    value of golden covers?

    I was looking at the prices of SDs with golden covers, I was surprised to see a WLH neck pickup with a gold cover would cost me £159 (the bridge pickup is £129); an uncovered WLH set would cost me £209. I understand that golden screws, the cover itself, and fitting the cover are extra costs, but...

    Fender’s EQ measurements

    Bit of a long shot maybe, but does anyone know roughly how Fender’s reporting of the EQ on their pickups compares to Duncan’s? If not, does anyone know what the closest Duncans are to Fender’s Vintage Noiseless Stratocaster single coils? Thanks.

    Britpop/ Indie drive tones pedal

    This popped up on YouTube, maybe not the most up-to-date, fashionable sounds, but it seems good.

    HH in Strat - 5-way vs 3-way w/ switch

    Just wondering what people’s views were on HH Strat with splits. I was considering either: a 5-way- bridge series, bridge split, both split, neck split, neck series; or 3-way with a push-pull or toggle to split both. Thinking about a single volume pot and single (no-load?) tone pot and a...

    Hondo II Les Pauls

    I saw a couple of Hondo II Les Pauls for sale. They’re cheap and they look nice superficially, what was the construction like? One is being sold “as is/ for spares” because there’s some problem with the wiring, which doesn’t bother me because I would be happy to replace all the electronics if...

    Squier Contemporary Strats

    Has anyone played any of these? The models with two singles in the bridge, or the Floyd Rose models, I think they all have roasted maple necks?

    Would a Custom 5 work for these tones?

    So, I love the Custom, it’s awesome. But I think it and the Hybrid might be a bit too middy for some of this stuff? I found the 498t to be a little thin. What would people run in a Les Paul Doublecut (thinner body than a regular Les Paul) for these kind of tones? https://youtu.be/NkAe30aEG5c...

    Rockboard MOD units, any users?

    Has anyone used the Rockboard MOD patch units? I’m thinking about getting the MOD 1. Also, does anyone know if there are major differences between the v1 and v2? I believe an extra power-through connection, but the MOD 1 v1 had that anyway. Thanks.

    Problems cabling up a Rockboard board

    So, when I bought a board, the Rockboard ones seemed the way to go; however, I’m now finding that, due to the smaller size/ amount of holes in the top of the board, I’m having difficulty fitting patch cables in without it taking up space on top of the board. Anyone have any experience with these?

    Velcro cable ties to secure pedals

    Does anyone have experience with these? To hold pedals in place for a board that will only see light movement?
