Looking For Cluedo - Robert Palmer

That’s a fair chunk of change for a MiM.

I used to play acoustic guitar in a band, decades ago. The best thing I bought was a dedicated acoustic guitar amp, the difference it made to my/our sound was amazing and it wasn’t expensive, a Carlsboro Sherwood IIRC. Used as normal backline, I didn’t need to worry about feedback, with it being behind me and, raised up, it was a great monitor. Something like this might be just the job, especially as it has a DI out (1/4” jack though 🤔). https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/171019315741004--laney-la30d-combo-acoustic-amp

Now that’s a novel reason for GAS

$6.5k with buyer’s premium. It never ceases to amaze me how auction houses fleece both buyer & seller and it’s treated as normal (which I supposed it is, but I still think it’s wrong).

The place we use in Perth has a vintage, Fender Bassman head through, I think, a Fender 6x10. Sounds good, no? Well, in all honesty, it’s just about OK, certainly nothing to get excited about. The space is actually the live room for adjacent studio, control room and not particularly large (but not small or cramped). Back there next Wednesday to shake out the dust and try 5 new songs for a gig, later in the month.

With any luck, these programs might encourage non bass players to listen a bit more to what we’re doing and maybe understand why.
