On a pedalboard? If there was something that small, I'm sure there would be a market. If it was that good, I'd like to see powered cabs with these fitted inside

Poster for gig at The Hop Pole:

You mention that the B string has a low action, but this is not necessarily conducive to better tone. In fact, I've found that raising the action a bit can actually be beneficial.

If it helps, I've had both the MF101 and the Xerograph. They are both great pedals. To me the MF101 was a bit more natural/less synthy sounding, which can be great. It's also very easy to get nice useable sounds from. Noise was never an issue for me, like Luke says, it's fine live. The Xerograph is a bit more unwieldy. The oscillating squeals and resonance boost can be absolutely brutal, so you need to be a bit more careful. With care though, you can get some lovely settings which are a bit more synthy than the MF101 IMO. I now use a Xerograph because it's smaller, easy to power, and sounds great. If I was twiddling settings on the gig, and had no space constraints, I'd happily use the MF101, even if it is a bit more 'polite'.

I'd check out the Iron Ether Xerograph deluxe

Oops, sorry, I think I've broken the mixing challenge!

Does anyone have any live recordings from the audiances perspective? [/quote] But this thread is about 100w valve heads Edit, sorry, I think I now see that you were addressing a specific previous post, and your post makes more sense now :-)

Ed bought my Radial DI, and it was an effortless transaction. Fast payment and great communication. Top chap to deal with :-)

That's a hosepipe!

It's got about sixty fewer knobs than the Fodera

Someone say Curve? Ahhhh...memories of a teenage me lusting after Toni Halliday.. http://youtu.be/Q9Plourz3Xs

Mark Sparkler is a great name

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1404307581' post='2491398'] Not to worry. Someone, somewhere, will do it I have no doubt. [/quote] His very efficient colleague Sian has called me saying that yes, they can do what you want. I've PM'd you her number

I've passed the query to a chap I know in printing. I know he does shaped cards, but don't know whether he's restricted to templates or can do any shape. I'll let you know his response. He's actually a BC Member, but not sure how often he visits Edit update: He's away on holiday, sorry

Dude from Nickleback! Anvil!

Ah, sorry, I thought by your description that you were after Latin funk bands

I think that the Solo Bass Guitar CD is the only Squarepusher album that I didn't bother buying - those three words 'Solo Bass Guitar' were enough to put me off, no matter how big a fan I am. I watched the first fifteen minutes odd of this show. Maybe it's because it was only on iPad speakers, but the whole thing seemed to be very upper-register, like guitar territory. Lots of flamenco-style chords and fingerpicking. Also not a fan of that half-fretted buzzy note thing that he seems so fond of. The more rhythmic and riff-based he became, the more I enjoyed it. Last time I saw him play, it was an hour and a half of fit-inducing bombardment-of-the-senses electronica, with a ten minute interlude for solo electric bass. That's more my kind of show. http://youtu.be/XvLAKrVbCBM

Here's a newly posted video of Mr Jenkinson's 'Solo Electric Bass' performance. I must say, I much prefer his electronic stuff, but thought some may be interested. http://youtu.be/gFWjkku2qjQ

By the power of Greyskull - that's huge!

[quote name='Pow_22' timestamp='1404196206' post='2490090'] Got gas for one of these but really worry about gig volume juice. I love all-valve and dont mind a bit of breakup but dont want full on mushy distortion. It would be paired with an Ashdown VS-212 cab, played with a flats loaded P bass against 2 guitards with 80w hybrid marshalls and a fairly loud drummist. The option ive considered is renting one for a week to see how i get on before taking the plunge but none of the local rental places have them. Anyone on here either gig with one or prepared to lend me one for a week in return for my TC RH450 for a week? The other option is the Little Bastard 550 but these are hard to come by and are only pre-amp valved [/quote] Your band sounds LOUD! Too loud for a LB. What about the CTM amps? If that's too much money, maybe check out some of Mr Foxen's* older amps like Sound City etc. Where has he gone, anyway?
