    First gig with one of my bands tomorrow! Still not named, one suggestion is we ask the audience to name us. 🥺
  2. Stub Mandrel
    Indeed!
  3. Stub Mandrel
    On vinyl 🙂

    Very distinctive but not unattractive instruments although I hate the little feet.
  5. Stub Mandrel
    I am content with my current mix of amps, which alresdy includes 2 TEs 😃

    Sadly out of reactions, that's great. Your guitarist is channelling Huw Lloyd Langton at one point or two 🙂

    Bearing in mind my comment above, perhaps the future is relatively inexpensive, easily replaced class D power bricks, and separate preamps that are a cross between a DI box and the front end of an amp.
  9. Stub Mandrel
    Probably both got the same Class Dpower stage. Which is irrelevant as all class D power stages are more or less identical (transparent) and it's all in the choice of preamp.

    Sold, Mods please close.

    This and the Virgin and the Gypsy, two awesome tracks, but this one is utterly kliller.
  12. Stub Mandrel
    They weren't one person fewer by the time of the second set, were they?

    Was in a band with Jack Cobb of Kynch and his dad for a while until Covid did for us! https://open.spotify.com/search/kynch

    Go a report today that one of the castors failed on my 1100 combo while being moved out of storage into the rehearsal room. Second time it's happened. Ordered some 360kg rated 75mm castors instead. I know they are meant to sound better on the floor, but be realistic! Incidentally, I've found that it sounds less bottom heavy but much more balanced when at least a foot, preferably two from the wall behind it. Anyone else had similar experience (it's 4x10)

    Best of luck with the future Jamie, and thanks for organising past bashes, including the two I went to. I'm now in South Wales rather than just outside Burton otherwise I would offer to lend a hand. Actually, being where I am, a Bass Bash south of Brum sounds a very good idea... do they still rent out the big rooms at Arrow Valley Visitor Centre 🙂

    Signed for is £8.99, ordinary second class is £7.99 PM with an offer if interested. 🙂

    Wow, where are you guys finding this shiny stuff. Share it on the TE Facebook Group, people will faint!

    Not keen to be honest. They seem to put a bit to much emphasis on feel, and songs like 'a remark you made' rely too much on melody and emotion rather than trying to showcase their technical proficiency. For goodness sake, they dont even have proper carpets on stage. I think I'll go burn my copy.

    Sounds lime you are where I was a few years back. One thing I do is find a reasonable tab for each dong i learn, edit it down so the essentials fit on one page - enough to get by. I now have loads of songs that even if i have forgotten I can pick up again quickly.
  22. Stub Mandrel
    I'll check.
  23. Stub Mandrel
    I'll have to take the back plate off and shine a torch in.

    This Tele body is late 80s so some of the wear is real but not most of it. Would benefit most from a thin coat of satin to give a uniform sheen and hide the swirl marks. Korean ply, but it's got some mojo. Through hole ferrules added by me. Redrilled to take vintage bridge. Worth £15 for the gorgeous mint green scratchplate alone 🙂 Would rather not post, but could do so at cost or drop off most places between Swansea and the Severn Bridge.

    When switched on, but not a big noise. For some reason it is really well-matched with my Fender performer. With the gain around 3 o'clock I can get clean sounds right along the neck by being gentle or dig in for crunchy distortion. I always think the mark of good distortion is that it doesn't rapidly fade away after the lowest octave or so.
