It sounds great but nothing on their site about it. No price but I expect around $300 given their other pedals. Immediately I thought this will pair nicely with the Luce

Ooh, thanks for this. Certainly jolted me awake this morning. Mad as hatters, really talented and very creative: the musical holy trinity in my book. I have to paint the shared hallway today. It was going to be plain white as mandated by the building regulations but for some reason I am now thinking about that little pot of black paint we have sitting in the cupboard..... 😂

I like that. Dave

I'm forever blowing bubbles - West Ham fans.... etc

I gigged for years with a sensible drummer and a very loud at times guitarist using valve combos. Pubs, clubs, some quite large, and the occasional outdoor jobs with a Hartke 3500 into an Eden 1 x 15. 1000 watt PA was just vocals and the rhythm guitarist. Never had a problem being heard.

Thanks for that link @rainbowreality some useful tools & bits there 😀

https://thebassgallery.com/collections/bass/products/ernie-ball-music-man-5 I've actually played this bass in the store and believe me when I say my recently acquired used Ray35 is no worse. It's hard to look at this price tag after that.

That should get you started…

My gut reaction based on not much is that it's because so many people start off by requesting it. They say something like "I'm just starting out so I want something that will be ok for playing along at home and not so big that the other half complains I'm taking over the living room, but it'd be nice if it'd also be up to jamming with some friends when I get to that point, maybe travelling by bus so we can have a few cans". A 200W 1x10 combo, then, because if it was 500W it would sound like overkill for a beginner and if it was 50W it'd 'never keep up with a drummer', so it's 200W. Of which they'll get 140ish and there's no getting away from the fact that it sounds like a single 10, so then they say "I like it, but I want more". Matching 1x10 extension cab, then, because that's how you 'get all the power out of the amp'. So the manufacturer/shop sells another unit, and in fairness it probably works out well for the customer in most cases. I started on a Hartke HA2000 (200W), have gigged a lot with Markbass Nanos (300W) and am now using TC BAMs (200W) through whatever is already on stage and I don't have to carry. 200W through a heavy and unfashionable old 4x10 is fine for metal.

I returned one to Andertons on Friday so they might put that back up for sale. They also had one in their pedal display cabinet. it was a great piece of equipment and very easy to use, but ultimately I felt it was overkill for my needs
