(No) new amp on the way, apologies to MJW... (pants!!!)
« on: May 22, 2010, 04:54:08 PM »
...as it's not one of his   :oops:

I've been curious about Bogners for a while, and love the tones Hunter has got out of his Shiva and 100B.  Pending a trade deal on my PRS McCarty Korina, I should be picking up a mint condition 101B with all the toys in the near future.

You only live once, and you gotta try these things out haven't you?

Nice stuff Dave! Hope you get lots of use out of it!
I think I hate being indecisive.

Cheers Ian - that's the plan  :)  My MJWs are awesome for my vintage-y needs, but a big part of my heart goes out to 80s hair rock and some of the more modern gainy tones.  It may simplify my live rig a bit if I can get all my existing gain tones (and more) directly from the amp.

We'll see I guess!

It's not gone yet Philly!

Martin does know, yep.  Spoke to him about it at our gig last night  :)  I think he's curious to hear how it sounds and to have a poke around its insides....

Don't you mean you asked him for permission?  :P  :lol:

I think you have enough MJW's now not to worry about buying at least 1 non-MJW.  And it's good you're leaving some of Martin's resources for the rest of us :D

Looking forward to the review and some clips.  

That's a lot of knobs though!

Awesome head. Very impressive, nice catch.

You know the Shiva sounds nothing like the Ecstasy, right?

Yep!  I'd love to try a Shiva one day, but I already have something similar (my MJW Orion).  I'm after the Ecstasy for a more modern tone, and all the option buttons/footswitches etc  :)

Very nice Dave! That's the only other amp I really wanted if I didn't have the MK50. I know it's quite odd as the MK50 is quite barebones and the XTC has loads of options.... total opposites if you like. But, I was really worried about service and back up over here due to the complicated nature of those beasts! You'll be ok as you have your own private tech!  :lol:
