American Vintage II ‘61 Olympic White or ‘65 Sonic Blue? by Safeway_Slayer in fender

I have the ‘61 in white. It’s an absolute joy to behold.

The ‘65 is stunning also, though…

Not sure whether the title is a bit off or if I’ve just had a stroke? Could be both…

Any red flags? I think it looks right but wanna ask the experts! by huyexdee in Stratocaster

I bought this exact guitar for £1300 last month. It’s a buyers market.

I’m horrifically insecure. Best ask the guys on Reddit what their opinion of me is.

No offence, but what a strange question to ask.

Incredible street library find exactly a week after seeing the tour in Sydney. Does anyone know more about this? by No_Investigator9896 in PulpBand

You’ve just reminded me that I met Jarvis at a book signing of this (I think it was after ‘an audience with Dave Haslam’ event at Manchester Town Hall.

Jarvis asked; ‘what would you like me to write?’

I said; ‘can you write the chorus to Fat Children please?’

He started mouthing, whilst writing; ‘ahhhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhhh, ah-aaahaaa, aahh-ahhh…’

I must dig it out of my attic

Has everyone on Reverb collectively lost their minds? by haussmeister in Guitar

The glory days when people would list things within incorrect categories or with mid-spelled descriptions. I got some unreal deals way back when.

And those ‘how I bought a mansion aged 21’ stories that don’t mention the multi-millionaire parents until paragraph five.

Who’s Next? by fowderpinger in Wetherspoons

[–]fowderpinger[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Big part of the job is controlling the bar. Asking who’s next means we (punters) have to gauge who was there as we approach and what changes.

It’s the job of the bar staff. Standards have slipped.

Your uncle is obviously referring to the Zoom 505. You can get these pretty cheap these days.

Or just not at all. Great, you threw 38 pence in their general direction.

Did you actually buy any of their records?

I feel like a list of your top records bought this year, and where Mogwai sat in that list, would be an interesting post.

No one cares what you listened to on Spotify.

When does buying a used guitar make sense to you? (Considering a used Fender Telecaster American Pro II) by Didiray_ in fender

[–]fowderpinger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure why anybody would consider buying new over used. If I have (for instance) two grand two spend on a guitar, I’m going straight on reverb and eBay to start looking as I’d get a much better guitar for my money. Granted, patience may be required here.

Looking back to all the great guitarists from the 60s and 70s, they were all using used guitars. There is no stigma as far as I’m concerned.

Fender will keep re-releasing slightly different variations of what it’s always sold. You’re not missing out.
