    Yep, I play bass for Katy Hurt who originally branded herself “country” but there are so many influences in her music it’s easier to call it Americana. Doing Black Deer fest this year, have done Buckle and Boots, Rock’n’Ribs, Long Road in the last and hopefully again in the future. As @jimmyb625 says the festival scene does sometimes feel like a very closed club though. Have met some lovely people through it though - Gasoline and Matches, The Jackson Line, Two Ways Home to name a few bands worth checking out.

    I vote you hold off for an ST to appear in the classifieds, that way if you decide it’s not for you you won’t lose as much on it. And for me, no tweeter 🤓

    That’s a fine shout.

    Brilliant cab. I use one with my TE1200; I’ve used it for punishingly loud bands and it hasn’t batted an eyelid with the TE. I have to say I find the Barefaced 10s “easier” and as @Lozz196 says, you need to consider your EQ a bit with these. I ended up setting up a switchable 10 band EQ on my HX Effects to soften the mids a bit and it’s perfect. So for me, 10s for the smaller gigs with PA support and 12s for the gigs where I have no PA to help.

    I’m miraculously still in too. Not a lot tempting me and no budget to go crazy so that’s handy.

    My last two Katy Hurt gigs have had the 500W combo as backline. Hugely impressive little things. Bet the 800W slams!

    Agreed @BassAdder60 I keep saying I find the TE1200 an excellent “pedal platform”. The core tone is superb but if you want grit or anything else, the amp just soaks it up and makes it sound better. A really impressive noise machine 😎

    I agree wholeheartedly regarding the TE1200 Martin - glad you are liking too!

    Literally says no trades in bold in the OP…

    Stunning bass, sounds incredible and plays incredibly easily. I can’t do 6 strings, and I can’t really cope with headlesses, but this is a beaut and I didn’t completely embarrass myself when I have had the pleasure of fondling it. And a top bloke to deal with to boot.

    Hi John, No idea what “flat” settings are I’m afraid. AFAIK mine is still stock, I’ve done nothing to it since buying it from here in about 2018/2019 IIRC. Sorry I can’t be any more help!
  12. Merton
    I think you’ll be very happy. I run into either the hi or low gain input depending what I want to do - the hi gain giving more break up earlier on. And the EQ can be used to help as well - it’s subtle and not overbearing so pushing the bass for example will help load the valves without becoming mushy. HTH

    That’s an insane price! Not sure enough people appreciate how good these are - good luck with the sale!

    Thankfully the VS212 (and I presume the LB212) was super efficient.
  15. Merton
    What @ossyrocks said ☝🏻 I had almost exactly that rig (CTM100 and VS212) and it was plenty for gigs, assuming they weren’t massive or you had PA support if they were.
  16. Merton
    Oh my, that is exactly the Lionel spec I would choose. If you ever want to move it on, please let me know. I suspect you will enjoy it for many years though!

    I’m seeing @asingardenof in two weeks, and will be driving back down south to Surrey. Wrong side of the country but if it helps bring it closer to someone who can take it across then I’m happy to help

    Oh my days. This is causing me some serious wobbles in the whole abstinence challenge!
  19. Merton
    Do it, you won’t regret it!
  20. Merton
    Shhhhhh! (Note - this isn’t me, it’s my evil twin)

    Just on the way home from a bloody marvellous Katy Hurt gig at the Fiddler’s Elbow in Camden. Was hot, was rocking, was great fun. Roll on the two Northern dates in a fortnight. And hopefully many more as the summer gets into gear…
  22. Merton
    So sorry for your loss @Gasman
  23. Merton
    Bargain. I love mine! @Rich look at me, I’m helping 😀
  24. Merton
    I concur.
  25. Merton
    Almost fell but realised it was a pointless purchase, so I’m still in!
