You’d at least get a bravery award…

Posthumous, obviously.

Am I the only one hanging onto this thread and waiting to hear if there's a match on this? I love a good back story!

Or did it get taken to pm to protect the innocent?

Taken to PM, but it looks like there's no match on this one. My Dad was mostly playing in jazz bands around that time, but he also worked the club scene as an agency drummer. Didn't really play with many guitar bands, but it was worth asking the question. Thanks to @wateroftynei for the info.👍

@wateroftynedo you know the name of the band? The drummer looks a lot like old photos of my Dad, who used to play in bands across the north east 60-ish years ago!

Pretty sure that model / colour combo was very limited run, and restricted to the Japanese market only. As others have said, the quality is nearly universally good. I've had a couple and they are great. Always wanted the lake placid blue, especially if it's the Old Lake Placid Blue shade.

Pics required!

Would so love to, but too far away, I'm afraid. Nate is a super cool player.

Thought this was going to be a thread about 90's indie outfit Neds Atomic Dustbin... disappointed.

Looks like a great wee amp for the money!

Horn section was outstanding, the rest... meh.

And I usually love anything with Cory Wong, but honestly, he might as well have not been there.

Wow. I seriously like that!

Where was that?  Nosey Aberdonian asking - feel free to PM if you prefer not to say publicly

 

Pretty sure it was Drummonds, but to fair this was about 15 years ago, so I'm sure they've got their act together since then.

How many time have folks asked to see a venue's EICR certificate, when they have asked the band for proof of PAT testing?

I tried it at a venue in Aberdeen, where we were getting horrible earth hum from the fridges, through the PA. Management were not very amused.

Cheers. I have a set of Wizards in my PJ at the moment, which are great, but you just hear so many good things about the Fralin's. That's a lot to splash out just to see if you like them, though...

Always wanted to try a set of these. What do they retail for?

That is a lush colour! GLWTS.

And he's still got his thumb!

Sterling work. 😁

Err... no.

I do see the x-ray of a pair of shoulder blades, a spinal column and pelvis, though.

Hard pressed to chose between those two, but probably the top one, for me, although I do like the colours in the other one betterer.

Always handy if you should ever find yourself up Sh!t Creek, and at a loss for a rowing implement, though...

Weird. I remember seeing Kingdom Come at the Edinburgh Playhouse, supporting Sabbath, I think. I quite enjoyed them, but don't recall them being Zep merchants. Will have to have a dig through the vinyl collection and see if I stil have the albums.

I really like the idea of the binding! Always thought it was a great way of being able to cut a grain-matching cover and then fill it out to fit the space.

Best wishes, Blue! Keep rockin' and keep us updated!

And would a Placebo tribute be nothing more than a sham? I guess Placebo Placebo.....?

The Placebo Effect?

Ooooft!

That is all.

It.... burns... burns!

Hi @Bassworks, yes, it would keep the Big Head unit intact but, for me, pretty much 100%  of the time I'm likely to want to use the headphone amp, I'm going to be sitting down anyway, so wouldn't have the strap on.

I'm looking to minimise the amount of gear and cables I need to deal with, when I want to rehearse. Ideally there would be a Bluetooth receiver in there as well, to feed the audio input of the Big Head, but that's an additional level of complexity for now.

Good to see you back, Blue!

Stay healthy, or @Dad3353 will start sending you flowers...
