  1. Any amp will only deliver its maximum wattage if driven at maximum volume with maximum signal. Do you often play 'full tilt' all the time..? If so, maybe it's not the rig for you. An amp delivering 130 watts into a speaker able to take 125 watts may not sound very good, either. The watts themselves are irrelevant, really; the sound of a speaker 'suffering' would normally be enough to suggest desisting. I'd say plug it in and listen; you'll soon know if it's compatible or not, and before any real damage is done. The specifications are one thing; listening is another, and is a much better test. Just my tuppence-worth; hope it helps.
  2. That looks to be simple enough to make, custom fitted, for one's bass; it could even be made to fold up for transport with a few hinges or the like. A project there for someone..?
  3. Interesting enough as a concept; I tried to get the 'workbook download' offer to work, but it just hung, 'Submitting'. Never mind...
  4. Good evening, Knirirr, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.
  5. So is 'perambulator'. (... and have you been peeking through the chink in our curtains again..? You know what the judge said last time ...)
  6. Fail..! Fingers too wide, or what..? Boogie-woogie meets ragtime meets wandering scales in any ol' key; sounds like he's having a laff, or too stoned to care. I lasted 3:22, as I'm of a generous nature. Fail.
  7. Ah, that's better..! You see, you can if you try hard enough..!
  8. My personal view (and so not necessarily that of the Mods nor Admins...) is that there is enough diversity and richness in language (English and others...) to allow one's feelings, however strong, to be adequately expressed without resorting to vulgarity. Use, or worse still, over-use, of bad language diminishes my opinion of the author (that this matters little to them I'm quite aware, but still...). There are perhaps occasions when comic effect could, maybe, justify writing in that manner, but they are, I reckon, rather rare, and all the more effective by being so. It will be understood, then, that I am for keeping the profanity filter, hoping that it never need be invoked.
  9. Now really, there's no call for language like that..! Please moderate your posting.

  11. I've a list of 'members' that would, in my opinion, deserve the epithet.
  12. A folding four-panel screen/room divider, cunningly papered over on one side with a full-sized photo of the hallway wall. Open it up around the junk PA stacked up there and it'll all 'disappear'; she'll be none the wiser. Either that or a Harry Potter cloak.
  13. How about 'phoning a bloke I know that does ... Oh, sorry; no, forget it. ...
  14. And my lists..? What would happen to my lists..?
  15. Shouldn't someone tell 'em that it's over, and that we won..?
  16. It's all a bit self-defeating in the end. When (not 'if', but 'when'...) 'marmalade sandwich' starts being used as a genuine insult, I'll have to invent another euphemism for the filter to use. I'm compiling a list of 'soft' words to be called up in such circumstances, listed (yes, I'm sad like that...) in alphabetical order. My current favourite for replacing the above example is 'robin', which, of course, will itself have to be replaced once it, in turn, becomes adopted as an uttered profanity. Eventually the wheel will turn full circle and we'll have to recycle 'old' terms, and 'sn0wfl@ke' will again be preferred to whatever nasty word is current in the future. Such is life. Sigh... ...
  17. If it's anything like the clips on t'Tube, they're Good Stuff. I, too, would like to reduce your stocks, if you'd like to quote me for expedition to France, please..? Maybe we should start a whole 'Unsung Unsold Heroes' thread, for liquidating stuff like this..?
  18. And the winner is... Mornats..! Here, then, is your Winner's Certificate (download and save as pdf file, then proudly print and frame...) ... BC_Chal_Cert_2018_05.pdf ... which looks like this (but bigger, of course..!)...
  19. A major reason for his marching home..?
  20. Ah..! An opportunity to share this; we had it in our repertoire for a while. Much brilliance; listen to those pattering drums.
  21. Ironic.
  22. Good evening, Dingers, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. 'Lo from the Lowlands.
