Nice EBS Sheehan signature pedal i see lurking on the board! 

Well spotted!

The amp sounded lovely on its own, the band wasn’t that heavy, so I didn’t need any extra dirt from the Billy Sheehan pedal. 

I bought a set of Rotosound Nexus black strings last year and the coating flaked off when using a pick.  

Used mine at a gig on Saturday.
Touch of compression and the amp sounded amazing on its own. 

Didn’t even need to/want to use any effects as the tone was incredible. Didn’t want to spoil it. 

Price drop - £85 this weekend only.
Up for sale is my lovely Rodenberg GAS808B drive pedal. 
It has 2 settings:

The blue/overdrive based on the Tube Screamer and the red/distortion setting which is a 3db boosted version of the blue setting. 
This is a beautifully crafted pedal built in Germany. 
Only selling as I recently bought an EBS Billy Sheehan pedal.

Up for sale is my Bass Synth Wah in great condition and even the box is immaculate too!

classic synth/wah/octave pedal which is only going to keep going up in value. 
£85 posted to your door. 
Now just £75 this payday weekend!

Good price for a great amp. I have an original one (500).
I’d be all over this if we hadn’t already spent my play money this month. 

Up for sale is my Line 6 G30 wireless system. In good, fully working condition. Comes with original box, lead, PSU, etc

£85 posted

Would be great if you could get him to sign it too. Better leave a space for him.

Whaaat? I never knew!

The question you need to ask yourself is ‘will I be keeping it after these run of shows?’ If not, get something s/h that’s  easy to resell. Can’t go wrong with the Fender Rumbles or Ashdown Studio range. I’ve use a lovely original Ampeg Rocket 220 (b200r) but really hard to get hold of and weigh a ton too!

A bit of a generalisation though isn't it?  

 

As with all things, we have personal preferences and I'd not thank you for one as the tone isn't too my liking.  

Just my 2 cents. I’ve had one for a few years now. I absolutely love it. I play in various different bands. Never lets me down. 
Very clear, flat response. Just EQ it to personal taste. 

You can’t go wrong with a Barefaced Supertwin!

There is a demo from 4 yrs ago using the original WB-100. 

Yes I remember them. I was thinking for the newer model and how to get the best out of it, hints and tips, etc

Might be an idea for Leszek to post some new online tutorial videos on how to get the best out of his new amps. I am sure that would be useful to new users and reduce any technical misunderstandings. Just an idea. Win/win

Maybe even something like a GE7B might be worth a look. You can use it to boost the signal to make it crunchier and/or tweak the sound to your desired tone. 
 

Here is the rig I used tonight/last night. 
Sounded fantastic (to me!)

Yep, it is indeed a Barefaced Super Twin underneath the WB-100. Hoping to spend some quality time together over the weekend!

Well done mate. What a fantastic combination! Extremely jealous (in a nice way)

Never Give Up. 
Im 51 now and playing  in several projects. This year formed a red hot classic rock covers band with an amazing singer 27 and incredible lead guitarist 28. Age isn’t always a barrier, mindset unfortunately  is!

Not sure how this amazing amp is still here. Buy with confidence from Nik. Top bloke.

There's no benefit in having the the anniversary edition over a new EVO IV. It is probably aimed at collectors and isn't likely to be taken out for a gig down the dog & duck. Maybe there are collectors who like to amass these things, but its not the kind of thing I'd be interested in. On the other hand maybe the 'Made in England' aspect would appeal to the kind of people who fly a St George's flag outside their house even when there isn't a football tournament on.

I personally believe that there is nothing wrong in being supportive of your own country. We have fantastic engineers and manufacturers here. Ashdown, Barefacef, Status, etc

It doesn’t automatically make you a racist to want to support these talented people. Just my 2 cents/Pennies!

Great price for a great amp from a great bloke. 

Won’t be here long

Pah, that's nothing!

I lived in an Ampeg 8 x 10 cab for two years before I could afford an 18" bass bin.

Ampeg, oh get you Mr La di da. Back in my day it would have been 2 families living  in a carlsboro combo and thought yourself bloody lucky! (Said in a Yorkshire accent) 😂
