If he wasn’t in Oasis I’ve a feeling he’d be the sort of guy you see wandering aimlessly around UK town centres making people feel uncomfortable. The weird walk. The blankness. The random stuff he says…. You’d never be sure if he was going to try to hug you or punch you. Definitely a strange vibe.

Casper, Wyoming is looking good. I assume it’s a pretty major stop for most touring bands.

These guys hit it big when I was in my late teens. They summed up the culture in the UK for people around my age growing up in places like I did. Working class, sweary, boozey, coke-fuelled, spitting, fighting, lariness, raging egos etc - it reflected the zeitgeist in the UK at the time. Add in...

Picked one of these up the other week. It’s a good piece of kit.

This isn’t exactly on point, but for a left field alternative to the Triple Crown you could always try/pick up a Stiletto Deuce or Trident. They’re pretty affordable and if you dial in with your ears and not your eyes they are really good amps. I have a Stage I Deuce and run it with a Buxom...

Ah, RigTalk is a great but dangerous place. I’ve been scaling back on gear expenditure this year (there’s a whole bunch of stuff that’s taking priority), but I read the original post by @scottosan and a GE-10 went on the window shopping list. Sod’s Law, one turned up this week at a great price...

Great guitar - I’m in the hunt for a HSS Mirage (along with a bunch of other things I don’t actually need and shouldn’t be spending money on right now). Leave it as it is colour-wise - it’s cool.

The ones I was listening to as a teenager were: Muddy Banks of the Wishkah - Nirvana Live at Leeds - The Who Unplugged - Nirvana A Real Live One / A Real Dead One - Iron Maiden Isle of White (film) - Jimi Hendrix BBC Sessions - Led Zeppelin

Very true - even in the UK there’s a IIC+ SRGX up for sale right now and our used gear market (especially for the stuff I like) is tiny compared to the US/Canada. That said, I guess the asking price of some of these limits availability for a lot of folks. Not to say you can’t find a good deal...

I’ll predict that the majority of most favoured models will be those now out of production or subject to very limited availability. ? There’s a good chance that the second best model might be the one currently in production however…. That’s not knocking anyone’s choices, it just seems to be the...

I’ve got a Rewind Bloomfield in the neck of one LP Standard and a Rewind A4 in another. Both great. That said, for neck pickups I’ll always spend a number of days (to allow the ears to recalibrate) just playing around with pickup and pole piece heights to get everything in the spot I like them...

Great thread / info - thanks all. I guess the only piece we’re missing is how the MK I stacks up to the MK II/III. I think @DanTravis62 might have played a MK I and maybe a MK II or III….? I know @SBlue had a MK I at some point.

Also interested to hear how the amp changed from MK I to MK II to MK III. I noticed the different control layouts but would be interested in any tonal differences - eg: brighter / darker, more / less compression, more / less gain etc

Yep, I’ve just a lot less cash to spend on what (for me) is a hobby at the end of the day. Plenty of amps and guitars I’d love to own, but none I need to own - not when there are more pressing things I need to spend my money on. Hopefully things will improve soon. And I’m over in the UK - gear’s...

Happy new amp day and hats off - that’s a great collection of amps

Probably not much use as I haven’t played a JP2C or a Herbert, but I own a VH4 and a Mark IV so can comment more generally on Mark vs Diezel. Very different amps - the VH4 is stiffer, has loads of gain but is less liquid. I find the Mark IV to cut better and it has a more focussed, percussive...

Out of interest, how many people are you guys aware of on the waiting list right now? Appreciate that not everyone on the list is going to be a RigTalk member or known to one, but would be interested in how many people you collectively know who are waiting

Those palm mutes at around 30 seconds are making me want a Freyette….

Was really surprised he had to dime the Deep. I’ve never felt the need to crank the Deep on my VH4 and low end is definitely not lacking! My VH4 is only a few years old so I’m assuming its the same revision as the one in the video, but who knows. Maybe they’ve changed it a bit since.

Just saw this and was about to share but you beat me to it. Sounds great in this.
