No first-hand experience but seen them discussed on a couple of guitar forums that I frequent and rarely (if ever) seen any serious negative comment. I did seriously consider that very same 20W head, but bought a more widely known head, used, from a friend.

If you're going to be modding, get one that has full-size components, not surface-mount!

The jam from about 21.10 gets very 'jazz club' in parts!

Marshall or Blackstar might be the place to start.

Toyed with getting one of these, but plumped for the cheap-as-chips Blackstar Fly 3.

Not a name I've heard before - let us know how you get on, with a NAD thread.

At least a pickguard is not hideously difficult or expensive to replace.

By the way..how much harder is it to play that wider neck than the 70's width. [/quote] Fender have some kind of special-order facility, but iirc it got some stick on here for being crap. What I had in mind is the one-offs and dealer special orders that come up now and then - for example, I have a CS '59 'transition' Strat that was made to the spec of the shop owner's original '59. As regards neck width - it is no harder to play, just different to what I had become used to. I think it would only pose a problem if you had poor technique, e.g. hooking the thumb of your fretting hand over the top of the neck.

Nice clear mixes, great bass sound.

NYE still available.

Spot on.

[quote name='Alec' timestamp='1450358880' post='2931993'] I'd accept a compromised sound for the convenience of a lighter pack. Fortunately I don't have to, as I now have lighter and better - result! [/quote] This.

She sounds a lot like Rosanne Cash.

I have the opposite experience to the OP - I experienced a revelation about how good a bass can sound once I switched to Class D heads and 'clever' Neo-loaded cabs.

I have a Bose L1 Model 2 and used it just for vocals in a 3-piece (guitar/bass/drums). The Tone Match mixer (which I also have) takes 3 mics and a stereo input. If you just want it for vocals, and don't play silly loud, it may do the job, and if you set ti up in the right place it can be your foldback too. Bear in mind it's not really intended for putting a whole band through - Bose rather optimistically suggest that each musician would have his/her own system for their own vocals and instrument(s)! Like this:

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1450093499' post='2929448'] Anything more than a Telecaster is just showing off. [/quote] Nothing is 'more' than a Telecaster! Many modern humbuckers are wound very hot, which means they are great for generating distortion but sound rather dull played clean. By contrast, an 'underwound' humbucker can sound very nice and characterful. A good P90 can be a flexible alternative, but there is not just one P90 sound, and the guitar in which they are installed can make a lot of difference.

[quote name='No lust in Jazz' timestamp='1450089080' post='2929377'] And in true forum 'Yin and Yang' I owned one in the mid 90's and thought that it was great - it was bought as a practice combo - 80w IIRC, but I did gig it in a rock band without PA support [/quote] That'll be the BLX80 then.
