    Awesome and very impressive for the price! (That I have guessed based on UK equivalents)

    Is that an Ebony fretboard? Looks very dark.

    That Korg video is amazing. Basically what got that YouTube channel off the ground

    There a German company who build out of Germany & Croatia but quality wise you get your £5000 Les Paul for less than £2000. Some of the studios sound great tbh

    Yep it was $2 to the £ at the time. Also I think Gibson’s quality control has gone very down hill in the last few years. I’ve watched Troglys guitar show on YouTube where he’s playing £5000 Gibson’s that came with finish blemishes.It’s very telling you can get a 2015 Les Paul junior for about £500. Very badly made & unless put through the mill by a proper luthier utter shite. If I was buying a Les Paul type these days I’d go for a Maybach.

    Yeh there’s always something I’ve got my eye on but it feels like a bit of a waste of money because I know unless I spend an absolute fortune it won’t be as good as what I’ve already got. Guitars have practically doubled in price since I bought those two. The same Les Paul I got for £999 in 2005 is £2000 now and mine has a £300 pair of upgraded pickups in. It’s insane

    Apart from sudden whims of “I’m definitely gonna buy it” I’m fairly settled on my Les Paul & Strat with a few other guitars occasionally getting a look in.

    Yeh - I think I’m definitely in the same camp as you. Gear has definitely got better. Even the cheap guitars are decent enough. I got my sister a Squier Mustang for Christmas a couple of years back and it’s a great piece of kit. It was £110 and the neck is glorious. Also the higher end Squiers are easily as good as Mexican fenders were when I was growing up. If not better. Btw I hate trying stuff in shops

    He occasionally pops up. Their YouTube is still canny enough but I liked it more when they were objective and would criticise things a bit. Im not sure if it the products have got better or if they’re under the influence of company dollar. I suppose both are as likely as each other

    Yes I’m to blame for that because I specified £799 - more a dig at Andertons who are fucking stupid when it comes to talking about value

    Waza Air Review - Short version, these things are the absolute tits. So I got em yesterday and the first thing I had to do was the charge the receiver, which was annoying. However the headphones had a decent charge so I had a play about with them and hoyed some tunes on. They are ridiculously loud but high quality for listening to music. I had to go out and by the time I got back they were charged so I grabbed a can and plugged them in. Fuck Me. It's a very weird sensation, it really does mimic the feel of a loud amp in a room perfectly, in fact it's unsettling because I have neighbours and it feels like I'm stood in front of a Marshall stack. The stage mode feels like I'm stood on a stage with one key difference - you can hear everything properly. The tones and FX, reverb/ambience etc are fantastic. Not quite as good as what I get out of the amp but after a while it's more immersive. I'm often cautions when I watch reviews and the lads at Andertons are like 'WOW THIS IS MINDBLOWING & for just £799!' because it's seldom objective. However my first reaction to playing these was literally blurting out 'Fuccccckk'. They're pretty incredible. It feels like an amp and reacts like an amp, it's not like headphones which is weird. After a few beers I was shredding over some backing tracks like I was at woodstock or something. It's super immersive, you really lose yourself in it in a way you can't really do with an amp at home. Very impressive bit of kit and a lifesaver for the neighbours.
  16. Oh yeh it’s absolutely mental. Completely crazy stuff. On one hand he’s calling Ukraine “Nazis” on the other he’s talking about “a natural cleansing of his people”.
  17. They’re all wearing that weird Z. I mean, c’mon that’s comic book Nazi stuff.
  18. Terrifying thread 😳
  19. It’s probably for the best tbh 🤷🏻‍♂️
