[quote name='speshul91' timestamp='1427297632' post='2728531'] I might have to try and come along and bring my 4 string and my 5 when I get it if I could get a lift from Nottingham [/quote] I should have room, although as co-organiser I'll be going earlier to set up and staying later to tidy up. If you can get to Bulwell, then the offer is there, just send a PM

Playing tomorrow night at JT Soar. Lots of punk and ska and us. Pay what you like, BYOB proceeds to charity.

Another great deal with Grahame, this time I bought his Crest power amp. There was an issue which was neither party's fault, but it was dealt with quickly, smoothly and with integrity. I'd happily deal with him again

Brilliant band. I used to be in a jazz/funk band up York way and we did a lot of stuff in Leeds, so played with them once or twice, and saw them many times there, and once at The Jazz Cafe. Always a really enjoyable gig

Doesn't the Genz have a HPF built in (defeatable by the deep switch)? I remember our Shep once trying a Microthumpinator with a Streamliner and there being no difference, only to do some research and discover that the Streamliner and Shuttle heads already have one built in! I can't remember the cutoff frequency, but I think it was higher on the .0 series, then lowered to something like 30Hz for the .2 series.

Yes, you're on the right track - get LONG rawl plugs and matching screws, and as long as you are well into the brick, no batons are necessary.

I loved the looper last time! Looking forward to it :-)

I've tried quite a few amps recently, and of the lightweight ones, there were two that I really liked - it was only later on that I discovered that they were actually class a/b, while the rest were class D. Last night I brought my big iron power amp instead of the class a/b, and the difference was unmistakable; it just has so much authority to the tone.

The majority of my practice is unplugged. It's easily loud enough to hear on my own and just about loud enough over quiet music. My bass has a chambered body, so suspect that helps with resonance/volume(?)

I've just gone back to heavy too. It's the gravitational pull of that massive transformer

[quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1402586763' post='2475063'] A picture paints a thousand words .... [url=http://www.ephotobay.com/share/-57-10.html][/url] The bass with this monstrosity is on sale for a mere £700 on the bay. I think there's going to be a bidding war. [/quote] What's with the jigsaw :-D

Nice shot from last Friday's excellent Phlexx night at The Maze, Nottingham

I agree that what try go for is not 'hugely inflated' Two years ago, they went for around £500 used, but then when the retailers dropped the Genz prices after production stopped, the used price dropped to around £400, and have stayed there ever since.

OK, next up is a gig at The Shed in Leicester on Tuesday 24th March. Smokin’ Durry’s, TinnedFruit, UJahm, Falling Lights, Bruja, Trees and Queens 7:30 pm, £5 on the door.

[/quote] [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1426092275' post='2714296']Not sure I would want to play a gig there [/quote] Wow, I'm intreagued now! Here's the poster: No worries re. message BRX, I'd forgotten I'd sent it! If anything springs to mind that would be great.

Cool. Hope you are just as happy when pairing the amp with the 2x10 :-)
