Delivered, unpacked and now set-up. My initial test with new gear is to check how it sounds straight out the box. So, I'll start with contents: out the box you get, the amp, power supply, footswitch, instrument and speaker lead - all good for a £122. Next up, plug in to see how it sounds. I'm pairing it with a TC BC208 cab and using my 1999 EBMM stingray. Low, Mid & Hi all set to far left position (off or low) comp switch at normal and control at 9am, gain at 8am and volume at 10am - morning times for illustration purposes and context. Plugged in the bass for instant nice tone and volume. Moving the EQ section to midday, adjusting the volume to full and working the gain up from zero, is astonishing! The footswitch appears to activate the compressor of which, is not too bad given the price of the amp. It is a single valve (AX7) 50w at 4 ohms little head that I'm running 20w at 8 ohms through my BC208 - it is loud at 20w. Will test more in the coming days but I am very impressed for more or less out the box tone & volume.

Not checked yet but cheers for the reminder 👍

I bought one of these but DHL seem unable to deliver it. Will chuck a few lines up as soon as delivered and played with.

They were supporting Smith & Kotzen. what a performance by both bands.

Take a bow son! Absolutely on the money bass player from the Dust Coda. Just finished their set at the Garage in Glasgow, superb bassist and band.

Yeah I got that from you. It's all this new internet use of or hijacking words that mean other than what they are currently being used for. The Mail, Express & Sun are awful for their use of the false narrative. All you need to do is look at the way the Scottish Government is portrayed by these rags in the south when in actual fact the truth is substantially different from the printed nonsense. E.G. Scot Gov to stop Brexit!

As a 60s kid, that whole culture and use of internet trendy statements, make me cringe. lol

On my iPhone, I was in at 21kz and out at 12.5khz, iMac was in at 24hz and out at 14.5khz. I guess the mediums used to test can throw up different results.

This pops up periodically for me and I still find it interesting: I'm in about 24hz and out about 14.5khz. Although I will be rechecking the lower frequency on a proper HiFi system.

I think I'd look past it and start hoovering! Order from chaos, lovely!

Very true! I'd love J'lo's bass 🥰

This is very noticeable on a US Fender against its Mexican/Chinese/Japanese/Indonesian & Korean Fender cousins. Hmm, wonder why Fender didn't build any in Taiwan?? The headstock on a US Fender is a few mm thinker than those of the aforementioned countries. Stupidly, it really irks me and stops me buying Fender that is not US.

Don’t tempt me 😋

One I’ve already made and regret more than I can tell you.

Given the amount of time he has missed the input, his other half must be mighty frustrated! I'll get ma coat!

That makes sense given the research available on google. They are nice but yeah with all that character, its probably too much at £875. Your abstinence is working well ;D

I thought they were worth about £1k? I must be off with the pricing these days lol

There is quite a few BB goodies on eBay today

Another cheap nice one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255373422637?hash=item3b7571302d:g:bN4AAOSwZitiAC0y Might be a steal: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/194798082860?hash=item2d5adedb2c:g:OoIAAOSwvzZh~l~m Good for some at a reasonable price: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/194796044643?hash=item2d5abfc163:g:fbkAAOSwlQ1h5ZQ2
