I have to wonder whether there was actually something wrong with the Elf that I had and moved on. Nice tone, but it couldn't produce anywhere near enough volume to be useful through a pair of cabs which are more than capable with amps of only slightly higher quoted power. I think in the OP situation, if the Elf proved to be lacking I'd be tempted to try the Transit B preamp pedal into a power amp. I like the Crown XLS xx02 series, myself.

It's odd, these festivals. I'd never go to Glastonbury; to me it's a four day hellish version of Later... Likewise Download. Aah, I remember the old days, drive up, backstage parking, watching Motley Crue and Aerosmith from the side of the stage, proper bogs home and asleep in my own bed about 2.00am the next day. Now? Four days of bands with vocalists just clearing their throats. Nope. When all this was fields, the events that got my attention were just 12 hours. It's difficult to fully quantify but take the old Monsters of Rock things at Donington. 70,000 people, one stage and (usually) seven or eight great bands. Now it's all multiple stages, dozens of bands no one has heard of etc. The day long Donington has evolved, but the 1980s type event would now be supplanted as part of a tour itinerary (if this makes sense). It would be like Green Day just playing Wembley Stadium with a decent undercard, then this moving to the Manchester City stadium.

Small, but effective.

We have the NW bass bash to blame - your L-1000 and GreeneKing's L-2500 convinced me to look for something L flavoured. Wants / needs, etc..!

Wash It All Away - Five Finger Death Punch

Heh, are you me in disguise? Seriously though, the wunkay is a fantastic bass, so glad I have one in my arsenal.

I've been looking at Ebay where I got mine and that particular one isn't there any more. When I was trying to find mine I bought 3 before I got one that fitted perfectly. It's not like you can go to a shop and try a few out. But I have found you one that might do the job although the item ships from China. I measured my Kingman sound hole diameter at 97mm (please check yours to comfirm this) and this Ebay ad has some, one at 96mm and one at 98mm. I would say go for the 98mm for a tight fit. Just be aware that sometimes their stated mesurements aren't always that accurate, so you might end up trying a 100mm plug, it's a case of trial and error to see what fits the best. Feel free to search around for one that's in stock closer to home, this is just the first one I found that had them around the right size. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/146662999184?_skw=Silicone+Acoustic+Sound+Hole+Cover&itmmeta=01JZ5ADH4JEB47HJTJVX560JPY&hash=item2225cbc490%3Ag%3A3SIAAeSwp8JoVbV9&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAABAFkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1fC8enOVQK1nNa20HRGGuWXX%2FHGAmFz5cfu9c2okvYXWfzXHbHPWBbB2oK8ZMX6TxJLhHs9PjyWKD%2BBd9Y1v7Eno7SPHHQm5IYcmpqiRRADYiz9wTQyPVs4krx6qPhRppKP5Bb7kn7JGNmIXst76xvoe2AAZjNQXyJBCV6uMSE24HteWhSUyizSlGHmj1zuTd%2B9WFqmtwyBKGt9oxrT%2Fkz3P%2BqOXdHuAw0Tk16JPtXzrgDaITUp2Xahv1DvZXsIovWtpm5VMplSr%2B2ZsxYXJxK2M0Wkwa8icXuJZON0udAI3%2FPlhfI4Vti1G3osLy%2BLi7E%3D|tkp%3ABFBMtJK2qvll&var=445329099935

I don't have any of them at the moment but I still remember the feel and reponse of my previous C4 in terms of how it reacts to my playing nuances, left and right hand technique.

Well going totally ott why not have wireless charging like my phone with a charging station built into your guitar stand.

Can't wait for Jools to do a Eurovision medley in the Legends slot at Glasto.

Would love to hear your initial opinions or maybe even a comparison with the FI, C4, EHX Micro synth, if you have any

I did not - but thanks, you're right, that's an excellent price. (currently got my eye on an L-1000.. we'll see!)

Blimey!! Just jumped on the Vox UK website to check if they've got a refurb'ed A1H (they haven't) and I see that the current Starstream range has gone headless - a 4-stringer and a fiver, both over two grand. I think that fits in well with the avant-garde design. https://www.voxamps.co.uk/collections/bass-guitars They're also doing a solid electric uke bass and the opening words of the promo spiel amused me: 'Enjoy the freedom of playing the ukulele without disturbing others.' Say no more! 🤣🤐

Here we go. The top-hat is unobtrusive, albeit non-reversible. W for the win.

Did you go for it in the end? If not - now might be a good time - Thomann selling the sunburst one for an absolute steal for some reason - https://www.thomann.co.uk/marcus_miller_z7_4_3_tone_sunburst.htm

yeah I love the switching preset function with the main foot switch. And you get new knob parameters when you hold the voice or shape switch.

The port on the side can be used with a tap to change through the presets and you can also use the man footswitch by holding it down, according to the manual on page 6 https://www.jimdunlop.com/content/manuals/MB301.pdf There is a lot of functionality that wasn't mentioned on the videos it seems.
