Perfectly fair comment. I am overly nostalgic for the days when I merely aspired to be a nobody. Now I am one, it's all downhill. Where did I put my therapist's number ... ...
I also thought Mr Holroyd to be a god of bass. (He also played an Alembic as I recall - rare to see those back in the day). I couldn't afford the Gibson - never mind the Alembic - so I got Jack Golder of Shergold to make me this one. I did have the Holroyd Hair though!
Yes, unfortunate but true on both counts. I think they were around £3000-ish when new and are now only out there in limited numbers. Good luck with the search.
Some excellent basses being mentioned. I wonder how many are still around, 'un-played', under a bed or in an attic (gasp!)
oh how we suffer for/from our art. Next stop is a garret in Paris. 🫤
Sounds like some kind of thermal sensor has decided the amp is now at a temperature requiring fan-cooling to kick-in. It will stay 'on fan', until switched off and given time to cool again.
