As live as recording it the day before, I guess.

"...everything you hear tonight is completely live.." No it isn't.

It might not be, but only because not enough people ask for them like this.

Sure is a Limelight...

Natural disaster..?

I believe that's one of Finnie Vodera's best creations.

FWIW, lovely as the oval ultralites are, they’d look a bit odd on a Limelight (IMO). Resolites are equally lovely, and look authentic (but aren’t oval, obv.)

Last show ‘ever’ at the O2 tonight. Mr. Gabriel is there, in an audience capacity at least….

I believe the necks are Allparts, and the bodies and pickups are their own.

The may well be lovely basses (haven't played on yet) but do they still use captive gerbils to nibble at the edge of the bodies? That always put me off a bit.

They're great. Do a search on BC and you'll find loads of info.

It was merged with a similar thread and the other thread's title won.

It all goes a bit Spirit of Radio around the 2m mark, doesn't it? ...or rather Spirit of Radio went a bit Sadistic Mika Band.

I think the OP is asking about valve heads, not hybrids.

It's well played, but... jeez. Those vocals.

Speaking from experience, the producers will constantly be on the lookout for even the slightest thread of an angle, a story to tell… even if it only becomes a ‘thing’ in the edit suite.

Aye, the Handbox WB-100 is just the job. It's a thing of (very loud) beauty.

St . Paddy's gig at one of Newcastle's most beautiful bars. Here's some singalong bits. Absolutely heaving, and a great afternoon. On the down side, it'll be a miracle if we don't all get covid.

I had a similar quandary recently, but the commute would have been Newcastle > Liverpool. I really had to think long and hard and eventually decided not to... in my heart I knew it wasn't practical, and I didn't want to be in a position where I'd have to leave them in the lurch. It went against all my instincts, but it was the fairest decision for them. (Note: if there had been a big tour or something at the end of it, the outcome might have been different, but it was all a bit tentative.) YMMV etc.

Hello Nick! No problem - ask away 🙂 Short answer to question #1 - I haven't used one for four years, and basically my mind was in R-400 mode. I'd completely forgotten about running the output wide-open until now. Here's a clip of the gig. You can't see the room, but it's a fairly large concert room in a club, with about 200 people in it. I had PA support. Volume-wise, certainly no challenge for the WB-100. It probably didn't even notice.

TBH this raises more questions than it answers 😄

Got to use this last night thanks to @warwickhunt. It's been a few years since I used to gig one regularly, and I've remembered how special these things are. The authority in the lows and detail in the mids and highs is absolutely beautiful.

A reunion gig with my lovely pals in the Peter Donegan Band last night. One or two of you might have seen him on The Voice a few years back singing with Tom Jones. We haven't been in the same room for four years, but it was (mostly) like riding a bike. Full house, loads of fun. I even used a HandBox WB-100 that I managed to borrow for the night from Warwickhunt, too. Win after win after win.
