All Activity

It only makes sense for Fender to buy G&L if they keep it separate entity. Migrating features of G&L instruments to their Fender counterparts would be a monumentally silly thing to do for lots of reasons. In terms of marketing G&L is an entity in its self with a profile that Fender could easily improve. It would only take a bit of razmatazz and a couple of big name endorsements to get players interested in buying G&L instruments again. To undertake creating some kind of Fender-G&L hybrid and making it successful is a much more difficult undertaking. Consider that Fender have never had an active bass that could rival the L2000, for example, and if they brought one out now it would be a hard sell to a conservative consumer base. Much better just to promote the existing model from G&L. . There's something a bit exotic about G&L, what with their history, their innovative designs and the interesting players who've played them in the past. Fender must surely have the wit to see what an opportunity this is to resurrect a potent brand. In football terms, their clean through on an open goal, all they need is but if clever marketing to put the ball in the back of the net

Loved my Eden rigs. I hope these are as good as the WTs, but I'm not holding my breath.

I loved Pentangle , and the Martyn songs , and I felt gutted when I heard he passed. I’ve looked up a lot of YouTube videos in the last several days. Legend.

Good to see them making a return, never understood the Marshall buying them thing, they did pretty much nothing with them.

Oh Daddy - Fleetwood Mac

Ah, I suppose as I’ve only ever played along to The Ataris version I thought the original was also Eb. Hot-dang pop-punkers!

Even Billy Sheehan is getting in on the short scale fun. Took inspiration from you @ped 😅

It's "Lord I lift your name ON high", not "I lif your name WHILE high" 🤪

Seems Gear4Music have actually done something with the Eden brand. There's a whole new range of amps and cabs called the Novatone series. They look good, and they're very keenly priced. I particularly like the cabs - the rounded corners are very reminiscent of the old Nemesis stuff. No idea how they might compare to the old World Tour heads or D-series cabs, but it's nice to see that they've actually been given some attention. This is more than Marshall ever did with the brand! https://www.gear4music.com/Bass_Amps/Eden?page=1

Papa Was A Rollin' Stone - The Temptations

One thing I have learnt, especially with musicians, is that a leopard never changes its spots.

You will probably need to order a replacement horn with a new driver at this point. I haven't seen the old style is years.

Daddy cool - Boney M

Actually, I retract what I was saying about G4M not doing anything with Eden - seems there's a load of new stuff, including the Novatone range. https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Eden-NovaTone-500-Bass-Amplifier-Head/5JUR (sorry for the derail - back to G&L now )

40th Anniversary if you can find one. I had a Chinese Squier and it's far superior to that. IMHO.

I bought an amp cover from David (that he got with an amp I sold to him about a month ago... long story!) and he was a pleasure to deal with all the way. Great comms, quick postage, nice item. Many thanks!

Urgh. SWR and Genz Benz were ruined by Fender - really hope G&L doesn't go the same way.

Multi. Scale. Headless.

Yes. You could just set the chat to ignore. Leaving the conversation seems childish. If he has issues but can't talk then that's his problem.
