OK y’all.
At some expense, I’ve fitted the kit to give an “electro-acoustic” option to my fretless Jazz Bass. Playing through a WEM Dominator Bass MkI, the valves warm things up a bit too much and the acoustic side might be better off through solid-state (never thought I’d say that). Still, it’s quite impressive in the flesh and better sounding than my “real” (but cheap) EAB plugged in.

Here’s something I wasn’t expecting. You know LCD Soundsystem‘s “Daft Punk is Playing at My House”?
