Merton

I think for me it’s about balance and use. Spotify is useful for creating a playlist of songs to learn by artists I wouldn’t normally listen to. 25+ years ago I had to buy countless CDs to do the same. All the artists I listen to I will always buy physical media and t shirts, gig tickets etc, and I will use Spotify in the car.

Playing at the Honky Tonk Collective in Poole with Katy Hurt - so we’ve learned some covers to splash through the set alongside her originals. Some fun basslines in there (Life Is A Highway by Rascal Flats for example). I believe we’ll be done by 10pm so I might just about make it to the party Mrs Mert will be at by about 00.30am 1/1/25 😆

I think 90% of us on here can say joining was our downfall 😆 Id been very happy either way a Fender Jazz and late-90s Trace Elliot rig til I came here, and since then things seem to come and go with alarming regularity. Back OT, I am hoping that in 2025 I’ll only have 2 5ers in my collection, a fretless and a sexy new ACG. Worst case I’ll have two ACG 5s but the rest will all be 4s

I know that Dave Perry (formerly of this parish) has the mother two headless Harlots but that doesn’t help find this one!

Pop a q on the ACG fan page on Facebook if you’re on there. Or if not I can for you

Jo’s just popped over and bought a Zoot Funkmeister from me. A very easy deal, top notch BCer!

You just replied to my enquiry within about 5 seconds 😆 Can’t argue with that!

It is my super power 🤓

I think there are two in the classifieds here. Definitely get one of them!

I have both the BF 2x12 and 2x10 If you’re a loud band, the 2x10 probably wont be ok for a gig without PA support. Well, you’ll be heard but not necessarily at the level you’d want to get. The 2x12 isn’t THAT much bigger and as it is so light, plus it has wheels, it’s easy to move

There is so much on here about why mixing cabs of different driver sizes isn’t really a good idea. But some people still do it and swear by it - it’s a crap shoot though and you won’t know if it works til you try it. Personally, I haven’t mixed cabs of different driver sizes since about 2007 and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone

I concur!

My bad memory then! Prob just having a bad day the other day…

Sadly not surprised by this. He came across as a bit of a dick in his autobiography tbh!

I’m pretty sure the Statii forum closed down a few years ago I’m afraid There’s a group on BookFace which may be of use, assuming you too are on BookFace… I could ask if you are not!

That is a sexy bass, I can see why you’re chuffed!

@skelf offers this with his ace BZ1 pickup. I had one in one of my ACGs for a while and it was very cool, lots of diverse tones available.

None of my basses are out of your league!
