    One 18? Get a pair!!

    Looks wonderful and will sound every bit as good as it looks. I only wish I was closer to you so I could lend you a TT so you could get the full experience now.

    I play fretted and fretless on a gig (the fretless does 3 numbers). I take a spare fretted bass, so I take 3. If I know space is tight, I just take one of each. I've not needed a spare on a pub gig but did need my spare at a reasonably sized gig (2,000 seater) when an old machine head broke, as I tuned up in the dressing room. The only time I've actually needed it but only lack of space stops me always having a spare available.

    I am not a member but would the MU have a view on a venue that treated musicians so recklessly?
  5. Steve Browning
    That could lead you down a path linked to his nickname!!

    Of course it's an impossible answer. There may have been players from a time before recorded music (wasn't Paganini a guitarist, too?). There is the development of light strings and the plain 3rd. All sorts of innovations that previous exponents didn't have available. I have different players for different styles. Peter Green, David Gilmour, Jeff Beck, Mick Green, Zal Cleminson to name a handful who were distinctive and phenomenal in ways each other wasn't.

    There is way more stuff than simply Barefaced. Most manufacturers do lightweight gear. Do you have a budget?

    This in Thomann. Don't forget, you still have access to the EU. Price is with VAT and free delivery. https://www.thomann.de/ie/hartke_hd500.htm

    Maybe it's worth pressing you on your preference for something new? You would do far better 2nd hand and you could get your money back if/when you want to upgrade.

    I suspect the notion is that Andy has a proven track record in this area and can give an opinion that carries more weight. Stewart, on the ClearTone site certainly has strong views on such matters.
  11. Steve Browning
    I can see your point but the singer is not interpreting the aria in the same way as one of the other culprits you mention. Certainly I am more Gilmour than Malmsteen in my preference.

    Fellow ClearTone user here. Excellent cables and good service from Stewart.

    I am no expert but I wonder if, as things are moving in the right direction, the thread is locked for now? I am sure there's no real danger but we haven't got anything more we can add to the story and it would be awful if there was any chance at all that this thread could assist the alleged fraudster. Just suggesting caution and it looks as though our actions have had the desired effect.

    It could be stuck on an island with Tom Hanks.

    I am presuming she's asking the same question on Singerchat.com? 🙂
  16. Steve Browning
    I would only make the suggestion that you think beyond the immediate need. I would expect the price differential between buying to cope now with what you may want in future to be sizeable. Certainly in respect of mixer channels.
  17. Steve Browning
    Interesting. What note is the open top string?
  18. Steve Browning
    Mr Pot, may I introduce Mr Kettle?
  19. Steve Browning
    I'm sure you're not actually implying that I don't but I am fortunate enough to have had enough compliments about my sound to suggest that I am achieving both our objectives.

    John Deacon on Queen II. That's my sound.
  21. Steve Browning
    I would just say scratch the itch and get it out of your system. I have loved the sound out of my (variously) Marshall, Sound City, Orange and Boogie all valve rigs but my current (valve pre/digital power stage) gives me the same result (to my ears). I clung on to my first Boogie amp for years and realised it just wasn't going to be used again. I didn't need to.
  22. Steve Browning
    Please know that I absolutely hate you (jealousy).
  23. Steve Browning
    I am very glad to have been a help to you and delighted you are (seemingly) as happy as I am with my Mesa gear. Good luck with the search for a trolley. As you say, not heavy but more bulky than anything. I carry one in each hand but negotiating doors can require choreography!!
  24. Steve Browning
    Glad to hear you're pleased. The TT will reduce the weight but not the tone.
  25. Steve Browning
    The Monique pre-amp, especially, is a wonderful looking piece of kit. Absolutely agree with you. Enjoy the new rig.
