    Indeed! I doubt it will happen, but would prefer to be ready if it does…

    Pretty much. A few dates I can’t do (like the one Matt forgot to tell me about tonight 🤣) but will be filling bass shoes for most of them. Shame you can’t commit at the mo; in my opinion if you ever want to come back it’s your gig first and foremost 😎

    Fun gig in East Grinstead and a lovely outing for my glorious ACG Finn 5 which I keep mulling over selling then taking to a gig and going “fxxk me this is great”. Usual story with Matt starting off with good intentions following the set list only to get distracted and wander off playing songs either I or the guitarist didn’t know 😆 But we busked it and it seems no-one noticed or cared. Until the bar staff had to come and tell us to shut up at 11.30 because we should have stopped at 11…. Knackered 🤣 Edit for a pic:

    (For clarity, I made the drummer physically sick at last week’s rehearsal co if the high SPL … just for fun, y’know 😬)

    Depends if you’re the inducer or inducee 🤓😆

    Time for the vomit-inducing rig to have two nights out:

    Is it wrong to be proud of the fact I made my drummer physically sick with the high SPL of my Trace Elliot TE1200 + Barefaced Super Twin rig? 😲

      Not at all.  You should tell him he's lucky you didn't play the brown note.

      Sorry not sorry 😁

      Nope. Be very proud. Simply nudge the volume down slightly whilst giving the drummer your best "not regretting that in the slightest" smug smile.

    That’s lovely! And not helping my desire for the one at Fair Deal… argh.
  9. Merton
    I have used one, with a Trace Elliot Elf, in a loud rock covers band and no PA support. It did a sterling job!

    30” or 32” for me. Anything bigger feels… bigger 😆

    Purely cosmetic - Ashdown have a habit of tweaking things visually all the time.
  13. Merton
    Bargainous!
  14. Merton
    Well despite Fair Deal Music in Birmingham having pretty much the exact spec Sandberg Lionel I would want I am still in. I plan on remaining “in” too…. We’ll see 😅

    I have to say @tobiewharton I’m very glad that’s going your way. @eude sent me a pic earlier and I thought “oh good god I’m in trouble” 🤣🤣 Thankfully not 😃

    Woooof! That Jake is marvellous 😍

    Furyon’s debut album Gravitas. Far superior to their second and last album. Produced by Rick Beato. Huuuge sounding. Before that I was on the new Florence Black album, Bed Of Nails, which is mighty. Not sure if the neighbours agree, but.. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    If I hadn’t bought a Super Twin just before Christmas I’d be all over this, such a bargain!

    Currently clean but having a massive wobble, over either a Sandberg Lionel or commissioning another ACG. Aiming to stay the course, don’t hold yer breath though 😂
  20. Merton
    It is very tempting for no reason other than “I want one” 🤣
  21. Merton
    These are great fun. Still haven’t worked out how to emulate it with my HX Effects (possibly becuase I’m a luddite, or possibly because you can’t easily!)
  22. Merton
    Another lover of Newtones! Think I might need to order some more soon actually… I like the picks they’ve started doing too, though annoyingly dropped my favourite one down the bit between my car seat and the centre console and can’t find it 😭
  23. Merton
    I have that in my Zoot P5, it’s a lovely pickup… oh dear god what am I doing! 😅
  24. Merton
    Yep - I have actually found an almost identical one but passive… trouble brewing 😂

    Finally got my mitts on a Sandberg Lionel today. This one to be precise. I have to say it was lovely. The neck was smooth and fast, felt like a cross between a P and a J to me. Wasn’t a fan of the active circuit but in passive mode I really enjoyed the tone. I have always been convinced I’d get a maple neck/maple board if I ever had the funds to buy one but the pau ferro board was gorgeous and I expect helped with the warm smooth tone. Certainly gave me some food for thought if I ever get to the point of being able to afford one…
