Yep, but I like things that are off balance, design that throws the eye and irregularities.

In the spirit of WGD...Honest to god, if all my guitars were like this R8, I'd be a happy man. What a lovely thing to play and listen to, it sounds gorgeous to my ears and plays beautifully. And the smell, fuck me, that smell! ha.

Excuse the shoddy late nght noodling, but had to share because this guitar is great.

Beautiful tones there. Splendid bit of playing mate. What amp was the kemper using?

Thank you @terada, very much appreciated, mate. It's an AC30 profile from MBritt. Kemper is hands down the best piece of gear I've ever bought.

Well it's got me thinking about Vox now  

Do you find the Kemper to be the sort of amp you need to keep tweaking? I more the sort that likes to just plug in and go.

Difference is that the Kemper is manageable at bedroom volume. Both sound great. I'm a plug and play guy too, once I find my favourite profiles, I tweak only a few familiar parameters that I know will make the profile sound better and then I'm done. I follow the same pattern each time I try a profile I like. Happy to answer any questions you have via PM or on the Kemper thread mate...as I'm sure plenty of other will be happy to help too :-) I was a massive tube amp player for a long time, I'll never go back now I've had the flexibility and features of the Kemper.

I think this might be the second most expensive comment I’ve read on any forum after the ‘R8s are going for £2,5k new’...

I think I need to try one out

Worryingly, so do I. Thanks @Jonathanthomas83 ;

Jonathanthomas83

Ha, no problem, both. Happy to oblige! ;-)

What a waste of an R8, you've got to rock the shit out of that thing!



I kid, I kid! Nice bit of playing mate. Really glad you're liking it.

@zepp76 ha, thanks mate!

I'm willing to bet @Jonathanthomas83 has a better relationship with his neighbours than I do

Not sure they'd agree! Haha.

Best upgrade you can make for your setup is the room and a detached house!

Did anybody buy one of the 2 tobacco R8s that went in this sale? Im seriously gassing a Tobacco R8 with R9 neck profile.

The peach tobacco went earlier in this thread to someone here. 

I myself am eyeing them up, but not sure what the finish is like in person 

Jonathanthomas83

I remember now, we should convince them it's definitely worth selling.

Did anyone buy the unique looking Dirty Lemon that Peach posted yesterday then? I see we've had no update on it so I assume it's been sold...

I was assuming people are waiting for this, but perhaps it is sold:

Is that still there ?

It is. I’ll get it online with a temporary pic tomorrow and put a private link on here, so it doesn’t show on the front page of the site.

Don't hold your breath waiting for a link, someone has managed to push Peach over the edge and they've left the building

See Off Topic ...

Oh.


Well that sucks

Twinfan

Totally. I hope the idiot who drove John and the team away is now satisfied.

Cols

I’m sure whoever’s responsible will be identified, and they won’t bounce on their way out of the forum.

Lebarque

FFS. How did that happen re. Peach? How do I find Off Topic?

kswilson89

So has the whole £2499 R8 thing ended now or is there likely to be more on the way? (i.e. at the end of October when I can actually afford one).

Jonathanthomas83

Taken the edge off it for me, tbh. I was getting excited about Peach posting further deals. It's brought a new and very real lease of life to this forum recently and I've caught the bug along with many others. Peach fellas, if you're reading this, we're not all a bunch of twats, I promise.
