[quote name='MB1' timestamp='1330527934' post='1558885'] MB1. Just PMd Mani about George Formby and as yet have not recieved a reply? [/quote] I just PM's George Formby about Bilbo and have not had a reply back either

I must be getting old as I have not seen one cool bass yet in this thread lol

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1330518596' post='1558659'] LOOOOL! Didn't notice that when I joined. Might be because I'm no longer 14 myself? [/quote] What about the virgin part?

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1330523775' post='1558798'] Tossers [/quote] HAHAHA genuine laugh out loud response

[quote name='buff' timestamp='1330520366' post='1558711'] I'd pee myself if it's really Adam Clayton [/quote] No thats me, I am Adam Clayton

When's Tal turning up? I refuse to get excited until Tal joins Basschat

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1330512025' post='1558481'] Does he play in a tribute band? [/quote] I'm not sure but I do believe he invented Jazz

HAHAHA Bilbo you star, you posted exactly the same time as me. Check out my last sentence

I also hope that Mani is welcomed here as a fellow bassist and does not get a hard time from star-struck people. I've seen it on Pistonheads with real racing drivers getting hassled and insulted and they eventually leave. Fingers crossed it stays civil. I must admit, I can't wait for some of the Bilbo and Mani discussions. That could get entertaining

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1330511028' post='1558455'] do you get to play with your longboat in the bath [/quote] No thats my wife's job

[quote name='jcater' timestamp='1330509198' post='1558408'] All this talk of Vikings I guess that you guys will all be wearing helmets and going in for a bit of raping and pilaging at future gigs. Should attract larger audiences [/quote] Yes, this is quite true. I have already bought a nice fur lined leather waistcoat to look the part and I was going to try and pop to B & Q at the weekend to pick up an Axe. Idealy I wanted a Swedish PSG-90 sniper rifle but my wife said that its not really keeping with the whole Viking theme and not something B & Q would stock but if I wanted to pillage the garden shed then i am more than welcome

[quote name='sunsse' timestamp='1330475133' post='1558234'] I personally love tossing the name Reidmar around. Owning an amp named Reidmar makes me feel like a viking playing bass [/quote] I do agree and I love the fact that it has dragons on the front. My wife loves dragons and I keep reminding her that I have dragons on my amp However, the sensible boring side of me thinks from a marketing point of view, calling it the classic 250 would had been better. Still, I got dragons so I am happy and I am up for being a Viking bass player too

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1330473747' post='1558217'] Going by the wording on the PCB, it looks like this was originally going to be called the Classic 250. Seems like an evolution of the never to reach retail Classic 160 but with an uprated power output. [/quote] I think that would had been a better name considering it is being promoted with the Classic cabs.

[quote name='TheRev' timestamp='1330421470' post='1557001'] Both my bands have a certain onstage image. The Lemons go for a scruffy jazz look wheras the Skimmitys, being a scrumpy'n'western band have our take on the Wurzels look. I used to be dead against dressing up fior the stage, but now I quite like putting on the band persona - sort of 'time to get down to business'. It also helps to have a band that looks like a band and stands out from the rest of the audience. [/quote] Whats scruffy Jazz? Got any pictures?

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1330341239' post='1555821'] Don't forget to wear a Jersey. Its Fresian in there. [/quote] Ah ok cool. I do have a nice jumper and shirt which I have not worn yet so may be an excuse to give it an airing

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1330338757' post='1555772'] You'll have a blast mate! The crew there are soooooo good, and so professional. I'd love to play there again, although we were only in the theatre, not the main stage, one of the nicest gigs I've done. [/quote] Great stuff. I have heard good things about the venue so really looking forward to it. Plus we have use of Paul Weller's crew so it should be an excellent bunch of gigs.

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1330336128' post='1555709'] Groan Congratulations Michael! I see your band is supprting Paul Weller at the Roundhouse for three dates, what a fabulous gig! [/quote] Thanks Nigel. Yeah, looking forward to those gigs and will be great to try the EBS rig on a big stage

Ok thanks so you are better off just looking at the lower figure for a realistic output.

Can someone please explain what it means when EBS puts the following for their amp specs, [b]Dynamic Output Power 660 W RMS[/b] [b]Continuous Output Power 540 W RMS[/b] Whats the difference between Dynamic Output Power and Continous Output Power?? Also, with the same amp, EBS quote the following [b]400/460 at 4 Ohms and 530/650 at 2 ohms[/b] What is there two figures for the two different Ohms as in 400/460 at 4 Ohms?

Thanks guys.

[quote name='73Jazz' timestamp='1330279606' post='1555078'] Holy cow:) Congrats [/quote] HAHAHA and thank you

For anyone who buys Mojo magazine, my band "Cow" have the song "Black Harvest" included on the cover CD as well as an article on the band inside. Its available for sale this Tuesday, 28th February and I really can't wait

[quote name='fatgoogle' timestamp='1330266078' post='1554829'] So i was thinking about getting one of these. Im still worried about the 250 watts thing. Im using hartke lh500 at the moment, which has always been great through a single 8 ohm 15" cab. Id be using it mostly in small venues(anyone in dublin think, sweeneys, mercantile, wheelans etc) playing with anything from a 3 piece to a 9-10 piece with a horn section, keys etc. Also it might be a clean signal or quite dubby with a good few pedals, depending on the act. I would like to get it with the two 1x12 ebs classic cabs, id prefer 2 2x10's but there so damn expensive it seems for anything good. Do you think it would work for me? [/quote] In my opinion I would say, especially with two classic cabs. My one classic cab and Reidmar which is pushing out 125 watts has replaced my MarkBass CMD112 combo which pushes out 300 watts.

[quote name='tonyf' timestamp='1330127842' post='1553281'] Wow, that album is towards the top of my top one! ;-) Such a part of my youth. For me, one of the few albums that work from the first note to the last. Being able to zone out and put that on headphones has brought me through some difficult times in my life. Think I need another listen over the weekend :-) T [/quote] Yep, I feel the same way. I adore the song Street Fighting Years as well as Mandela Day. The whole album as you say from start to finish is just perfect.

Probably my favourite band and certainly my favourite bass player. Seen them play about 10 times, always excellent and saw them last year on their greatest hits forest tour where they played about 3 or 4 songs from every album. I really wish I was going on this tour but for some reason I kind of never bothered. I really should had as New Gold Dream is my favourite album (as well as Street Fighting Years) and would love to hear King Is White and Hunter and The Hunted.
