Sadly, yes it is. I would like to gig it just once, but I'm not sure I ever will.   

If I lived not so far away I would volunteer some help to get it to the show and back. Might be worth an ask.

Well, we are planning a farewell party at our local boozer and naturally I will be booking my own band as headliner 😉 so maybe, just maybe...

 

Edit: Maybe one of those man-and-van services with a tail lift Luton!

At this point may I suggest a 'go fund me' or some sort of local community action group to get it to the pub?

In other news, our emigration plans have moved up a gear. I don't have time to fix the foot switch and I'll not really need it - so it's available here for postage:  

 

 

A slightly more sensible option might be to just take one of the cabs to the gig, depending on which you prefer the sound of on its own?

 

When and where are you emigrating to, and are you taking this rig? Keeping the pedal with the head could be a nice touch for a future owner to fix.

There will be no future owner, well, not until I've popped my clogs.

 

We're emigrating to the Republic of Ireland. So not as crazy as Australia or Canada, and I have the longer wheel base VW Caddy so I can get all my amps, basses, etc. in the van and take them over myself. 

 

As to which cab I prefer, I've not had a chance to really play with it yet - I'd only just got over Christmas when we had an offer on our house so everything has been pretty crazy since then.

What a fantastic place to live with a music culture second to none, I'm jealous! Personally, I'd still keep the pedal; you'll probably make new contacts in Ireland with the skills to diagnose/fix it, and it could still prove an asset at home.
