[groovy_hippy]

I’m about 10 mins away....what do you need?

 

[M1k3yC]

I'm about 25 miles away. I know bits about the areas south and west of Burton, e.g. Lichfield. So it depends what you're asking.

I’m near Loughborough, around 30 miles or 40 minutes away to the east of Burton.

Yes Tim, I thought so, but it could have been taken either way

I was over in Burton a few months ago, visiting a great guitar shop called Guitar Superstore. Huge stock, friendly staff, I ended up with a new PRS which is now my pride and joy . How's things with your Rickenbacker Tim?

Hi John, yes I know the place well, I bought a Fender Amp from there a while back but sold it to fund the Vox AC30. Getting on well with the Rickenbacker thanks, it's definitely a rhythm guitar rather than for riffs as the neck is quite narrow. I've got an eye on a Gretch Streamliner or maybe a Telecaster as they sound good through the Vox

Good call on the PRS

Tim.

It’s a Marmite sort of a town. Well somebody had to say it!

I'm circa 4 or 5 miles, from the town centre - far enough away from the aromas of the Marmite; Beer & other manufacturing sites

PM'd you ibeasniper

Glad to hear it .
As with most parts of the country there are bad areas & good areas, it'll be difficult for anyone on here to recommend one area over another tbh as everyone will have a different opinion. It really depends on what you're looking for :? . I've never lived in BoT but I do like the town, it has a nice feel to it imho. Yep, the smell from the brewery can be quite overpowering at times & that's just when you drive past on the A38 :lol: . Something you'd get used to if you lived with it day in, day out I guess. There are some lovely villages nearby if thats more your style. Is it work that's driving you to the area?
