  1. Possibly. I may be wrong but I believe you need to pay a lot more attention to cooling when running the 800w module at 2/2.67 ohms. Maybe they just took a conscious decision not to bother? Ashdown didn't either with their 800w amps.
  2. Does it involve them not being able to hear the rest of the band? If so I know a few guitarists that wouldn't notice...
  3. Other than 800 watts and block in the title, I don't see many similarities myself!

  5. You don't get many of those to the pound! Used to have serious GAS for 5 string one of these. GLWTS!
  6. Take 2 of your basses as examples. Toss a coin. Heads you sell bass a, tails it's bass b. If you're disappointed by the result of your coin toss your original idea has a pretty significant flaw! If not then I don't see anything wrong with having somebody else make your decision for you.
  7. I learned to play initially with a pick and regretted it later. Couldn't play with my fingers at all. It took an extended break from playing - and not being able to find a pick around the house - to get me playing with fingers. Now I play 99% of the time with fingers (usually because I still can't find a pick around the house!)
  8. Try not to picture Deputy Dog when watching that video. Bet you can't!
  9. The slider caps on the Trace are worth half the current bid price alone. I'd take the lot if I was local... I do have hoarding tendencies though... Most of it would end up in the bin, but as parts it'd be a worthwhile purchase for somebody.
  10. Had one of these at a time. Nice bass for the money.
  11. I'm not a big fan of the Mendel myself. Never actually played a RW, but the classic 50 is head and shoulders above the Mendel for me, even given my preference for rosewood. Folks in the know prefer the RW to the classic 50s. Why oh why don't Fender do a 60s RW P?
  12. Thanks Dood... Looking unlikely at the minute unfortunately...
  13. Always nice to have more Dingwalls over here! Unfortunately miine might have to leave after consulting the mechanic this morning...
  14. $299 dollars at Prymaxe, and they might come down on that. IF they'll ship it to UK - they won't ship Tech21 stuff outside US.
  15. Looks like it was nicked from the set of Stranger Things!
  16. Pound for pound the best P I've played was my old Squier SQ! So I'd be adding SQ and JV Squiers to the list if it were me. Hands down the best P I've played was my friend's refinished '64 Fender. Beautiful. If I'd a grand to spend I'd be looking at a MIM RW P or a Limelight. If I'd a 2 grand to spend I'd be talking to Sander DeGier.
  17. Brilliant! EDIT: Watch them all... Best thing I've watched in quite some time.

  19. *flameproof pants on* Other than the BLX80, I've never played a Trace I liked. There, I said it. I've heard other people play through them and liked what I heard - really punchy - but when I played through them they felt weird...
  20. Living in Norn Iron as I do, there didn't seem to be much chance to play one before buying until Black Coffee of this parish (who lives about 6 miles from me) put his ACG Graft 5 up for sale. Totally the wrong spec for me, but gave me an idea of the level of Alan's workmanship. I wasn't disappointed. I've had 3 now, and would still have 2 if I wasn't having a self-enforced clear out!
