I've got two tele's, a Fender Japan '71 Reissue with single coils and a Mexican Classic Player Thinline Deluxe with Fender Humbuckers and I absolutely love both of them. I've also got a Classic 60's Strat that I play alot less since since buying the Tele's! I know I'm in the minority but in my opionion Leo got it right first time!
I think I'm right in saying that Fender make all of their guitars with both single coils and humbuckers or variations of both these days!

The Melody Makers are Gibsons budget lines JJJ. You know the score, get 'em into the brand young. I've not played one and I've not heard of Gibson having any problems with quality over here.
Jerry
Man, I see this is an old track, and I'm repeating myself.
Worth repeating though Jerome, great choices
Jerry
This weekend I shall mostly be celebrating our wonderful Queens 60th year on the throne. Monday and Tuesday are bank holidays, there are parties everywhere, gigs everywhere and the weather's set fair. This will be a great weekend in the UK.

Since I've been lovin' You and Gallows Pole from Led 3 are my favourite Led tracks and I love Hot Dog from In Through the Out Door, Stairway is a great track but it's become overexposed.
Jerry
I've got a Takamine EG523SC. Set up from the factory was frankly crap but after a decent set up it's a great guitar. Good tone, lovely finish, very good on board electrics. If you want it, have it, you only live once!
Jerry
There's some great stuff here, Eric Bogle is brilliantly depressing, Leaving Nancy and Green Fields of France can be added to Waltzing Matilda but I love Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou but then I love pretty much everything by Emmylou.
Jerry
Anything by Leonard Cohen, but that doesn't stop him being great!

Anvil: The Story of Anvil is hilarious http://www.amazon.co.uk/Anvil-Story-Ste … amp;sr=1-1
Hammer of the Gods: Led Zeppelin Unauthorised is superb http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hammer-Gods-Led … amp;sr=1-1
Stevie Ray Vaughan: Caught in the Crossfire is superb http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stevie-Ray-Vaug … amp;sr=1-5
John Lennon: The Life is one of the best books I've read http://www.amazon.co.uk/John-Lennon-Lif … amp;sr=1-1

I'd go back and listen to Jesus giving the Sermon on the Mount. That would be pretty cool.
Hanging with Da Vinci would be amazing.
Then it would have to be the 1966 World Cup Final, (I know we harp on about it but I'd love to have been there).
The Isle of Man TT showdown between Agostini and Hailwood, or Hailwood's comeback TT win after being retired for 10 years!
Then it would be the Isle of Wight festival in 1970 to see Hendrix play live.
Then I'd call in on Bill Gates in around 1980 and give him a few quid to help with his idea for computers. That should leave me with enough money to buy my own island today, maybe Hawaii!
Jerry
Well, it's my 50th in three weeks so I'm sure we'll be doing something for that.
Then in June I'm off to Scotland with a couple of mates for 5 days for the British Superbike racing at Knockhill.
At the moment we're going through the proocess off buying a little cottage in the Brecon Beacons in Wales so we've got a couple of weeks put aside for moving as well, hopefully in July.
August and me and SWMBO are taking the bikes over to France to stay with friends for a week.
In September I have a big bike weekend away in Wales with a load of other members from London Advanced Motorcyclists.
So plenty to keep me amused over the coming months.
Jerry
Welcome Jethro, enjoy the forum!

Fishman are about the best.

ELO's greatest hits. Great band, great songs and hugely underated. Bev Bevans Slingerland drums sound awesome.

The French, despite their peculiarities with cars and aircraft, have managed to perfect almost every aspect of the culinary arts.
Although sadly Parisiens have yet to even consider the joys of customer service. And their Government are coming up with the most ludicrous traffic laws you can imagine. Got a motorcycle made earlier than 2004? From July you won't be able to take it into the centre of town and it will also be illegal to travel in France without carrying a breathyliser, (Yes, YOU have to carry it, not the police). Failure to carry said item will result in an on the spot fine. If you don't have the money the police will drive you to an ATM to get it, and if you still can't get it they'll impound your vehicle. They are also making filtering, (I think you guys call it lane splitting), illegal.
About 3 weeks ago 90,000 French bikers bought the country to a standstill in protest at their Governments draconian approach to my favourite form of transport. That's one thing you have to hand to the French, when they don't like something they make a fuss about it.
I love the French for their peculiarities and, at the same time, can't stand them for their arrogance.
As an additional aside to Jerome's comment about French food, I think the Italians produce FAR better food than some of the slop I've been served up all over France and the Belgians produce far and away the best, and most varied, lagers in Europe with us Brits winning the Ale event by a country mile. The French might just produce the best wine but even that's arguable, there are some great Italian and Spanish wines and outside of Europe, the good ole USA gives them a run for their money as do the Aussies, the South Africans and several South American wines! It's only the French that believe they produce the best of everything!

Today we lost somebody who truly shaped popular culture. Legions of musicians have Jim Marshall to thanks for their sound. RIP Jim
Jerry
Go and listen to 'Masterplan' if you want a great Oasis song.
Beautiful one that.
Great shout
Jerry
MB, I don't know how old you are, but it makes me feel old by how you described your dad telling you about the song. I don't particularly care for it, but Wonderwall is on everyone's easy play list I think. I don't know if Oasis has anything out in recent years. The Gallagher brothers are notorious for having spats and braking up the band.
The Gallaghers made some great music with Oasis, even if they did steal every riff the Beatles ever came up with. Noel quit the band after a huge bust up in Paris in 2010. He set up his own band, The High Flying Birds, and they're a great band. They're actually starting a world tour next month kicking off in the US in Milwaukee.
Liam and the rest of band have carried on recording under the name Beady Eye.
Jerry
RIP Earl, the man who made me want to chase chickens with Foggy Mountain Breakdown. Legend!

I'm in

We're not allowed it in the UK 
It's a bloody joke really.

Hi Jim
I'm with Joey on this something is acting as an aerial and it's probably a badly insulated lead. My father in law was an electrical engineer until he retired, I'll give him a buzz later on today and get his view and let you know what he thinks.

But try as many as you can

I just checked that out! Man the mini stack is the schiznizzel. Where was that stuff when I was 16????? The combo is kick butt also,,,,,, I will say that the Bugera was only around 140 when I got it. It was brand new on a special deal. Its now 190 and only has a 8 in speaker. OH but the 8 incher can get it going!
I need to get an external cab for it, a 12 would open it up even more. Iwas thinking of wireing it inline to my GMX112. It has the speaker out jack but they warn only to use audio cable and not a guitar cable. Any thoughts on this? (sorry sorta hijacked thread.)

Blackstar were only set up a few years ago by some ex Marshall guys. I've got the HT5R and I have to say their stuff is really creating a buzz over here, from the tiny HT1, which is amazing, to the Artisan range their stuff is just awesome.
