Thank you. They're both amazing heads. I'm still in love with the R-400 after years of ownership - but there's no denying the WB is the only head that could tear me away from it. They both have broadly the same pre's, but that 120w-worth of valves really does slam. You're best getting in touch with Leszek at [email protected], or keep an eye out for something used. Whichever you go for, you won't be disappointed.

Quite.

This:

I've got PAT stickers on my stuff that I bought from eBay just in case, but I've never been asked.

I guess you could get into the minutiae of it, but - in my opinion - it's not live. It's been done already, and it's being played back. Not that Ed cares what I think, mind.

As live as recording it the day before, I guess.

"...everything you hear tonight is completely live.." No it isn't.

It might not be, but only because not enough people ask for them like this.

Sure is a Limelight...

Natural disaster..?

I believe that's one of Finnie Vodera's best creations.

FWIW, lovely as the oval ultralites are, they’d look a bit odd on a Limelight (IMO). Resolites are equally lovely, and look authentic (but aren’t oval, obv.)

Last show ‘ever’ at the O2 tonight. Mr. Gabriel is there, in an audience capacity at least….

I believe the necks are Allparts, and the bodies and pickups are their own.

The may well be lovely basses (haven't played on yet) but do they still use captive gerbils to nibble at the edge of the bodies? That always put me off a bit.

They're great. Do a search on BC and you'll find loads of info.

It was merged with a similar thread and the other thread's title won.

It all goes a bit Spirit of Radio around the 2m mark, doesn't it? ...or rather Spirit of Radio went a bit Sadistic Mika Band.

I think the OP is asking about valve heads, not hybrids.

It's well played, but... jeez. Those vocals.

Speaking from experience, the producers will constantly be on the lookout for even the slightest thread of an angle, a story to tell… even if it only becomes a ‘thing’ in the edit suite.

Aye, the Handbox WB-100 is just the job. It's a thing of (very loud) beauty.

St . Paddy's gig at one of Newcastle's most beautiful bars. Here's some singalong bits. Absolutely heaving, and a great afternoon. On the down side, it'll be a miracle if we don't all get covid.
