It depends on the gig. I've always had my kit PAT tested as a matter of course (simply because my mate's a spark, and he'll do it or me), and most venues aren't that arsed. Larger halls and holiday camps tend to be a bit more interested in it, but I've never had to show any certification to anybody. If anybody's been round counting my stickers whilst it's not being used then they've not told me. If the worst should happen and someone gets injured because of my kit then the fact that it complies with current recommendations reduces the "contributory negligence" arguments, should it ever get to court.

It's a beauty!

Plus, you can combine your meatspace trash basket with your virtual one.

Jesus! What sort of gigs do these guys get? Orange marches? Basra? Syria? That's FUGLY.

Metal's not popular round here - the missus keeps turning it off.

I've never had a stock P or J bass, they've always had active tomfoolery or similar. I suppose it's just part of 'my sound'. They tend to be 'set and forget' though.

I've used Windows and Apple machines for music production for years. Imy experience. A Mac will do exactly the same as a Pc and vice versa. The Mac will do it in a fraction of the time though, as you don't need to allow for reinstalling drivers or removing and refitting and reconfiguring hardware etc... I seem to remember doing this A LOT on Windows machines.

Nah, [URL=http://s1221.photobucket.com/user/paul_510/media/wpa1b6dffc_0f_zpsdb8bd222.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd471/paul_510/wpa1b6dffc_0f_zpsdb8bd222.jpg[/IMG][/URL] http://www.davehallamps.co.uk/page37.html THAT'S a preamp pedal...

First thing that came to mind was one of these: http://www.sourceaudio.net/products/toolblox/programmable_eq.php it all depends on your budget though.

Yup. Toilet seat with strings... for "flossing", presumably.

Well, it beats dogging in ASDA car parks I suppose.

Baby steps Sam, baby steps...

I had this tendonitis in my left wrist a few years ago and still get it flaring up from time to time, so you have my deepest sympathies. Voltarol Emugel seems to help - don't know if you've tried that or not. Ultimately the best thing I found for it was acupuncture. I had to pay privately for the physio to stick needles in my arm but it seemed to sort me right out.

Got a passive "Bitsa" P Bass that's got a pretty low action if you'd like? The neck is slimmer than a normal P too, so that should help.

That chap's got no arse in his trousers!

[quote name='tommania' timestamp='1376940076' post='2181294'] I've heard that a 4x10 and a 1x15 isn't a very good pairing, could you explain why not? [/quote] Some people would try to dissuade you from running a fifteen and a four by ten, probably because of the dispersion of the cones, but don't worry about it - nothing will blow up. Try it mate; if it sounds right, then it IS right. Don't get hung up on the physics of amps and speakers and enjoy playing, after all, that's why you started playing, right?

The ashdown website states that the speaker on your combo is 8Ω, so the short answer is yes, you can use both cabs with your Peavey head. Running two 8Ω cabs (one from each speaker out) will provide a 4Ω load on the head, so you'll get all 450W from your head. (2 speaker in parallel uses the formula R1 x R2 /R1 + R2 - where R is the resistance/impedance of each speaker. In this instance the numbers are 8 x 8 divided by 8 + 8, which gives you 4Ω). Congratulations on your new freebie - looks like a nice bit of kit.

certainly, it's a 9v OPAMP buffer (so it'll use the same supply as your board) and has an inout socket and an output socket. That's it really. Aside from lowering the output impedance so that active basses play better with older FX. I use one in front of my OC2 clone just because it seemed easier than trying to mod the OC2 board to accept a higher impedance input...

OR I could do you a little buffer to sit on your board to drop the impedance before your signal enters the fuzz...

£799 for something that might not even exist? Where do I sign?

[quote name='bertbass' timestamp='1376673066' post='2177876'] If the amp isn't too precious to you I'd force a bit of PVA wood glue into the joint using a syringe and screw through from the outside using screw cups. The screw cups would make the repair look like it was meant to be like that. [/quote] This. For the sake of a couple of quid's worth of stuff it's worth a punt innit?
