I agree with the poster above. Wait until it’s sorted out before posting about it here. That way you can give people the whole story in one chunk.

Presumably (and this is a guess) it's an updated / relabelled version of what was on the 'old' WB-100. They offer more tonal variation - in the old world, the 'Pop' and 'Funk' settings were a little cleaner, whereas 'Rock' was full-fat saturation. I used Rock and Pop - they were quite handy to switch between for quick tonal changes. Funk was a little clean for me.

600 & 240.

More pics, hot off the press from Leszek... mid knob info and logo reveal! 😍😍😍

Weeeell.. it kind-of is, I guess. They started off in the early 90s building audio solutions (and flight cases) for the - very Polish - Disco Polo scene, which was a street thing and needed all-in-one stuff that was easily portable.

Nope!

They do, but... not the answer!

Quiz time: What is the origin of the HandBox name? First to guess correctly wins nothing but glory.

This was actually one of the first bits of feedback I gave him back in the day. I think it's a good move.

Leszek posted an update on Facebook yesterday.. "We would like to inform everyone who is waiting for the tube heads for the WB-100 bass that work on the latest, modernized series is just coming to an end. Although it has taken a long time, however we want and hope that the fruit of our efforts will be an amplifier close to perfection". LOVE those cases...

They just seem to be doing it right, don't they?

Looks like it may be one of the black over ‘burst ‘55 CS relics. Wouldn’t buy it without more info, tho!

I'm assuming this is along the lines of TC's nonsense power ratings?

After buying - and returning - quite a few recently, I settled on this GEWA premium bag, which was only 40 quid: https://www.thomann.de/gb/gewa_bass_guitar_gigbag_premium_20.htm Very well made, lots of padding, loads of room for cables and that, and not too bulky. Recommended.

Nice one, Martin. Looking forward to seeing & hearing this 🙂

My goodness - Neil Murray is posh, isn't he?

A Maruszczyk Jake with a fat bridge humbucker (lots to choose from, and associated electronics) would get you in that territory, I reckon.

*GRUMPY OLD BLOKE ALERT* Here's an episode of Saturday morning TV staple Tiswas, from 1981. Guests include Sting and Genesis. Amongst the chaos, Sting chats about The Troubles in Northern Ireland, whether fans will accept his political content, and how his acting career fits in with The Police. Genesis - with toddlers on their laps - chat about the studio they built, how self-producing has changed their sound, the introduction of Vari*lites into their stage show, and the impact of Phil's solo career on how Genesis write. The presenter even mentions that Phil has been working with John Martyn. This stuff was fed to almost all of the kids back then. Nowadays they have to find it, which (IMO) is a real shame.

To be fair to the OP, if you just want to capture what you've been up to without too much fuss, just go down the Zoom etc. route.

Me too... Me too...

Headstock footage is a novelty for about 10 seconds, then it gets tedious. If you’re on a budget, you’re best off borrowing a couple of GoPros (you’ll need to source audio elsewhere) or the aforementioned Zooms and placing them around the stage. That’s a much more effective way of capturing the event.

Run, don’t walk, to Dave Wilson in Hexham. There is no-one better. PM me for his details.

I kind-of have a theory that once consumer Class D first came out and was touted as the greatest thing ever, and the manufacturers dropped AB like a stone, it was always going to be difficult / impossible for their marketing departments to admit further down the line that ‘With hindsight, Class AB does deliver an experience a bit more pleasing to some after all…’. Thankfully, despite what the marketing departments say, class AB ≠ heavy, so it’s no skin off my nose.

Quite. And of course, this works both ways.

Just had a look at the website. I'm sure that Marco fella is a pleasant enough chap in real life, but... he's coming across as a bit creepy. I like how the the blurb for each of the new cabinets ends with: MODERN CLASSIC WINNING AESTHETIC Considered by all as the most beautiful cabinet on the market! All? They certainly didn't ask me. Also, I do wonder how wise it is to have almost-the-same-but-not-quite variations of each cab? History tells us people don't like choices like that.
