    I just thought round wounds ended up as sink drain cleaners when they died.

    I’ve been offered a Gnome, so sale only £150 for a great amp in great condition housed in a brand new rack case. Fab Amp, flexible tonal shaping, 400 watts at 4ohm, built to last and housed in a new 2U rack deep case. Would keep this but the EA cab is so much lighter I’ve decided to go for a lightweight amp too as I only use it at home. My “big rig” needs are met through other means. Solid-state with 400W @ 4 ohms. This is a great amp: quiet, powerful, and very adjustable. 3-way switches for low, mids, and high settings of cut, flat, and boost plus parametric filter settings for mid boost/cut and high cut. An 8-band graphic with switchable bypass offers further tone tweaking. There's a 3-way switch for limiter on, on-with-graphic, and off. Phone jack out. DI out, switchable pre/post. The rear panel gives you a groundlift, tuner out, line out (post master), effects loop, footswitch for graphic on/off. Speaker outs include one XLR and one Speakon. Fan cooling. Full protection. Very adjustable and set flat, it has a strong, smooth, transparent clean sound. Happy to meet up within a reasonable pre arranged distance, or pop over for a try out. No postage at this stage, sorry. cash is also good.

    I tend to look angry or annoyed.

    Guess this sold @MattW?

    The only concern I have about the WL20 is that reviews state that they’re suited for passive pickups, not active and I swap between active and passive. Do you guys use both/either? Thanks. John

    This is an interesting thread as I’ve been toying with wireless for a series of gigs with a couple of bands over the next 6 months or so. Mostly uk theatres but also Northern Europe. I don’t use pedals and use active Stingray and passive Ps. None of the rest of the band use wireless except IEM for bvs in one band. I’ve heard the argument for spending out for the top range kit, and also some of you have been happy with £50 jobs. I’ll be playing maximum 12 shows and likely to drop out in the new year to concentrate on my duo writing project, which rarely gigs. So not sure I can justify top dollar as I don’t gig like many of you do here. Im wondering about Smooth Hound or Boss? Thoughts?

    Love it! Thanks for sharing. Today they’d quantise the life out of it.

    Thanks for the “extra large” vote of confidence 😎

    Think I’ve just made a mess ❤️❤️

    There are hundreds. But one I haven’t played for ages, but love, is “I will survive”…… yes THAT one.

    TBF The song is a remake of the original 80’s recording. There must have been a lot of it about back then 😂

    Jo Burt band has released the first track from the new album (autumn release). We’ll be out gigging in the autumn with a couple of warm ups in the summer. https://youtu.be/Iql4-NsGrrk

    I’m in two bands. Both have exact same personnel except for the drummers. So it’s really one band but we play for 2 different artists. Makes it a lot easier and everyone is fab. The guitarist learns his parts and is better prepared than everyone most of the time. Makes such a difference. If he was a dik I’d be asking him to move on.

    £290 anyone? Not getting played, needs a home.

    I bought this back recently as I realised how ungentlemanly I had become.

    A gentleman is someone who owns a bass with a maple unlined fretless board.

    Yours Brendon. I’ll give it a clean up. I’ll drop you a text. 😎

    Yours if you want to collect, otherwise it’s off to the recycling. No idea of make or model, it came off a body I wanted. I’ll do some measuring later, but it’s a chunky thing and the truss rod works. I’m located in Bath. Occasionally work in Poole.
  22. oldslapper
    That’s fab!

    I like the look of a maple unlined fretless board. I prefer the feel of ebony board. I have had rosewood boarded fretless , but can’t remember what they felt like. I can’t tell the difference in how they all sound though. But that’s because my ears are shot. So, in summary, I'm of no help whatsoever. Move on….

    Bernie Taupin’s (post bong) typewriter produced these. Enjoy the matchless Dee Murray’s bass playing whilst making sense of the lyrics.

    @Quatschmacher I can post at no extra cost, neck off, if still interested.
