Not nostalgia - it was probably true!!! If you were happy with your previous TE why not go with another respected, British built, brand with excellent customer service? Loads of people have already recommended Ashdown - designed and built by the same team as your TE - great tonal packages, lightweight and generally reliable. Can't remember when I heard of one going down. If you ever have any problems they are members here, @Ashdown Engineering, and Guy and the team will work with you to resolve any issues you might have. You can't go wrong!! My next new amp will definitely be an Ashdown.

Sad to hear that the COVID has again impacted on, what is generally, a great day out. I'd love to attend, however I appreciate people's reservations. Seen you all in 2022 hopefully.

Possibly a reflection of how mental health services have failed, not only the "ordinary man/ woman", but also those who become high profile cases known to the public at large, and the consequences of mental health issues. The tale of Syd Barrett is the sad paradigm that encapsulates the great triumphs and underscoring tribulations that defined the golden age of music. https://faroutmagazine-co-uk.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/faroutmagazine.co.uk/the-life-of-pink-floyds-syd-barrett-and-sixties-dark-side/?amp=&amp_gsa=1&amp_js_v=a6&usqp=mq331AQIKAGwASCAAgM%3D#ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Ffaroutmagazine.co.uk%2Fthe-life-of-pink-floyds-syd-barrett-and-sixties-dark-side%2F

Which is why Paul moved to Blackstar. I was chatting to him at LBGS and he said he left because there was little commitment from Peavey to develop the TE brand.

I use light strings on everything - 95s on 4 strings and 110/115 on 5ers. I haven't noticed any loss of tone (nor has anybody ever commented on it) - and lighter strings were popular in the 80s and nobody ever commented on that. In general we are talking about 0.05 to 0.10 aren't we?

White Fretless 350F on ebay currently £200 - no idea if this is a good price or not https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124803181701?hash=item1d0ed96c85:g:gZQAAOSwScFg5t~J

At £55 it could be worth a punt for those near Widnes https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203514383423?hash=item2f62670c3f:g:okYAAOSwbkBg4gMY
