nope, i only use my amp as my source of power. the marshall served me well in my first 2 gigs with it. im hoping that I will only have to use the amp and not DI it. Surely the 15inch speaker with 200watts should pack enough welly(fingers crossed). my crowds only range from 50-100folk. I would only di out if im playing a much larger gig

Ok chaps, Worst case senario, during my approx 7th song, my mb4210 300watt broke. It started 'farting' then finally began cutting out all together. We tried pushing on and hopefully it would kick back in,,,,,but as im sure we all know this was an empty wish and the lump of pish gave up. So a mad rush to my home to pick up my little 50watt peavey max115 which is my only other amp was in place. Now the marshall has great tonal qualitys and great output, so how did the peavey hold up, well im glad to report that it did the job, it wasnt amazing but by god the we fella saved the day, i could be heard(just) and the show went on. So well infact that the pub booked us for a further 2 gigs. So Sunday morning i got all the amps packaging together (it was only 2months old) took it back to the amazing guys in merchant city guitar and they did a straight swap for a Hughes & Kettner BK200 200watt amp. Not tried it at rehearsals or gigs yet but looking forward to it. If anyone has any experience on these amps, either the marshall mb4210 or mainly the hughes & Kettner BK200 then please add to this thread. Cheers for reading folks, oh and just to add, the peavey is now my hero and although it wont be my gigging bass I can highly recommend them. Steven

cheers dude, i gigged with mine last night and it crapped out half way through first set, so its off to the shop for fixing today. it actually works fine this morning so guess its this ommon thermo cutoff problem

hey there man, sent you a wee pm.

Mon' tha Scots

Hey all, just another wee update, we are booked into Dakota again in greenock on the saturday 26th september. Ive noticed I have had no replies to my thread so i can only hope that someone is reading these and maybe even turn up to show support. cheers dudes Peace out

bought chris's Jekyll and hyde pedal. This man is a gentleman with great comms and I hope to do business with him again soon.

yeah I think jam nights are a good think, it certainly gave me a bit of confidence when it came to me playing in my band as i couldnt imagine ever playing infront of folk. The jam i go to is in greenock in the argyll and sutherland bar on a friday and sunday, me and my brother in law who is also ma drummer enjoy going up, me and a few mates did: good times bad times, come together and hard to handle last night and it was really enjoyable mucking about. So i give jam sessions a massive thumbs up, but only if the host band and crowd appreciate the punters doing a turn on stage

oh oh, i may be asleep also
