Squier Releases Deluxe Series Strats & Jazz Bass Active V

4. March 2008

OK, last time I mentioned Squier on this blog I absentmindedly referred to their instruments as “beginner’s guitars,” which turned out to be a really bad idea––I got an earful from some very rabid Squier fans! Hehe… my apologies, I promise not to make that mistake again ;) Anyways, today Squier announced what appears to [...]

Cool… I’ve been ever-so-patiently keeping my eyes peeled for a decent hands-on review of the Thunderverb 200 ever since Orange first announced its release over a year ago, but finding much in the way of an in-depth review has been difficult at best. It looks like my wait is over though, because the lucky folks [...]
