Are you sure that the Stagg is electro? That pickup looks more like a magnetice one than a piezo one.

I always find the action on a Martin high and stiff, although there's not much that matches them for sound.  The pricier Takamines are well worth a look, Bill, ie. £600+.

Billy, the best Martin sounding guitars I have tried are the high end freshmans which are beautiful but also Guild Dreadnoughts. Infact really I think  Guild are almost on a par with their own quality and not rediculously priced.

To be honest we could name drop a thousand guitars and you wont know any better till you go out and try them. It's to everyones taste. Matt R from Union Circus lovs his Larivee but their neck is a little too wide for me. Taylors are too clinically good if you know what I mean as are some martins, although some martins have a naughtiness about them which attracts me i.e. their depth of bass is going to give the sound egineer something to sweat over. If budget is an issue though you don't need to despair as there are some great guitars out there. My main guitar now is a low end Takemine and it is lovely. It really does play like a £800 guitar.

Well, I guess it was bound to happen. I haven't been able to spend enough time playing my drums, so feel that the space in our bedroom could be better utilised.

And we could do with a bit of extra money.

So, rather than slap it up on eBay, I thought I'd put it here first, in case anyone is keen to take up the drums, or just wants a really good set of electric drums that sound just like the real thing.

They are Roland TD6K drums (the "K", I think means it can use dual triggers) with all rubber pads, except for the snare which is an 8" mesh pad with rimshot. There is also a Premier kick pedal, a hi-hat pedal and a professional mesh drum stool. This would normally sell for about a grand (http://www.4-drums.co.uk/acatalog/Electronic_Kits.html) not including the stool. Oh, and I'll chuck in a few pairs of nylon tip drumsticks too.

It's in mint condition, but you'll need to pick it up from Essex if you want it (in exceptional circumstances I might be able to deliver). Any reasonable offers, please let me know.

Just found out it's a Yamaha DSM100 stool worth £130 !

(http://instruments2go.co.uk/Yamaha-DSM100-Drum-Stool-p-3033.html)

I could probably sell them separately at a push.

I am looking out for an english concertina.. new or old.. one thats been in an attic for 20 years would be ideal  Grin

If anyone has one or knows someone who does, and would like to sell, please let me know!

An english concertina has a little thumb strap (not a full hand strap - thats an anglo concertina), a metal plate for the little finger and quite often a large number of buttons on both sides.  It may have wood or metal ends.

Thanks!

If you do find one in a bit of a sorry state, send it to Theo Gibb, he does brilliant repair jobs.

Before they go on eBay I'm selling a four piece Sonor Force 3007 kit, no snare. It's in excellent nick, sounds very nice is all maple and has served me well. After yesterday's craziness I am selling to raise funds to keep the wolves from Barclaycard at bay.

The kit comprises a 22 x 18 inch bass drum and 3 toms in a 2 up 1 down formation at 12, 13 and 16" respectively. It's honey amber coloured. Floor tom complete with legs, rack toms with bass drum mounts so it's all ready to play. Would definitely suit anyone wishing to venture into maple. Depending on where you are we could come to an arrangement about collection/delivery. I'm looking for about £325. I'll try and find a pic.

And hey, in the unlikely event that Circus Envy make it big, you can say that you've got the drum kit used to record the first album.

Cheers
