“With age comes wisdom …” (Johnny English - Reborn) - a physically lightweight backline which more than punches its weight makes perfect sense, Dunsy. Better than 😩 there goes my back line! 👍
100%! I still can't believe that I used to carry all that stuff back in the day. Getting older fair gives you a perspective on what your back (and ears) can handle.
@@DunsysGuitarWorld Sold my Carlsbro combo not long ago for that reason! Had it since school, so was quite attached to it. Bought it having been recommended by Brian Robertson, in BEAT Instrumental - you’ll remember the magazine. Never did sound like Robbo but it was a great amp. Gone down from 60w to 30w now - still plenty loud enough for my needs and light enough for my back! 👍
My first amp, bought in 1968, was a Gibson Thor bass amp. Although I wasn't really a bass player, (I had a Kay Speed Demon) I'd bought a Japanese Teisco bass to impress a girl I was sweet on who loved bass. Didn't work, she wasn't interested. The Thor weighed as much as a Buick. Later on in the 70's I used to loan it to a bass player friend. One snowy January night at a jam session in which much beer was involved, we didn't want to carry it back to the car in the snow so we left it at the drummer's house where we were jamming. I continued to think it was safe there. Imagine my surprise when I found the drummer and his wife had gotten a divorce, he left the house and she sold it. Otherwise, I'd probably still have it. Dunsy, nice to see you have the late Ed Cassidy of Spirit drumming for you.
I love my Blackstar Amped 2 as recommended by you 👍🍺 Good to see some Twisted Nerve footage and you using the Japanese metal sticker guitar sounding good 🤘 I hope todays road trip with Fred goes well 🤞🙏
Excellent! I use a TC Electronic amp sim that goes into a Harley Benton 100W power amp, then into a ZT Lunchbox cab. The whole shebang probably weighs less than a Les Paul!
I’m looking at lighter alternatives to my lovely old peavey heritage vtx or relying on back line. Look forward to a review of your new gear. Looking and sounding great on the stage! Cheers.
Sounds good! That fender doesn't look as cool as your LP's and Melody Makers though! 😜But yeah, great sound and seems like your rig has plenty of punch and power as well as being practical. 👍
Definitely similar - I actually take both to gigs and could use the BluGuitar as a backup if ever needed. Having the built in effects on the Blackstar is great though.
