    Perfect!

    Have you ever turned on all those rigs and played through them simultaneously? If not, why not? 😁

    Simon bought a Barefaced Machinist pedal from me in what I can only describe as a seamless deal. Very easy transaction, great comms. Thanks!

    He needed a job after Star Trek and Big Bang Theory 🤓

    Jesus these are like busses! I bought one about a month back from BassBros and now two are on here! Bloody lovely amp - GLWTS

    Did another rehearsal last night. Same band, same room, slightly more sensible volume settings. Sounded bloody glorious with my ACG TKO bass (essentially a PJ in series). Video of a song, professionally videoed and edited by me and my iPhone, warts and all..:

    Bargain! I’ve just got the earlier version of this with the two band EQ and contour control, it’s a bloody marvellous thing. GLWTS

    New pics with my Basschat lanyard in, as per Ped’s post in General discussion:

    Would be ace if you do get a chance to play it live! Hopefully an option will appear for you

    Yeah it was a ridiculously loud evening tbh, the drummer is an even harder hitter than my normal drummist who I thought was LOUD! Never had an SVT - I just abbreviated Super ST to ST because I’m lazy 😄 With my TE-1200 I found I wanted to give it a slight EQ curve from the HX Effects to make it sound more like my Two10 cab, which works very very well with the Trace head. TBH the Handbox does too, and for my other musical projects I suspect I won’t need the ST but for this it was nice to keep up with the rest of the band and have a bit of spare headroom. It’s not often an amp keeps getting louder when you get past those settings but this certainly can!

    Finally had a chance to use the WB-100 in anger. Band practice for a new (ish) band, two guitarists with 2x12s and a hard hitting drummer. Used my Barefaced Super Twin, and it sounded glorious. I normally add an EQ curve on my HX Effects to tame the mids of the ST but I didn’t need that at all. This amp sounded much better without it, for this band at least. And I was asked told to turn down twice. Marvellous 😁

    Lovely basses both, but that Stingray is 😍 I now feel I *need* a Stingray in my life too 😆

    SOLD For sale only - no trades. Selling because I’ve just picked up a gorgeous Handbox WB100 and don’t need two valve heads. You could argue this is a home practice head and the WB is for gigs but I have two modern Trace Elliot heads as well, so it makes sense for this to be the amp to make way. So what is it? A lovely all valve head, designed in the UK by the Ashdown boys. This is a PRC-made model but having owned a UK-made one before there is no difference between them. I bought this in 2015 I think and it’s been at home in my music room ever since. It has been out of the house about 3 times in that period and has never put a foot wrong. There’s a slight rattle from the chrome front panel when you get loud but that’s it. If you don’t know what it sounds like, it can do nice and creamy valve tones at low volume or get very barky and angry as you push it hard. Give it a sensitive cab and it’s perfectly giggable with a sensible band and stage volume. This will be supplied with a Roqsolid cover and an IEC mains cable. UK mainland only - delivery included in the price. If you want to collect or arrange a local meet around South East Surrey/West Sussex/Kent/East Sussex then we can negotiate

    How well did the Trace fit? I’ve been contemplating a better case than the supplied one for a while…

    I’ve put three but it’s not clear cut because I have 4 heads and 2 cabs, so a multitude of options really… Heads: Trace Elliot TE1200 Handbox WB100 Trace Elliot Elf Ashdown Little Bastard (soon to be on loan to @eude, then willl be going up for sale) Cabs: Barefaced Two10S Barefaced Super Twin Realistically the Elf is only used with the Two10, the TE1200 only with the ST, and Handbox can be used with either cab. I suppose that’s 4 then 😂

    40th birthday party for a friend last night. Said friend runs a livery yard and decided to have the party in the school. It’s a very sandy outside school a good 500m+ from any power, so thankfully her partner had two 3kW generators. We only used one, the second as a backup, as we never went beyond a load of about 0.7kW. I have to say I was dubious about the plans but we got by without a hitch pretty much. The guitarist’s pedal board was being dicky and I’m not sure how much of that was power-related vs just having a few soft connections. I’d spent the morning putting down the “staging” and building a gazebo to cover the band, then the afternoon dismantling my music room and transporting it over there. Why? Because our normal roster of drummers were all unavailable and so we came up with the novel solution of using both my son (15) and the keyboard player’s son (also 15). Therefore not only did I need my basses and HX Effects but all of Theo’s kit, which is normally planted in the music room. Both boys did brilliantly and it’s fair to say I had a bit of a proud dad moment going on throughout the parts of the sets my son played. Feedback from the crowd was that, if we’d not said anything about it, no-one would have noticed. Can’t get better than that. MiniMert now gets to say he earned some of his money for a school Ecuador trip next summer by playing drums for money. I hope it spurs him on to do more! 9e5deeec-ffa0-46f5-831d-796653746465.mov

    Marvellous, thanks @wateroftyne 😎
  22. Merton
    Sounds even better! It’s gorgeous. I have a ridiculous set of amps really 😆
  23. Merton
    Had a little play. My word. It does everything the Ashdown Little Bastard does and SO much more. So versatile. And all useable, musical tones. It sounds superb with all my basses, my favourite being the ACG TKO. Can’t wait to get it to a band situation!
  24. Merton
    I don’t know anything so the more info the better! I’ll be using a Barefaced Two10 mostly, maybe a Super Twin on bigger events.
  25. Merton
    It’s here! Can I take the afternoon off work please?
