This morning I have also bought a piece of equipment that I can afford and hopefully it will do the job but I would have liked something way better.
The shop salesman also tried to get me to pay for something better quality but I'm taking a risk - http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/F1220A.aspx
If it does the job then I'll buy 2 more.

It looks like I'm buying 2 more - very impressed :)
For something that cost £150 it looks the business and sounds ..... well it sounds like what a monitor speaker should sound like.
The Feedback control is a useful feature which enabled my vocals to go way louder.
Now to see how long before it breaks down.

Ordered from here tuesday night and it came at 7:45 this morning :eek:- http://www.prolineaudio.co.uk/
I don't really like recommending Behringer, it's like recommending Amstrad & Alba but hopefully the quality is better now.

i'll hold off for the time being then, we have 2 cheapo monitors (wedge shaped) but they sound brilliant.

we run our pa as normal, with 2 x Peavey HiSy4's as full range, powered through a Peavey 2800 amp, then 2 x Yamaha 12" Tops powered through a second peavey 2800 amp. (comes out the desk and through a graphic eq, to filter all the low end frequencies out) from the desk we send 2 Aux's to Lines on 2 seperate channels on a 600 watt powered soundcraft desk, which has built in effects, and eq/graphic so we have maximum control over our Monitors! very good setup!
 
Well I've been meaning post this for a while. Had it a few months, plays beautifully (after I put a fresh set of strings on and set it up properly) and now I've just knocked a chunk of out it. :/

Yeah it's a Fender. Just a MIM though, and I'm not someone who owns guitars for their resale value, so it's not the end of the world.

I just went to put it down on my bed and banged it into my acoustic that was there. Wasn't even a particularly hard knock. :/

Weird thing is, the thin, hollow acoustic hasn't got a mark on it. :D



Dunno if I should bother trying to stick the piece back on or not?

You can buy both these clone guitars.
I think the Beck one costs about £30,000 because only 10 were made.
The Strummer one goes for about £700.

Jeff Beck's

The guitarist in my other band Mistreated also plays in Testify and if you look at the pictures you can see that he made his own SRV guitar to a very high spec.
He mulled over pictures and sourced 'original' parts.
He pulls the guitar out when we do the SRV and Hendrix tunes.
 
Well yup, I decided to sell the Orange Rockerverb 50 for £880 and buy this for £550. It is MINT condition :) I'll be spending my leftover cash on a Fender Deluxe Stratocaster

I've only played around with it for 2 or so hours so far and I can already tell I prefer it to my Orange, it's not necessarily a better amp, it's just voiced a lot more to my preferences. Saying that I prefer the clean channel to my Orange, the cleans are just incredible.

I am considering selling my Fulltone OCD V.3 now as well, have no use for it with this amp.

The lead channel is to die for as well. I've also found a great SRV like tone!

Now I've just got to find an AC\DC / Indie tone and I'm good to go.

Oh my god! You are truly one of a kind :o :D

You had the orange for ~2 months, made a loss the equivalent of my last amp, and have bought another one and plan to by another guitar - despite having one on order that isn't finished :eek:

You'll have to excuse the terrible pictures, I am probably the worst photographer in the world.
