  VOX youtube review here

  
  Hi Clitterbagu , Just Awoke And Had To Check On Your Thread , Well Mate Just Had A Look N Listen To The Vox Mini 5 Rythm, 
  Simply WOW Very Encouraging Mate , So Versatile -Extreme Low Watt Reduction , Looks Like I'll Have To Have One Of These Little Beauties , So Portable , You Know That " You Are Spending My Yen Mate " Don't You , Mrs Jester Will Be Pleased ,Lmao.
  
  After Seeing You Fathers Hofner - You Got Me Thinking - A Trip Down Memory Lane Was In Order , As You Recall I Had Got Myself An LP Rec Model - I Began Experimenting With It , I Could Create All Kinds Of Futuristic Sounds And All Of The Then Sounds Of The Day Too ,But I Was Looking For Some Thing Else Too But I Couldn't Put My Finger On It .
  
   But Then I Had Heard That A Company WEM , Do You Know The Logo? . Well It Was "Watkins Electric Music" .
  They Manufactured -Amps, Combo Speaker Amps, Heads And Guitars. Well A Little " Bird " LOL ,  Told Me To Check Them Out Because They Were Hitting The Scene With A New Revolutionary Distinct Creative Sound System, So Checked Them Out.
  They Had Produced A Range Of Hard Tape Copycat Devices , None Of The Sheffield Guitar Shops Had The One I Wanted , 
  So I Had To Head Over To The "Land Of Your Remarkable Birth " Liverpool" , There Was A Music Shop Called "Hessys" Do You Know Of It ?     WEM Were Producing The " Custom Copicat MK iV "  A Transistorised Updated Version Of The Valve Units Prior In The Mid 70's , So Whilst I Was There I Bought One £55 Along With A WEM Rapier Deluxe Guitar With a Tremelo Arm Fitted For Around £36 
   And A WEM Sapphire 100 Amp £45 ,An Expensive Trip Then But Certainly Worth Every Penny. (The Neighbours Not Withstanding Of Course When I Got Back lol)     
  Soon After I Upgraded The Amp To A WEM Monitor Reverb 50 Watt Combo. At A Later Date I Ordered A WEM Mersey Super 15 
  But It Never Arrived  I Lost Out A Great Deal Of Money " I Blamed It On Yorkshire Bank At The Time Not Hessys " Never Mind.
  In The 80's I Changed To The H&H Solid State Amps And Marshall Speakers " H&H S500D 250/Channel . 
  Very Load Might I Add ,lol , But Great When On Stage I Didn't Mind , Neither The Audience .
  Since Then My Collection Has Changed A Bit , Especially The "Foot Board " Too Many O Name . 
  A Myriad Of Foot Set Ups , To Prevent Clashes Of Course , And Most Importantly " Clean Sounds" 
  
  Regarding Amps , I Now Use An "A.C.30 Custom Series " And Two Carr Amps " The Viceroy 1x12" & "The Sportsman Combo 1x10"
  And Soon To Be Using The " Clitterbagu Special  - Vox Mini 5 Rythm " Cheers Mate lol.
  Clitterbagu , I Bring To Your Attention The " TOKAI GUITAR COMPANY OF JAPAN" 
  If You Have Not Tried A Tokai Then "NOWS THE TIME "  Inexpensive £300 To £4000 , You Can Not Beat Them On Technical Excellence Or Price , They Put The American Markets To Shame , 
  I Have The Following Tokai Guitars : 
  Tokai Stratocaster Mary Kaye ST50a (2010) - Tokai Telecaster "Breezysound" (2011) -Tokai LS1-R8 Les Paul Reborn (2012) 
  Tokai LS2-GT Les Paul Reborn Old (2012) 
  And One Of My Finest Thanks To "Mrs Jester And Her Extended Influence" 
  A Tokai  LS95W-CBBN Geoff Beck Model Limited Run , 
  
  I Have A 3 Tokai  USG Models " USG100 " USG 90 " USG 85" All Incredible In There Own Right 
  And The Tokai SG Standard 
  Clitterbagu The Tokai's Are Incredible My Friend , Old Vintage Are The Best But The New LP's Are Just "Well" I'm Speechless , 
  Things Can Only Get Better . They Out Do The American LP's That's For Sure And I'm Not Being Biased In This Understanding, 
  Try Them Out If You Slready Have Not , What Have You To Loose , " Nowt lol " 
  A Mavelous End To This Journey Down Memory Lane -Thanks Mate.Keep Jamming.
  Chat Soon Mate Regards Jester

