Have a great gig tonight.

[/quote] Thanks. Very perceptive. I know for a fact that Nick Lowe was one of Micky's early influences. Interestingly my current band do "Cruel To Be Kind" and "Peace, Love and Understanding". Cracking bass line on the latter.

Here you are Nigel. My meagre submission recorded 10 years ago in Austin.

Nothing very technical or exciting but that's not my style. I reckon the bass drives the song along nicely with a nice bit of tension from the use of 3rds in the verses. Stingray 5 through a Sansamp straight into the desk. There's a bit of fret rattle as the actioned had changed following the transatlantic flight. When I was playing for Micky this was always a popular song - the alternative title is "Die You Bitch".

When I owned this cab I used an Orange AD200B which gave a great tone.

I know several owners like myself who are very happy with them and have no plans to move them on. Using a pair effectively gives me a 4x12 but much lighter and easier to move than a single cab. I'm quite small but can carry a 1212L single handed without any problem. The latest ones have two front facing drivers. I have the ones which have one front facing driver and one angled plus a horn.

Schroeder 1210L or 1212L, if you can find one. I use a single 1212L, sometimes two, and they are light, loud and cut right through the mix. That is all.

RIP Reg, you wild thing. 71 is no age at all these days.

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1360001762' post='1963350'] +1! I've waited and waited a LONG time to get the right neo 2x12 for me...this might be it. [/quote] That's what I'm hoping.

CN212 looks like my sort of cab.

[quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1359979927' post='1962754'] Its a really good design, it just doesn't fit a big neoprene strap that doesn't really fold: There is a pocket underneath the neck which is perfect for holding a lead / pics / earplugs etc, but my big chunky strap doesn't fit in it. The fit around the body of the bass is so snug that the strap doesn't fit there either. [/quote] I have the same type of Hiscox case. As well as the bass I keep a tuner and short cable in the pocket and fold my chunky Comfort Strapp around the headstock. Job done.

Mike bought an Orange pre-amp board from me. Very quick and smooth transaction.

Following our debut at The Barley Mow in Shepperton on the night the Olympics closed The Cry are back again on Saturday 2nd February. Be nice to catch up with any BCers from SW London who can come along.

Let's rejuvenate this thread and get it fired up again. This is a very worthy attempt to save this historic venue and features some great bands from SW Surrey/NE Hampshire. If I wasn't gigging myself I would be there.

Currently using Schroeder 1212L, either singly or as a pair. Also have a Schroeder 2x10 + 12 which I may sell or might just see if I can find another and use the pair. One day I'd like to try a BF S12 and a 69'er just to satisfy my curiosity.

It depends on whether your current amp allows you to mix the effects return into the signal chain or whether it just cuts it off.
