Actually I got the amp a while ago from Raulduke, but didn't get around to posting about it. It's an Orange OR15 and looks something like this:

It's a bit of a one trick pony, but neither of my other amps do that trick (ie full-on, balls to the wall, rock/doom/stoner), so I'm liking it a lot and suspect it might be a keeper. Even has a decent loop on it which is nice as at higher gain settings it's a bit noisy (they're known for it), so I've stuck a gate in there. Smashing. Also it doesn't like pedals on the front of it so much, but seeing as it can do what you want it to on board, it doesn't really matter.
The guitar came yesterday so I haven't had much time with it. It was a special on at Coda and I snagged a Pawn Shop Mustang Special for £300! Which is crazy money. Someone looked into it and it seems Fender had an offer on for dealers on some models of buy 6 get 6 free. Coda were particularly cool about it though and passed that straight on to the buyer, where as others have them at a bit more cash. The Jaguarillo was particularly cheap at £250!
Anyhow, it's minty fresh as expected and will become a target for some tasteful moddage (will sort the back of the neck out and fit some new electronics). Light as a feather too.

Them's some tasty acquisitions, John :)
Although a Brit talking Orange Amps always puts me in mind of John Chambers. His website is truly fascination (especially the "Work Done" section.)
Nice!
It's a great little amp, I love mine.

I Did a google search for John Chambers out of curiosity but I'm not finding anything that seems related.. what website is this?
Anyway, Here is my little one trick pony ;)

Flick back to work undertaken for a really entertaining list :)
Nice Gears man!
Congrats
Nice score mate :) What's the deal with the back of the neck that needs fixing ?
Now that is a rockin' combo. Nice scores! 8)

Standard Mexi finish, I just find it 'sticky' for want of a better expression. When I take it apart to mod it, I'll let Cleggy work his magic. Don't know exactly what he does, but essentially he lightly sands the back of the neck to a satin/smooooth finish. I've had him do this on all my Fender necks that suffer from this particular affliction.
Also just had the info that the pups have been made ;) No idea what they're going to do in here, but the bridge pup is a 70's Super Distortion replica and the neck is an approximation of my favourite neck pup made to match (Cold Sweat). Itching to get my hands on those and get modding.
Yeah, I'd like to see what you do that Mustang. I am a long-time player of an unmodded MIJ Mustang from the '90s. I am finally thinking about modding it. I've often thought about just trading it in for a Strat or Tele but with small-ish hands and not being that tall, somehow it works for me. Anyway, these Pawn Shop versions caught my eye for sure, so let me know how it goes.
Nice score! Are those Mustangs short scale?
Cool gear, goodie score! 8)
Love that amp! I'd rather say they do THE trick.
I love your stuff.
Give us a report on those pickups.
Are they humbuckery or something else?
Think of us next time you hit an open a chord and let it decay.
I got a Pawn Shop Jaguar last year with P90s and a stop tail and it's been a really decent guitar. I haven't changed a thing on it yet and it gets played far more than the other guitars I leave at work.

Tru-oil is fairly decent (you'll need to find a hunting and fishing shop though.) Don't bother with synthetic 0000 wool though, it's garbage. Steel wool :)

Humbuckery (and then some). Need to either make a small bracket so I can fit them with 3 screws or get some pup rings. Will decide which way to go when they get here (should arrive monday/tues). I'm also going to re-wire the switching to do parallel/series/split for each pup as opposed to as it is now (south/both/north).

I'm really liking the size, weight and aesthetics of it. Never considered one before, but I'm really liking it.
Nice grabs! Can't wait to have your opinion on the SuperDist you're getting, love that pickup!
