  1. much better performance this afternoon. My band are way more focused hung over than they are whizzed. Pub empty at first but ended up being offered regular work there on Sunday afternoons Which is just brilliant. Is whizzed really a swear word? Come on.
  2. Bet it sounded great over there too! More portable rig for this afternoons gig :
  3. played a club last night, the kind of place you'd not be surprised to discover was run by Brian Potter. Empty bar a handful of octogenarians tucked away in the far corner. BL was late, guitarist got pi§§ed and basically just shredded over everything and dep drummer got bored so used it as a chance to run through some Faith No More stuff. The shame of it is, on its day it's a great band. BL has a wonderful voice but drinks and smokes and puts it through a terrible PA. I get on really well with the drummer who also deps for me on bass so I can pursue my other musical ventures, but a band which is so laid back it is on the edge of disaster will never fulfill its potential Anyway I mustn't complain, they get me a lot of work and I love playing regardless.
  4. It was unbelievable. Kind of filled the room with bass without ever being too loud.
  5. Cheers man. I'd love to play some radical roots through this set up.
  6. If you could only see the tragically empty venue the other side of the camera
  7. Looking forward to hearing this
  8. Well, I was experiencing a nasty crackly noise and could not bias one of the valves. I wanted to know if I was doing any thing wrong with the biasing mainly. Good sense has since prevailed and our man @basstone has the amp on his repair shop. I didn't really want to dabble in there! He can explain what was wrong better than I can.
  9. Man I loved that tune, still do! As soon as the singer said This one for all the bouncers, I was bouncing ready for the off!
  10. I say I don't get nervous but there is a frisson if it's a band I've not played with before. Then the first song is the settler.
  11. Not these days, I don't get nervous at gigs, which is odd as I'm a very anxious guy the rest of the time. Back in the day it used to be Monkey Man (Specials version) I'd go somewhere else while leaping around playing that, and never really came back to earth!
  12. Not a problem for me, but yes a problem if you only have speakers which stack up to 2. 67 ohm.
  13. I have no argument with you Bill, I don't have the remotest scintilla of the necessary knowledge to debate with you. But I know on my budget I take no chances with an amp that just cost me more than i earn in a month to have serviced. So switch will be at 4 ohms and I will use two 8 ohm cabs.
  14. My amp tech just finished overhauling my SVT-CL and advised me to match the impedence exactly. 4 Ohms or 2 Ohms, switch set to whichever I'm using. They're delicate great lumps, best not messed with.
  15. Had an idle thought that two transmitters would be nice, one on the spare bass, quick change over that kind of thing. Was on Thomann anyway so looked them up. £144. I only paid £150 for the whole thing. That mean my wireless reciever is worth £6 new? Blimey. etc
  16. My thoughts too. Looks fun but ultimately a pointless toy for a millionaire playboy/girl
  17. Charge should be a good few hours but time will tell! Omnly problems i've encountered was when my keys player used one it interfered with my Line 6 wireless but I'm sure we could easily have changed channels. Ammoon is just another one of those cut price brands which are hard to fault. Enjoy!
  18. Anyone have any real world experience? These in particular.
  19. Forgot to mention hugely important feature the option to add an expression pedal and control the envelope manually. Anyhoo, I put a short demo together to quickly show the flexibility of the pedal. DI from my Trace head to the PC:
