. The Tone Master mkII can be powered by external power supply (''standard'' polarity) in addition to battery. (The pedal shown in the gut shot photo above was a mock up without the external power supply jack.)

I intend to do some special deals for Shortscale forum members. Watch this space! In the meantime, here's some gutshots of two of the Sharptone FX pedals. Sharptone's fuzz pedals are all hand-wired. http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h403/Ro_S/SharptoneFX%20fuzz%20pedals%20for%20sale/mojo-004-1.jp...
