I'm looking to change the preamp, and possibly the pickups in my USA Deluxe Jazz as I find the standard setup is very limited, it may as well be passive with the tone control stuck on full. It's the late 90s - mid 2000 model. Has any one swapped over to another preamp and did it make a difference? I'll probably go Dimarzio Model J for the pickups. Thanks in advance.

Is the 734a preamp available to buy on its own... or has any one got one they don't want?

I had an original B100r. I still regret selling it. Brilliant bit of kit.

I'd be very interested in you thoughts on the Fusion S once you've given it a work out.

Very sad news. R.I.P. MB1.

That sounds great!

I was tempted by that myself.

I wasn't sure which section to post this new Orange video in... so the amp section gets it. This sounds awesome cranked up.

The latest Ashdown ABM 600 is a significant move forward when compared to the previous models. I'd definitely try a MK IV first before making a decision.

New band to me... Sounds Like Winter, from Oz. I'm on my way through the latest album, it's cool. https://sounds-like-winter.bandcamp.com/album/fight-the-stairs

We do a cover of For Her Light as a warm up at rehearsal... I can't take them seriously though. Proper comedy goth voice, they make me laugh whenever I hear them.

We've just bought tickets for his upcoming tour. We caught him at Kubix festival a couple of years ago, he was excellent.

Cool, I very nearly pulled the trigger on one last month. I look forward to your review.

An interesting blog for new goth/post punk releases... https://gothpostpunkrevival.blogspot.com/2021/07/gothpost-punk-revival-best-new-july.html?m=1

I don't get it, what is special about 34" bass?

This got plenty of air time when I was at Sixth Form... Go

Diavol Strâin - Abulia

Oh no. R.I.P.

That's fantastic. I'm tempted, I bet it sounds great.

Great band, I really like the early stuff. I've seen them live a couple of times and thought they were very good.

I had one, I didn't sound like a Trace Elliot and wasn't as loud as the numbers suggest but was perfect to use with a quality pre amp and was well built.
