Hey, I wrote that! :D

I haven't found any more brands to add. But there is a lot of nice new stuff out there. Those Yamaha A series look good especially the no piezo bit. Me? I just have my J45...

The chord progression was used by Georg Frederic Handel in the 18th century. Even he probably didn't invent it. The fabulous Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain work it to death below. I feel sorry...

I had one but only ever used it for one number where both pickups together had just the right sound. I sold it to a guy on tdpri. A nice concept though and good to see Fender doing more than...

A happy place indeed if you can turn a brownface Concert up far enough to make it sound good :thumbsup

A lovely looking board. You need to tell me about that Carl Martin DC Drive ;)

I had one of those for a while. Not bad at all and the <1w (as it was labelled on mine) was very handy. I think there's a review of mine somewhere in the archives here.

MY top hit on flickr, Leica M6 + 90/2.8 thin Tele-Elmarit Shot in London and scanned from a hand print. I'd have to find the negative or a print for a bigger frame :( I'd owned the lens for a whole...

Maybe not 100% accurate but there's a Peavey Bandit history here. Studio Pros differ a bit as they went from a 40w with 10" speaker to 65w with 12" but the series dates are the same. Somewhere along...

This is Mike Campbell's rig. Look what's hiding behind those VOX Super Beatle stacks :thumbsup

6 blade aperture, eh? :D Spotties are great, which lenses? I used to have some nice Pentax SMC glass in K mount. All gone now :cry:

Gibson but I wouldn't call it a J45 with those fret markers. Gibson do tend to make it up as they go along these days though so who knows??

A lot of people say that the teal amps and the early Transtubes are pretty much identical for cleans. I've never played through a 1st series Transtube so can't say for sure. The Supersat (TM) circuit...

I saw a teal stripe Peavey Stereo Chorus in a local shop a while back for 200GBP with 6 months warranty. I had to walk away quite fast.

My first thought was "who plays a V sitting down?" :D

Loctite isn't permanent. Get a little bottle of threadlock and dribble onto the screws. It just takes a bit more effort to break the seal when you want to adjust it.

@SVL, what Spud said about pixel counts. You need about 5MP to produce 10x8 prints without clever processing. The trouble is that most internet comparisons are the equivalent of ramming your nose...

The best dSLR you can buy is the latest model. The best value is last year or so's model at a massive discount :D. If you like Nikons (and I do even though I currently use a Canon) the D5100 is being...

I had a Larrivee parlour guitar from one of the early runs they made to use up "inferior" wood sets. This was when Larrivee had one plant and 16 employees iirc. The build was absolutely flawless and...

The Canon SX230 is being cleared out at very good prices lately if you want a compact superzoom. GPS eats batteries and is only really useful if you're prone to forgetting where you've been :)

Happy birthday, Steve.

But they both use external power supplies which can be had from a local electronics shop.

I've no experience with the Mini 3 but it has the same layout as the DA5 so...

I've had a DA5 and now have a Microcube. I prefer the cleans on the 'cube and the effects are less fussy to use. On...

Silver Efex is well worth the money if you like black and white. About 30 rolls of Tri-x in money terms.

Bel Air by Mark Bowerman,...

+1. Cheap, good and point to point so easily modded if you're into that. My Special 6 has huge transformers for a small amp too.

These were shot with an e-520 and the kit 14-42mm. The e-520 has an over the top anti-aliasing filter and everything out of that camera needed a load of sharpening but the lenses were great. I had...
