[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1433585818' post='2792274'] I was meant to play it again at a festival today but the weather is being a dick [/quote] [Img]http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg580/christopher_brown14/download_zpsw5op5kul.jpg" class="ipsImage" />

My sister did a video of a family gathering to the background music Sister Sledge's We are Family. It took such a drastic change in pitch before YT would accept it, that it sounds like men singing :-D

Love that

This!! http://basschat.co.uk/topic/257114-fsfd-warwick-streamer-std-in-blue-final-price-drop-l330/

Really nice. The black hardware looks particularly nice. Is the body a bit more 'offset' than the P? I like it

That looks gorgeous! You must be over the moon. And with such a great delivery time and price too. I've got Häussel pups in a W&T bass and I can't say enough good things about the tone. Looking forward to hearing the sound-clips

You're not pressing hard enough. The harder you press the longer the sustain. Maybe.

Of course it's the long-awaited and much anticipated Mar oosh check! Can't wait to see it

[quote name='SubsonicSimpleton' timestamp='1433337066' post='2790191'] Well it should be safe if he's guarding it at gunpoint, but couldn't help wondering WTF sort of office lets you keep rifles on the desk [/quote] Haha. Just an air rifle stock being repaired. There is an eight ft boa constrictor in the viv on the opposite wall!

I'm in a similar position; my package was sent to my work but I'm at home today. Colleague sent a teaser pic.. It's not a Godin btw [Img]http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg580/christopher_brown14/received_10153379227857720_zpsvu27pabv.jpeg" class="ipsImage" />

[quote name='Bassman Steve' timestamp='1433323576' post='2790028'] I think the key strokes for that accent are 'smart@rse'. :-) [/quote] My main intentions were to add a bit of helpfulness and humour (maybe with a tiny bit of smart@rse thrown in) but I'm sensing that your responses are getting a bit defensive/snippy. I didn't mean to embarrass you or rub you up the wrong way, so apologies if that was the case.

[quote name='Bassman Steve' timestamp='1433322764' post='2790013'] I don't want to appear pedantic but is your use of capital letters for grill and grille correct in the message above? [/quote] :-D I'd respond 'touche' if I could find the appropriate accent on my phone. Actually, erm, that's the modern way to quote things in the UK.

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1433321196' post='2789989'] Grille is the old spelling. Grill is the modern spelling. In British English 'grill' is the dominant form. In US English 'grille' is still the accepted form. I'm British and so are our cabs! GRILL. [/quote] Haha. I did check a couple of online dictionaries before posting. Maybe they were old school American dictionaries Edit: further research all points to Grill relating to cooking/questioning, and Grille relating to the screen. Anyway, always keen to learn, but not keen to continue the thread derailment. We can swap links via PM if you like to try and get to the truth :-)

[quote name='Bassman Steve' timestamp='1433320782' post='2789980'] I know, I wanted a Compact with a microwave on top. What did you think I meant? [/quote] I once had a Trace Twin Valve amp which looked just like (and got as hot as) a Dualit toaster

Sounds like a result. Just on a pedantic note, this is a grill: [Img]http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg580/christopher_brown14/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-06/zoom_Tecnoinox_Exploit_QSEF2_electric_salamander_grill_zpsuq9vvlwe.jpg" class="ipsImage" /> This is a grille: [Img]http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg580/christopher_brown14/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-06/LRgrid0001_zpspzavsyoi.jpg" class="ipsImage" /> ☺

Gone now. Thanks to all who enquired.

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1433256621' post='2789471'] I too would like to ask here if I may. If the OP's amp power is greater than that of the cabs, is there any danger that the amp, if on full volume, could cause damage to the speakers? Also does this situation get better/worse if only 1 cab is connected? [/quote] I don't think that it's as straightforward as matching up the numbers on the amps and cabs. That amp is actually 300w RMS and 500 peak. Even then, the 300w RMS can't be directly compared to the wattage limit on the cabs, as they are thermal limits, rather than RMS. Basically that pairing should be fine, but as with all pairings, it's best to use ones ears to listen out for warning signs (speaker distortion), rather than just trusting numbers. Regarding the difference when only connecting one cab, as Dad says above there will be fewer watts to handle with a single eight ohm cab, but it's still best to listen out to make sure the driver isn't being stressed out too much.

That amp will happily power either one or both of those cabs ☺

[quote name='Dave_the_bass' timestamp='1433007636' post='2787021'] That appeals to me on so many levels. Absolutely love the tune and video. Great work. [/quote] Nice one Dave - thanks very much! The chorus parts were shot in my workshop - very strange miming the song over and over with several bemused men peeking in the door

I like that. Nice dynamics - very Zepplinesque. Well shot video too. Great stuff

Here's some detail for the Bob Marley gig on Saturday: http://www.nusic.org.uk/wordpress/top-3-gigs-week-beginning-1st-june-2015/ We are Nottingham's answer to the Specials, apparently!

Sounds to me like it's a no brainer - if your favourite sound was the 210 plus compact, and that was loud enough, then ditch one of the 210s. Actually, sell one 210 and the compact, then buy a Gen3 compact with silver cloth grille - smaller and better and looks the part. Believe me, those Gen3 12" drivers go very, very low.
