Yep they really put on a great show. One of my faves so far.

I liked some of it, and some parts were awful. I liked the fact that he didn't bring a band - he brought the club, his real show, to the field. That worked for me. Some of the material is very weak though. Still, a million times more enjoyable that Florence (for me). My faves so far have been Young Fathers, Vintage Trouble, and the Mothership.

That's mesmerising, lovely stuff.

Voted. Well done everyone.

Nice stuff Neil, the bass sounds lovely. Good song too.

With flats, the second 'last' flat in the key signature is always the major key. So with a key signature of B flat, E flat, A flat, D flat, the key is A flat major.

I thought the WF55 only had a volume know...have you modified it to add the tone control?

14/15. The social media icons covered the last chord in the cadence - didn't notice it!

Forgiven. I have 3 kids currently in the throws of exam fever - I recognise the symptoms.

[quote name='Jenny_Innie' timestamp='1433247975' post='2789319'] Please don't tell me you're thinking of going techno-babble with how that's an incorrect configuration. If so, then I'm not all ears. That's 2.66666667 (or so) of a load which my RH750 and RH450 can handle. Sounds spot on to me. [/quote] Ha ha no technobabble - I'm not qualified. I have 2 x 8ohm Compacts and the set-up you describe sounds worth investigating. I'm not particularly looking to change anything but you know how GAS gets hold of you...

Just out of interest, are you running (your perfect sound set, that is) a 4 ohm Retro 210 with an 8 ohm Compact?

That mounting system looks great. Who is the UK retailer?

Steve Gibson, mentioned above, drums in my band and is worth getting in touch with.

Excellent first gig for our new drummer last night in Harrogate. Tonight we're at Puzzle Hall Inn in Sowerby Bridge. Come along and say hello.

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1431028496' post='2767159'] They were all just one chap, [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._G._Thirlwell"]Mr. JG Thirlwell[/url]. Bloody used to love his stuff me. [/quote] Their/his 12" single of Ramrod is an absolute classic.

"How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore" was the B-side of something from 1999. Absolute classic IMO.

Now then. My little blues/soul combo is playing at the rather wonderful Blues Bar in Harrogate next Friday, 8th May. Come along, wallow in some Barefaced bass bluesiness, and say hello. Martin

I went from a 700 15 combo to an MB Fusion with Barefaced Compacts - fantastic sound and, as you say, the amp sounds very similar, just as powerful, and is so much more convenient.

I have a friend who is an opera singer who does around 3 hours vocal warm-up before a performance.

Good luck with this, although it is a long shot. I had my first Rickenbacker guitar stolen many years ago and have sometimes wondered if it would be possible to track it down. Like the OP it was financed by my Mum, now passed away. The thing with this one is that there was some suspicion at the time as to who stole it ( a singer in a NZ touring band), the police investigated it to no avail, and then (I understand) he confessed to it many years later in an interview. It would be interesting to try and trace it, but wouldn't expect to get it back if it been sold to someone else in good faith.

Yes, it's right up there (if that's the right term) with Billy Holiday's "Strange Fruit" for serious, serious issues in music.

I was recently asked to "socialise" an idea for a project.
