Because they can. Because they come from a different era with more choice in electronics and engineering, and different ideas on what sounds good. And because marketing.

Peavey had some valve powerblocks.. classic 120 or something? However I don't think you are going to get that 'bounce' from switching poweramps. That's gain stage stuff right there, as poweramps are generally designed to just make it louder. .... Found a pic: [IMG]http://peaveyguitar.net/files/2010/07/-13231904223046000.jpg[/IMG]

Ashdown has quite a diverse offering and pricerange in combos, sounds like you got stuck with a tourbus model instead of a Neo. I'd like to draw your attention to a lesser known brand: Hevos (I'm in no way or form affiliated with them btw) http://www.hevos.nl/en/combos

It's impossible to find a brass guitar!

Ashdown and Hartke both offer great pro combo's. Instead of the soon-to-be-discontinued Genz Benz you may want to chexk them out. Give them a listen!

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1383492652' post='2264987'] If the supplied oil is for treating an unfinished neck it's probably something like gunstock oil & won't be suitable for using on a fingerboard. [/quote] Gunstock oil is great for maple fretboards, even rosewood. Ebony should need very little looking after. Gunstock WAX goes on the back of an unvarnished neck only. If the supplied oil says to use it on the back only, use it on the back only

[quote name='muttley' timestamp='1383491422' post='2264964'] Daughter has expressed an interest in playing the guitar and is learning a few songs on my acoustic. With the forthcoming silly season I thought I would buy her a leccy guitar. What does the panel recommend for a teenager to learn on? Budget is under £200 (£150 would be nice...). [/quote] Which ever she finds prettiest. Anything else will get zero play.

A single 2x12 will often do the job of a 410 but with more alacrity. 12s seem stronger in the low mids and weaker in the sub ranges (generally speaking ofcourse!) Making them cut through easier. Less speakers may mean more portability. Add a second 2x12 for full stack power or maybe an 18 for monster subs I use a 4x12. Lighter than a 8x10, loud enough for anything, gargantuan tone.

With the rocket on!

So how come nobody in w-europe is manufacturing übertübes? (Now there's a brand name!) There is obviously a demand. Is it filthy labour-intensive work that only illiterate exploitable peasants will take?

I'm with Happy Jack on this one, here's more evidence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=387ZDGSKVSg

Out of the two I'd vote focusrite. Roland's quadcapture is good too though!

I will not pick up an ugly bass. Supposing someone caught it on camera? I'd lose all my street-cred! I want to look awesome playing bass, it helps. So looks first, then feel. Play it unplugged for a while so you're not distracted by the sound of that £2k+ rig you plugged in to. Lastly the trivial stuff like sound, the missus' anger level, and actually being able to pay for the thing. The bass I mean. At this point you may have reduced your options to one or two examples. Pick one at random, pay, go home. Return it the next day, apologise for your mistake and bring home the one you really wanted, now that sense is no longer a factor. Easy!

Try the GK neo stuff! Other than that it's usually two out of three when it comes to loud, lightweight, low price.

Jazz appears to be a field where highly skilled musicians prove to be very poor songwriters.

[quote name='maldy' timestamp='1382107683' post='2248124'] That would be my ideal and was my plan. I prefer getting practice done early, rather than doing it late in the evening. However, for the last seven months my one year old has been waking several times in the night and getting up between 5:30 and 6 :-( [/quote] It'll get better. Have fun with the little one and they'll be fun for you
