    He's a cunt and his band are worse than The Darkness, something I never thought was possible. TC's reaction was reasonable, but I'd rather they had responded by simply adjusting his toneprint so that it sent 240v straight into anyone who tried to use it.
    You are lesbianwithagun and ICM super low hanging strap.
    I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought lesbianwithagun was back!
    We have to be so very careful, what we believe in...

    These days, everyone paints themselves as a victim. 
    What are you a victim of? 

    Here's a little story to bring a tear to your eye.
    I was shopping for a wetsuit to scuba dive
    But every suit I tried is too big around the thighs
    And the assistant suggested I try a ladies' size.

    I got hurt feelings, I got hurt feelings

    Be seeing you.

    You're missing out. His Instagram 'treborillusion' is interesting.


    The latest posts are pictures of sex shops / massage parlours in and around Soho, 'his home town'. At least he isn't playing  guitar in them.


    The last guitar related posts are a cover of Pretend We're Dead by L7, and an acoustic version of Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit in which he not only plays acoustic. He sings as well.


    I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin

    But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to

    I personally think it's hilarious. Seriously, a toggle switch for Moist or Gushing?!

    Still, not as fun as the original "drama."

    If the scenario were reversed and it was a famous female guitarist advertising a pedal called, oh I don't know, the 'Stiffy in a Jiffy' or to paraphrase @Gassage, 'The Oboe Inducer' and it had similar advertising blurb suggesting that any guys in the audience would be 'tenting' on hearing it, would anyone seriously give a flying toss? I mean really?

    Or am I missing something?

    Not like him to blow his own trumpet!
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

    You're missing something :)

    It's about power relationships/privilege/"oppressor" and "oppressee" (to use somewhat strong terms).

    The basic premise would run that because the world (guitar in this instance) is inherently sexist M>F then stuff that reinforces that is a Bad Thing. Stuff that goes the other way is probably still ill-advised, but is likely to be at worst neutral because the targets have all the "power" and so can be seen to be in on the joke, not demeaned/threatened/discouraged by it.

    Or to put it another way, in order to play the equality card you kind of have to get to the point where you do actually have a level playing field to start with.

    And of course, it wasn't Satchel's Tent Maker, was it?  So it does just add weight to something that society (or a chunk of it) has deemed to be a less-desirable thing (treating women as nothing more than sex objects).

    Unfortunately, all of that sounds quite heavy in relation to a not desperately funny puerile piece of humour, but the flip side is that it's all of the little unthinking things that go to make up a culture, and end up creating the "How come there are only a handful of known female guitarists?" situations.

    My mate Joe 90 still hasn't forgiven TC over their rack delay unit naming and has tried to sue them for plagerism for years...
