King Tut

Balls I've just bought a new one in red but green is my fav colour!

Did you manage to get an off the shelf scratchplate for the Mustang or did you have to have one made up?

This resurrection has encouraged me to give mine an airing!

I just bought a Yamaha TRBX 305. Weighs in at bang on 9lb. I like it lots!

Same for me!

I played at The 100 Club last year. I let the support band use my rig, which Wasa barefaced BB2 and an Eden EX112 powered by my 'spare' amp which was an Elf. They were a loud classic rock band called Pig Iron. The sound engineer had to ask Hugh, their bass player, to turn down. So yeah if you're playing through efficient speakers, they're loud enough to gig!

"The first adds a more vintage vibe to your tone and the second gives you extra punch that's ideal for slapping." . . . . . otherwise known as VLE and VPF?!

Ive got a natural 76 Precision that looks a bit like this, bought from @Old Horse Murphy some years back. Dubious in looks but light as a feather, plays like butter and tone to die for!

Just wanted to share this rather nice vid from our show at The Garage. Essentially Rik 4003 into Joyo Orange Juice into Bugera Veyron 1001T. Di Post EQ. You can hear the bass a treat with headphones. I'm pretty happy with that tone.

Nice - our rhythm guitarist in Stray uses a couple of HB guitars!

I've changed my board a bit and now using a Joyo Orange Juice for a mild overdrive. If you clip the pre on the Veyron it tends to rough it up a bit, particularly if you boost the mids on the middle of the three settings. Ironically I'm trying it with 2k boosted tonight for a bit more edge! EDIT - just realised you've got the MOSFET version.

So i've used my Bugera for the last three nights having done 7 on the bounce with my Trace - all other things being equal. Last night can't count as we had a bit of a balls up. The engineer accidently knocked my DI switch from post to pre when we changed bands which resulted in massive bass going to front of house overwhelming the mix which we had to work through. However in Norwich, and tonight, at The Garage, I had a glorious sound, more than enough volume and a really nice focussed low mid. The EQ isn't as versatile as the Trace but the sound is nice and musical, and the convenience factor is great. So my Bugera is the way forward for the time being!

Thanks Lozz. It's going through just the B1xfour on that song with a fuzz setting (a muff I think) and a Joyo Orange Juice. Fuzztastic!

The Victoria Club Aylesbury, dreadfull load in and bad parking. Also a pub in the allegedly posh part of Luton (name escapes me). Horrible atmosphere and chavvy clientele.

Pedant alert . . . . . it's a UV light, not a green light on mine 😉
