Compulsory for members of the non-subforum, surely.

I just got a leaflet through the door promoting Newent Onion Fayre.

Thanks folks. Good value quote from Halifax.

Would anyone care to recommend a company for building and contents insurance? I'm presently with Zurich, with whom I've been very pleased, but who are leaving the market.

I'd like to cover art/bikes/instruments/jewellery under the policy, so am particularly keen to hear suggestions from anyone who has arranged this.

Thanks for the tip, just got a bargain pedal on GAG exchange.

That looks great. My interest in the Bullet was that it's HH; very different to what I have. It's missing all the switching that your wife's has too - more a Duosonic than Mustang really.

Yes. TheGuitarGeek on youtube compared the Bullet Mustang and Affinity Strat, favourably to the Bullet. They seemed to have a similar level of finish, but better quality electonics and tighter neck pocket on the Bullet.

I just tried a Squier Bullet Mustang - £109 posted for a 24" scale guitar with high output humbuckers. It's definitely a bargain, but also obvious where the money was saved: poor neck finish, some paint flaws, some cheap hardware - all fixable cheaply enough. A few reviews mention poor intonation but the one I played was fine straight out of the box.

The 12" radius neck was a surprise - I thought this demo
was hilarious, but it does feel quite shreddy! (Time link doesn't work on the embedded player - skip to 2m30s for the full effect.)

Disappointingly, the overall guitar feels like a toy compared to my 1998 CIJ Jaguar. That's a delight to play, and I don't believe this ever would be.

Same. Never had any problems with stock bridge, skinny top heavy bottom strings, Eb.

Very nice! Is this a 90s Japanese one, or are they painting headstocks again?

This rightmove advert is worth a look. Each room is differently and strongly themed, yet none dominates - very difficult to achieve this balance, but I think they've managed it.

I've got the EHX nano op amp. I love it, but Siamese dream has been my favourite album since it came out, so am deeply biased.

I've also got a Behringer SF300, which is a really good FZ-2 clone, and costs about £15, so no reason not to get one of those as well.

Neither often; a Friday afternoon jolly to Birdland.

Baritone is normally A or B standard tuning. Playing Kyuss suggests this might be in C.

Brilliant, I'm a big fan of Earthless and this pedal.

He's just announced he's playing at The Ends festival, Croydon in June.

Kamaal Williams is playing a Bristol show with Madlib in August too.

Also his twitter.

Alfa Mist's playing in May.

£50 banger fun

Mine was a £100 1992 Rover Metro. Nothing banger about it though, it was great.

I've taken the leap - got a RockBoard Rechargeable Power Station LT XL, recommended by a friend. Yet to get a board, but doubtless it's in my future.

I just got my first pedal which doesn't take a 9V battery. Is there any reason I should start to run them all on a power supply rather than get a single one?

Just saw Flying Lotus' new 3D audiovisual show. It was very good, would definitely recommend. He's in London tomorrow (Saturday) with Thundercat, Gilles Peterson and others.

Agreed. Love the SRPC91K1 turtle, but not those.

I've seen a few anniversary shows of differing quality. Therapy?'s 10th anniversary show was very good, though continuing their original popularity rather than nostalgic. Sonic Youth performing Daydream Nation and My Bloody Valentine performing Loveless were both excellent. Danzig's 25th anniversary show was good but reliant on nostalgia. UK Subs' 40th anniversary show was pretty awful.
