  1. Just found some TE Knobs in a friend's spares collection, but only white ones. Also had a play with my expanding collection of Cabs. AH500x power stage split both full range into 1) Laney N410 + N115 2) Epifani UL212 (4 ohm cab). A recent purchase from @Berserker. Hee hee hee. My meglomaniacal plans for world domination are complete 😀🤣🤣. Trace drove this lot without a hint of a problem. Thanks @stewblack. Epifani sounds bloody awesome on its own @ 500watts too.
  2. Same vendor has just put up an LH Gordon Smith Gypsy on here, does look much nicer. Also cheaper. Suspect Mods ought to shift his post to Commercial Items for sale tho.
  3. Used to have the brilliant Francois Moze playing Bass for them, his excellent playing on Gong - Gazeuse is an inspiration. As is the Album.
  4. Leather pickguard and a bit drab looking I guess.
  5. Went to Bloomsbury Theatre many years ago to see Magma. Was perplexed to see Steve Davis there, turned out he'd underwritten and organised the Gig
  6. My Dad was obsessed with the Great C Major, still have his multiple vinyl versions. Might dig out his DG Berlin Philharmonic Conducted by Ferenc Fricsay and give it a spin. Live my beautiful turntable - play CDs more often admittedly.
  7. Agreed 100%. Naming no names re lesser peers, suspect our pet peeves might be similar.
  8. Mike Lipe "the lip" 5 str left handed. 1992. Saw this had failed to sell at Gardiner Holgate Auction (£420) and tried to chase vendor up via auctioneers. Now on Reverb at a Guitar Shop in Ipswich. £1,495. More than I can afford, but this luthier a legend to rank with Mr Lull. Would love to try it out but probably best no to!
  9. The drummist can't remember. His little grey cells have been extruded through his right ear 🥴
  10. Am loving the Laney N115, It's teeny light and has a lot of oomph. In fact startling on it's own with the Trace and tweeter on full. Weird to be able to carry a 15" cab 1 handed.
  11. Will steal/adapt anything that I like from whatever the genre. Do wish that I didn't have 57 y/old fingers mind you. Do like my Sire's trans blue finish, amazingly fetching for a cheapy. KSD looks nice, where the finish is still extant !!
  12. There's a really nice looking G&L Tribute 4 str on evilbay at the moment btw
  13. Been delving into music theory for a while, was a bit familiar when I was doing my Bassoon grades @ School. So am doing my own stuff, primarily a home Bassist. Though Jams are improvs on familiar songs with my Pals, do like a Geddy attempt plus some guitar heroics.
  14. Had a blast for only 1/2 hour with SL through N210 & N115. Very impressed with versatility and convenience of the footswitching , but could only scratch the surface of tilt etc etc. Didn't strike me as having the oomph/heft suggested by 2x 500 watts though. Nicely made, feels a bit lightweight/flimsy in comparison to a Trace (;?!🤣), but apparently their reliability has been exemplary. Would have given the monster Laney Valve Head a go too but was short of time.
  15. Now reduced to £450. Someone's selling an RH 704 at a rather optimistic £790.
  16. Some of Eastwood's basses look like a sort of "Flash Gordon on Acid" nightmare to me. Each to their own I guess. Someone on Basses and Amplification FB Group loves his AK-47 Bass 😞😅
  17. Had an Audiolab 8000a with Gale Gs01 speakers for a long time. Wish I'd kept them as am still nostalgic for the way they produced music.
  18. Acquired a Laney N115 today - to go with an N410. These are brilliant Cabs and are very well matched both have LaVoce compression HF drivers. Studios where I picked this up use N210 & N115 combined with the SL head in most of their rooms. More on that in another thread, v impressive combination.
  19. It's on sale at Yeovil Guitars. Reduced from £295. No idea what it is either, allegedly constructed by a French Luthier.
  20. Am going to check an SL out on Monday while I'm picking up an N115 Cab, there's an N210 there as well. A friend's thinking about buying the head. Better remember to take a Bass 😆 Will report next week I guess.
  21. Imagine it sounds epic through that SWR Cab.
  22. Check the back for "knee-cap rash"
  23. Still at least you got an exceptionally beautiful/tasteful looking Bass.
