  1. I agree. Probably not much more extreme than many Gibsons.
  2. I suspect that issues with the nut might not be as bass as they look. Very tasty.
  3. Ply is more resonant IME.
  4. It is, set through neck and better pickups.
  5. Two years ago everyone was saying Gibson are going down the river. I think this is a deliberate strategy to regain visibility for their instruments. Once Gibson & Fender were the 'top brands', but Fender have held the top spot alone for a couple of decades.
  6. I wanted a 335 or similar, even looked but ended up trying a Yamaha Artcore AS53... TBH my guitar exploits don't justify spending a lot and I already had a Tokai SG.
  7. I tried one of these and was astounded by how nice it was. I really expected not to like it...
  8. The top end Epiphones look and sound great. For Gibson they seem to be the equivalent of Fender's made-outside-America instruments, rather than Squiers. This is true of their basses as well.
  9. Yep, I was at about 8 o'clock against a 50W Marshall with two 1x12 cabs. The 'loud test' was just that and I couldn't face trying any louder!
  10. I used to live in Branston which is pretty close to Uttoxeter/Doveridge.
  11. Are people staying over on the 3 or the 4 Sept? I'd prefer to do the 3rd but it may mean a bit of work juggling and/or late arrival. 4th seems to be booked up at many places.
  12. ? The Uttoxeter one is within walking distance of Doveridge. Stafford is miles away!
  13. It's used for the FX loop output (and the DI and to drive the main amp, I expect). The Clean setting is clear as a bell, so I can see no reason for fitting two 12AT7s. I should have mentioned it is incredibly loud, and I didn't even get the master volume up to 12 o'clock (gain about 3 o'clock).
  14. I can only report what Orange claim, I haven't heard this version. If you read the article linked in the OP it will become clear(er).
  15. To be really precise, the length of a day is gradually getting longer, so years are 'getting longer', if you count days (although barely changing in terms of seconds).
  16. Now I have the Bass Terror I only need chorus, tuner and perhaps HPF and compressor.
  17. Mk. II is 1 off 12AAX7 and i1 off 12AT7. In Mk. II you also need to remove metal covers from each valve. Orange say preamp valves last longer than output val;ves but no other informnation!
  18. It's being marketed as a 'studio amp'.
  19. Made all the more sinister by the human entrails hanging from Paul's mouth...
  20. Is there a 'preferred' hotel or pub in Uttoxeter for anyone doing an overnight?
  21. Well was able to unwind the amp/cab combination tonight. Two rehearsals with two bands in a week, and loads of positive comments on the sound.
  22. It's a Glenn Hughes signature model.
  23. To get my sex on fire, all I have to do is make my burritos with ghost chilli sauce.
  24. I am pretty sure a mashup of Mr Wendel and Steppenwolf (song not band) would work. He walks alone in the gaslamp shadows Dressed somberly as a man. Mr Wendel.
