    Had a passive 5-string about 25 years ago, possibly one of the few in Ireland. Sold it to buy a Stingray 5. Regretted it. (not the Stingray, selling the Shark) I've never seen another in the flesh.

    According to the chrome bridge, it should be the wide string spacing at 18 mm. Am I right?

    I'm a big Sweet fan but its all those high end backing vocals that Andy Scott did that make it difficult to replicate. All of Sweet were "properly trained" singers plus all that touring in their early days certainly makes you a lot better at what you do. Incredible band. Our drummer new the band and lived down the street from Steve Priest altho he was a bit younger and as a kid he said that Steve was "the guy that played in a band". He even had some drum lessons from Mick that to this day he is still in awe of Mick's abilities plus he was singing backing vocals at same time. He has some great Sweet stories from those days 😂 Dave

    Just received a Gotoh bridge from Ash. Simple and quick transaction with rapid dispatch and delivery. Highly recommended.

    This. Despite marketing claims, no manufacturer can offer more at a given price point than another, assuming they are all operating in the same economic environment. Obvs, things produced in high wage economies - Europe, the US, etc - will have incur higher labour costs than those made in the Far East by children working 12 hour days 7 days a week, but you get my drift.

    Not necessarily. If you see aluminum domes they were probably JBL. When Sunn first came out with the 200S one thing that made them better than the rest was JBL drivers as standard, rather than as optional. But that also made them expensive, as JBL cost two to three times what others, like Eminence, did. I still remember buying JBL E-140 for $75 USD in 1970. That would be $700 today. In the early 70s Sunn went to the far less expensive Eminence in most of their cabs, but still offered JBL as upgrades.

    So to follow up ive started looking at "smaller" Peavey 1x15 BW's Im hoping with wheels on it wont be TTO much for me....Will update in due course

    Selling this lovely Bitmap in great shape with original box - it's basically mint apart of velcro. These received significant software update last year with additional clipping modes etc. Red Panda has also very convenient web editor for presets. Happy to trade (with price adjustments) for interesting dirt pedals. Bitmap occupies my "loose spot" for additional dirt in pedalboard and I'm just happy to experiment. Basic overdrive I'm covering with Capo. The ones I would love to try are EAE, Damnation Audio, Broughton, Bearfoot, Hiero etc. Would've thrown 3leaf in but what are the chances

    Yeah it was a great tone, was only in a pub covers band and to the volume of the drums but the depth of the tone was awesome. The guitarists also used valve amps & 412s so the sound of the band was very full without needing to be overloud.

    Around 1969-70 I was invited, with others, to the home of a girl I knew. Her father was chief flautist with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. In the loungs, was a very nice turntable next to a Leak amplifier and in two corners, two horns atop concrete plinths rose up from the floor. I asked about them and were told that they were Lowther drivers, set in concrete. I believe they were 8". Of course the father played classical music on them, but we played Hendrix, Cream etc along with some electric folk. I have never heard any of those albums sound better. I have to add the caveats that it was a long time ago and maybe my ears were not a well-trained then (I later worked at the EMI record factory and EMI research labs). However, this was a stereo amp giving 30 Watts per channel and those speakers were so sensitive. You must also add that in those days we never heard the lows of the base owing to the equipment at the time and the quality of the playback equipment. Being a Flautist, I assume he (or rather his speakers) had some kind of tweeter in each side, as I do not remember any lack of top end.

    I think, thank goodness the finger noise is gone.
