Great amp that, I should never have sold mine.

I have a pair, but sometimes just use one on it's own. I found one cab to be underpowered with just an Elf (my backup amp), even with a reasonably restrained jazz outfit. It managed, but it was on the edge of capability. My head of choice with the One10's is a GK Legacy 800. Great with one cab, amazing with two. I tested an EBS Reidmar 750 through a One10 last week, and that was great too, although I still prefer my GKs.

Our gig on Friday was a road trip from Lancaster/Morecambe up to Stockton On Tees in the North East. "Blues At The Bay" blues club. On paper, it looked like a 2 hour drive when I booked the gig, but Friday had other ideas, SNOW! Lots of back and forth on group chat and we decided to leave much earlier with a plan to go via Settle/Harrogate/A1. At the last minute I checked the route (I was the last pickup in the van) and the A66 had just re-opened, so we decided to go our original route. Stopped for a brew at a farm shop halfway and still arrived early. It meant we could have a leisurely setup before going off to eat before the gig. The gig itself was super. House PA and monitors, very intimate venue with just a 40 capacity, but it was sold out. A very appreciative and respectful audience. I understand that they often film their gigs, so I'm hoping for some good footage in the near future. 2 x Barefaced One10's, GK Legacy 800, '73 Precision. Rob

I bought Paul's EBS Reidmar 750, and it arrived very well packed, in great shape. Great to deal with, deal with confidence. Thanks, Rob

The Three10 is a thing to behold, glad you're finally getting your hands on one. Out of interest, when did you order it? I spoke to our guitarist last night, and the cab he ordered on 30th September last year is finally in testing and will be delivered next week.

This ^ I get emails purporting to be from Reverb, and they are just scams. You should only communicate on Reverb using their own messaging system. I have used their chat system though, to talk to Reverb admins, and that's usually a real person. Try that and verify what you're being told is genuine.

The guitar player in my band ordered a 2x10 guitar cab at the end of September, and he still hasn’t got it. Wait times now appear to be quite long.

The description has been amended, and now begins with "**WITHDRAWN**", although it appears you can still bid on it?

The auction ends in 8 hours time, currently 25 bids, up to £310, 19 watchers. Someone needs to walk into this place and stop this! https://auctions.wellersauctions.com/catalogue/lot/f72e04251781ce1fd69a2f03361751e1/45205abdbb84d2df36d33a64cd5790b5/unclaimed-goods-from-a-major-uk-courier-network-lot-1412/

I'm having quite a difficult week. Started feeling a bit "off" on Monday, by rehearsal on Wednesday I was "taking it easy" on the vocals. Come Thursday I lost my voice entirely and had a very sore throat, a cough, and felt weary, but I was house bass player at Lancaster Funk Club in the evening, and got through it just about. Friday I had committed to a dep gig with another Blues band, thankfully an early shift 6pm-8pm, so was home and in bed by 9.30pm. Today my band are top spot at The January Blues Festival in Colne, and there's no way I can sing a note. Thankfully we share lead vocal duties, so we've hashed out a set where I don't sing at all, but it's still going to be hard as I feel like death. My wife has also come down with it. We think it's covid, but I have no choice but for the show to go on. Wish me luck! Rob

Well, 2 weeks to the day since I returned the One10, a replacement was delivered this morning, and all is well with the world once more. Alex promised to turn it around quickly and he has, just in time for me to use the pair on gigs tonight and tomorrow. The initial mix up was unfortunate, but it's all been sorted out at no cost to me. Rob

Pump It Up is a cracking bassline.

I gig with a Boss WL20, but I have to use a NUX C-5RC (5.8GHz) at home as my amp is so close to the wifi router. The Boss has only had issues in one venue with wifi interference, and I quickly swapped to a cable. The battery life is also very good, and it has never failed me, even on long "3 set evenings". I loaned the Nux system to a fellow basschatter recently as he was doing a musical before Christmas, but he couldn't get through two sets before it ran out of juice. It hadn't been an issue for me at home, but this week, I'm finding that it's dying after maybe 90 minutes or less of playing, which is not even getting me through evening practice. I think the internal rechargeable batteries have reached end of life. I bought it secondhand about 2 years ago, and I've used it a lot. So I reckon I'm also in the market for a cheap 5.8GHz system to use at home. Rob
