Telebass

Certainly doesn't appear so... Can't find a review anywhere.

I love TI Jazz Flats. The only slight downside for me was having the truss rod barely engaged, which seemed to emphasize the G string dead spot, even on a graphite reinforced neck. Otherwise I use Chromes ECB-81s, not too much stiffer, and sound great. Cobalt Flats also fab if you need the twang to still be present! If you don't kill strings quickly with sweat, there's no need these days to have to deal with finger-wrecking rounds!

The problem is not with weight or straps, it's my right shoulder, and I'm right-handed. Just the position and movement of the 'modified' arm causes a great deal of pain. It's 95% ok when sitting down. It may, repeat may, settle in time. I did not take the offered gig, I'm not about to subject myself to that level of torture. I am still hopeful of getting the jazz trio off the ground, and that's a seated gig by design. Just got to find that mythical pianist! Edited to add: I do have the Kinsman stool, but it doesn't work for me, head-wise, in a rock band, where I want to be bopping about. Basically, bopping ist verboten! So I'd rather sit and be mellow. 😁

Anything, almost, by the Beatles. A very great deal of Billy Joel Time After Time - Cyndi Lauper I Never Loved You Anyway - Corrs Loads of Carpenters stuff... And so much more! I could go on, and on!

Brilliant news! As to the first guy - who needs a drummer?

Did an audition Thursday evening. Standard covers fare, nothing difficult. I learned two things: One: Never again going to be able to play in a band standing up. Shoulder won't handle it any more. So didn't take the offred gig. Two: this tiny rig happily kept up with a guitarist and moderate drummer! It left them open-mouthed, in fact. Very pleased, and still in pain, in equal measure!

Change them more than once a year, maybe two years, I haven't looked after them well enough...

Ahem, no, no one else saw that... Can't unsee it now, though!

Ignore me, I'm waffling... EL84s are small B9A base tubes as opposed to 6L6 being much physically larger octal base tubes. Bigger is louder in this instance...

Have just joined the TE family at the teeny-weeny end. Very inpressed so far!

Not forgetting @KiOgon and @obbm for looms and cables - every wirey bit bar the mains lead and pickups is theirs!

Hard to take in just how tiny a rig this is! And it sounds so nice, and will get nicer yet as it breaks in a bit. Astounding!

Just waiting for the delivery slot time for my One 10! Kid at Christmas...

Well, he's the only audiologist/ENT consultant I've heard of who's saying that. It's the exact reverse of everything I've ever been taught about it (as a punter, that is).

Sounds like new band time to me. Also extremely suspicious that it was the guitarist's father that said this. BIG alarm signal to me, that... Depending on rig, bass is almost always louder at the back. Ye cannae change the laws of physics, Captain...

Indeed, KT88s are big in high-end valve hifi, and I doubt 6550s would cut it in that scenario.

They are not equivalent. You might well be able to plug them straight in and bias them up to work well, but they are not the same tube at all.

New Cab Cover Day! So now I have a new head (Elf) and a Roqsolid dust cover for a Barefaced One10, but no One10 yet. Frustrating...😕

Yup, datsa ma noo rig...

Yup, had some before, really good. A quick big up for Obbm's cables, too. The best.

Update: 95% back to normal, then...due to the deltoid being where all my arm power comes from now, and it all flowing over the top of the acromion (outer end of shoulder blade), 2cm slice of the bloody thing has snapped off. Hmmm... So, I have my Trace Elf, waiting on delivery of the BF One10, and I'm STILL in a farking sling. It's been a bloomin' long year so far, I can tell 'ee...☹️ Edit: have spent some time and money buying new bits from @Kiogon and @Obbm of this parish. It eases the pain a bit...

Now back to just one, my trusty bitsa Precision, which started life as a 2003 MIM. Only bits left original are the body, bridge and knobs. About to get a Kiogon transplant. That's all, folks!

Hi Ruben, and welcome! A friend of mine from here in Devon now lives and plays (a lot!) in Austin, a certain multi-istrumentalist called Katie Marie, aka Funkeegirl. She loves the place, and has done really well there.

Colin bought an IEM transmitter. Easy, all-good transaction!

That's a *fat* cable... Edit: I'm assuming you wanted pictures of the cable, not the burned out dryer???
