Make certain sure that the amp will actually work on 240V 50Hz before you plug it in. A lot of amps aimed at the US market are not. If the amp will work on on 240V it will say so near the IEC socket. There may also be a switch that will need to be changed to allow for UK mains.

Already had the right fuses ready to go and flicked the switch before doing anything else 🤓

@Merton  you lucky boy!  I am really looking forward to the video review you will be uploading here shortly 😉

 

I pulled the trigger on a GK Legacy 800 this afternoon so I'm not as green with envy as I should be.  Actually no, I am green with envy.

I occasionally practise through a Barefaced One10 and my Elf.  They really are a good pairing.  I bet your Two10 and the new 1200w Trace are going to sound sublime.

They really do. So far it seems to prefer passive basses but that just needs a bit of tweaking and I haven’t really got enough time for that right now. It’s a good start, the natural tone is more musical to me than the “EQ at 0” on the Glockenklang but it will take time to work out if that’s just “new amp syndrome” kicking in.

@Merton I hope you're gonna bring this to the SE Bass Bash? 😁

Absolutely!

I’ve got two Barefaced Two10 cabs so we can do decent A/Bs with any amp people choose :)

Gawd!  I'd love to be there to share both memories and ideas. I think it would be a pile of fun!

 

I've not heard of the like here in the Toronto area. :(

How much are flights to the UK at the moment? 😀

The problem is that my wife can barely walk and a flight to Manchester is more that she is able to do. 

 

Damn Covid and the surgeries that got cancelled because of it! :(

Surprisingly not... happy to be an occasional freight forwarder though. :D

 

I miss Bass Bashes. Last one I was at was, like, 10 years ago.

So organize one yourself Paul. I live fairly far from any urban area but several people from 4 hours or further away showed up at many of the ones I put on. I even flew to the other US coast for one, although it wasn't the only reason for that trip.

Many in the US think of us in Canada as being raving Socialists , one step from being Commies. 
… we have Healthcare and gun restrictions. And the metric system!

On Talkbass there is a gentleman who I was fond of called Passingwind.  I got kicked off the site for trying to warn people in the US what Trump was trying to do. :(

I know that guy Paul, he keeps looking back at me in the mirror every morning. Stalker freak! 😉

 

Many of us who are still over there miss you, all the best to you and yours.

Thank you. I miss the Guys and Gals on Talkbass:)

Talkbass haven't kicked you out too have they?  :(

Nope, never so much as a warning. Hard to believe, I know. I've been on here for several years now in any case.
