Total Watts

  1. Price dropped to £550 😊
  2. The Dutch Tax authority is after them according to this. They'll be the first to get paid if there's any value left in the business. It'll be the staff next in line and suppliers and creditors will be at the bottom of the list. It's interesting they say that C19 caused them issues - I thought most hobby businesses did very well whilst everyone was stuck at home. You couldn't buy any home recording kit anywhere as it was all sold out. I guess the lack of gigs would have cost them some strings and utility sales though. And then they say a fire in 2023 was a problem - surely they were insured for that?
  3. Thank you!!!! Unfortunately I'm a long way from Sheffield 😕
  4. Suppliers can be a mercenary bunch. If it's a choice between A - kissing all your money goodbye or B - kissing all your money goodbye and maybe make a bit of profit back by continuing to supply some will take the second option. Especially with a company capable of doing some turnover with them.
  5. I have a feeling it will pop up again under another name in the same group and leaving all the supplier debt with GAK
  6. You have to cease trading i believe even if its just temporary until the process is underway
  7. A friend in the biz just told me that GAK in Brighton has just gone pop...... Sad times
  8. Snagged a gig bag from Lee All amazing thanks, arrived real quick Recommended!
  9. Thank you. Susie was a borrowed singer that night and she's awesome. It was the first time we had played the song as well. Just learned at home and hoped for the best at the gig. Worked ok, I'm really quite proud of it
  10. It's hard to describe. If I played harder with a pick they sort of got less dynamic and didnt open out . It was through headphones so the difference was quite pronounced. The Barts through the same phones and played the same way just got bigger and gnarlier. They were less polite I suppose. The A4 Plus can be found used for about £400 and is a bargain. The Ultras are still quite pricey used I think.
  11. I tried out the Cort A4 Ultra with the Fishman pickups a couple of years ago. Absolutely loved the bass itself - the neck was perfect for me (kind of jazzy width but with a flat d profile that felt sublime and instantly comfortable) the bass felt light on a strap and the body shape is really comfortable. Just didn't quite gel with the pickups/preamp though. I thought I would but they seemed to have a bit of a compressed dynamic to them. The sales guy suggested I try the next model down with Bartolinis in it (A4 Plus FMMH) and I ended up buying that one instead. It was an amazing bass and I would have another one like a shot. The sound was really alive and just worked for me - even though people slate the Barts I really liked them in that bass. They seemed to have a more open sound than the Fishmans. Here it is below in action...you'll see what I mean as the bass is quite high in the mix even though it's just camera phone footage in a pub
  12. Now £550 Bought from Bass Direct on NYE so only 3 months old. I went to get a cabinet and came back with this puppy too (it followed me home...) Very light home use and 2 trips to the studio so it's in immaculate condition. Comes with the nice GR carry bag and the original packaging. 800 watts into 4 ohms Built in tuner Switchable high and low minds EQ defeatable Aux in and headphones out with separate volume Star Wars lighting (which you can switch off) Silent studio mode to switch the fan off You can collect from me (Herts/Essex border) or I can probably deliver personally in bits of the South East from Norfolk to Bucks to London to the south of Kent. Happy to post at your risk and cost. Probably not interested in trades but you never know, it's always worth an ask... Thanks for looking 🙂
