Looks like harking back to days with simple but effective eq, nice

That’s a beaut, see what you mean re the colour, Autumnglo for definite!

Thanks Dave, yes I’ve got the pickups adjusted so that the volumes are pretty consistent across all strings. The eq I used on the rehearsal rig was pretty much flat and the lack of depth on D & G was quite clear to me. I think different gauge strings may well be the way forward, and will be fun too. I just wish Elixirs came in short scale.

I’ve just used my Lionel at band practice and noticed the same thing, was wondering if upping the strings from 40-100 to 45-100 might be worth a try.

Spot on I’d say

Just got in from my first band practice with my new Sandberg Lionel. Sounds great on the E & A strings but D & G a bit weak. It’s still got the stock 40-100 strings on it so am thinking 45-100 might beef it up a bit, but has anyone else noticed this on theirs, and if so how did you get around it?

Apparently connecting a second cab is needed in order to get the full power, so on its own it`s approx 150 or so watts. Having a combo that competes with the Rumble 800, so 400 watts on its own would be my ideal, plus at a competing size/weight.

Makes perfect sense!

Captain Sensible of The Damned played one as well, in the early days of the band, before moving to guitar.

Have they got a picture of a more matched one in their site, if so there’s your argument, you wanted one that resembles what they’re advertising.

Good advice there

For me I`d like Ashdown to issue a combo to rival the Fender Rumble, power-wise.
