‘No good deed goes unpunished.’

I’m happy with either as long as everyone is clear at the outset what the setup is. I marginally prefer the dictator model as long as I don’t have to be the dictator - a motivated BL can really get things moving for a band. Problems happen when most of the band think they’re in a democracy, but one member reckons they are entitled to the last word. Did I say ‘one member’? I meant the singer of course.

Belated bump, although part of me is strongly tempted to keep it... -
In case anyone was holding their breath I decided to stick with my DIY no-load tone pot.

Should the sad day arrive when I have to go amp-less, it will be this plus a tuner pedal:

I think that might get in the way of my plectrum…

Playing whilst Sick (Tales/regrets when the show went on..)
JapanAxe replied to ARGH's topic in General Discussion
I came down with a fever during the first of 3 sets on lead guitar, accompanying a country singer/guitarist who used a drum machine. The gig was somewhat challenging anyway as, not only was I playing unfamiliar material completely by ear, but the guy worked in 2-beat chunks - if he’d finished a vocal line before the end of beat 2 he’d immediately start the next one! I spent the breaks pressed against a radiator, trying to subdue the shivering. I couldn’t have left early as I’d shared a lift with the guy from part way there. -

99.99% of the time I would agree with you, but the Barefaced 4x10 etc have low pass filters on one side to prevent phase cancellation.

Playing guitar with a rock’n’roll band at a pub in central Cardiff. I honestly can’t think of a single thing that could go wrong…

What is the most you'd personally pay for a new bass?
JapanAxe replied to lidl e's topic in Bass Guitars
The most I’ve paid for a brand new bass is £1,450 for my AVRI Precision (about 7 years ago). I paid £2,495 for a new CS Strat (around 9 years ago) and that’s the record to date. -
Sorry, who are you again? /thread derail GLWTS @Leon C 2 -
l knew there was some connection! The front panels look very similar in layout.

I seem to recall @krispnhad one of these.

Nope, BV1001T (tube/valve) is currently £406, BV1001M (MOSFET) is £319.

Now down to the last few and they’re £319.

Dazatronyx withdrawn - too good to let go, it's now on my rock'n'roll guitar pedalboard. -
Precision. A good P gives me the range of sounds that I like. But I’m 100% in favour of everyone using what works for them.

All PMs responded to. Crazy price still applies!

I've always used it into a 4ohm load in the form of a Barefaced Super Twin and I've never had it past about half-way on the master volume. To me the key to being heard in a loud band with this amp is how you set the drive and the mids - there's a point at which it just seems to come alive. I never use cabs with tweeters but I understand that EBS amps can put out a fearsome amount of top end! Looking at the GR specs the 2x12 seems to have 2 or 3dB more sensitivity than the Super Twin. You're more than welcome to swing by and try it if that's feasible for you - I'll bash away on guitar through a loud combo for a real-world playing test!

Christmas craziness - now £500 delivered in UK!

There’s a guy called Ollie in Bristol who has the user name Ampstack - he used to be on here and he’s definitely on Facebook.

If you need to ask, it’ll be too heavy for you!
