[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1509658196' post='3400713'] The CTM-15 is an all-valve job though... could still be quite hefty! [/quote] Don't forget to fetch your coat...

Ross sent me a broken tuner to have a go at fixing, wouldn't even take postage money!

I'd be tempted to keep the head and run it through a more efficient cab, and just sell the original cab for whatever I could get for it.

Vom-tastic!

Subscribed (albeit late to the party).

I've put this in my calendar - unlikely to get a gig on a Sunday!

Looks lovely! Sound clips?

I was a long-term Ashdown user until about 5 years ago, when I made the switch to Barefaced cabs and (mainly) light-weight Class D heads. I have considered trying an Ashdown head with my BF cabs, but I don't really care for the EQ arrangement - I prefer 3 or 4 tone controls at most. I suggest you pick up a used head in the BC Market Place - try it, and if you don't like it, move it on at little or no net cost.

WTAF? And a cassette - how quaint!

On Friday night I was playing a pub with a rock covers trio. We had just gone back on after the break when a lady of a certain age approached the stage area and asked, ‘Are you the band?’ I swiftly replied, ‘No, we’re painters and decorators’.

I don't have virtuoso technical ability, but as a semi-pro I get dep gigs because I (1) can hold down a groove; (2) play for the the songs; and (3) turn up on time. I expect this experience would hold equally true in the fully pro world.

Neat job. Not.

[/quote] I ran a track through LANDR with good results but you can only do 2 per month FOC, you have to pay for any more than that.

Thanks all, I will give some of those a try.

To me, tort only looks good against white. I've gone for gold based on this MIM currently in Bass Direct:

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1509032662' post='3396200'] If 2TSB is non-negotiable then ignore this. There is 50s MIM P in black at Bass Direct for £600; it's been there for a while so a better deal may be available: [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Precision_MIM_50s_Special.html"]http://www.bassdirec...0s_Special.html[/url] [/quote] Oooh! Tempted myself...

I enjoy a bit of home recording, normally short demos that I put on my website*, but I have never got to grips with mastering and I'm wondering where to start. Can anyone recommend any free or inexpensive plugins that I can try - multi-band compressors, clever EQs etc? I am using Reaper. Cheers *[size=3]See link below - if you want to hear some of my un-mastered efforts, go to the 'Guitar' and 'Bass' pages.[/size]

Tim if you have an issue like this again, drop me a PM via BC or FB. I have a good stock of spares in my bits box, which has been running since 1978, so there would be a fair chance of me having a suitable part. Also comes with tea/coffee, chocolate biscuits, and the opportunity to try out kit!

Go second hand - BC Market Place is your friend!

The circuit is electrically identical. If you're interested in gaining an understanding of how this all works, take a look here: https://www.hometoys.com/content.php?url=/htinews/feb04/articles/polk/impedence.htm

Nobody has yet mentioned the 'sh!t sandwich' approach to turning someone down. Example: Bread (good): You certainly have your playing chops together Filling (sh!t): But I don't think you are the right fit for this band Bread (more good): With your ability and enthusiasm it shouldn't be long before you find the right band
