Ashborygirl Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) 13 minutes ago, Downunderwonder said: Trace was in suspended animation for a bit. What of it? Gibson relinquished the brand and some remainder of parts to Peavey and boy oh boy have they (eventually) breathed the life back into it. Neither dead nor a budget brand. Gibson were poor custodians of Trace Elliot. They didn't put anything into R&D for it so it withered away. The brand survived Peavey's initial missteps and now flourishes. None of that is consistent with your assertion that Trace is now a budget brand due to Gibson. That is patently incorrect. Is Emglish your native language? Oh the irony. I did not say TE was a budget brand. Gibson bought an aspirational, class leading brand & shut it down in just 4 years. If you think that was improving the brand, fair enough, I have some magic beans to sell you.

Newfoundfreedom Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Basschat is coming pretty close to being dead to me. Almost every thread turns into a pointless bitch fest which has little or nothing to do with the original post. It's all getting rather tedious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) 19 hours ago, Downunderwonder said: Right there above. Crap may be an exaggeration of budget but Mesa is definitely not budget, and neither is Trace thanks to Peavey's resurrection. What makes you think they're not budget? Do they make their own in house IC's and power modules etc to some spec beyond everyone else? or are they using the same mass produced Chinese components that Behringer use in their stuff but charging a premium for the name?

tauzero Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I must be slipping. I try Fender, and despite 75% of the denizens of BC being Fender fanbois (and goils), no response whatsoever. Someone else goes for Gibson, and despite the fact that only @neepheid loves them, there are pages and pages of responses. Bah. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that time there were a number of billing platforms with all sorts of weird and wonderful tariffs on them. These billing platforms were not compatible with each other. The Consumer and the Business departments didn't work together. There were a number of special tariffs for bulk buying resellers (virtual networks) like Tesco Mobile and the like. These pricings actually undercut the Business prices and caused endless issues. Oh and of course Vodafone Global HQ was in the same complex in Newbury. Lots of infighting and of course corporate climbers throwing colleagues under the bus so they could crawl a bit further up the ladder. I think the other main networks weren't much better. Late to the party. I was the VAT Manager for Vodafone Global for a few years. Very odd place to work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did ask the question earlier in the thread, "So what do you mean by 'budget gear'? Do you mean cheaper to produce, or cheaper to buy?", but nobody answered, so, yeah. Has anyone got any sweet'n'salty? Dad's is running out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
