    This has caused a stirring in my loins!

    Sadly I once had a guitarist I was playing with query why 4 strings were ‘not enough’ for me. Yes, a guitarist, with his 6 strings. He was less than half my age, so I guess it was ok to let him off for that one.

    I have my first gig since March a week tomorrow. I play bass in a Bowie tribute and we are doing a 45 min set in a 4-piece (rather than 6-piece) lineup, which means I get to play lead guitar for a change. We will be playing outdoors at a pub that lets us rehearse FOC in their skittle alley, so happy to help them even if we don’t get paid much/anything. Rehearsal this week was hugely enjoyable, can’t wait for the gig - fingers crossed for decent weather.

    I think it was actually Arlen Roth who tutored Macchio.

    I had assumed that the Unity combos were Class D. Regardless of whether they are any good, Blackstar are almost guaranteed to sell some of these. The shops that have accounts with them (particularly smaller ones, not that there are many left) will be required to take some into stock, and the folks who go in looking for 'a bass amp' will be pointed to this range.

    I used to get that bus.

    Interesting comment on the headroom - I got a Scarlett 6i6 last year and it was a real game changer in that at last I had plenty of headroom for direct recording bass without compressing the bejaysus out of it. Pleased to say I haven't had the disco lights experience...

    I’m gravitating towards the first one. Amp twiddling gets on my wick!

    Budget option - Alesis PercPad (about £70 new) - 4 velocity sensitive pads, can be extended with kick and hi-hat triggers/switches. MIDI out but no USB. Alesis ControlPad - 8 velocity sensitive pads, can be extended with kick and hi-hat triggers/switches. About £100 used form eBay, but tend to be bashed up with stick marks! MIDI and USB outs. I went for a Cubeat (I paid £40 used off eBay) - 6 velocity sensitive pads plus kick and hi-hat switches (not velocity sensitive). Looks like a toy but is in fact a class-compliant device. USB only. Unfortunately there is an issue with note lengths that requires a work-around when recording to a DAW.

    I'm 6ft tall but a little over 18 and 23. Well ok, nearly 50% more than 18+23...

    I recently took a 2x12 transistor guitar combo from around 1978 in trade. Plans to restore it to full working order and retire on the proceed were scotched when I found there was no power amp board inside! Hence I am parting it out. 1. Eminence 12in 8ohm 'square magnet' speaker 1978 vintage In good working order - no holes or tears in the cone, which moves freely on the suspension. I have had it working, hooked up to an amp playing some recorded music. Code 677841 means: 67 - manufactured by Eminence 78 - in 1978 41 - 41st week i.e. October I haven't been able to get any specific information from the other code, but given there were two in a 75W amp, I expect it would handle at least 35-40W. I have cleaned off a load of dust and cobwebs. There is some surface rust on the basket, which you should be able to see in the photos. This is 'No.2' as No.1 has already been sold. £45 delivered UK mainland. 2. Stancor mains transformer Primary is 240V or 120V - connect purple wire to blue wire for 240V operation. Secondary is approx 27-0-27 VAC, which will give about 37-0-37 VDC when rectified. Tested and working. £25 delivered UK mainland. 3. Aluminium/alloy heatsink 185mm x 100mm x 22mm plus removable mounting bar. There are a couple of marks / extra holes from drilling out the rivets. £10 delivered UK mainland.

    Struggling to find a direct replacement online - the cap might not be ceramic after all. I have contacted EBS to see if they can tell me what I need. The other possibility is a stray bit of something conductive bypassing the cap.
