If you vote for me in the Tort Police election you can expect the freedom to express the likes of this, unlike under the dictatorial discreet regime [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0469_zpsdfd3dd1e.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/DSCF0469_zpsdfd3dd1e.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1403469776' post='2483036'] looks great - and so cheap too looking at the US prices [/quote] £445 delivered from Barrie's guys. Indeed a bargain. As can be seen in the following background (far left) the backlighting is just another great feature.

[quote name='JamesBass' timestamp='1403471440' post='2483058'] Time for the public to rise up against the oppressive tort police! Vivá la revólution! [/quote] Correct (even if you are a clever dickie with your acutes or graves or whatever they are ).

Wonder if Tort Police is an elected position. The current incumbent MOST go! Tort is perfectly allowable with LPB, Fiesta Red, Sea Foam Green, Shell Pink, Burgundy Mist amongst others. Brown Tort obviously being desirable in most cases. I shall be hitting the election trail soon!

Excellent job!

Another little update. A two gig weekend, not recommended at my age, or in this heat. Last night in particular, the place was hotter than a solar flare The more I use this amp, the more I find out about it. Using the contour full on, all the rest "flat" brings out a beautiful John Paul Jones kinda noise on the FSR, my current fave bass of all times . Backing the contour down to noon brings it back into the realms of growl I like for Metallica, Saxon etc. This really is an incredible little amp for the money. If you us the graphic eq to boost the mids, the volume is just crazy! Try one if you can, very impressive.

Drummist has been requested many times not to book more than one gig per weekend, max 3 gigs per month. So, 6 gigs in June and this weekend Fri night and Sat night. God I'm wrecked. Both pretty good, really loving the Carvin BX 700 and the Mex FSR P/J passive. One guy on Fri night said it was almost as though the bass was an extension of my body. Yes, it has grown into me as I'm now dead, or it bloody well feels it The heat didn't help. Very distracting with young things who appear to be unable to afford full clothing

[quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1402835214' post='2477099'] Glad it was someone on 'ere! If it's a good 'un but you decide you don't want it (in a few months after all my house-move b0ll0cks is sorted out, preferably!) you could make an easy tenner on it by flogging it to me - been regretting selling the 2 SR800s I had for some time now... J. [/quote] A tenner Jon, you have a reputation to uphold. A fiver surely

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1402746073' post='2476477'] Kudos to those that have bookings tonight and honour it even if they know they will probably play to a half empty pub or a full one watching the England match rather than the band. I guess the smart move is to just start early and get it all wrapped up by 11pm? We potentially had a wedding to do but thankfully it got called off so I'll be in front of TV with feet up and beer in hand... [/quote] We started 7pm finished 9pm, home 10.30. As if it wasn't enough the match being on, it was a very warm night, so whilst there were a lot of folk there waiting for the game, most of them were sat outside. Very grateful to the 20 or so VERY noisy folk that stayed inside.

[quote name='fingerz' timestamp='1402752976' post='2476550'] If it can't be made to play in tune, surely it's not fit for purpose?? [/quote] You've not heard me play then

Thanks chaps, think I'll pass.
