  2. These really are as good as their reputation - all that sound from a compact amp smaller than an X-box. Have been using with a Barefaced 12-inch Super Compact for the past few months and never gone past halfway on volume. Very good condition indeed; has been well looked after.

  6. Amazing. Proud to have played a small part!
  7. Noel on how he got involved with the JHE (from our interview in 2000). "I saw this ad in Melody maker that Eric Burdon was forming the New Animals. He’d sung with my band from Folkestone called the Loving Kind about six months before. We’d played in a club in London and he’d come up and sung a couple of tunes, and said 'You lot are good'. Basically in September ‘66 I thought I’d audition for Eric in case he might remember me. Did he? No, and that was my bit of good luck! "I played a couple of tunes on guitar and that was when Chas Chandler wandered over to me. He was like a star to me, I was only 20 years old. He said 'Can you play bass?' I said 'No, but I’ll try it.' I was handed a bass, and played three songs with this American gentleman, a drummer, myself and a keyboard player. Three songs with no vocal at all. Then the American gentleman said 'Can I have a word with you?' "There was a nice little pub next door to the place and he discovered he liked best bitter. He talked about music, I asked him about the American scene, had he ever seen Sam Cooke, that sort of stuff, Booker T, and he was asking me about the English scene which at that point was the Small Faces, the Move, the Kinks. Then he said to me 'Do you want to join my band.?' And that was Mr James Hendrix."
  8. I interviewed him after yet another box set had been released. Asked him if he had it and what he thought of it. Told me his copy had been delivered previous week: 'That'll be £28 COD, Mr Redding...'
  9. Thank you to all those who have contributed to a thread that's ranged widely and thought-provokingly. Been on this forum 10 years and it never ceases to amaze me. Have a good Christmas one and all. Mickey
  10. Having both retired, my wife and I insured our car for social use only. Now I have joined a band that does regular (30+) local gigs a year, she is worried I would not be covered if I had an accident going to or from a gig. I get the feeling when the word 'musician' is mentioned the price will soar. Anyone gone through this, and is there a way to minimise the likely financial damage? Thanks!
  11. Fair play to you mate!
  12. I want to digitise some old 'demo tape' cassettes before they fall apart. I use a Mac - is there a piece of kit that's worked for you and is worth me shelling out for? Thanks!
  13. I have one of these and it is truly fantastic- don't hesitate if you fancy a dabble, this will hold its value. GLWTS
  14. Whatcha got now Jim? I use an Aguilar TH500 with my SC and never have trouble being heard. These plus bass and bag mean one trip to the car... unlikely to buy another cab, no need.
  15. Anagram of Bono = O Nob Anagram of Poldark = Old Krap I rest my (bass) case..
  16. Never mind the bass, where do I get the Pacamac?
