Totally off topic, but I'm desperately in need of a dep for a lot of my band's gigs, possibly all the gigs till Christmas. The band is Yeovil based Microlight, and I'll probably be overseas for an unpredictable amount of time, so our strategy will be to have someone to cover all gigs even if I become available, to bring a bit of fairness to the dep. It's mostly pub gigs and a couple of private functions. The dates are 20th/27th Nov and 3rd/10th/11th Dec. Even if you're only partially available send me a message!

Hi Norm! Luckily these are one day only! Feeling fabulous now! And also jealous of all you chaps, after seeing the photos from the bash! Can't wait for next year's... I may put the event in my calendar on the wrong day to fool next year's migraine... 🙃

With all the days left in the year to wake up with a migraine it would have to be on the bass bash... Sorry chaps, I need dark and quiet today, all the opposite of a bass bash... 😔 Hope you all have a great event!

Now I'm starving! 😜

On the list, still coming, and really looking forward to it! 😁

That's just being selfish! Spare one?... 😁

Let me know under what rock you've found one, Mike! We've been struggling for nearly 3 years now, with deps, drummers that join the band and end up not up to it, drummers that don't have the time to practice/gig, ads everywhere... Good drummers are hard to find!

Great idea, Mike! No. 9 Paulo Oliveira

Seems a plan!

It is the half term week, so I may be away. But if not it's already in my diary!

In my calendar!! Thanks Mike!! And stay safe everyone!

Heart says "let's do it". But mind says postpone. And mind has to win in this case, as I may be alright if I catch it, but others may have serious complications if I pass it to them. I'm happy to pay now whatever needs to, and we'll keep in touch here as to when it's safer to meet.

How do I manage to keep missing these posts up until just some weeks left to the meeting?! Glad I always book it in the calendar 1 year in advance!! 😃 I'll be there of course (Corona allowing for it)! @scrumpymike can I please have the payment details? I'll bring: Basses: Fender Elite Jazz, Status Empathy 5 and PRS SE Kestrel Combos Markbass CMD 151P, SWR LA15, GK MB112-ii and GK MB212-ii (the last three are for sale so they may be missing from the bash). And yeah, I'm fighting the combo addiction... Helix LT & IEMs See you all there!

These transistors blew up.

For what I've been told by the tech guy (it's at a repair shop in Taunton), he didn't connected everything back into the amp. He powered it "outside" the amp.

Update: bought one from China, via eBay. It simply blew up when powered. Returning it at the moment. I've also been chatting with @Chienmortbb, who has been very useful! I've even suggested a Chinese ICE blind test at the next SW Bash... To see which one would blow up first!😁

Ah ok. Thanks. Didn't know that!

Hi all! I have a GK MB212-II that needs the power module replacement. The part number is ICE125ASX2. I can only seem to find suppliers from China or USA. Can anyone recommend a UK/European supplier/distributor to get one of those, without the weeks waiting or possible import tax fees? Thank you!

And it's really light! I think it'll be a winner!
