I’m banned from using my “big” rig at home...I usually use the little combo for quieter home use although I usually end up relegated to headphones 😔

I said to my friend that if I’d been under the same amount of influence as the artist...I might get it more. In fairness, I let Solid Air run and then Spotify did that thing of suggesting other artists in a playlist - lots of Joni Mitchell and Nick Drake...listened to some, skipped some. Then the Unthanks came on with Brighouse and Rastrick Colliery Band - that was enjoyable.

A mate had the 210 Combo from this range and the matching 115. Was quite a rig to be fair. the Marshall badges snap off and the tolex/paint coating is pretty wafer thin... but they were good for the money - and yours will be especially good for the price 😊

I’m trying to get into John Martyn on someone’s recommendations. it’s not for me. See, everyone raves about different things.

See. That’s something that is. Still think it’d be too heavy...

Think it was a 412 and a 410, or was it a 415 and a 412

Wrong...it’s this

yeasssss. I admire mine daily.

I often debate a Stacked knob set up for mine, but I don’t want to mod it. A CS64. Also has the pleasure of tweaking @sshorepunk’s similar (but not the same) CS64 last week which was also in the realm of “best Jazz I’ve played...”

Well...if he does it enough to make that kind of money 😂 I hope he means he has “feel” or “groove” (🤮) and that he can put the layer in that we’re missing. Although it could be a shallow attempt to get my attention - in which case; it’s worked.

I’m sure we will - I’m going to keep going until something sticks. A chap has messaged saying he’s like Nile Rogers... give him a shot...

So. Both guys got the thumbs down. Should’ve called ourselves “Goldilocks”. Apparently we’re back to square one.

This is making the trousers twitch at the moment too...prefer the mk1 shape though...

Love these too.

I’ve got audio of them playing 3 of the same songs. Haven’t had loads of time to analyse it. Guy 1 (originally a no show, and then late...) is “better” - just plays cleaner, and smarter. Guy 2 - actually a bit all over the show, sounded better in the room and “creative” might not actually mean “better” 😂 not as in the fence as I was - although I’m not sure either are right.

I always really rated the HA series heads. They could’ve just kept that user interface and look and downsized it using a more modern power stage to reduce weight. The LH’s were uninspiring. From what I remember - although remarkably tidy on the inside. The Kilo made little or no sense (When it arrived) and we had 4 on order for people which never showed and resulted in cancelled or switched orders. If a brand gets landed with a crap distributor - it’s game over.

That’s the one...I have to own this one one day. I’ve had about 6 stingrays, but the Namm one is the one I’ve been chasing.

Thought about 3 designs I like - love partial pickguards on a bass...

I’ve got 4 kids, singer us 3, drummer has 2. I really can empathise with people and their jobs, mine is absolutely amazing in many ways and frustrating - some days I debate working stacking shelves. In all honesty, I want to hear the recordings back from tonight and see what’s what before messaging the first guy to say “thanks, but no”. The drummer and Singer want to invite Second guitarist from tonight back next week. I’m on the fence.

I suppose it should, yeah. Didn’t think at the time.

Mine was desert gold too - like a metallic orange 😂

I had one for about 5 years. Sound wise, I’ve never found another bass like it - I wish I still had one solely for that. At the time though I was recording a lot - ended up seated with it a lot and I got it in my head that the bottom horn was an uncomfortable design flaw...(I know there are some would say that was the least of its aesthetic problems). ultimately it was sold in haste. Now I’d love that set of sounds back. Think I only got something pathetic like £700 for it...

So. Original Guy who was a no show... Arrived at 8.20pm (planned meet time was 8pm). But, really nice guy - set up, played the songs he’d learned from the EP pretty well, added some of his own style. Had to keep telling him to turn up a bit. We worked around a chord sequence with no direction other than the root notes. Seemed to give a few ideas. Second Guy arrived on time, wasn’t what I was expecting from the messages. Seems to have good ideas, had learned two songs also. just overplayed a bit...maybe a nerves thing? Still none the wiser. Waiting to hear from the drummer and singer as we didn’t get chance to talk much as we overran.
