Lewis bought a Pedaltrain Metro16 from me - paid over the weekend for me to post on Monday. Top notch, easy comms, great guy to deal with

This looks very very cool https://www.gibson.com/en-gb/blogs/gibson-gazette/how-the-mesa-boogie-bass-800d-channels-50-years-of-bass-amp-innovation

Just got in after an excellent, but LOUD, gig with Katy Hurt at the Hogs Back Brewery Hop Harvest festival. Weather was changeable and literally 15 minutes before we were due on the heavens opened, but thankfully the rain stopped and the sun shone for our entire hour set. The lineup was eclectic but cool, naturally there was great beer, the crowd was superb, and the sound (onstage at least) was great, (except for the loud bit 😆). We played well on the whole, my ACG/Elf/Two10 rig was sounding mint, Gab played a blinder and Katy was in fine voice. Really enjoyed it, just wish I’d put my earplugs in…

Nice. Played both over the last couple of years with Katy Hurt. Next time I’ll drag you along 😀

Music stands and blowing amps - bleurgh! Is that Gullivers?

Stop talking about me 😟 😀

Great video! Not a surprise about the results but what an excellent way to demonstrate it all.

Good grief that’s a stunner!

Having some interweb issues at home so not managed to post this pic til now… You can see how snug it is due to the handles but then I used one of the dividers from the Trace bag, then popped in the foot switch (as you can see), and also now the foot switch cable, a mains lead, my Elf, and a speaker cable for each amp. Handy!

Wet. Up early to drive to Lancashire from Surrey to play the Wafsville Country Music Festival. Traffic meant we arrived with 25 minutes to spare before going onstage, which was great in terms of not hanging around in a soggy field to be fair but we were slightly on edge… The rain set in as our set progressed so the crowd noticeably thinned as they sought the cover of the bar area at the back of the field. Onstage sound was very boomy, as it was out front apparently, so we came away feeling like we hadn’t quite played our best. But on the whole it was fun, the first full-band Katy Hurt gig since mid-July and we have another (much closer to home thankfully) in 2 weeks. Bass was of course the ACG, amp was the provided Ampeg SVT3 into a knackered 4x10 cab. Shoes were my brown suede Chelsea boots which now need a good drying 🤓
