Well GSS say it's 600w... I'd love to bring it round and let you have a look.

Hmm... I'm getting 'Sandberg on a Peavey body' vibes.

WHOOOAAA -AHHH-WOAHHWOAH

I don't have an Ella but my two girls (7 and 4) are similarly obsessed. More with putting on their own productions of it in the front room though with extravagant freefrom dance moves. I won't go out of my way to watch it but next time they put it on I'll keep an ear out for the bass!

I'd stick with the white one! Like John Deacon's.

I like headless when the bass is also 'bodyless' - like Steinbergers. When attached to a body as in the examples above, a headless neck just looks incomplete IMHO. Not horrible or wrong, just not quite all there.

All good so far! It's my first experience with a dedicated power amp, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I'm happy with the sounds I'm getting so far. I've only used it a low volumes, but even then it seems to get warm quickly. No fan, you see. I've read similar comments over on Talkbass but it doesn't seem to have let anyone down through overheating at gig volumes so I'm not too concerned.

R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A. by John Mellencamp has an ocarina solo! But it does seem to be in direct tribute to Wild Thing.

The Lemon Twigs, on record, are just the two brothers. They write and play it all themselves, which does support the 'weird and precocious' theory somewhat! But I do love the music. I get a lot of 10cc vibes as well, particularly on the early material.

Gorgeous old lump 😁

That'll do I'm already familiar with the band, but it their 'Later...' appearance was my first expererience of them, I might have been a bit put off. They've certainly upped the theatricality somewhat. The older stuff was more like a prog Beach Boys.

I like The Lemon Twigs. I wouldn't consider them Indie at all!

I think he still is... I haven't heard anything to suggest otherwise! I was lucky enough to see KC at the Hackney Empire a few years back - the sheer force of three drummers along the front of the stage was quite something.

Please stop showing me this picture. It's making my life very difficult. 😂

Perhaps 'pointless' was a bit harsh. It's certainly good to hear the basses. I just wish we could hear a bit more, maybe from other players in some different style. The old 'tone is in the fingers' wheeze is certainly true of Marcus!

I see! Post some pics on here, we'd love to see them! and as I'm sure you are aware... I've considered buying an Embassy for myself. I already have the Vintage Pro Thunderbird, and it is excellent. It's a bit petty but I'm not sure about the redesigned Embassy headstock, it looks a bit ordinary in comparision with the original.

Looks like a big blue circle with a 'G' in the middle...

I wouldn't say they were particularly 'bad' reviews, just a bit pointless. All they really show is that the bass works, and can be slapped.

Lovely.
