    It's not something to be spread around too much, but since you asked... Shh..! Not so loud..! Walls have ears..!

    Good afternoon, Bob , and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

    I abandoned long ago the idea that others might have the same standards as those I set myself, and am thus rarely disappointed, but on occasion pleasantly surprised. I'm more of a 'glass half full' mentality, generally.

    From the OP... "...it was okay to use it within the practice room if he wished, to save him lugging his own bass down..." (My Bold...) ... so he does have gear, but maybe less well adapted for the gig taken on. 'Snot much use being friends if one can't accept a bit of a hand now and again. If things were reversed, how many here would never consider asking a friend for the loan of something..? Seems an odd way of living to me, but 'To each his own', I suppose. I'm much less of a materialist, it would seem. It's only gear; friendships are of far more value, in my eyes, and couldn't be spoiled by a simple pecuniary loss. Still, whatever...

    It's difficult to get bad sounds out of a Hiwatt amp. Less is more...

    I'd lend 'em the gear and be glad for them for getting a gig. What's rankling with you here..? I can't see the problem. Am being too naive (hard to imagine ..!)..?

    Hmm...

    Yes it would, and no it wouldn't be. Your amp is rated for a maximum load ( so minimum ohmage...) of 4 ohms. Any less releases the Magic Smoke. Two 8 Ohm cabs, each plugged into one of those Speakon connectors, will be seen by the amp as a 4 Ohm load. That would be safe, but hard on the ears if abused, of course. Best to open any windows if cranking stuff like that, to avoid broken glass from the air pressure raised..!
  16. Dad3353
    The two speakons on your amp are already connected together. One 8 ohm load in each gives a 4 ohm load to the amp. It's exactly the same as if the two cabs were 'daisy-chained. (Incidentally, that's a 'parallel' connection, not 'series', as mentioned above...) Hope this helps.

    ... and that's the 'Smilies' updated, too (until the next forum upgrade ...!).

    ... and done (all except the 'Smilies'; I'll do them later, one by one...). Enjoy.

    Are headsets or earbuds not an option..?

    Didn't they feature in a TV series..? The Only Way Is SX..? ...

    An Australian, perhaps..?

    And I'm quite the opposite. By default, I'm wary of any gimmicks or dressing up. I'll overlook the first impression if the show really does stand on its musical feet, but I prefer by far sobriety and good ol', plain, honesty in being 'what you are'. I can get involved in a theatrical event, such as a play, where belief is suspended on my part, and a concert of the sort would be an exception for me. No, by default, I'm not a fan of glitter, glamour or glossing-over. As was once said by more famous than I: 'Shut up and play your guitar. '
