Well despite Fair Deal Music in Birmingham having pretty much the exact spec Sandberg Lionel I would want I am still in. I plan on remaining “in” too…. We’ll see 😅

I have to say @tobiewharton I’m very glad that’s going your way. @eude sent me a pic earlier and I thought “oh good god I’m in trouble” 🤣🤣 Thankfully not 😃

Woooof! That Jake is marvellous 😍

Furyon’s debut album Gravitas. Far superior to their second and last album. Produced by Rick Beato. Huuuge sounding. Before that I was on the new Florence Black album, Bed Of Nails, which is mighty. Not sure if the neighbours agree, but.. 🤷🏼♂️

Currently clean but having a massive wobble, over either a Sandberg Lionel or commissioning another ACG. Aiming to stay the course, don’t hold yer breath though 😂

Another lover of Newtones! Think I might need to order some more soon actually… I like the picks they’ve started doing too, though annoyingly dropped my favourite one down the bit between my car seat and the centre console and can’t find it 😭

Yep - I have actually found an almost identical one but passive… trouble brewing 😂 -

Finally got my mitts on a Sandberg Lionel today. This one to be precise. I have to say it was lovely. The neck was smooth and fast, felt like a cross between a P and a J to me. Wasn’t a fan of the active circuit but in passive mode I really enjoyed the tone. I have always been convinced I’d get a maple neck/maple board if I ever had the funds to buy one but the pau ferro board was gorgeous and I expect helped with the warm smooth tone. Certainly gave me some food for thought if I ever get to the point of being able to afford one… -
@ToLo I live in Surrey but work in Sevenoaks. I have both a Two10 and an Elf. PM me if you want to work something out

Badass! Nice work 😊

Awesome fun. Katy Hurt and band opened the new south coast “Buck’n’Bull” pop up country and western themed night at Canvas in Bournemouth. Packed crowd all well up for it, and out of the ~350 strong crowd a fair percentage knew all the words to all Katy’s songs which was ace. It was fecking loud but that aside we had a blast 🤠

Thankfully my bank balance will not allow a purchase unless I sell things. Not sure I have anything I want to sell at the moment, unless anyone needs a kidney?

That being said I can’t find it now… where’s it gone??? There’s this one though:

I almost survived last year. I see no reason why this year can’t be that one step better 🤓 (Best not to mention I’m in Bournemouth this weekend so will be heading to Absolute Music to try out the Sandberg Lionel they have on sale…..)

Think that Jake is on here for less

Trace Elliot TE1200 review from a blind player's perspective
Merton replied to JGSpector's topic in Amps and Cabs
Found it: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/trace-elliot-design.1521151/page-8#post-26263258 Both the TE and the MiniMega use Peavey proprietary design, based on the IPR series; not ICE. Fred also confirms the TE is in no way a rebadged MiniMega, it is its own design outright (incl power amp and power supply) -

Merton replied to JGSpector's topic in Amps and Cabs
The power section isn’t ICE, it’s based on a Peavey IPR power amp I think? Happy to be told I’m wrong but I’m sure that’s what Fred @ Peavey said on Talkbass -

Think I might have sussed the compressor. Huzzah! -

It gives us an excuse to play if nothing else 😎 And I can only imagine how this works with a Big Twin given its affinity with the Super Twin! -

@JGSpector that’s similar to where I run the gain - good to know ref the comp settings!
