Looks like a Gibson Les Paul to me.

Not counting Squiers, the nearest equivalent Fender range is the Player Plus, where are currently retailing for c. £1k. Assuming all the lessons of the past have been learned and the new SMXs retail for (say) £850 for a 4-string, adding the VTC preamp and selling the old one would still make them less than the Fender.

Want to? Yes. Can afford to? No. Space to store two extra cabs? Definitely not.

Same, and have used it for exactly that purpose!

I'm sure in the past both sides have realised that something had gone wrong and agreed not to be d*cks about things, but I imagine there would be people who would try and enforce it.

Honestly this is the biggest bargain on that site: https://thebassgallery.com/collections/bass/products/fender-jazz-bass-1992. I'm sure that £5 off £20k makes all the difference...

It's still showing as available at the original price for me.

That very much does help, thanks! Maybe I'll save it for when I can buy an extra two and can run all three cabs at full bore. Might need another amp at that point though. Hmm...

I think after I've acquired myself a new SMX the VTC upgrade will definitely be happening at some point. I don't often need a tone control but it would be nice to have, and if the overall preamp quality is better then it just seems like an overall good thing to do. I'm surprised they still haven't done this - even including the VTC preamp the new models would still be cheaper than the equivalent Fender (I assume they're choosing to ignore the existence of Sire...)

If you like imperfection then I'm your man!

Think I'll get a second one eventually but for now budgetary and space constraints say that one will do

He should have offered to do her a favour and take a couple off her hands for free, since Geezer would have been unlikely to have noticed.

Dear reader, We refer you to the response given in Arkell v Pressdram. Yours, &c.

That sounds distracting to say the least

It's in the dictionary after "liar" 😉

Ah, now that's an entirely separate matter 😂

Ooh baby!

I've played through a 4x10 before, is it much different?

Ah, my enabler chimes in 🤣

Just to clarify the Barefaced Two10S cabs are switchable from 4 to 12 ohms each, so adding the second speaker would require both of them running at 12 ohms, so 6 ohms total, which is where the 450W figure came from. But I fully take your point.

OK, so as I understand it in a nutshell, as long as the venue isn't large with no FOH PA one cab will probably be fine. Thanks chaps!

Usually it's vocals (x2) and synth through the PA, the guitarist and I use cabs. For a larger gig it may well be all of us bar the drums going through the PA.
