Merton

Accidentally bought this over the weekend, it arrived today. Very impressive little thing.

Accidentally bought this on eBay over the weekend. Very impressed with it, though the 18-fret fingerboard may take some getting used to! Pickups very punchy, nice variation with the tone, not as heavy as some reviews had suggested. Happy days!

Having now watched the full video, I have to say they sound very impressive as PA speakers. Didn’t expect that.

No that is fixed now. Wrong choice of glue and tolex in the early days

We need pics 😀

Love the idea, less keen on the outlay! But you know it’ll be a quality product of course…

In my day job if someone came to me and told me a product had failed several years beyond its warranty, I doubt I’d consider the need to ask for it back*. As @Dan Dare has said, components wear out and fail and there’s no way of knowing how it’s been used over the years. *That said, there was one occasion when a customer couldn’t understand why I didn’t need the gauge back despite their photos of it crushed under a forklift 🤣

It’s cool seeing the J Type and RetroB next to each other - both nice modern twists on the classic J but with their own personalities.

Handbox WB100 and Two10 for me!

Looks ace! What’s Sassafras like in terms of other tone woods? (Is it like alder, ash, limbs, mahogany etc…?)

I think for me it’s about balance and use. Spotify is useful for creating a playlist of songs to learn by artists I wouldn’t normally listen to. 25+ years ago I had to buy countless CDs to do the same. All the artists I listen to I will always buy physical media and t shirts, gig tickets etc, and I will use Spotify in the car.

Playing at the Honky Tonk Collective in Poole with Katy Hurt - so we’ve learned some covers to splash through the set alongside her originals. Some fun basslines in there (Life Is A Highway by Rascal Flats for example). I believe we’ll be done by 10pm so I might just about make it to the party Mrs Mert will be at by about 00.30am 1/1/25 😆

I think 90% of us on here can say joining was our downfall 😆 Id been very happy either way a Fender Jazz and late-90s Trace Elliot rig til I came here, and since then things seem to come and go with alarming regularity. Back OT, I am hoping that in 2025 I’ll only have 2 5ers in my collection, a fretless and a sexy new ACG. Worst case I’ll have two ACG 5s but the rest will all be 4s

I know that Dave Perry (formerly of this parish) has the mother two headless Harlots but that doesn’t help find this one!

Pop a q on the ACG fan page on Facebook if you’re on there. Or if not I can for you

Jo’s just popped over and bought a Zoot Funkmeister from me. A very easy deal, top notch BCer!

You just replied to my enquiry within about 5 seconds 😆 Can’t argue with that!

It is my super power 🤓

I think there are two in the classifieds here. Definitely get one of them!

I have both the BF 2x12 and 2x10 If you’re a loud band, the 2x10 probably wont be ok for a gig without PA support. Well, you’ll be heard but not necessarily at the level you’d want to get. The 2x12 isn’t THAT much bigger and as it is so light, plus it has wheels, it’s easy to move

There is so much on here about why mixing cabs of different driver sizes isn’t really a good idea. But some people still do it and swear by it - it’s a crap shoot though and you won’t know if it works til you try it. Personally, I haven’t mixed cabs of different driver sizes since about 2007 and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone
