I’ve found an ax1b after a while of searching… Haven't had any time with it yet… A quick scroll through the menus may suggest that I’ve mis-remembered it’s abilities

I’ll level with you… I haven’t bought from a guitar shop for a long time, so I’ve no horse in the race. i actually don’t go to guitar shops at all, unless its a totally last minute “need a patch cable” moment. I’m more than aware of Fender GBI (the joke being they should’ve been called Fender UK) and Gibson Europe taking over from rosetti in the UK…I was dealing with Arbiter/Rosetti when the changes happened and have mates who worked for both. but yeah, I’ve no clue what I’m on about and hadn’t considered any of your take on it when i wrote that little post. i’ll go and sort my head out.

I hope the UK distributors now see that the little shops should have fender and Gibson as well as their other stuff… instead of chasing “mega bucks” chains. anyhow - Thomann…think that juggernaut will carry on a bit longer.

I’m glad you’ve bought it, genuinely messaged Lee after some wine… ”Trav, you know you don’t use 5’s” 😂😂😂

Another rehearsal with “Just Bodies” seems like we’ve settled the tempo debates… apparently booked in to record 5 tracks on 26th April 😆 Meant to be rehearsing with “Fiasco Jam” on Saturday for the first time since January. That’ll be weird.

Now then… I might use that for recording the album…

Where’s the fun in that 😆 I WANT A NEW AMP 😉

I had both… I still have the 414.

Ah what a miserable old git I’m becoming. it was nice to be out of the comfort zone, and in retrospect a bit of fun which people seemed to enjoy. I need to stop taking myself so seriously.

I knew @Dood was the answer; it always is.

I’m at a point where I’m looking at rigs - I love my orange OBC112’s - but they’ve no Horn and now I’ve got 2 bands on the go, one really needs that tweeter “click”. Has anyone got experience of the Digbeth gear? I see the 500w heads kicking about at £250 ish and they intrigue me. but also the cabs… will they do slappy stuff as well as indie/rock… I’ve been using Ashdown ABM cabs with rootmaster heads at one rehearsal space - and all the cabs at the room a knackered but having used RM heads before, I know they’re pretty capable. not sure what to do - I’m in a position where I’ll have to sell current rig to buy another…

Needs the binding replacing - this is still a good price. i miss my marathon
