    We've just had a few gigs for next year put in doubt because the landlord is reviewing the band policy due to 'some bands just not turning down'. If you can sort your guitarist out then you'll be doing all your local bands a favour. I must be lucky in that we all seem to understand that levels have to be set for balance and the venue. Don't think I'd hang around long in a band that didnt.

    Bought TPJ's R-400 earlier in the week. He very kindly brought it to rehearsals and waited whilst I tried it out. I was expecting to give it a proper going over for quite a while but after one song the rest of the band said 'go and give him the money and turn the bloody thing down!' That was though a single 8ohm cab. Won't get to try it at 4 ohms until the new year but very very good first impressions.

    NOW £500 [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]For sale, my Mesa Walkabout head sliver face model. These amps are very highly regarded with good reason. I moved to this from class D amps and immediately noticed that I had a 'bigger' (IMHO) sound even when running through one 8ohm cab. For me it's an ideal balance between weight and power/depth of sound. I'm only selling because I'm turning into a serial GAS addict and have just had the chance to buy something else that looks shiny. As usual I'll probably regret it.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]It's in good but used condition, works perfectly and sounds huge but has a few paintwork scrapes on the top rear edge. Comes with the Mesa amp bag too.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]The specs are (borrowed from WOT's recent ad):[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Wattage - 300 Watts @ 4 Ohms / 165 Watts @ 8 Ohms Power Amp Type - Simul-State™ Power - 6 Tube Driven Power MOSFET's Preamp - Vacuum Tube Preamp w/ 2x Mesa 12AX7 EQ / Dynamics Control - Active Bass & Treble, Passive Mid, Plus a 3-Band Semi-Parametric Weight - 13 Lbs. Dimensions - 3 1/2" x 12" x 12"[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]You're welcome to come and try in Sale, South Manchester. I can travel (within reason) to meet up. Although I'd prefer not to, I will post within the UK, but at extra cost and buyer's risk as this is a tube preamp head.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]No trades thanks.[/font][/color]

    Bought an amp from Tom yesterday. He travelled over to our rehearsal room and tactfully waited with a brew whilst I played about with it. Great comms and an all round top bloke, sorry we didn't have more time to chat.

    Does anyone know if a 5 string set is in the pipeline? My bass is due a string change and setup pretty soon and I fancy giving these a go.

    After freezing fog and playing to the (very appreciative) bar staff plus about 20 brave souls last weekend our last gig of 2016 was at the Steamhouse, Sale last night. Cool place with a dedicated downstairs cosy band room, big stage and power sockets aplenty. Lovely beer too and a mile from home, what's not to like? Place fluctuated between nicely busy and packed all night. Three setter with a 12:45 finish. Great reaction from the punters and loads of positive comments. We've worked hard on the set to keep people moving and singing and it paid dividends last night. Very happy with the sound and the interaction and 'show' aspect of the performance too. Our singer was out of action for about 6 months at the start of the year so we covered as a 3 piece but it's loads better with all four of us. Rig sounded ace, plus I was trying a wired Fischer Stick IEM to replace my broken LD MEI 100, which took a bit of adjusting to but was very good and will be even better when my OBBM dual cable arrives and I don't have to gaffa an XLR to my bass lead. Best bit, the stage 'diver' who turned out to be the drummer's wife tripping over the 2 inch step up to the stage and nearly taking out the guitarist's pedalboard! We've somehow managed to book up for next year already (easier then it sounds when you only do one gig month). Let's hope they're all like that one. Oh, and there was even room for the xmas tree

    Hmm, footloose is getting an outing this Saturday......

    Never had any wifi issues. I've been using it at fortnightly rehearsals and monthly gigs for most of this year. Tend to stick to a laptop for the interface though - don't do much with a phone or tablet as we're all on stage. Always carry an ethernet cable just in case but never had to use it.

    Umezushi - cracking Japanese/sushi just across the road hidden in some industrial units on Mirabel St. Tiny place, brilliant food but just got reviewed by the Guardian so it might be hard to get a table. Definitely try though.

    Very happy with the low B on mine. Can't compare it to very high end stuff but tension, tone and volume are the same as the other four. Sounds massive when I hit it too!

    If they are the ones from the p special you bought from me then they are 'proper' wizards ordered from the wizard himself.

    Yep. Pretty straightforward to get a decent mix straight out of the box but we had to do a bit of tweaking after that to get it where we wanted. Good if you want up to 3 separate monitor mixes, it's let me start using in ears properly. If I was buying again I'd probably go for the 16 for the extra monitor outputs. Overall though it's a great bit of kit.

    Norm just bought a bass from me. Lovely guy and a completely fuss free deal. Really knows his stuff. Get the feeling the bass is going to be played a lot better than it was with me too! Andy

    Cheers Tom, Missed that, I assume it is meant to be Gotoh as I've never heard of Gotah. Andy

    Played our annual halloween gig at the George Hotel in Orton (near Tebay) last night. Always fun as they put us up so we can have a drink and a leisurely pack away. It was the busiest night of the year according to the landlady. Our new run of 80s pop/cheese in the second set worked brilliantly and even my horrendous tache didn't put people off too much. It was a bugger to sing with though and ended up being held on with gaffa tape!
