  1. [quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1336403864' post='1645091'] I've worked in shops, although not music shops, myself. In my experience, a large proportion of customers were rude, impolite, impatient, self-centred and think that shop staff are robotic pieces of sh1t for the customer's preferred and immediate use. I know other shop workers who have had the very same experience. [/quote] This. Almost drove me to suicide. Did drive me to a break down. Some people seem to use shopping as an opportunity to treat another human being like dirt for no particular reason. My particular shop was an extreme case having worked in others in the same chain and seen nothing approaching quite the immense level of extreme douchery that I was subjected to for eight years in my main branch. This meant by the end I was probably a disinterested, unwilling, grumpy sales assistant. Worn down and beaten by the vile treatment I was subjected to by the company and customers alike. I'd rather chew my own face off than work in retail again. I understand how frustrating and arrogant and superior some music shop assistants can be, I hate it, especially the patronising type. I guess I just have a healthy empathy for how they got that way.
  2. Hey all. I bought this for my 'guitar band' but because I also take the pa I've only managed to use it once!!! Yep. Once. It's left the house once, and been used once from new. Which was the day I got it. Since then it's sat unused in my bedroom. I fitted some castors and extra rubber feet on each end to facilitate using end on with a combo on top. The one time it left it picked up a couple of minor scuffs in the tolex from being in the car boot. I've tried to capture them on camera, Infact I've made them look worse lol. This cab is very well known among those in the know, simply because it has two celestion V30 drivers in Which are great sounding drivers. The whole thing has a cracking Marshall'y vibe. I have the name plate, but it actually wasn't attached from new. I guess they just knew they'd be debadged at once heh heh.

  3. Yeah. Gutted :-( wardrobe literally crumbled this morning and I've no other source of income at all
  4. Yeah. Poorly edited post lol, wasn't very clear!!! Don't want to part with it, but the furniture is falling apart so it's got to go :-( But really can't afford to post it insured, neck on I'm afraid. Or find time/packaging etc
  5. I was right at the back, very similar thoughts. Amazing brass but sometimes too prominent. At times the bass got quite wallowy and hard to hear any definition at the low end, and sometimes coulda come up if I'm honest! But most of the time it sounded great and much better in the flesh than on YouTube etc. great gig, thoroughly enjoyed it.
  6. I REALLY like the look of them! I started off with H||H back in the day.
  7. I'll be there from about 4:20 in the bar on the park
  8. Aw man. My first proper bass was a pearl white jbs. This is making me want another!
  9. Hah hah. Forgiven I'm just amazed it's not a thread full of people saying 'bandit' [quote name='leftybassman392' timestamp='1336158089' post='1642001'] Guilty as charged, and with due apologies and pleas of mitigation (see below), etc.! For the record I had actually read the thread (honest!) - I just forgot. You may care to think of it as a senior moment and take it upon yourself to be appropriately lenient when sentencing. [/quote]
  10. [quote name='leftybassman392' timestamp='1336113737' post='1640961'] I would endorse Skank's suggestion of Peavey Bandits. [/quote] Ahem. First reply y'know
  11. You see, the bandit will simply Never break. This problem solved
  12. I must admit. I've collected it since issue 1. As I did with bassist. And it saddens me to admit to myself that I think I've lost interest. I've also found increasingly little to interest me. Think okay knock it on the head. Might move on my back collection of both magazines too.
  13. I love it. Right up my street. If it had a maple neck both kids would be on eBay right now.
  14. hah hah if it happens i think id post in OFF TOPIC lol
  15. Is it me or does the right hand seem to be moving much faster than it should be for the amount of notes played?, is its youtube thing? Love the tune, and the bass, and the playing style. Quite like the outfit too. VERY tempted to put a video of me in youtube playing in my wifes clothes now lol
  16. Can't remember what I have and Havent posted so heres a bunch of stuff, just so I'm not just known as a crappy singer and crappy guitarist playing pop covers in dodgy pubs with a shaky rythm section.

  17. Have you had a go on a momark yet? I've found my tube 800 sounds much more like a 'proper' amp than any of the other lightweights I've owned/tried.
