I just got that Alter Ego X4 on TM recently...damn that’s a fine sounding delay. Bit bitchy to use but the tones make up for it.
In the mail - Trinity TC15 kit. Vox and Matchless goodness with a more chewey original AC tone (Modern ACs and clones can sound thin, brittle and fizzy at times).
Intersting! Nice looking kit.
Making your own cab?

You can build amps as well?!!!!
I bought an Alter Ego from Phil. There's a Flashback on my board but the Alter Ego was more weirdness than I knew what to do with. Excellent sounds!
But soooo weird.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
Upgrade pickups for the Starcaster, looked at the Creamery, Lollars etc but they were way too expensive, so went for Mojotone, hopefully these will do the job.

There was on for sale on the forum recently if I recall correctly.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

They really nailed the binson echorec model on the alter ego, still miss my one...

I’ve not used echo so much...very musical, inspiring delay.

I purchased/built the TC15 chassis in August 2019. Not cheap especially with freight. What did the kit cost you in $NZ (if not a rude Q)?
Finally found a reasonably priced stereo amp to replace my busted old Sansui. Bought and paid on Fri, TM seller didn't make contact until I followed up on Tue: "it'll be sent today". Got a tracking number the next day but here I am 2 days after that with the number still not scanned. Hard to tell if it's Aramex or the seller being useless, maybe both.

I just wanna listen to my goddamn records!
He could've booked it and done fuck all about getting it collected. Some sellers are useless.

Yep sure enough after emailing him today, with no reply, it got scanned this afternoon.
