Ok I’ll bite - yes 🤓

Sorry @AndyTravis, that was mean 😘

Happy February present to someone else…? 😜

I’ve not bought anything except a Backbeat v1. I sold it a couple of months later as decided I didn’t need it. So it was my best and worst 😄

@stevie’s LFSys cabs are exceptional. The Monaco especially so, though I appreciate that isn’t what was mentioned here. Would love to try one on a gig! Note they are very different in concept to the Barefaced x10 range

I have one and it’s very easy to use. I barely use it though, and was thinking of selling…

Likewise! Often get told to turn down tbh. And as @BassAdder60 said, the “big” Elf (TE1200) is 4 Ohm min as well, but Peavey did say they were testing its stability at 2 ohms…

Both bassists and all basses sounded great but that Blitz was my favourite. Immense tone!

It was a great gig! I was explaining to someone about Doug’s Trace cabs as they weren’t sure what they were - had to stop myself going into full geek mode 🤣 I thought both bands were great, though from where we were Gary Cherone did seem to be struggling to pitch a fair bit, always felt flat. But the energy levels and musicianship on display… wow. I think MiniMert was suitably impressed, his head was bobbing up and down throughout 😎 Great to see @cetera briefly as we’re were looking at the (tiny!) merch stand 🙂

You just have to use your ears I’m afraid. I discovered early on that getting the gain set right really made a difference to the compressor, and you can crank it a hell of a lot more than you may expect. I tend to err on the side of caution and keep it around 11-12 o’clock because I tend to run an HX Effects in front of it, with some overdrive, so don’t want to mistake amp/cab distortion for something I actually want there at war volume. Of you’ve got an Elf, I expect it has a similar gain structure to that as I can run that input gain very high before clipping, and feel I get similar results with the TE1200

MiniMert has a Jet Tele guitar, he loves it. As do I tbh; he tried Squiers, Epiphones and Jet options at GAK and went for the Jet. The neck is sublime, for a guitar worth £159 it’s amazing!

New strings! And great username 😎🤘🏻🤘🏻

It may be the official launch of new 10” drivers discussed elsewhere on here. Hoping it’s an amp though 😄

I need to get this downloaded asap!

I avoid singing in the quieter songs as much as I can, because it isn’t that far off those audience vocals… 😆

There’s some lovely audience singing on this one… Bear in mind the previous two videos were from larger festival stages… in the smaller environments like Pizza Express he’s a lot more sympathetic

Yeah he is quite a hard hitter. I’ll find a video where he shows he can play softly

Alas I can’t ask him if he likes the Katy stuff 😔

Thanks ☺️ He has a plethora of gorgeous guitars and depending on his mood and the song they all appear. He’s an incredible player and has a great feel and tone. And the songs he writes with Katy are pretty cool too 😀
