Not massively flat, just a little bit, but i feel responsible because i sold it to him. The strings are six weeks old, and the rest of my set up was spot on, be it pick-up height, intonation on the other strings and action... I will have him read this thread in case one of the scenarii you guys have mentioned looks like something he would have spotted! Thanks a lot for your help!

There's an Aguilar AG700 in the Classifieds which will run at 2.67 ohms. Great sounding amp.

Me again and another Sansamp sold to Arnoldas! All good as before 😀

The specs say 8 or 4ohm - I'd assume therefore it's minimum 4ohm. Using an 8ohm and a 4ohm cab at the same time would potentially take you below that to 2.67ohm, which I suspect it won't like.

Hand sanded Liberon Finishing oil up to 700 grit and 3 coats of Liberon Bison wax. This one is going to be an absolute beauty!

It's sad to see any music shop go under. When ever I'm in a new town, I look up where the shops are just to have a nose,and still remember being a young'un and the excitement of looking round at all the instruments. But, to be honest, I'm a bit fed up of going in to look a shops basses to find the genetic line up of a couple of Fender player series, maybe a Cort or an Ibanez or 2. None of them anything like setup so no point trying one. Meanwhile, there's racks of different guitars on the wall. The old PMT at least had a separate room of basses to look at. The new one had about 8, with nothing worth looking at.

It's sad, but it's been on the card since the original owners sold up and cashed in. My local was the OG Pmt in Southend. I went there a bit, but I was never a fan and felt dirty doing do. Something bout the way they ran the business felt off, and their face-to-face customer service left something to be desired. Not to mention some of the horror stories I'd heard about their guitar setups. I used to quite like their original tiny shop, but they got too big too quickly IMHO as the "professional" bit in their moniker went out the window and successfully put their local rivals out of business by targeting the budget end of the market. Eventually, they simply didn't stock the things I was interested in and wanted to try. When they sold the business, the original owners retained the Southend building itself and charged the new owners an extortionate amount for rent. So the new management simply closed the store. It surprised me, but to be honest I don't miss it. There's other local shops I miss more - such as Honky Tonk - who PMT effectively put out of business.

Sounding good and that Ric sounds very nice. Dave

Unfortunately this wasn't my experience when I was up there in November just gone. I would definitely try again though when I'm next in Nottingham.

Big love Lee 💙 You know where we are mate

Played a great gig at the weekend, probably our best yet. The Thunderstangbacker sounded ace, and I love my little Eich combo!

Struck by the number of shorties up on the For Sale section at the moment. Something for all tastes!

A Double Six was just sold at the Gardiner Holgate auction. £550 plus 25% or so fees. https://auctions.gardinerhoulgate.co.uk/catalogue/lot/af9fe3e054d9552ea0fd7eb82ba5736b/63b778f7668dabe928d3800924a99077/the-guitar-sale-five-day-auction-including-the-gord-lot-187/ Fixed bridge though.
