HID Lighting Falcon HID HID Lighting Effect

Advantages: Great price, great looks, great sound!
Disadvantages: Not the one if you want to do high fingerboard solos

...with a nice Rosewood fingerboard (where the strings run between the main body of the guitar and Machine heads). It looks nicely proportioned - but it doesn't have a cut out in the body. Impressions: Excellent choice for a novice player, adult or child, and it is also a great guitar for the more experienced player just to hump about with you when you want something to pull out and play at a party or something similar. It has nice steel strings which give it a nice acoustic rock sound, and the strings that are supplied are light gauge, allowing for slightly more give and tolerance if like me you aren't the greatest player.

...This bass amp is tremendous fun if you simply want to play for sheer enjoyment, jamming with friends and trying out different effects, as well as being able to load midi files (backing tracks and so on) from the web and play / practise with them. It is not the cheapest 30 watt kick-back amp around, but it is packed with features and can "model" a host of different amp systems and styles, from valve amps to huge stacks, as well as add a wealth of effects (echo, fuzz, reverb and so on). Its also good for small gigs and, hey, you can always add another speaker cabinet if you need to. Its light and portable enough to take almost anywhere...me? I've really enjoyed owning one and would recommend it to anyone who fits the criteria I outlined above.... Read review
