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 😎

Sounds even better! It’s gorgeous. I have a ridiculous set of amps really 😆

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!

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.

It’s here! Can I take the afternoon off work please?

If I ever decide it’s not for me (which based on all the feedback on here is highly unlikely!) I’ll let you know first

Original one, so prob will need one of those Designacable attenuators for the DI. Quite looking forward to trying it out!

I slipped and accidentally landed on the Bass Bros page…

I may have just accidentally purchased a WB-100 from Bass Bros. Proof will follow when it arrives 😅

A custom build RetroB 5 string. More details will emerge in 2025 😅

Given that I was out a few weeks with the pedalboard power supply thing, I decided to go all the way and have just put a deposit down on a new ACG. So that’s me out for 2025 as well 😀🤓

I had one in my ACG Finn 4 for a while, and did a shitty little video to compare all the options if it helps https://www.instagram.com/p/COpo2UGDc5v/?igsh=Z2FzOGIwczN0NHBt
