[quote name='Deep Thought' timestamp='1506960264' post='3382329'] One of my favorite guitar players is Neil Young-love his tone. [/quote] +1000 Awesome player. Also, Ronnie Wood. Fabulous stuff always. The man knows how to entertain audiences using a guitar.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1507668761' post='3387187'] That information, as with the origin of pickups, is not available. However every Limelight I've owned has been first rate as far as sound and playability goes. [/quote] Why isn’t it available? Is it unavailable or is Limelight keeping it secret?

What are used as the donor body and neck? What’s the origin? Just interested, that’s all.

Lee’s a top buyer. Great comms and let me know when it had arrived. Another great Basschat deal.

I sold a pedal to TF. Excellent comms, prompt payment and one thing I really appreciate, a quick note to tell me when it's arrived. 100%. Enjoy.

[quote name='acidbass' timestamp='1478553382' post='3169907'] Hmm slightly concerning. I had one of these on my Christmas list for home practice with an iPad. Are you using an app e.g. Amplitube? [/quote] I’ve got the original one, <£9 Amazon Prime. Works a treat, no issues.

I use a comp in front of all my valve amps. It needs setting slightly differently to when I use it through the Mesa Walkabout for example but valve amps don’t negate the need for a comp. As far as tube sim, try it, see what it sounds like. I had an EBS multicomp years ago and found it excellent. Suck it and see.

[quote name='Delberthot' timestamp='1507424892' post='3385416'] Do you mean you were too loud onstage or too loud out front with the Two10? [/quote] Both. The TWO10 (4 ohm setting) is like anyone else’s 4x10. It moves that much air.

[quote name='Delberthot' timestamp='1507367248' post='3384953'] I absolutely love my One10 but would never consider gigging with even 2 of them in a rock band without a PA. If I found myself in a rock band again with no PA then the only cab I would consider in the Barefaced range would be the Big Twin II or a combination of two of the smaller 12" cabs. They are fantastic cabs and way louder than what you'd expect but 2x10"s against a rock drummer and guitarist I think would be pushing them too far [/quote] I've gigged my Mesa 400+ through my BF Two10 with two loud guitarists and drummer in a metal/rock covers band and they asked me to turn down. The TWO10 will do the job. I also have a SIX10 and a BT2 and can confirm that the TWO10 eats it.

15% of the total is 4-string fretless. I'm surprised by that, I thought it would be less. That means that one in seven are four string fretless basses.

Did a trade with Jay. Really cool to deal with, excellent comms, well packaged, great service all round. Another great Basschat experience. Highly recommended

[quote name='DHA' timestamp='1506884406' post='3381804'] Thanks Sean, all sold now and many thanks to those that purchased. I am putting them together over the next couple of weeks and will be posting out in the order they where ordered in. The intention is to do more screen-printed versions of other models plus some new ones over the next few months. regards Dave [/quote] Cheers, Dave. Can’t wait :-)

The elephant ear part of my D string tuner on my L2500 kept falling out. Not completely but coming away from its fixing on the shaft. I messaged G&L through BookFace asking if they had any suggestions for a quick fix. I gave them the serial number and model. In the past they’ve been excellent and informative with responses. This time i was asked for my address and a new tuning machine arrived in the post seven days later. This is a sixteen year old instrument! Outstanding customer service and back up. Very impressed indeed.

This is now sorted. I contacted John East and he sent me some springs and the earthing issue is solved! Fabulous customer service and reinforces my advice about buying products from manufacturers where you can speak to "the man"; East, Barefaced, Shuker, etc.

[quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1506253227' post='3377294'] Did you mean Ashdown or Orange? I'm inclined to agreed either way How does the Nexus Tube compare to your Mesa 400+? But the SLS is obviously a very different beast to the Nexus Tube in terms of both price and weight (as well as being Class D vs Tube). I agree that Laney are a bit of a hidden gem and worth exploring further and seem to be offering a heck of lot of bang for buck. [/quote] Oh, I meant Ashdown My MJW Taranis is more or less a clone of a Matamp GT200 or Orange AD200 but with two very different channels and loads of knobs and power scaling and valve routing options. I contacted both Matamp and Orange at the time and neither wanted to do a custom front end so I found ex-Matamp builder/designer and boutique guitar amp builder Mr MJW who knocked up a new (old tech) take on a GT200 for me. I will say that the Ashdown Big Block thing intrigues me but I don't trust the build quality. Laney Nexus Tube vs Mesa 400+? It's like comparing a 1990s Porsche 911 Turbo to a modern Audi RS6! They're both fundamentally massive valve amps but with very different characters and although the core technology is the same, the Nexus has incorporated a lot of modern touches. The 400+ can be more brutal, has a tone stack and EQ that is confusing to the uninitiated and has two very good and different preamp channels. It also has the mindfck Mesa DI system. Don't touch anything on the panel after the sound guy has done his job! The Nexus is more tweak-able and generally easier to live with. It does weigh in at 37kg, though, a lot heavier than the 400+ but I couldn't give a toss, I have a trolley and work out. They are both amazing and get selected randomly to go to the gig. These are my two main gigging amps. The SLS is probably a worthy amp and I carry a Class D in my gigbag in case "my real amp" blows up but I can't get excited about sterile characterless hardware. No point in having the Solid State vs Valve argument. For me they all have their place and I've made my choices. And my choices cover all the bases as I have a MOSFET Hybrid SS amp in the stable too that is also amazing.
