Fair enough. I’ve been playing in bands with him for 20 years so know his style well, perhaps I’m less aware of it these days and just compensate by being lazy and crap 😀

Why not?

Cool. I play for an alt-country singer then 🤓

What is alt country anyway? 😄

Alt Country… contemporary country… not sure how Katy Hurt would describe herself but I am privileged to play in her band. Here’s a couple of GoPro clips from summer festival gigs:

Apart from my playing it sounded incredible, a really lovely pairing. If I were in the market for new cabs I’d be seriously working out how to get one of these LFSys 12” cabs. @stevie and I did an A/B with my Two10s but of course it’s not comparing apples and apples, as the Two10 is designed to have high end roll off, a bit more distortion from the cone (I.e. it’s not trying to be ultra clean and accurate…) and the LFSys is of course designed to be accurate. I love my Two10s but the clarity and power that the LFSys was able to generate was incredible. I could see how it would work brilliantly in the mix onstage. It’s a really very very good cab.

I missed a trick actually - earlier in the day @stevie was using the Trace to show off his cabs. The pairing sounded incredible 😊 But ultimately, each to their own etc etc 😎

Great day! Guy and Laurence both excellent, as were the Basschat team behind the day. And lovely to see old friends and new faces. @stevie’s LFSys cabs are superb, especially the 12” version.

Get well soon @silverfoxnik

The list this morning: Cup o’tea Bite to eat Load car Hit the road See y’all soon!

My sound is my fingers, bass and the preamp settings I choose. The amps and cabs I choose are there to enhance those other facets to my tone; I probably sound the same through the majority of amps etc but feel the Trace/BF rig allows me to focus on the playing more

Add yourself back on!

Anyone got a Retrovibe P30 that they could bring along? Got a real hankering for some form of 30” P type thingy… 🤦🏼‍♂️

Don’t be so sensible 🤪

I wonder if it’s a landscape One10T, a bit like the Super3rd is designed to sit on top of the Super Twin, this will be to sit atop a vertical Two10 perhaps…

Aww crap, a Three10? Noooo!

Yes. That was my rig for a while and it was great! As soon as I read your thread title my mind went to the RM too

I am

It is!

It will be there, as (possibly) will the builder himself

I’ve tried the cheaper route and at low volume there’s not a lot of difference. As you increase the volume… different story. I’ve ended up with Barefaced cabs.

Got home at 3am from a wonderful Katy Hurt gig in Sheffield at Greystones, with the wonderful Joe Martin in support. Last date for 2023, we started messing around with 3 new songs in the green room and they point to a bright 2024 if we can finish them off. Receptive crowd, singing along to all the songs, even found myself signing things at the end which is a bit novel for the “new bloke” but very cool. Zoot Funky 4 was the weapon of choice, through my TE1200 and a pair of Two10S cabs. Sounded blimmin marvellous. Knackered now after a day at work and a hard yoga session just now 🤣

I’ll have my 5 string short scale unlined fretless
