I did! Went to a Four10 which is exceptional but a fair bit bigger and heavier. Mostly though I tend to use my pair of One10s, the Four10 is a bit of my ridiculously OTT rig gathering exploits for those once a year gigs which need that amount of air moved. Sounds bloody glorious with a CTM100

I’ve gigged a Little Bastard (basically the CTM30 without a gain control) in a reasonable loud function band in pubs and weddings using one or two BF Super Compacts and it’s been glorious. You will need to have PA support as well for the whole room/balance but the onstage volume and tone is wonderful.

Me then. Waaaaay more (exclusive/custom/bespoke) gear than talent

Very very nice

Ooooh

Internal Sales Manager at a company that makes various instrumentation for measuring pressure/temperature/level/force/flow across pretty much any industry. 😴

Nice to see a Micro Thumpinator being used by a seasoned pro - good bit of exposure for sfx

Nice one, thanks

Yep, aware that Maruszczyk won’t be winding these themselves but interested in people’s opinions of them As for the standard/shorter scale sets, I’ve tended to find that the B string in particular becomes a bit flabby when using a longer scale set. Medium scale strings tend to be wound to compensate for the shorter scale by adding tension and/or mass to the core and just work “better” in my opinion

Anyone got any experience of their stainless steel rounds? How do they compare with the big boys of the strong world? Struggling to find any medium scale stainless rounds in a 5 string set, these look like a good price and I’ll prob take the plunge one way or the other anyway but always good to hear experiences

@skelf’s Finn. Beautiful curves, well balanced, feels great on the strap and sitting down

I think it’s great price for the amp. I have an “original” LB which I adore but the Little Stubby has something extra with the feedback control which makes it really quite handy indeed. If I didn’t have an LB and CTM100 is probably have bought one by now.

Very sad news, his basses are so well loved and respected the world over.

Oooh, will get that recorded

Ooooh

Oh my 😍

Didn’t I see a comment on Facebook firing you because of the Strandberg? 🤣

Here’s the new RM800 EVO II, it looks badass: https://ashdownmusic.com/collections/heads/products/rm-800-evo-ii-head

Oh yes. Stacking horizontally definitely means you need two of the cabs!

PS - if you lay the SC horizontally rather than vertically the CTM100 fits fine

Not at all. It’s a bloody wonderful head and I gigged one with a single SC very successfully. Sounded superb, but not as superb as a CTM100 with Barefaced 4x10 Since the OP mentioned class D heads I’d be inclined to check out the Ashdown RM800 EVO II which has just been released (the 500 is available to try in shops, the 800 is just a bit more of the same loveliness IMO).

See here

Can’t believe I’ve not shown this beauty on here before. It’s lush.

Feline every day of the week for me. I know Liam via his dad (one Mr Phil Mulford of this parish) and Jonathan is a man of considerable knowledge and talent too. They did a cracking job on one of my ACGs last year and will be my go-to local guys now.
