Second three-gig weekend on the trot (kind-of)... this time with three different bands. Friday was a dep at a club in Sunderland with an Eagles / CSNY / Byrds / Steely Dan etc. band I occasionally work with. This time they also had a dep guitarist, which kept things extra spicy. Lots of hoying in BVs and last-minute set additions to cater for the even newer dep. Gig two was a charity do with a bunch of pals. 250 people in a club in Cullercoats. Raised a load of cash for North East homeless. Here's a bit of a tune: ..and gig 3 was supposed to be the highlight, but unfortunately it wasn't to be. The first gig by another of my old bands in ten years at a festival not far from home. Very excited, people traveling from afar... but the British weather had other plans. Two songs in, the heavens opened. Ah, well. Here's to 2032.

I’m seeing asking prices go nuts at the moment. Whether they’re fetching those prices is another thing.

I’ve had a couple that I would happily use as my #1 over my ‘71. But my ‘71 looks so cool and is an investment. They’re just wood, wire and metal. It’s not like they packed special 60’s and 70’s chemicals into them.

Leszek has a few Class D’s in the line-up in the past, but he prefers A/B.

I would agree.

Aye... I've seen a few of those recently.

I have an idea but I'm saying nowt 😄

As far as I'm aware they're still out of action 😞

I mean... look at it. It's a technical marvel.

Someone landing on the URL is likely to know if they want a 4-string, 5-string, Fender, etc. I’m sure they’ll cater for that in time as mentioned.

In what way?

What did they say when you emailed them to flag it to them?

Not sure it is - probably just a temporary oversight. Standard UX practice is to get the customer to what they want to buy with as little fuss as possible… then dangle other things in front of them.

It makes perfect sense to me. People want to see the band. The band can’t perform. This is the next best thing and, as far as I can tell, they’re backed by a live band. All good.

Well, since the OP asked, here's my unpopular musical opinion: Everything about Jacob Collier makes me want to go and live in an isolation tank.

Amen.

It matters to me, and I think that’s pretty important.

No.

That’s really nice. Was it a custom order? Can I ask what it cost?

…in red ink, too? Or… is it BLOOD???

Hmm... that's an odd neck stamp. I think they occasionally popped up in the mid 70's..?

I can say that the Handbox R-400 is - IMO - the God of class A/B's, but understand that it doesn't meet your criteria for native UK support.

Just a thought: would like to see him do it with a bass, to see whether hairy-ar5ed bass frequencies give a different result.

It's a fact of life - like it or not, there's nowt you can do about it other than politely ask people nicely not to do it. ...but then you'd look a bit prima donna-ish.
