Total Watts

  1. There are a lot of options for 4 Ohm 2x12. A lot of 12" drivers seem to be only availble in 8 Ohm ratings, and the options for wiring them together are limited. I have an EBS Neo 2x12 . It's a great sounding cab and very sensitive - quoted as 103dB. I used it with an LM2 for a while and it was a great combination. When I got it it was unfeasibly light at 24 Kg. Time has moved on so I guess it's no longer a true lightweight but I can still lift it with one hand.
  2. How well does it work with fretless bass guitar? Maybe you don't need the electric upright after all 🙂
  3. I think it looks great and I love the finish. The secret with Schaller strap locks is not to put them on the strap. Just put the strap on the pin, then fit the straplock on top of it.
  4. Ah, I see. The 410TVX is a decent sounding cab, which are cheap because they are heavy. You will need a separate head for it. You might be better to hold on for a used combo - the Fender Rumble range for example, there are plenty about in sizes from 40W up to 500W, any of which would be an improvement on your Ampeg.
  5. There is no speaker out or extension so no you can't just plug it into another cabinet. You could take the line out and plug it into another combo or head/cab setup, but really what would be the point - A BA 108 is a bedroom practice amp at best.
  6. Irish bouzouki has a longer scale length, not quite as long as an actual Greek bouzouki but a serious stretch for GDAE particularly if you are attempting to use violin fingering, rather than Irish tenor banjo style (use the pinky on the 5th fret and slide up to the 7th). I'd say if you want to play melodies and use GDAE then an octave mandolin would be a good choice. If you are more focussed on accompaniment and GDAD then a bouzouki scale length allows you lighter strings which ning out more. Ashbury stuff is pretty good at entry level. Very similar to Ozark.
  7. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  8. For several years, until Covid and lockdowns intervened, I was fortunate to play in a band called Waxies Dargle, which played the music of The Pogues. To mark Shane's passing, we've decided to come out of retirement to play a one-off concert to celebrate Shane's life and all the great music that he and the Pogues made, and raise some money for Encephalitis International. Saturday 23rd March 2024 at 7.30 pm, St Stephens Church, St Stephens Lane, Ipswich IP1 1DP . There is a Facebook site for the event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1599309527553931?active_tab=about Tickets are available here: https://app.etickets.to/buy/?e=19483
  9. My least favourite was the Royal Horseguards Hotel in Whitehall Place. We played at a private party there once on the second floor. Stunning views of the Millenium Wheel. But load-in was down a flight of steps in the street, through a couple of passage ways, through the kitchen (currently engaged in providing dinner service for about 200 guests), round some more passages, into a crappy goods lift, and then another set of passages on the 2nd floor. Loading out was much easier, down two flights of stairs in the adjoining Liberal Club (talk about seedy opulence) and out the main entrance. Parking was less of a challenge than you might expect - the drummer ran a parking business and had the keys to a nearby underground carpark.
  10. My BBNE2 isn't getting a lot of use, and hasn't since my last pop band took a one-year sabbatical in 2016. It's all double bass for me too at the moment.
  11. Smoothhound PSU is 9V centre positive so you'd need a polarity adaptor. I have a Nordell Audio unit which is really great, it's isolated and totally silent, but only has one 500ma output.
  12. Diego pedalboards have carpet so you need hooks on your pedals if you use one of them.
  13. I haven't bought anything for a while, but I think Paypal have now introduced another step, which requires the seller to enter a code when the item is collected, thereby nullifying point (3) .
