Dropping you a PM as have a contender for sale - not far from you either 😉

Blimey - a few messages on this - off to a new home!

Hi all I have a set of these up for grabs - virtually unplayed, I didn't like the tension. The catch is that they are cut for my Warwick Corvette, so a 2 up 2 down headstock - the G definitely won't stretch to a normal Fender style headstock, D looks tight but probably OK when I line it up with my Yamaha BB as a guide. Cover postage (and maybe a beer to drown my sorrows 🤣) and they are yours! Cheers Jason

Thanks! That's the key bit - I want to be able to use the Post Eq sounds to output to the PA, but also change stage volume without altering the level of DI feed to the PA. I've had heads before were Post Eq DI volume is changed with master volume - so this sounds ideal.

Cheers Lozz I'm wondering if it does the same 'post' too - the manual seems to suggest it would? Aha - I've worked out how to tag people 🙂 @Ashdown Engineering

Dropped you a PM as just about to put one of the above up for sale 😁

Hi all I have an ABM 600 iv EVO which, (having got to grips with the eq) I am enjoying! Quick question re the DI output - the manual states :- "DIRECT INJECT (D.I.) - A balanced D.I. is provided on a latching XLR socket. This has a push button placed below it that allows the user to choose either a Pre E.Q. signal (button pushed IN) or a Post E.Q. Post Sub and effects signal (button OUT). The output signal from this XLR socket is set to a level and impedance suitable for connecting directly into the Microphone input of a mixing desk for either Direct Injection into the PA system or for recording." If I'm reading this correctly then it sounds like the DI level is constant regardless of if I set it pre or post eq, and changes in stage volume won't effect the DI level. This would be a good thing 🙂 Anyone know if this is correct - I could test it live but that is something of a faff with a pub full of punters enduring me playing a one note solo in E whilst trying to work out if it's louder or not, for 10 mins... Cheers PS Just heading out to rehearsal so don't think I'm ignoring you...

I'm waiting for the Ampeg Fairy.

I had a Cobra 45w 12" combo as my second ever amp - a step up from whatever I had before I recall - never gigged it but it got me going and served it's purpose well. I replaced it with an Ampeg 410 combo, which I'm keeping to save the kids the expense of a coffin.

Quite like this one - Tea Drinkers and Hell Raisers

You can get baritone acoustic 6 string guitars strung with a low B. Might be worth a look

Ok - this one is £50 because it has zero matches on Google etc. Nearly used this one once, but feared punters/pubs would never spell it right! Rokyasoxov Also works as Rokyasoxoff Only classic rock covers bands need apply 😁

Florence Rages Against The Rolling Sex Beatles Sex Machinehead Better.

'Premium Slice' - that's pretty good and only £9 with a discount code.

I tend to find the best band name is the one you think of just after you've finished weeks of debate, decided on one and set up the band Facebook page etc....🙄

I picked one up only last week from the forum and used it in rehearsal last night - plenty of volume and it does seem to have a bit more weight to it's delivery than my GK MB500 Fusion (which is no slouch).... as well as having a good deal more weight overall! Loud rehearsal with guitar, keys, drums and vox - fine with just one of my Berg 112s.

Always played in covers bands but have dodged all of those mentioned - I've played Grapevine and Superstition at home just because they were fun to play. Brightside sets my teeth on edge - it's the lyrics - horrible, whiny, needy boy no wonder she dumped you!😂

Cheers 00Stephen Ian Powerfix is a very metal name🤘😉

Have those leads got a model number or something to identify them, in case they all are snapped up before I can reach a Lidl? 🙂

I have a similar issue with the socket on my Dingwall, I have a right angle cable that connects to my Shure wireless (it's a special cable) - it fits ok but if the cable swivels a couple of screws that are around the socket push the cable out a bit. Bloody PITA it is!

Dropped you a PM! 🙂

It's a tricky balance - I see plenty of covers bands that play the proven 'trigger' songs and little else. Most average punters do always react in a Pavlov's Dogs kind of way. My band recognize the need for a few of these in the armoury and they are very handy to drop in - but equally we try and put other good stuff in (still popular tunes) to avoid the "Same songs, different faces" tag that a local landlord coined. Definitely more interesting for us too. We frequently get people say they enjoy our different mix of tunes - but this is mainly in the 'proper' music pubs. In the local, with less of a music record, you could probably play SOF, Brightside and Chelsea Dagger all night on repeat..

Had a random one at a recent gig - first set so pretty early and no-one really tanked as yet. We launched I Believe In a Thing Called Cheese and this middle aged, very conservatively dressed guy at the bar goes loopy. Some of the most extrovert dance moves we have ever seen, including dry humping a brick pillar - repeatedly. We became completely transfixed, expected him to come through the singer at any point - but his timing was ninja like. We finished the song, gave him a round of applause. Then he left. End of the night all the locals were asking us who the guy was. They'd never seen him before. Mysterious Darkness Dancer is out there....
