    Agreed. If you look at high end violins, on which the flamed maple arched backs are hand carved and (almost invariably) book-matched, you'll see exactly the same

    I would recommend this unit too. I have one and it's very easy to use, works like a selection of stomp boxes if you leave it in manual mode, no need to hook it up to a computer to unleash its potential. There's one for sale on here right now for a good price too.

    Well enjoy the Musk Reform alliance. The right wing have the backing and the numbers. I just hope that people don’t fall for it and can put their differences aside. Personally I am making plans to vacate if it happens.

    Think Boss do a cover less the foot switch portion. Joyo Ironman with the knob flap are cool and dinky...

    Good question... Of course we looked at our legacy models, the first one was the Walkabout and the weight was one of the biggest complaints (and it wasn't a very heavy amp compared with say the Carbines). Moving up to the heavier amps, size and weight very much factored into the decision because our players placed this very high on the "wanted list". Back in the day, I did design a number of substantially sized, heavy amps like the GBE-750 and 1200, but these found their way mostly to those who were either touring with big rigs or didn't need to worry about transportation. The older models sales had fallen to almost nothing even before we released the first Subway model, was better for what our evolving player base wanted and had asked for. Listening to a large number of players provided a huge level of clarity here.

    Impending retirement means that I need to de-clutter, beginning with some of my beloved basses. A Beautiful bass bought from here in 24, with a great sound, which I am just not using much. It is the real deal with gorgeous looks and construction in my honest opinion. Someone out there will love it. It is also loud enough to practice with without an amp IMHO! Happy to post as it comes with a generic hard case that fits archtop basses "The Gretsch G5442BDC Electromatic Hollow Body Short Scale bass guitar has a comfortably short scale at 30.25", and is armed with two powerful "Black Top" Filter'Tron™ bass pickups, giving it an electrifying deep-end voice and identity. The double-cutaway hollow and bound body offers full bass tone and balance, and is finished in Transparent Red." Note: I have been asked about neck dive, just in case you are worried about that this is my answer. "I can't say that it has bothered me,. Being an true hollow body/archtop It is very light and hangs horizontally, but it feels normal to rest my right arm on the body, which pushes the neck upwards to a comfortable, natural playing position. It also feels good sitting down. I imagine that the longer scale Gretsch hollows may have serious neck dive". G5442BDC Spec sheet.pdf

    Fantastic superlight basses, mine weighs just 6.7lbs and is joyous for those with glass backs like me. GLWTS.

    Eh, not sure I'm getting whatever it is you're trying to say here. So, by exercising my choice to decline a gig offer that I just wouldn't feel enthusiastic about, I would be participating in the death of free speech? Last time I looked, freedom of association was considered an important part of freedom of expression.

    Selling this set of spirocore mediums as I recently changed to a light set. I bought them new and they’ve been on/off once, as you can see all the windings still are in good condition and there is plenty of life left in them. I will post them with the original box as well. Give me a shout if you’re interested, I’m open to offers. Cheers!

    We have a great PA (rcf 932a x2 and rcf 905 sub x2) and a capable mixer (XR18) and yet im never happy with the bass sound through PA. I have a Darkglass Anagram which sounds amazing for recording direct into a PC and awesome on the multi track live recording we take direct from the desk at gigs. It also sounds perfect in my iem mix. My amp is a Darkglasd M900 and my cab is a greenboy F112. That setup sounds killer too. Why is it then that the bass sound coming out of the PA just always seems to sound a bit woolly and soft and lacking those lovely clean piano type lows. Even if I turn all processing off on the desk it seems to sound like it lacks the clean weight of sound and crisp top end. Do I just need to be braver with the eq or is it something in the PA speakers that hates me?

    Which reminds me of another 80's tune that I absolute love playing - Every Little Thing She Does is Magic. I know, I'm easily pleased 🤷‍♂️

    Plenty of photoflames still about too, although I think it's pretty rare in new guitars.
  24. Pinball
    Well spotted, thanks now correct

    I don't know if it is the correct title but I have transcribed the bass part from a 36 second Kinga Glyk video entitled 'Joy, Joy' that has appeared several times on my YouTube feed, just to see what was going on. It's great stuff and funky as a funky thing from Funksville. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/joy-joy-excerpt-kinga-glyk/

    I totally agree, trust is a big part of choosing gear for me, which is why I’ve ended up with amps from only two brands, Mesa and Ashdown, and cabs by Mesa only. Both Andy at Mesa and Dave at Ashdown have given me great advice also 👍

    Mike Score would struggle achieving that unique look nowadays, unfortunately we all grow old.

    Fantastic sounding amp and so versatile. It does that “valve” thing better than anything Ive heard. Very portable. Happy to ship at buyers expense.

    That's a proper earworm, that! Nice stuff - and as several said before me, that bass sounds lovely.
