Might you want to sell the amp separately?

As above, the feeling and groove is more important than the finer detail I think, unless it's a tribute band where authenticity is key. 

Significant fills recognisable by Joe public should be prominent, but not slavishly so. 

I've seen many function bands trying to sound exactly like the original, changing their sounds entirely between songs, and it tends to be rather chintzy.

Ty Segall knows how to do a good cover: rocky, fuzzy, keeping a distinctive riff but making the song his own:

Oh my word. The last photo suggests he's a full speed Walter Mitty character who turns up to Remembrance parades wearing medals he bought on eBay. They do indeed walk among us.

This does chime with my very limited experience switching between pre and post valve power section on my old amp to see what the power section offered.

The inevitable question is, given how we have got behind modellers such as the HX Stomp, is "what is a suitable power amp to go for?"

Where and when is that?! 

This Sunday 10am - 4pm near Taunton, £10 to cover food etc, details on the topic page:

Will this thing of desire be making an appearance at the SW Bass Bash...?

Is your 80s Jazz Special a Japanese one?

I can bring mine too and we can compare - I bet yours is nicer!

It is! Not in pristine condition by any means, plays very well though. Brand new excessively zingy roundwounds on which I'm trying to wear in. Might put some flats on it.

I'm definitely in!  I guess sit's just a case of bringing stuff people might want to try?
I'll come with my Fender 80's Jazz Special, MB500 (if not sold), HX Stomp and Vanderkley 210MNT. 
 

Great cabs at a decent price. Well worth a trip beyond the Carrot Curtain to pick these up.  Best of luck!

Keen to hear opinions as I'm looking at getting a hybrid amp.

Would a single VK 210 real ly cut it with a loud drummer and no.PA support 

 

 

There are others on here with more gigging experience using a VK cab, but from my one evening with a 210 and amp not even halfway up, I'd say 'yes'.

Just get a VK210 MNT (or possibly an LNT, although your DG won't need that much power handling) and you won't need a second cab. Your ears will totally love you. Job done. 

+1 for this. I bought two for a discount and am in dire need to give them both a run, but the single 210 MNT I used at a pub gig was clear as a bell (with 500W SS amp).

------------- SOLD ------------------

Evening all,

I acquired this not too long ago as a back up to my all-valve beast. The latter is now sold so this is not essential anymore.
I don't think this needs much of a spiel; it's a GK. It does THAT sound very well and is extremely well built.

There's a wee bit of marking on the top where items have been placed on it but it's in good nick aside from that.  If anyone requires a photo of the amp guts then let me know.

It comes with the snazzy GK case. It would make a lovely handbag if you're stuck for choice on your wife's next birthday. Tell her "GK is the new Prada" or something, you never know...

Also included is the power cord, footswitch and cable.

Seeing as musicians spend a small fortune on kit, I think it's the least a singer can do to have their own decent mic and stand. 

It'd be a shame to split this up. A touch on the heavy side for me; that'll be the electronics and slab body I guess.

This is definitely in the category of "probably shouldn't have sold mine". I had one potential buyer (not on BC) be rather sniffy about it only being Mexican made at that price. He clearly didn't know what he was looking at; these are great instruments.

Yes, I had a seller who had a wrap on the knuckles from FeeBay for sending his address. 

In the House of Cards-like refrain "you may say that, I couldn't possibly comment", you could send a photo with a phone number hidden on a bit of paper by the instrument (not too obvious of course).

If nobody else pipes up - I can sort you out. 

No need to pay for fuel. 

Much obliged, thank you!  Not 100% but am keen; will update 🙂

Anyone travelling from Bristol that would be able to offer a lift in exchange for fuel money and/or excellent conversation?

I think we are all itching to hear a sound clip...

Crikey this is a stunner! 

Bought some strings from Chris, all good - another smooth transaction on BC,

Cheers!

Having two is most indulgent 😁

Did this ever sell, may I ask?

I used mine for a pub gig the other night into a class D amp. Pretty happy with it; to my amateur ears the amp sim and compression alone justifies it, and I can simply adjust the amp EQ according to the venue. It's not simple to dial in like my old tube amp (patience and experimentation needed), but the convenience in moving and setting up for playing to a load of drunk Bristolians is well worth it! 

I'd say get one online with a return guarantee and see how you fair with it.
