The Orange AD200b is an absolute monster for this. Too big and heavy for me nowadays though. Wonderful sound.

I don’t think it’s Alex’s playing, I think it just needs setting up a bit differently as a sound demo. The tech is there, but it must be hard to get that across. Maybe a tech talk then it changes to a sit down demo with plec/slap/fingerstyle. Hell even get a basic backing drum track on it.

Roland/Boss have always impressed me.

I’ve grown to respect him once I heard how deep the bass is…it really fills the low end but you need a good set of speakers / headphones to appreciate it. He’s very percussive!

That is probably very impressive, but wow £1000! Ideally I’d want a bigger / more powerful cab for that price. I know they work wonders with their custom drivers, but I’m not sure I’d get away with a powered 1x10 in a band. I do think powered cabs are becoming more ‘normal’ now due to amazing modellers and pre amp pedals.

I have some EB flats on my Stingray 4 H that have been on for 8+ years and sound/feel fantastic. No fret wear! Good thing with a Ray is that you can still get high mid grind with flats if you want.

I don't think it is necessarily better, but they have more control over their manufacturing if it is right next to them/close by, and I imagine manufacturing in Italy is not a cheap setup, so overall I'm pretty impressed.

The fact they went back to Italian manufacturing and kept their prices decent is pretty impressive!

Quilter stuff is always well engineered. Fantastic USA price as well. Wonder what the UK price is?!

...and this is why I love Genz Benz still! Thanks for sharing this, and clearing it up. I have had no issues with mine.

I still have my USA Sterling 5 HS from, wow, it's coming up to maybe 11/12 years old?! The build quality is absolute perfection. It needs new strings soon again. Big shame they don't currently make them. I hope they get them back as Sterling Specials soon.

The two pickup Stingray/Sterling has the original back H in the same position....

Stunning! Enjoy!

Well done to your bank!

Depends, I actually really like the colour the Aguilar DB cabs add to a sound, more so the DB12/DB212.
