Probably, but I wonder if they've factored in the aversion to Evri that may make people stop buying things from them if they keep using Evri as a courier

Breed - Nirvana

Have you tried replying to others' adverts as well?

I bought a string winder in there to show willing 😎

They had a bit of fanfare when they were first launched, with The Bass Channel for one giving a glowing review on their YT channel, but Warwick and Sadowsky's marketing has been, frankly, awful. I suspect they're likely to be pretty good, with some of the issues the first iteration faced now resolved, but it'll be interesting seeing opinions on whether it's clear cut that being double the price of a Sire V7 is justified.

I think I bought my old Marshal 4x12 cab in there back when I were nought but a student with student loan money burning a hole in my bank account. It looks a lot more salubrious in there now than it did in the late 90s!

In that case let me point you at Music & Bean in Okehampton, Devon. Great little shop!

I know the upgrade was borne of necessity (well, technically it wasn't strictly necessary) but the replacement of the stock preamp in my V7 with the Sadowsky one has done wonders for it.

She Bangs - Ricky Martin

Fast Fuse - Kasabian

Don't GK make powered speakers for their MB range? Would one of those work?

Last time I did this sort of thing it was on a cricket tour in Reading, and the police stopped us and told us to keep it down. Everyone sobered up pretty quickly at that apart from one lad who decided to try and be funny (emphasis on try) and as a result spent the second night of the tour in a cell at Reading police station until one of our elder statesmen picked him up in the morning. It took a couple of seasons before we stopped taking the piss out of him for it.

I wonder if the two new people are aware of the circumstances of the band's formation. Might be fun to tell them to watch their backs.

Didn't yer man in Journey play one of these?

Yep, a mate of mine at school had a Sunn Stratocaster and this is what he told me about it.

It's what makes performing at some WMCs a bit hit or miss. If they have a mixed crowd then it can be a good night; if their membership is of the more elderly persuasion then if we haven't brought our own enthusiastic crowd then it's effectively a paid rehearsal even if the room is full.

We have a keyboardist who does this, as well as while we're all waiting to start on a tune.

It's basically D Db B Db D in the verse, and then A G G# A for the chorus. The little vamp at the end is quite fun too.

On a higher end one it might be Pau Ferro?

Good to know! A Sub 5 is on my radar for a 5er if the plan to acquire an L-2500 Tribute falls flat, but while it's nice to play I agree on the tone, so would definitely be looking to upgrade the preamp having had a taste for it with my V7, so it's good to know this is a solid plan.

We messed around with Teenage Kicks at a rehearsal just for a laugh because it's only three chords, and we basically nailed it on the first attempt so into the set list it went!

Oof! That's gorgeous.

Having heard her interview on 6 Music, accompanied by her occaisional session bassist for some reason, I'm quite enjoying listening to Fabiana Palladino. It definitely has a vibe to it.

I listened to this while fighting my way out of Manchester and it was really good. Starts about 1:59 here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0023qdw

Ooooh! I should be on the move around that sort of time so will listen to it in the car on the way home from Manchester!
