NGD: Line 6 Variax 300

Being sold by someone locally, watched it for a couple of weeks and it dropped so I pounced. It's supposed to have some intermittent issues but I haven't noticed anything in the limited time I've had it so far. I've managed to load the Workbench (the installer grumbled about failing to find JRE 1.6 ...

Re: Any verdicts on the squire sonic mustangs?

Very unlikely to actually go for this (unless the seller is prepared to settle for a hilariously lowball offer), but oh nooo: http://reverb.com/uk/item/78304305-mustang-bass-guitar-yellow http://rvb-img.reverb.com/image/upload/s--yF7aSRYr--/a_0/f_auto,t_supersize/v1705779865/j64itspz8cuf8sxzn73q.jp...

Re: Black Japanese resurrection

Here's how it looks with a couple of cheap knobs thrown on and no strap.

When it comes to the dots, a dot at 10 instead of 9 bothers me way more than no dot at 3.

Black Japanese resurrection

No, not a band name. I've been unable to use or dispose of my no-name MIJ since one of the two pins that operate the tremolo fell out of the tremolo arm and disappeared. For a couple of years I was thinking of taking it to a clockmaker as I think they use tapered pins to secure clock springs. Today ...

I 'm sure she'd be delighted with that elegant piece of mid-century furniture.
I'm very impressed with the EHX Lester G. I'm trying to record a demo.

Re: Wireless guitar - Lekato Airbridge

I spent something like £3.20 on a 3.6mm-to-3.5mm coupler and tried it with some ex-airline earbuds. It works; not sure whether it would be loud enough on stage.I'm not sure what the max input (and output) levels are.

Re: Wireless guitar - Lekato Airbridge

In the UK the version with the black transmitter is down to £29.99 with Amazon Prime, so I bought another set. The system does have some background noise that you will notice with a high-gain setup (but less than a wah pedal :lol: ). The recommendation in the Youtube review is to use a noise gate, w...

Just wondering whether to risk buying a pedal from Scotland.
