Me too. Uh-oh 😅

This is bloody great! FWIW I prefer the original pickup cover and bridge matching the neck-thru

TBH I’m not sure what power stage the Original uses; I’d guess it’s the same ICEPower board that the RM500 uses but couldn’t be sure one way or the other. The Original 300... less sure again but I have a vague recollection that Mark Gooday hinted it WASN’T an ICEPower board for once.

Yes. My wallet is sweating and it’s not just the heat 😅 PS also contemplating the Pro Neo cabs argh

There’s a demo on the Andertons YouTube channel of the RM and the Original head; my personal feeling is the Original 500 head has a sweeter sounding EQ than the RM but the RM has the drive, sub and compressor which make it more versatile as a standalone head. Depends on how you do all your tone shaping I guess. If I didn’t already have 3 million amps I’d have an Original 500 as a spare, especially at the current Andertons price.

Airbourne come to mind, shamelessly aping the AC/DC sound. Greta Van Fleet were accused of being Zep-lite on their first album weren't they...

Good luck in your new home Nik! No words of wisdom from me as I don’t know your area at all I’m afraid

Thais is pretty much exactly the same as I’ve comissioned @Cosmicrain to build me! Lovely

Wish I'd not gone not the Andertons site following this. Lots of other stuff is reduced too, though not as drastic in reduction there is still a lot to cause me pause for thought. Dammit.

Thankfully not in a band with him anymore 😅

Yup, I have heard that Doug, and also possibly Guy Pratt, played on his first album?

Love his first album, not really listened to the second. Will have to take the time to listen! Agree re. Future Love Paradise

I know a good keys player / serial killer too. Small world haha

Me too. Current count is 5, none of them are particularly prolific in rehearsing and gigging so I'm not madly busy but I'm covering rock, blues, pop, punk and kids music so can't complain. Enjoy them all @AndyTravis

Lots of bands! Give them all a bit of time and see which one(s) have any staying power?

As in the brand is also owned by G4M or or they sold the brand (to ANOther) and the UK stock to G4M? Sorry for a pedantic question but it may give us a clue to their future!

Watched 5/6 of this tonight. Love it, really cool. Speaking of the various all-female punk bands, I used to be in a band with one of the Ramonas. I think she hated me for a long time because of the fact I quit that band 😅

My wife works for an electronics components company. Their factories are currently operating on leadtimes between 4 months and 13. Yes, over a year on a lead time for a tiny little crystal for your digital circuit timing, worth $0.02. They are but a tiny part of the massive puzzle which @agedhorse has discussed above. It’s just one of those things right now, sadly.

Marooochick Don’t get me wrong, they look wonderful, but there was a point in time where everyone seemed to be getting one

Cheers It’s a Tourtech TTPB-4. I was in two minds between the Pedaltrain Classic Jr and the Warwick Rockboard 3.1 but this was cheaper than both and the reviews suggested it was just as good. I have to say I am hard pressed to tell the difference in quality between this and my (soon to be for sale 😅) Pedaltrain Metro16

New board to accommodate the Barefaced Machinist I won in their recent Instagram competition 😎

Yup that would be my choice too.

Yep the new little bag/case thing is great. Very well padded, really nice touch.

Just received my Machinist from Barefaced after winning their competition on Instagram. Can’t wait to fire it up later today when I’m free from meetings...