  Yeah m8 I remember Hessy's and yeah I saw a guy try a WEM Copy Cat in there, he played about 20 seconds of rhythm then layed some lead over it we were well impressed. Hessy's has gone now, pity it was a great shop, you could just pick up any guitar n try it the guys in there were dead easy about it.
  Kinel you got some serious kit there, you could open your own branch of Hessy's.
  Yeah ive heard of Tokai a lad in a local band when we were going had a Tokai Strat and im sure one of my m8s brothers has an acoustic Tokai.
  The VOX mini 5 is well worth a buy, and well worth the money at £109 you could spend that on a few calls to Eva/Jada ect LOL

  Hi Clitterbagu , I Have Found A Company In Tokyo (KORG INC/KID) From "VOXs World Distribution Network "Info OnTheir Website.
  I Gave Them A Call And Arranged To Be There Friday , They Have Quite A Few VOX Amps So I'll Try A Few Whilst There. 
  P/s  Your Kind Introduction To The YouTube Link Video Peaked My Eye Balls Back, 
  Where I Saw The Guy Freddy De Marco Had Quite An Interesting Guitar In His Hands , 
  I'm Told It Was A VOX Virage 2 So I'll Be Trying One Of Those Out Too,lol
   Is It "Not Amazing"To Find That People Like Ourselves Can Spend Each Others Coin Without Ever Meeting , 
  By Just Having The Same " Fantastic Passion " And Passing On The Great News To All Out There. 
  It Is Appreciated Mate Too , If You Have Any More Ideas On Spending My Yen On Guitars Etc,  SHSssssss  Don't Tell The " Mrs " lol.
  Let Me Know -You Are My Eyes And Ears To The World "Bug". 
  I Can Safely Say That I Do Not Normally Have The Time To Seek Out New And Wonderous Pieces From The Guitar World, 
  But This Is A Fantatic Opportunity To Have An "Exception" - Besides Its Tokyo I Dont Go Often Enough lol.
  I Will Let You Know How I Get On.
   Sincerist Regards Jester

  Jester this is basically my musical past, after starting on my dads Hofner he gave me his Harmony Meteor, then I started getting my own gear, all second hand from shops/local paper, but all decent.
  First I got the Epiphone Cherry ive already mentioned, then
  The Applause electro acoustic, then the band got a bit more serious and I moved to bass, my first bass was the
  Aria Pro Cardinal, then
  The Hohner headless
  The Warwick Streamer
  The Yamaha BB fretless
  Had a Jay Dee aswell but cant remember what model.
  First bass amp was a battered old H&H VS bought it from Curly Music for around £75 then moved on as we got LOUDER to Peavy Mark vi 400 with 1820 cab, fuckinell m8 that could set off earthquakes!!
  Now alls ive got are the guitars I started the thread with, the Michael Kelly and the Epi Sherraton 2 great guitars though, and the Vox Mini 5.
  I bow to your collection your a lucky guy to have all that and the gorgeous little Yukio, lucky lucky guy! bastard!!! :P

  Sadly He Did Not Have The Spark Of Musical Creation In Him Either .At Least You Had A Family Back Ground In Musical Talent,
  I Respect & Honor Your Father For Passing On His "Quality Of Life" , I'm Sure Your Proud Of Him. Such A Legacy You Keep. 
  Its Worth Everything Mate And More. All Of Your Guitars And Support Equipment Are Of A Fine Quality.
  I Started With A Beat Up Spanish Acoustic From An Olde Guy Who Could Not Play Any More " Arthritis "
  The Electric Semi Acoustic Guitar Hofner Must Have Been A Wish Come True For A Young Lad You, 
  Nice To See The Basses That You Have , Simply Incredible & Terrific Sounds A Bass Makes ,
  A Band Was Only A Band With A Solid Thump Rythm Bass , I Take My Hat Off Too You ,
  Most Of The Guys I Have Known Wanted To Play Lead Not Rythm Backing,
  Your One Who Took Naturally To Playing A Bass I Take It , If So Couldn't Be Without You Mate, 
  Your An All Rounder In My Eyes , Bass , Rythm , Lead, You Can Do It All.
  I Hope One Day I May Be Able To Jam With You , Most Things Are Possible , You Never Know. 
  Thanks For Show Casing My Collection To The World lol , Fine Pics Too 
  I Have Tidied My Guitars Up Now All Ready For Your Inspection , Especially The Garage ,lol
