Hey @Davy
My primary gripe with the Elf is that it doesn't have the range that we're used to getting from the original, made in the UK gear.
In fact when I first saw this unit advertised my thinking was that it should have been part of the Elf...but then it wouldn't fit in the girl with the lovely bums back pocket.
How far does this unit go towards making the Elf feel like a "real" Trace Elliot ?
I had a bit of an issue with a bass NOT being delivered within the 48 hours after using that service (actually took 8 days - inc weekend and RM strike). Parcelforce said that if I'd booked direct through them they would have refunded the total carriage but because I'd booked through a third party (Interparcel) I would need to claim from them, they could claim from them. Small print with Interparcel meant I couldn't claim against them as they are not bound by the time commitment.
Not used them since.
Fellas, let's not make this a " so and so are best" thread.
We are privileged to have the choice of so many great basses made on our doorsteps.
I've owned many of our UK built brands all of them fantastic in their own way.
Enjoy them all.
I think that we're spoiled for choice in the UK.
Status, Goodfellow, Overwater, Wal, Sei...
all making amazing basses.
It's like standing outside a cake shop where you can have whatever you want.
You are absolutely right....Good sales technique but I've bought myself a Sterling 4HH and I'm waiting for my Kawai to come back.
Need to be a bit more frugal for a few weeks...
When I bought my wall hangers I also bought some rubber half balls (can't remember what they're actually for) to stop the basses banging on the wall. I'm still waiting to put them up though.
I've been ordering Warwick tapewounds for my basses. Best price is £20 from Thomann but postage is £10.
Does anybody know if they combine the cost if you order more than 1 set.
