Man, that's very nice indeed.... I had (and stupidly sold) a paisley Telecaster, and have wanted a bass in the same scheme for ages.

If either of these takes your fancy I'll print you one.

I'm a big fan of Rob's work; he lives just down the road from me and it's a treat to see his creations coming together. Did you commission this one?

It's not something I've ever been interested in, somehow.

Woah, lads - I'm really enjoying these clips!

Blimey, Stub - hope you're back in action soon, old chap.

Exactly... Doesn't make sense to me.

I'm running a 4ohm 2x15, so I think that should be sufficient!

Thanks for your comments, everyone. The Eden rig I normally use is a WTX 500 and it has all the punch I need. I'm a reasonably seasoned hand in terms of gigging etc and know that it's not a numbers game. I just quite like the tone of the Elf but it hasn't got the headroom of the Eden so I was wondering if there's a Trace rig that sounds like the Elf but has a bit more left in the tank, so to speak, when in a band context. Cheers, JRK

Hi all, I had a thought (steady!) at rehearsal tonight and now I can't stop thinking it. I usually play through a David Eden amp and I really like it, but apropos of nothing, I've used my Elf the last two weeks. Now, at present there's just me and my mate on guitar, so volume's not been an issue when using my 4ohm 2x15 cab, but I think adding a drummer, possibly another guitarist and at least two vocals might be a bit more than the wee Elf can cope with in the volume stakes. So, here's the thing - do/did Trace make anything that sounds similar (because I love the toanz) but that will kick out about 500w into that same 4ohm cab? At the moment it looks like the Elf and the TE-1200 are their only offerings. Any thoughts etc gratefully received. Cheers, JRK

Why's the Grim reaper scared of his wife?

Be grateful it wasn't your drummer, I think.

Could be worse; mine's like a welder's bench. It's so bad I use a Precision to make me look good.

Da iawn, @Ramirez. Very pleased to hear that your brother is back in action after such a serious health problem.

There are where we get the timber for short-scale necks, presumably?

How did I miss this? That's a killer bass, Andy. I love it - but is it any good for metal?

What are you, an amateur? You make them dig the hole first, man. Jeez....

As far as the set-list goes, how about making a card up that can be slipped in a back pocket?

Just choose an appropriately loud outfit; nobody will notice the bass.

@MichaelDean, that's a great t-shirt, by the way!

That looks grand; I also agree with you that a great result is easier to get in nitro than in poly.

Wow, that looks gorgeous!
