Back here again too, with Lingering DG element disappointment. Posted here a couple of years ago regarding issues with user (self uploaded) IR’s becoming ‘unloaded’ the moment you switch away to a different slot. Return to the user slot and your IR is no longer there and apparently not in the...

Oh, nice! Seeing this on the back of shedding the excellent flashback find ‘Pinball number count’ ( ) I wonder what other low end gold Henson has in the archives?

Same sentiment here. Wanted the JMJ for the size, tone and vintage neck dims - the Relic not even a consideration, if anything gave me pause. Given the choice I’d go for nitro un-dinged up. But having it in your hands you definitely feel less precious from the start, so much so I had no...

Ha! … I thought I was the only loser who did this s**t. Glad I’m not the only scale length (+ pickup placement) conspiracy theorist/nerd. Nicely done!

How would you characterise it … Is it mudbucker or P? Come to think of it, are they humbuckers? Any 60 cycle ?

Couldn’t be arsed driving up and popping it near the building. Bellends.

lovely jubbly … Anderton’s are one of my ‘go to’s’ for gear. Fingers crossed & keep us posted.

Nice spot … and there it is on the US homepage, scrolled down at the bottom with the ‘what’s new’. But … hit the pink image link and it’s dead. Search for the rascal page and the two options are black and green. Looks like the web team haven’t payed attention and uploaded a future special run...

Oooo is this real or a photoshop job? Could you post the link?

Oooh nice … I’ll pause on a purchase until your review drops. Glad I took a beat on an impulsive Epiphone NEWPORT buy and waited for that review [dodged a bullet there]. Some doubts creeping in after the immediate G.A.S I’d hope you could look at. - For a shorty this seems a little big, is...

In the market for a Shortscale for a while. Hit the Andertons site [ready to drop £1300] to see if the JMJ mustang was available and there’s the Rascal. Hmmm, third the price and something a bit different. Definitely pause for thought. For all the spec, speculation chat above, see below. It’s...

Cheers Yahboy, Of the three finishes offered, the white is definitely the best pick - the butterscotch looked naff to me and the sunburst didn’t quite look the part, only applied on the front. Too weird. White is a nice contrast, still might refin though. Smaller headstock is for sure an...

As requested … some pics of the new Fretless D5. Plus a bit of a user / customer review. Hope it’s helpful. Had it a week now, necks settled in after some tweaks (heatwave here in the UK didn’t help, pretty much a week long setup process) had a little buzzing in the upper register but now neck...

Just got myself a D5 Fretless in vintage blonde … bought it blind as there’s no product photos out there but glad I gambled - it’s pretty good for the money.

Funnily enough, you’ve just described what I did to my jazz recently - Shielding, split coil PU replacement [Lindy Fralins], upgraded caps. No fear of a little mod job. Still get a bit of buzz, only when tone opened full (poor outdated wiring in the flat) but so improved … seen some pics of the...
