Been through a similar scenario a few times myself with the same band (not your band!). Your "singer" is a duck. Full of himself. Do yourself a favour and dont be his puppet. Makes me wonder what the rest of the "band" think too? They are probably too fekin scared to say anything. Band? Spent a lifetime with the same sort of obnoxious click and regret most of it. Move on. Even if he and his "band" unlikely "make it", you would have been spared all the crap of uncertainty and pain. Sounds like you have "real" talent too. Move on and don't help them anymore. In my experience, a singers definition of a "band" is not what the rest of the musicians in it belive. Rant over!

The bass tone on the title track is one of my favourite ever. The reason I bought a Dimarzio Model P! [/quote] Look on youtube for the making of the album. It's surreal!

I'm not worthy but I play many of the tracks live on a regular basis. What a fekin band!

I'm an underpaid guide dog...

I loved vinyl. Tangible, collectible, inner sleeves, coloured, different shapes etc etc, brilliant! Along came CO. I thought they were boring. The sound just seemed bland. Presentation was minimal in comparison. Took me many years to even possess a cd. I dont think I've ever bought one? Then came the download mp3 etc. Nothing but digital info. Impersonal and clinical. We can all get Mp3 and CO for free, rightly or wrongly. For me, you can't beat the buzz of spending your pocket money on something you really Want! Showing my age now I suppose! I used to look forward to amassing enough money to buy an album and then literally running to the music shop and buying what I wanted. Vinyl is the only medium that can do that in my eyes. CO etc took all the excitement out of buying a bands work for me. The sound was not and is not the same. CD technology was and still is flat and soulless in comparison. Mp3 download is just too clinical, just like digital photo's are not the same as holding a photo in your hand and being able feel it and relate to it. Hypocritically, my extesive vinyl collection is in the attic but now converted to mp3 on a small hard drive that takes up a lot less space. If I had the room though, the vinyl would be my first and only choice.

Could make a good tour bus for a three piece too! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Triplet-tandem-cycle-spare-and-repairs-/272466975602?hash=item3f704c1b72:g:k~EAAOSw5cNYPIJK

Found that with a through neck, I can make do with 22 frets for the stuff I play. I can reach to the 22nd with ease. With a bolt on, I would need 24 frets as the neck/body butt prohibits my reach. With a bolt on the 23rd and 24th frets i cannot reach. Chubby little mits you see...

Reading too deep here lads! Is a BF lightweight combo too difficult to comprehend?

Sounds Pretty Vagrant to me!

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1480097347' post='3181696'] I wouldn't start opening them up. Alex is pretty particular on the construction, especially the cross bracing to keep them rigid while using lightweight plywood. I followed a thread on another site a few years ago when he was making the prototype. It's very clever. [/quote] Ummm, I thought as much. Would be interesting to see the plans. Thanks for the info though...

Anybody have any thoughts about building a compact head into a BF cab? Midget or Compact perhaps? I'm not sure of the internal construction of ether and so would be nice to know if there was space...

Used a similar Ampeg cab recently. A monster of a thing. You should have seen me and the stage guy freak when it started moving on it's own towards the front of the stage! We stopped it just in time before it fell off! Reminded me of a Dalek
