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.

All good points, but worth pointing out there'd be no dates on the pickups pre-'64.

Hmm... my '63 is L11xxx. I'm raising an eyebrow at this one.

One of the reasons Amazon can afford to have such good customer service is probably because they pay so little tax. It’s a heck of an advantage to have over the little brick-and-mortar shop on the high street who has to wrestle with a tiny margin. In the meantime, Amazon continues to hoover up the market share (including me, it has to be said).

I was under their impression they built their own bodies..? Maybe not.

Two months for mine, but that was ordered in 2017. Dunno what the lead time is now. Totally worth the wait, tho.

Plank of wood with an ash tray nailed to it that makes people happy, and is almost guaranteed to appreciate in value. I can totally understand the appeal.

Here's one. I had a '72, with the humbucker. Unusually, it was a featherweight and played beautifully, but I couldn't get a single usable tone out of it.
