Hey guys,

I want to post a review about my Epiphone 339 pro but the HC user review site is a complete mess and hardly usable since it was "upgraded" IMO. Are there any good (rather) independent website you would recommend ?

Thanks

Manny

Not Musician's Friend. Those guys censor bad reviews.

Amazon is the only one I know of that is widely used and also allows negative reviews to be posted without interference.

Amps: Fender Champion 110 w/Lil' Buddy • Fender Princeton 112 Plus w/Red White and Blues • Crate Palomino V8 w/Mod 10-70

Truth. I posted a completely honest review about a terrible product, and they did not post the review. It was the only review for that product, and it did not include any profanity or otherwise unprofessional language. It would likely have deterred potential buyers, however, so the review did not stand on the site.

The HC reviews used to be top dog. Almost every piece of current gear, proper review structure... but the upgrade (almost a decade ago now!) just fucked it completely.

You can still post reviews. I posted a few the other day. You need to log in to HC which is a different site than here. It's still easy to post a review.

They approved my reviews really fast. Because I am so respected.

I haev asked in several forums about the user  reviews, also complaining about the last "improvement" that we all loved sooooomuch.  How do I access them again?  Every time they try to improve this site it sucks more than it did before, I was just getting used to the clumsy version 2.0 and now here we go again.

Telecasters!!!!!!!

"Wherever you go, there you are."

Gear:
Squier Tele (MIK)with extras
Squier Strat (MIJ) with extras
Gold-Top Tele-parts-o-caster - now belongs to my son
SX Tele - vintage greenish-white
Vox AD50VT
Zoom GFX-1 and some old pedals
-Daddy-O, Compressor, Ibanez Analog Delay(old) etc.

You could post reviews on Audiofanzine, they are not censored.
