That sucks. As the Doc says, it's better that you know now. I can't help thinking that they'll be back when the reasons that the previous guy left all surface again. But right now, I think you're better off without people like this in your life so move on and find some better people to work with.

It's quite a small one so i can just use The Edge.... Ba doom, tish!

It's true. I have a tattoo of a Bonio on me ar$e. The tattoo feller was a bit deaf.

Merry Christmas to one and all. May each and every one of us know peace and happiness.

Now sold! Up for sale is my pair of Bergantino CN112 cabinets, each with a fitted Bergantino cover. Just 12 kilos each and an easy one-handed lift! I bought these new from Bass Direct in (I think) 2013. They've done a good few gigs, always paired with a Genz Shuttle 6.2 which I've never had to wind up beyond half volume to make these cabs easily keep up with loud rock bands. I used one cab for small pubs and the pair for the social clubs and bigger bars. Overall condition is excellent - there are a few scuffs here and there, as you'd expect, but there are no tears or rips and no damage to the structure of the cabs. The covers are also in great shape - again, there are a few little marks and the odd pulled thread but they've done a great job of protecting the cabs. Everything works perfectly and you're welcome to come and inspect/try them out. Trades. There’s not much I actually need and I could do with releasing some cash from the Bergs so I can’t think of anything off-hand - but I’m open to suggestions so long as there’s some cash coming my way.... Given the size and lack of packing materials, I'd rather not post so it's collection or a meet part-way, I'm afraid. I'm based in Cleethorpes but i come down to London fairly regularly so i can easily detour off the A1 or meet somewhere around the northern half of the M25 - drop me a PM and we'll see what can be sorted out. I'd prefer to sell them as a pair if possible and am looking for offers around £700. If I have to split then it's £375 each. I'll post detailed pictures shortly but in the meantime, here's the blurb from the Bass Direct website.... This is a redesigned version of the classic AE112, it retains the clean/smooth detailed highs, from the acclaimed HD tweeter and cross-over, plus tight, smooth mids and plenty of low end that defies it's size. Add another CN112 for an amazing full size sounding rig that will fit in the boot of a small car and handle up to 1000W.. Perfect for all 4, 5 and 6+ stringed bass instruments. Excellent for Upright/Acoustic basses too. Model CN112 specifications: •1 x 12" cast frame neodymium woofer w/ 7oz. magnet, vented pole piece •high intelligibility 1" tweeter •power handling - 350 watts rms •custom phase - coherent crossover with tweeter level control •Precision tuned 100% Baltic Birch cabinet •frequency response: tbc •sensitivity: tbcdb • anechoic: 2.83v/1m •2 x 1/4" and 2 x neutrik connectors •impedance: 8 ohms •dimensions: 16"H x 18"W x 15"D •40cm x 47cm x 38cm •weight: 28bs/12Kgs

Congratulations! So cool! You look in real life like the picture I have in my head of how I think i should look..... (Sadly, I will always actually look like someone shaved a gibbon and put a bass guitar round it's neck.)

Isn't it? I love that run down he does to lead into the second verse. Both he and Jon Anderson did Christmas albums. I've not heard Swiss Choir but I'm prepared to bet that it's the better of the two.....😁
-
I got it as a single when it was first released in 1981 and it also turned up on the YesYears compilation as well as the Swiss Choir Christmas album (which I hadn't heard of till recently and would love to get a copy) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Chris-Squires-Swiss-Choir-Squire/dp/B002Q9VPG6

I can’t believe no one has mentioned this gem yet.... Not a hit, admittedly but, along with Greg Lake, one of my favourite Christmas songs.

If it is a Rickenbacker then my previous voice-of-reason post is null and void. Buyitbuyitbuyitbuyit.

It's a Rickenbacker, isn't it? In which case, buy it just to annoy Young Teebs.
-
Can you afford it? Seriously? Can you afford it? If you can't, don't buy. Or sell first, then buy. Hope that helps

Plus one for the Fenders. I've got them on all my basses and guitars. Rock solid and an easy on/off action

Sir! Sir! He said it, sir! He said that word what you said we weren't to say, sir!

I just bought a Vox guitar amp off Mike. Great guy to do business with - a smooth and easy transaction, just as it should be! Thanks Mike 😁

I'd play the gig, personally. Making sure that we had "a last drink together to toast our farewells and no hard feelings". I'd anticipate a decent laxative kicking in after about 40 minutes so one would need to time it so that things get interesting about third song in...... Oh, and a few minutes after sound check and before showtime with a spanner to detune the drums, alter the throw of the kick pedal, smear vaseline on the guitar strings and generally make sure that whatever they tried to play sounded awful. So I'd deffo play the gig. But then, I'm not one to hold a grudge, me. No sirree.

Memorable gigs of the year played/attended

.....and coming away with a complete set of organs*. *specifically, the same set of organs with which the day was started and all of them in their original location. You can never be completely sure with Dr. Mondeaux -

Nice that the kids still see our chosen instrument as cool

Could do you a swapsie? I've got a stash of Polly Pockets too, if you're interested? And it's not even 10am. How can you use up all of your TLRTs so soon? Have you found a way of giving them out by the handful? Are you leaving a trail of them through the woods in the hope of luring travellers to your cottage? -

Yeah? Whatcha want? My Little Ponies - got 'em all, mate. How many you need? -
So long as the splitter is wired in parallel, not series then you'll be fine - two 8ohm speakers connected in parallel will present a 4 ohm load to the amp. If there aren't two outputs on the amp or two sockets on one of the speakers then you'll need a splitter as you say - just make sure it's wired in parallel. Edit: i just read your post again and it seems like the 2x10 has two sockets so you can use them quite happily - one in from the amp, one to feed the other cabinet. Oh, and so long as it's not a valve output (which it isn't) you can run the amp without speakers and just headphones

Felt Fuzzy Dunlop. The new winter tyre that won't let you down......

I have one of these and it’s excellent. Really well made. I also have an unbranded one that I got from either GAK or Gear4music. It had the issue where the foam reacted with the finish on one of my guitars - I got some sticky-backed felt and wrapped a length of that around the foam. Sorted. That said, the stand’s nowhere near as good as the Quiklok one....

This....... Last band were definitely mates. This band? Colleagues for sure
