Good question.



I played a gig with this last night, and I absolutely adore the little bugger.

They are wonderful aren't they? Are you playing it slightly dirty in order to get loud enough? As long as you're not after pristine cleans they're definitely giggable.

I love mine.

so was plenty loud then? were you going straight into it or using pedals? also what kinda cab and speaker are you using?

With that closed-back 2x12 and the electrical guitar (which has HOT pickups) I can get it very loud and still pretty much clean. If you bash the guitar quite hard the amp starts to break-up. Awesome.

I love the silly handbag it comes in too. I kinda wish it was in an aluminium enclosure though. Then it'd be light as well as small.

Using a few pedals- compression, rattle crow, pog. Some unadulterated bits too. The cab has two celestion century vintage speakers in with the coolpants neodynium magnets that weigh as much as a piece of celery.

Don't bash the handbag! I love that crazy thing.

dudes with handbags are gay, unless it says 'orange' on it

ignore that, anyway

nice stuff timhulio, i didn't know someone on here owned a hagstrom f series guitar (the single coil version) .. is that a refin ? haven't seen that color before.
is that a travis bean-ish copy ?

great to hear the tt can stand its ground when it comes to gigging too, great if you don't want to drag a 100 watts all toob monster to every single gig, i hate heavy gear (wish i would've known that before i started out as a bass player, haha)

Cheers.

It's a refin. The pickups are GFS and all the plastics are replacements. The quality of stock F300s is pretty bad, but it's a nice guitar now. The neck isn't hagstrom-skinny, but it was the only part of this guitar of good quality.
I wrote about it here:

The other one is an Electrical Guitar Co. custom. Deaddonkey hates it, but he's a smelly bumpkin who's afraid of industrialisation.

because it's ugly and is played by pretentious cockney noise rockers.

OMG. You want to be in my band so much it hurts.

laffz

I'd love to use one of dudes live in a fast-ass noisey rock band with no pedals. Mmmm, simplicity.

Nice one, Timmy!

fuck you.

booooob i hope you know i'm not a homofoob, impossible for me anyway

Tube amps next to radiators are never a good idea.

I don't know I've certainly seen homophobia in some LGBT groups I've been about. It might be taboo to call it that or something, but there certainly is something like it.

Anyway I thought you said homonoob ay first.

I'm going to play the next smallish gig we do with just the TT.

What is this crow thing like? I had a quick search and my first answer was "pricey".

It sounds like crows rattling. Apparently

Put me down for two.

i would build a nice headbox for it. i bet it sounds killer but it looks a bit like a toaster, doesn't it?
