Hi. I'm in the UK and have a White 2010 big al 4SSS I'm looking to move on. I was wondering where you stand on a straight trade trade? I'm just putting it out there as I'd personally prefer an older model with some kind of figured maple, but beggars can't be choosers.

usually play it for an hour so I can feel if anything is wrong. then throw on some ernieball 45's, play around with knobs and the like till i find a setting a like. change action, pickup height, intonation. also add strap locks.

that is pure sex!

Erm, squier is owned by fender, thats why majority say squier by fender, like OLP are officially licensed produts for EBMM, and Epiphone for some gibson models. They provide cheaper versions of famous fender products. if you did a little searching http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squier...

Good idea, fortunately for me I haven't had any basses broken or whatever through post. Although, I brought a vintage ibanez blazer (strat copy) was listed on ebay as used, and the seller described what little damage there was. The original picture wasn't of great quality, but it only cost me...

I was taught bar chords are easier than open chords (open as in the route note is on the nut.) Or did I just find them easier, the girl in our band struggles like it's the hardest thing in the world and me and the lead guitarist have to show her how to play it open, or the nearest thing to open...

+1 to that +1 to getting a teacher if only just learn basic stuff. When I'm writing guitar music, the riffs and solos are 99% based on the chords and the scale of what key the song if in. I stopped having lessons a few years ago, but I'm always learning new things, I recently learned to...

I think I understand what you mean. I have a jag, and I was finding the top end twanged and poped to much (i play with a pick if that helps) and cut into the lows, when the lows weren't rumbling over the top of the mids. What I did was, change the strings to ernieball super slinkys (i just...

I feel pretty lucky, the band I'm in at the moment give total freedom to play what I want during a song (with in reason) at practice we usually cover bonkers - dizzee rascal, crap song but I love playing it, and I've changed how I play it at least 4 times, with no complaints. Band members who...

I did see them, but not that first, nice touch with the JD, are you irish btw?

it doesn't look so hot, and to me anyway doesn't look like a vintage colour RoboChrist = +1 I would choose olympic white and change the pups covers to white aswell.

So am I right to think that in most cases MIJ are of better quality than the MIA's counter parts

well its like squier do a few of fender's artist series, and pete wentz (blergh!) appears on squier's home page, in my opinion to get the fanboys spending hard cash, but I'm quite positive he use's a fender, I know it's not a big deal but the fender must be some what significantly better than...

be straight with him, tell him to learn in it, and practice it till he gets bored stupid of playing it. Also he may need some assurance about messing up on stage, it's no big deal, I mess up at least twice a song, and thats a good day, the trick is not panicking and picking it back up as soon...

the "Epic two-note chord players, with Jaguars Club." - I'll join. Does he not change the bridge pickup? I can't just us the bridge pickup, the treble takes over the boom of the low end too much.
