[quote name='steve-soar' post='858421' date='Jun 5 2010, 07:38 PM']I gigged with a Combo 300 for a couple of years, it was great. Very loud, easy to get about and the Black Widow speaker was really punchy.[/quote] Me too. Pretty bomb proof, if a tad on the heavy side.

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='857979' date='Jun 5 2010, 09:38 AM']Had my moulds done at 'Specsavers' (don't laugh) 3 weeks ago, so they should be with me for next week. I went for 15's in the end as I'm not playing as loud as I used to and at the end of the day 15db reduction is preferable to no reduction and damage to my my ears (I have been using a type of preformed plug for about 8 years any way).[/quote] Got mine from "Specsavers" too a couple of months ago and I'm loving them. Great fit and they really do the job. Wish I'd done it years ago.

Every gig. Fact of life. Q.E.D.

Used a C.A.R. one for a few gigs a coiuple of years ago. Absolutely gorgeous instrument IMHO. Easily equalled a Fender "original" both in terms of build quality and playability.

Broke G D and A strings at the same gig which was, thankfully, several decades ago. Even so, it is etched upon my memory and I can remember it like it was yesterday. Horrible.

I for one have [url="http://www.hatsandcaps.co.uk/Jaxon-Western-Cowboy-Hat-P132000/"]this one[/url] to look forward to on my wedding anniversary in a couple of weeks.[/quote] Weee haaa!!

[quote name='renniks' post='856195' date='Jun 3 2010, 03:10 PM']I would love for hats to be in fashion for people my age without them trying too hard (which the case seems to be) Bad times [/quote] I know [i][b]exactly[/b][/i] what you mean. There's no justice .............................

[quote name='farmer61' post='856119' date='Jun 3 2010, 02:13 PM']I'm feeling your pain lol![/quote] Discount for bulk order do you think?

It might be an age thing, but since this link was posted, I'm having[i][b] real [/b][/i]difficulty dragging myself away from the site. I think it's only a matter of time before the order is placed.

[quote name='paul h' post='855841' date='Jun 3 2010, 11:01 AM']I admit to being a bit intrigued by this glove thing so I decided to do my own little sound test. Apparently my bass playing is completely shot and I can't play in time with or without gloves but have a listen any way. One half is played au naturel and the other wearing some woolly gloves from Next. See if you can tell which is which. [attachment=51287:glove_test.mp3][/quote] Bloody marvelous. Post of the year IMHO.

[quote name='chris_b' post='855206' date='Jun 2 2010, 06:46 PM']He's not coming over with the AMG this time. He's with a different drummer and a double bass player.[/quote] Yet [i][b]another [/b][/i]drummer eh?

Forgive me, but I keep finding these [i][b]storming[/b][/i] clips and I just [i][b]have[/b][/i] to share 'em!!

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='855061' date='Jun 2 2010, 04:29 PM']Great bass player. What's his name?[/quote] Cornell C. Williams No idea what his musical pedigree is.

And another:

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='855044' date='Jun 2 2010, 04:18 PM']Amazing! Our drummer told us about this guy years ago.[/quote] Apparently the band is known for getting through alot of drummers.

No further comment required!!

This should convert your .wav file into an .mp3. [url="http://download.cnet.com/WAV-to-MP3-Encoder/3000-2140_4-10060500.html"]Free wav to mp3 convertor[/url] Used it ages ago and, if memory serves, it worked fine.

This has sadly been the situation at Fibbers for at least 10 years that I know of. I played there on one occasion when none of the wedge monitors were functioning and their answer was to give us a discounted price for using the house PA and Engineer!!! So far as MFN is concerned, this venue too has been a joke for years. Sadly, it seems that being owned by the former drummer with Showaddywaddy does not necessarily guarantee a venue's success!! Tragically, I have had more than one converstion with him about the shortcomings of his "Sound Engineer" (who, I assume, must work for next to nothing) and he continues to deny that there is a problem, so it is apparently he that is right and everyone else wrong. I suppose the most amazing thing is that these venues can continue to exist, particularly when times are generally so tough throughout the industry.

Dodgy camera work and worse sound, but there you go: Lurking at the back as always,

Try flightcasewarehouse online. More bang for your buck IMHO and pretty bomb proof cases too.
