You haven't said what you actually want, they're all very different.

Support act for a band in Brum. Headliner was supplying a 200w Warwick Gnome with a 110 cab, which I didn't think would cut it for how loud we play, so took my Ashdown RM500 and a 210 cab. On stage sound wasn't great for monitoring so glad I could crank my amp to get some top end out of it. The singer from my old metal band 2006-2007 came along too, hadn't seen him in 15 years so that was cool to catch up. Not a big turn out at about 25-30 people but first gig of the year and blew the cobwebs out. No particular issues or messups - solid performance.

My gear has obviously changed since I originally posted. It might still as there are 2 whole days left. It'll be: Dingwall D-Roc 5 MTD Kingston Super 5 Yamaha BBG4 (will be for sale at a cheeky price) Warwick Gnome 280w Ashdown RM210 Zoom B2 Four

Can we stop the S&M chat already.

@ped do you have an alert set up for that phrase ?

I guess the gimp suit is off the cards then.

If anyone around Tamworth wants a lift there drop me a PM.

I saw the BD post and really considered ordering one, but I don't like Duran Duran, 4 strings, or pink. Dingwall are great at advertising.

Here's a close up from my D-Roc, you have to adjust both bridge screws to avoid them slipping between the gap when adjusting the height.

Just went to check on it and it had gone - glad it was you ! Let us know how it is.

Seen that and it's been heavily reduced. On close inspection it looks like a Gibson era model, the price looks about right I think. If you buy online you can always return it if it isn't for you.

MachinesofHate checking in too.

The idea and motive behind this is absolutely great. However I am an absolute bass slut and the thought of one bass to play (however good it is) fills me with terror. I am down to 8 basses after selling one today, one is pending sold, another is still for sale. This will drag me down to a measly 6, which is a poor show but just about enough variety for my whims.

Lanky Brummy who asked you if you had far to travel.

Hey @spacecowboy, I was there when you turned up to check it out. Good choice sir.

April 2023 update

Needs a few rehearsal/gigs to be fully reviewed, but. I will admit I am fully bored of looking at the claret red of the B3n (had it about 5 years) and this looked so much better. I actually grabbed a B6 when they came out to try, and yes it has a better/bigger colour LCD, but I feel there are no differing sounds/effects available to the B2 Four. I also prefer a smaller footprint that can fit in the front pocket of a gigbag, which this does fine. It's actually a bit smaller than the B3n top to bottom and definitely lighter (1.2kg vs 0.9kg)

My Dad has one of their prototype Telecaster copies. Only looked at it quickly but it seems quite decent. That said, they seem to be more expensive than other cheap starter copies, and time will tell if they can compete with Harley Benton which are quite a bit cheaper.

Came today. Initially a bit confusing as very different interface to the B3n. However underneath that is it much the same and once you can navigate the UI quickly it's no issue (couple of hours). A few new sounds to the B3n and the Djent Preamp will be good for me. Overall not a necessary upgrade, but it was reasonably priced and has a lot better connectivity which will give me easier ways to record at home than the B3n. Annoyingly there is an iOS app but not Android (maybe in time), so i'm only using the buttons for now. I think it looks cool, it's sturdy and totally reminds me of an F-117A. Check out this comparison ! Zoom B2 Four: Lockheed F-117A:

Noted.

Thread revival time. I sold my blue swirl, don't particularly remember why but never mind. A couple of days ago @The fasting showman put his L-5500 up for sale, pulled the trigger and picked it up yesterday. Only a 20 min drive too ! Came with original branded hardcase, a spare pickup (there was a 40J in the bridge position) and a few other bits. Spent the afternoon giving it a full service/clean and sounds bang on.
