I like how they announce 'the original Badass is back!' even though it's versions II and III...

But, no adverse feedback, even when cranked right up! This of course is a common issue with lesser instruments.

They were good, but far better when they were supporting someone else. Their work with the great Tony Sheridan is sublime.

You're welcome! 😆

Different shape headstock, improved pickup on the Epiphone - JC has said the pickup was weak on the Gibson.

Erm... Fender Geddy Lee Jazz - one of the early CIJ ones. I liked the tone but it didn't work as well for the band as my Precision, so I sold it. Also, the neck was so thin my left hand would cramp. Waterstone Tom Petersson - purchased from @NancyJohnson, loved the sound but found it a bit cumbersome. Unfortunately it lead me to unfairly dismiss 12 strings as a bit difficult to play until I had a ride on @Wolverinebass's Hamer. Gibson Les Paul Bass - looked amazing, sounded like the grandest of grand pianos, weighed about 15lb. Sent back to the shop. I've always been a massive fan of Rush so that definitely influenced by decision. My admiration for Tom Petersson has grown since owning the Waterstone, but I don't regret sellng it.

Serious question - is this a genuine problem with extensive tattoos?

I thought SH used Hiwatts, but this new one doesn't sound much like my Leeds. Well the SH setting might but it's not a tone I've ever tried to replicate. I've been considering selling my Leeds as it hasn't seen any action since I got my DP-3X, but I know I'd regret it instantly!

Surf Green, surely?

I'm not hearing much of a similarity myself. Nice enough pedal though. I had one for a while but preferred my Tech 21 Leeds. I wonder why Joyo never cloned that one?

Tony Iommi suffered with terrible writer's block after Vol 4. So he moved to a haunted castle, got frightened out of his wits and wrote Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. So, that's always an option.

Cool!

6ft 3, and not exactly slim, and that is why I can never be seen playing a Warwick Thumb.

True. I use the DP-3X all the time and don't sound remotely like dug!

This is getting silly now. I'm not a SH fan but I think I need this pedal.

Looks like an Epiphone to me. Tokai's have a Fender-style bridge IIRC, and they don't have the headstock droop that the bolt-on epis have these days.

It will never replace your Paradriver...

So it's two Marshalls in a miniature box?

And what's with the bizarre horror movie sting at the beginning?!

"Is this a joke?!" - Nigel Tufnel

Is that a lined microtonal fretless?

Who knew the full length version of the Rainbow theme is actually a haunting slab of progressive folk...

I wish Pertwee had made a whole album like this.

I sold my EBS Multidrive to Matthew - no problems at all, a pleasure to do a deal with!
