99ster Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 Looks like Pete Turner of Elbow has stopped using Ashdown - Mesa (Carbine?) rig here: [url="http://www.buildarocketboys.com/"]Build A Rocket Boys[/url] And first time I've seen him with (70's) P bass... Quote

An old friend of mine was supposed to buy that bass from a guy who owned it @ Beehive Mill in Manchester. However, his £30 deposit was trumped buy a large cash payment by the Elbow boys. Think it's gone to a good home personally! Oh, and the Mesa Rig looks and sounds superb! Quote
Sonic_Groove Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Story here from Mesa site: [url="http://mesaboogie.com/news/2011/04/artist-spotlight-mark-potter-pete-turner-elbow/"]http://mesaboogie.com/news/2011/04/artist-...e-turner-elbow/[/url] Pete is a long time user of the L6 Bass Pod for effects (as seen with Mesa rig in pictures) does anyone know how he routes it to the amp or how he bypasses/blends it?

Ultima2876 Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 This is a mega-bump, but I just wanted to say that I'm not surprised the Beehive Mill guys accepted a big cash buyout instead of honouring their deposit. It's hit and miss for them to even honour a booking these days... for that precise reason we rehearse at Blueprint now Quote
