Oooh fingers VERY crossed!! A bottle of chianti on the ready 😁

Yes, mine were meant to be next day and arriving on Friday 15th but still nothing. Checking the tracking details it says they are in Bergamo, Italy. I online chatted with an Amazon rep yesterday and was promised that I would be getting them. Maybe they are all being shipped from Italy?

No but I do have a Westbury guitar I bought many years ago. Same style headstock as your bass. All I know is it's a "Standard" and is a double cut. It's very adequate.. which is considerably above my playing level 😁

Lives in the county that sounds the same as his name methinks.

Thanks folks. Putting it over the guitar side causes it's own issues.. "there's too much bloody bass, I can't hear the guitar properly.." I think drummist is just trying to take over the stage. I think we'll just have to try and have to suggest it's not working for us, let him go hissy and then put the sub back out front. The IEM option for him could do the job.

Where, as a typical pub/club rock band would you place a sub? We do the typical pub/club gigs where we bring our own gear. We only have one sub (I forget the name and output but it's plenty adequate). The only person that uses it is the drummer for his kick drum. It used to be situated out at the front under one of the tops, but he has now taken to having it on the stage by him, typically on my side of the stage between my amp and him. I fully understand that sub bass is not particularly directional but I'm of the mind that it's muddying up my sound. I prefer a brighter clank than a wooly thump and I have noticed I am dialling back the bottom end now. I'm not sure if it's just me being a bit sulky though! Oh, drummer has admitted he likes it on stage as he can feel it and that's it. Any views?

What a dreadful oily turd he is, and the brass balls he must have to repeat his fraudulent activities over and over again and again, and then brazenly appearing on stage on a seemingly regularly basis too. A truly crooked individual to the core. He must have a lovely tapestry at home with all the stitch ups he's carried out.. I can only hope, when he does get his comeuppance (in what ever format that could be) that it is in the public forum and we can all rejoice together.

It's one of those songs that can really just seem to go on.. and on.. unless it's done with some passion and energy, which sadly that first version seemed to be lacking.

Yeah, that intro really grated with me.

That's pretty cold.

Uhmm.. not hers I guess.

Segue rather than mashup - We do The Kinks All Day & All Of The Night, that slides into You Really Got Me and is a bit Van Halenesque and then back into All Day. At the end of the night we do Nutbush that rolls into Whole Lotta Rosie and that always goes down well.

Well I play bass badly and guitar even badlier but I do like to mash out some chords every now and then. I have a Les Paul A Les Paul Jr copy A Westbury sort of SG a like And borrowing a Tele our guitarist made. They are all different and I like that.

Yes, Razzle. That's where it starts for me.

That'll be Nikki Suxx then, I mean it doesn't matter what order your strings are when you're miming..

All those down my way

Ooooh! Who??

Otoboke Beaver.. I'm not sure what I watched but I was transfixed!

It is an option but I was thinking of easy set up and lugging. I do have a 2x10 which works nicely with it so I'll likely stick with that as an option. Normally I run a 1x15 with the 2x10 on top and I do get on well with that. I did try the 8 ohm 4x10 on it's own at a gig this weekend and I had to push the output another 3 clicks round before I was happy(ish) but I do wonder if that may also be because I didn't have speakers closer to my ear level and so I wasn't directly hearing what I was expecting.

Thank you. It's a theoretical question that may lead to a purchase at some time, or maybe not. I was mulling over the idea of getting a 4ohm 4x10 to use instead of the 8ohm 4x10 I have. I was pondering if it would leave me a little more headroom and not be pushing the amp as hard.

Perfect. Thank you.

Sorry, yes solid state. Should I have included "heft" into all this? 😁

No, it's one or the other.

Thanks folks. It just helps clear a bit of brain fog!
