Merton

Watched it a couple of nights ago, it all became clear when I realised Jason Hook was an executive producer or something. There were so many guys it could have featured and ultimately you’ll never please everyone. FWIW I enjoyed it on the whole, the missus didn’t enjoy the fret wankery as much as me though, but she learned a bit about Randy Rhoades so can’t all be bad

This is very similar to one of the (many) I am contemplating next year! Very nice sir, great Christmas present to yourself 👍🏻

Good news!

The BTA is a beast. Sounds amazing, needs a crane to lift it 😜

Whenever I see it mentioned I (perhaps mistakenly) just presume they mean the preshape and that’s what I always have in mind. A slightly clipped mid cut sound. I completely agree many amps can provide this - Eden and SWR have a mid cut control, Ashdown have a very similar preshape etc etc - but for some reason the “Trace sound” is the one which sticks in mind! I’m only speaking for myself of course

The classic scooped mids thing is where my brain is at. I don’t scoop anywhere near as aggressively myself but I was able to make the Elf sound like the Trace preshape (at least sound like my memory of it!)

Agreed, the One10 is a truly remarkable little beast. I think I may have to get a second next year at some point...

Classy rig, classy photo. Nice!

This is going to be another absolute cracker from Alan. His limba bodies are amazing!

So I now own one of these too, and gigged it yesterday. I like it a lot, very impressive power and punch, plus I managed to find a tone not too dissimilar from the Trace of old. Paired with my Barefaced One10 it sounds glorious, I suspect I could easily do small pub gigs with it and my Barefaced Super Compact

I really have a feeling I’ll be joining this club next year. Some form of Elwood medium scale but still deciding on colours...

It’s good at low volume, but my Hotone Nano Legacy head is better as there’s more control over the low volumes whereas this gets loud quickly!

So I just acquired this from hen barn of this parish - a top fella he is! I heard Mick’s Elf at the SE bass bash and was impressed, I think this will be perfect for my gig in a rock band for kids, and for rehearsals etc. Saturday I’ll find out for sure... He she is, perched atop my delightful Barefaced One10:

Steve is a true gent, I bought a Trace Elliot Elf from him and he very kindly waited for me to return for a short break and then arranged to bring it to a convenient meeting place whilst running other errands. Top chap!

Ok now I’m sold!

Nice! Still unsure on the tweed/silver cloth thing but it’s growing on me...

The Man With The Stars On His Knees - Aaron Buchanan and the Cult Classics Its great!

I like the new song and the live version of Big Empty is daemon facebook. Robert DeLeo and Eric Kretz make a sublime rhythm section IMO

I’ve not seen these before, nice! Must not investigate further.....

Very nice little surprise!

Awesome!

Nom!

It does look narrower and taller doesn’t it! Can’t help but I agree based on those photos

I use a Hotone Nano Legacy with headphones or my BF One10. It’s perfect for home practice - you can run an mp3 player into it if you wish. And it sounds like a mini SVT!
