What a lovely thing, really nostalgic looking but hopefully with more modern playability. If you ever wanted to do a Thamesmen tribute band it would fit right in as well.

Right. Confession time. Final clear coats on today. Gloss looking glorious. Standing there thinking, “That is absolutely spot on. I am a finishing god!” Then… during clean up… yes, during clean up… when the gun was down, the spraying was finished, and I was basically doing a slow-motion victory lap around the workshop… a rogue flick of thinner somehow produced a bubble right on the edge. Not mid-coat. Not during a risky pass. Not because I rushed it. During. Clean. Up. Which means lacquer doesn’t fight you while you’re working — it waits until you relax. Several entirely new swear words were invented. The sort that would make a seasoned fishwife blush and quietly reassess her life choices. So the body is now quarantined in a warm room while the clear cures properly. I’ll sort the area the right way and then lay down a final couple of refinement coats to unify everything. No panic. No bodges. Just patience, sanding blocks, and a reminder that the last 2% of a build is where character (and vocabulary) is developed. Still massively happy with how it’s come together — just slightly p***ed off by the timing. Made to play. Built to last. Occasionally built to test the limits of polite language. 😅

Eich BC112Pro. It does everything - and if you need more, the DI is great.

They're great, but at a price, as you say. I thought hard about getting them and decided in the end to bite the bullet. I'd taken early retirement from my job when I decided to upgrade my PA, so was able to spend some of my pay-off on them. Haven't regretted it so far. If you own a quality PA, people suddenly want you in their band, which is nice.

It was the original Odeon Cinema that opened in 1937. I used to go to Saturday morning pictures there as a kid in the 1960’s, it was 6 old pence downstairs and 9 old pence upstairs. The developers have done a superb job whilst retaining the Art Deco features.

Lovely looking thing, that!

Setting Sons - The Jam

Turn to stoned - ELO

Ashdown MAG or RootMaster combos's should meet the requirement. The Rootmaster will be lighter, but the MAG are pretty sturdy. Another one to consider would be the old Ampeg BA-210. Pretty much anything that's rated around 300-500w should give you plenty of power and headroom.

Smoke Two Joints - The Toyes

Welcome to the thread, and well done for spotting that it is about encouraging us to improve musical skills. I was impressed at how quickly you went from buying "a keyboard stand this year so I can learn to use the keyboard I bought years ago" to "new digital piano, synth and guitar incoming!" - both posts are timestamped "8 hours ago" on my system! It is always good to see that sort of reckless abandon from new players, because it distracts Chief Referee @neepheid from any infractions that I and others might be about to commit.... Keep it up, @brickers!

And lots of other manufacturers too. Seems like an oversight on Boss' behalf!

Vapour Trails - Rush

Pics needed for @Bassassin I'd say, could be almost anything!
