    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    lol, touche! 
    But why pay more than you need to for something? And most places seem to be out of stock until May at the moment.

    I know, makes you wonder where its coming from.

    Gear4music is only down the road from me so I could just wait till they get some back in stock.
    Thought it would be worth trying on here first though as looking through some of the older threads there was a time when quite a few people bought them.

    Thanks for the offer, but as my youngest is only 1year old I see enough fecal matter as it is!

    I had the Bad Monkey and really didn't get what all the fuss was about (maybe it was my amp). The cost of the CM-2 dropped massively so I picked one up and for a time, had both the Bad Monkey and the CM-2. It was a very short time because the CM-2 sounded so much better. I know it's a cliché, but it was like taking a blanket off the amp. The CM-2 also has a switch to select between classic and modern modes, giving you a much broader spread of gain from light breakup to fairly heavy crunch.

    The new price on them seems to have climbed back up a bit now (around £45) but you should be able to pick up a used one for low to mid twenties..

    Actually I was going to start another thread on that as I've saved up enough for a new 0.75mm thick plectrum but I'm not sure if it's better value for money to go with a used 1.5mm one. But then I read that tone is all in the fingers and I'm not sure how a plectrum fits in to that - talk about inner turmoil.

    I've got a virtually new one you can have for £20 delivered. I only bought it to see what the fuss was about, but have got too many pedals and am starting a cull. Most UK retailers don't seem to have any in stock, and their prices of course exclude delivery.
