Excellent, MiniMert (and you poor sods!) will have to put up with me making bad noises through it for a bit

This won’t hang around long at that price! -
sponsored Hello From The Bass Gallery!
Merton replied to thebassgallery's topic in General Discussion
Hello Charlie! Big props to you last year for your patience whilst I changed my mind two or three times about which Barefaced can to buy -
Beautiful, I do love me a Status bass. Thesedays I prefer 32” scale but I am having a serious ponder...!
-
Awesome testament to his work ethic and success, nice! I have about 5 or 6 Elwoods specced oh my phone, just trying to decide which way to go with it now. A classic (eg white/tort) or a bit different (that would be telling!). Once I’ve played some at the London Bass Show next week I’ll be closer to a decision
-
Me too!

Bloody brilliant

Not Katies and Point Dexter, followed later in March by Def Leppard.... Oh yes.

Wot 'e sed! Also, if it's overkill for you, chuck it darn sarf..... -
Lovely! Next SE Bass Bash that Scarab needs to make an appearance! (Please!)
-
Funnily enough it’ll have a maple top with transparent coloured finish probably so your suggestion is bang on where I was headed! Builder? Maruszczyk
-
That is very pretty

I’d love a Chapperell 12 string or a 4 string Scarab, just to pretend I’m Jeff Ament and Rick Savage respectively 😎
-
FWIW I’m thinking given that ebony is quite a bright fingerboard it’s be good to go Alder body to soften it a bit...
-
So I’m getting closer to pulling the trigger on a custom jazz made by a certain well respected European manufacturer. Still undecided on core body wood so interested in people’s opinions please! The neck will likely be maple with ebony board but may be maple/maple....

Long

I’m hoping to see the new Spector Bantam shorty too.....

Can’t wait to try/hear this amp in the flesh (somehow!). It looks absolutely bob on what I want in an all valve head. Not that I need it, but that’s another story haha -
I agree. If I had PA backup I wouldn’t have pushed mine so hard. The fact I know I can use it without PA to me is a good thing, though I do think if that were the norm then I’d avoid it! As a backup it’s perfect for my “loud” gigging situations and for my “less loud” situations I can use it as the main head if I want to
-
It’s a great little head isn’t it? I gigged one a couple of weeks back with my BF SC, no PA support, and it just got on with it. There wasn’t really any headroom left but it didn’t sound like it was struggling at all, was really very nice. It has a warmer, more musical limiter than the GK MB200 IMO.
-
That’s a shame, I quite like a bit of Mr Big and thought you were doing a subtle homage to their drummer who just passed away! But now I will go and watch the Blackstar video 😃

Cracking link to a Mr Big video!

Currently using an ABM500, which I picked up for very very little off eBay as it was advertised as an Ash Down Made the pain of losing the CTM easier. One day I’ll have a CTM100 again, at the moment quite looking forward to getting my mitts on the CTM30 Little Stubby though 😇
-
I don’t actually have a CTM100 at the moment (cash flow issues forced me to sell) but it’s been paired with a Barefaced Super Compact, 2 BF SCs or an Ashdown VS212 in the past. Bloody glorious with all of them.
