  1. More often than not it's the distributors of the 'big companies' (Fender, Gibson etc…) who want a wedge of cash up front, then dictate what stock a particular shop can sell. Small and Medium sized independent music shops often don't have the capital to 'invest' in becoming a dealer, particularly when you get no say over which models you sell…
  2. My current head (SWR SM400) has a 'Bass' control (preset to 30Hz) and I tend to roll it back from noon (no cut or boost) to roughly 8 or 9 o'clock.
  3. Kylie Mingoue's "Hand On Your Heart" has been officially licensed by the NHS, and will be played non-stop during every Immediate Life Support training session for the next 3 years. After that it's back to the Black Eyed Peas' "Pump it".
  4. You should make a dinky 1x10" and call it the 'Barefaced Chic'. Thank you, I'm here all week...
  5. Glad to have you on board, there's loads of advice and tips on here. Some of it's actually quite useful!
  6. I was really happy with my kit, but my good lady wife wanted me to get a smaller rig - Barefaced here I come...
  7. Congratulation sir, well done. Also, kudos to Alex for giving it away.
  8. Looks like genuine rosewood, not sure about the bass though...
  9. That album is pretty much MegaDave's highpoint, very similar to 'BloodSugarSexMagic' By the Chillis. The remaster is a complete hash, as is the remaster of the album which followed it 'Countdown To Extinction'.
  10. [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1431631038' post='2773486'] Great amps, superbly made with top spec components. The proof is in the fact that these amps can run so hot without fans, IMO. You'll pay a LOT of money to get that in an amp these days.. I reckon Just a plug as I have one and I doubt I'll sell it. [/quote] I know. It's a brilliant bit of kit, but I need to downsize, and it's capable of so much more than I use it for. Essentially it's getting used as a power amp (EQ flat and bass and treble at noon), as most of 'my sound' comes from the DHA VT1 EQ. Needs must unfortunately.
  11. I posted a thread on it a while ago when I first did the mod... http://basschat.co.uk/topic/236320-swr-mod-completed-nice/
  12. Quite possibly.To be honest, the EQ is so flexible it's easy to dial the scoop back in if I need it. Most of the time I don't though.
  13. Mach 8.5 should see you safely away in time... [URL=http://s1221.photobucket.com/user/paul_510/media/rocket%20sled_zpsccwmfahp.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd471/paul_510/rocket%20sled_zpsccwmfahp.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
  14. [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1431535713' post='2772361'] Lavalier mic at 15 kms, too..! [/quote] on the back of a moving vehicle...
  15. Not even Jimmy Page's guitar, just [i]signed[/i] by him. Sheesh!
  16. [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1431528953' post='2772273'] Surely they'll not be micing this up for FOH..? [/quote] Shotgun Mike at 400 yards should do it…
  17. [quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1431470570' post='2771798'] Anyone using "plays like butter" to mean "plays smoothly" has obviously never tried to spread cold butter. [/quote] This. The single, most frustrating thing about modern life. Well, that and a lack of Proportional Representation...
  18. [quote name='RickyV' timestamp='1431366460' post='2770562'] Same with mine, must be normal with a VVT set up. Just whack them both up full. Works for me. [/quote] THis, except I've bypassed the Tone pot, as it was always ever 'whacked up' too...
  19. Sad news. I still play Dancing Queen, but not with the rest of the band. Love his lines on the ABBA stuff.
  20. Double double necks, does that mean they're doing 'Xanadu'?
  21. I nominate "Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Titch". That's not a band name, it's a register!
