That is a real shame, and there was a time when Paul hung out here every so often. I remember the time someone reviewed Guthrie's CD before it came out.. that was really funny.
I think it's great that people feel so much a part of Cornford, I guess the down-side of that emotional investment is a heightened awareness of the bad things as well - seeking reassurance or expressing disapproval.
I've been trying to find insight into the current issue on the net (as a prospective buyer) but no joy. Hopefully you'll get some answers soon and Papa Cornford has just been busy doing cool things for you all _________________ Fabulous powers were revealed to me the day I held my magic Suhr(d) aloft and said "by the power of great scale!"
I have the power! |

I use a Suhr Modern and a Pro series S3 with a MK50 and they are so well matched. Cleans are fantastic by turning down the guitars volume and the gain is to die for, very full and rounded and meaty.
Folk reckon the MK50 II is even better |

The MK50 has been very reliable so far, been gigging it twice a week for a few months now and it sounds way better than the Splawn QuickRod I was using. Tone to die for and simple to set up and use.
Would love a GG Modern ..... dunno hat they run at in the UK but that would be my next Suhr for sure |

where do people get this idea that 35 watts isntloud and 50watts will kill you...
its stupid!
you wont ever use the mk on 10!
lets put it like this, my hellcat through a 1x12 on 4 hurts.....
if its power you want why not get the marshal mode 4? 350 watts enough
35 would KILL an gig situation easily
powerfull enough to fill a small venue that doesnt mic the amps...and for venues that do....well let the pa do the work |
