Get the flaming torches, pitchforks, tar and feathers ready... they really have improved the Jaguar GUITAR!

I would have thought that the Epiphone Embassy would get you right in the ballpark for tone, playability and cost.

Sister Seagull - BeBop Deluxe

Been there, heard that.* Wireless rather IEM problems.

The attention to note length is most impressive, as is the bass face.

You’re trying to do your best and entertain, but I could feel the enthusiasm draining from body. As we weren’t our normal compliment and line up, we couldn’t even view it as a paid rehearsal. The band leader is back there today to pick up some PA he had to leave behind, I wonder if he’ll get any feedback? If it’s, “You guys were great, really looking forward to having you back,” I’m going to spit! There was one upside, the load in was as easy as pie, parked opposite the side door, next to the stage, in, out, nay bother. However the stage was quite raised, with no stairs and all of us struggled to get on and off a couple of times .

Red - Sammy Hagar

Played a new venue for us. Sadly, we were without our keyboard and had a dep drummer (he did a fine job and was a nice chap too). It was a club and the president’s 50th birthday bash. A full house and an up for it crowd was promised - neither were in evidence. I honestly think they’d rather have played bingo all night (there were 2 sessions) and watched the England game, even though the gig was in Dundee (plenty were watching on their phones). Immediate, “You’re too loud,” without saying what was too loud, followed by 2 more (we weren’t, honest, they probably couldn’t hear themselves chat [mumble], thus too loud). There was a very small flurry of jigging around near the end and the occasional smattering of applause, but it was mostly crap and not worth the hour’s drive to get there. Home for just past 2. We’re supposedly back there in September, I hope they cancel.

Sgt Rock - XTC

My initial reaction is the power supply, but you’ve tried a different one (have you tried the Cali in isolation?). Whining doesn’t sound right at all, I’d contact the guys at Origin Effects.

^^^ This, all day long. I’m used to it now, but the last 2 rigs I have owned are very mid centric (they’re actually flatish, but coming from a scooped rigs made them sound very different) and I was super disappointed when I got the first one home, as the sound wasn’t what I wanted to hear. However, in a band mix situation, this is what works, which meant that when I bought my current rig I wanted it in the same eq ballpark. Haven’t looked back.

Touch Me I’m Dick - Citizen Dick (from the film Singles)

^^^^ The above is my view on it too.

Tonight, without our keyboard player and with a dep drummer 😬🤞

Whatever Gets You Thru The Night - John Lennon

We Can Work It Snout - Fab4

I do like a teardrop shaped case. What’s in it isn’t too shabby either.

Close to the Edge - Yes

What a way to go though. 😍

My JMJ Mustang is doing the all business for me and my current band, my 2 custom Maruszczyks and Rob Allen MB2 don’t get out really.

I’m away at the moment and there’s every chance that this will be sold by the time I can get to Dundee to snag it, so I might still be in.
