What a strange comment. An xxxxxxx club thread is nothing more than a general discussion thread on whatever xxxxxxxx is, good or bad.

You're very welcome! Just in case it's not clear to everyone, it's probably worth reiterating that I'm not on commission or anything. i'm just a massive HB fanboi, and Leszek sometimes sends me amps to play with for a while. This is what I have at the moment... the top two are bought and paid for, the bottom one is on loan (unless I can convince Mrs. WoT to let me buy it).

Good spot. Based on previous chats I've had with him, I don't think Leszek's much of a class D fan.

That would lower the input gain, which the OP wanted to avoid.

I just got my PRO15's for 40 quid via the Musicians' Hearing Scheme... https://www.musicianshearingservices.co.uk/musicians-hearing-scheme/

...don't make it bad. Welcome!

I've just asked Leszek - they're £560. Also, I'm hearing rumours of a WB-180...!

Yum yum yum!

Yum.

Not sure what you're suggesting, but - after many years of using the WA - I found the mids 'gave' a little sooner than I'd like. IMO, of course.

I had no volume issues with the WA - if you have sensitive enough cabs, it'll handle whatever you throw at it. I did yearn for more mid definition at higher volumes, hence why I switched to the Handbox R-400 (which I still see as a Walkabout Plus). Both are exceptional heads.

Yum.

Byron Berline is a legendary fiddle & mandolin player, who has played with some of the biggest names in music over the decades. He owns an instrument shop in Oklahoma, which burned to the ground a couple of days ago. Hundreds of instruments were destroyed,. But what of the 1923 Lloyd Loar F-5 mandolin in the safe..?

Why is he dressed as a nun?

I might be reading this wrong, but it seems to be about a small festival, which raises money for charity, using photos - which it may or may not own - to promote this years' event. It doesn't sound like the kind of thing to lose sleep over. No-one's going to be going on a holiday to the Maldives at your expense.

Ah, the Accuswitch. How on earth did Accugroove stay in business after that?

From the brief time I used it, I think I can notice a difference. The upgraded transformer feels a bit thicker, if that's even possible. Mind, it could be my imagination, so take it with a pinch of salt.

This is a different one...

Yours has an upgraded transformer too, apparently.

Loud. Yes it could, if you don't mind it getting a but hairy when you dig in. I think I posted a clip earlier in this thread from which illustrates it. I imagine it would sound mint through a decent 6x10.

It's cosmetic changes, from what I can see. Despite the the previously noted plastic nuts on the jack (I'd prefer metal, too), it feels as solid as the last one. I don't think anything's been tinkered with internally.

The postman has just dropped off a facelifted WB-100 for me to have a play about with. Plenty'o'gigs coming up.. big smile.

Of course. The bass is being mooted as a '63, so I was just pointing out to the OP why there might not be a date on the pickups.
