Does anyone think he now uses a Class D micro head and neo cabs? I reckon not...

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1380922759' post='2232585'] Of course then I tried to actually pick it up and gave myself a hernia. [/quote] I gave myself a hernia just looking at the pictures! This is a rig for a band with [b]roadies[/b]!

I don't think I've ever tried one so I can only comment on the looks. I think they look pretty cool.

Hasn't come yet so gigging the TC Classic tonight. This is ridiculously loud through the Compact/Midget stack, so goodness knows what the Genz-powered version will be capable of! WMD anyone?

I would just use the smallest version of my rig i.e. Small head and 1x12 cab. A woody-sounding fretless can also come across as more suitable to the genre but lay off the chorus pedal! Also if your drummer won't be there, consider one of you playing a logjam (or similar) foot stomper through your PA. If there are to be no percussion instruments this represents a major change in the band dynamic; who is now driving the rhythm?

Everybody assumes someone else will bid and then nobody does except me! Look out for a NAD thread and then maybe a review, or a comparison with the Classic 450.

Just hope it's not too good to be true!

Well folks that seems to have worked because I just snagged it for £400! May even have it in time for Friday night's gig!

Impossible to do anything else when listening to Bitches Brew - the opposite of background music! (Foreground music!?)

As long as the nut slots have been started, it seems fair enough to me that you (or your chosen) tech should have the final say in the guitar's set-up, of which nut slot depth is a significant part. Plus you can always get MDP to do it for you:

I ordered a generic Tele neck from an eBay seller. It arrived in a bubble-wrap sleeve. The postman managed to force it through the letterbox. When I got home it was stopping the door opening, so there I was pushing at the door and bending one of the tuners. Eejuts one and all.

I have sold guitars both here and on eBay, and it is a very anxious time while you wait for safe delivery to the buyer. Loads of bubble wrap, strategically placed cardboard stiffeners, shipping boxes blagged from guitar shops, insurance (Parcelforce's weasel-words prevent you covering musical instruments to their full value so I use drop-off services via Interparcel), and it could [i]still[/i] go t!ts-up. So... I do have sympathy for collection-only sellers. Considering I now have to travel at least 40-50 miles to find a decent guitar or bass shop, going to see something 100 miles away is not such a hardship. However, Scotland is out of the question, and Wigan should definitely be avoided.

Although a lot of the Anthology material isn't great, this could be. Possibly.

[quote name='obbm' timestamp='1380615018' post='2227732'] Used mine with a Schroeder 1212L. Great sound. [/quote] OBBM and I tried his MB200 through my BF Midget at the SE Bass Bash - didn't really cut it, the amp definitely wants 4ohm to bring out its best.

It's going to be the tuners that suffer the worst!

I suppose the hard part might be finding a dealer with stock, but as a first fretless it's got to be a good option - cheap as chips, and lines instead of frets to help you get started.

I only use tremolo on skinny-string, for which my choice is the Danelectro Cool Cat Tremolo: metal housing, 3PDT true bypass, lovely opto-based circuit, control knobs safely out of the way of my stomping size 11s, 'hard' mode gives you on/off effect - expect to pay around £30 used.

You mean this: Looks lovely, even has lines for those of us who like to cheat Haven't tried one but gotta be worth a go - different flavour to the J version.
