Fan noise? Does it have a fan then? I haven't seen any pictures of the back.

Do like the style of it. Probably not going to like the weight!

That sounds like a great idea. Will suggest that one for next year, the ska version of things go down well.

Agree with that, I would just walk. As tempting as it would be to do other things, I would just walk and not have anything to do with them. I would however go to the gig (as an audience), see how they did and so that people can see it is not you being a problem.

Not back to back, but I have played the same venue with the same amp and the different speakers, and the new one seems to have a different sound to the TC112s (2 of). Seems to have a bit more presence in the middle, more importantly it makes my newest SR sound fuller (as it sounded a bit rough before).

1. Laugh 2 "Hell will freeze over before I do that. Good luck" 3. Slowly finish pint in silence 4. Stand up, walk away, no backward glance, never speak to them again.

1. We played a harbourside festival, hadn't done it before, didn't know it. Started off as a half an hour slot but the band after us bailed so we got extended (which was odd as we didn't know them and they didn't know us). Anyway, afternoon in the sun, crowd that had been drinking, us on a truck opposite the pub(s), great venue for a gig. Setup was us just turning up and plugging in. I do the PA and lights so most gigs are me hauling stuff in, spending time setting it up while the guitarist asks if we are ready for a sound check yet. Played well and the audience liked it, got decent money for something so short. Got asked back. 2. Sadly quite a tricky choice, there were a few. I think my least favourite was a local fair. it was cold, songs were being called out then starting other ones, I thought we sounded bad, we had to sit around for an hour before while we couldn't set up because an old man was playing songs to a backing on a laptop that his daughter was sitting behind on the stage. 3.Steve Hacket, in bath. Loved it, sound was great (not too loud), playing was perfect. 4. Gary Numan in bristol O2. He was great, sound was good for the O2 (unlike the support), but it was way too overcrowded, left before the end.

Often seems the ego is unrelated to the talent.

Finally got round to gigging it last night. It sounded so clear the band commented on it. Actually they were also impressed with it with the weight and finish of it. loved it, I was pretty happy. now I just need a bag, don't want it to get dented up like the tc 112s (must remember to tuffcab those)

I disagree. As you say, CV - It is like any other job. If you decide to leave then it is good to give them notice and cover things that need covering. However, if they kick you out, they kick you out. it is up to them to sort out arrangements afterwards.

Power of love by frankie goes to holywood (yes, a christmas song) or by huey lewis (not a christmas song)?

I put a ban on the slade one. Bah, humbug.

I started watching his indian course, was interesting, haven't got far yet.

We always do stop the cavalry the few gigs near christmas. It sound bad, it has never gone down that well. I have no idea why we do it - well, technically I do, because the singer and guitarist say that everyone loves christmas songs, something I have yet to see proven.

Love the finish on that 805 - better than the flat finishes they used to have. I wish they would do a premium / prestige fan fret.

No, there is no way I would do it. Seems odd they kick you out with no backup before an important gig, sounds like they might be imploding. however, I would really like to go for all of Franks ideas!

Nesh? As in 'unusually susceptible to cold weather?' Not specifically, it wasn't that chilly!

Did that a few weeks ago, due to a lovely Fender Aerodyne. Everyone said it looked great (and it does), but I did mess up a few songs that I hadn't remembered were harder to play.

I find it refreshing. I personally would love to do prog, but never had a chance on that one, so I have played rock and general pop with Ska and a bit of funk most of the time, in my youth I did folk and stuff that was a bit dangerously close to jazz. But I was asked to join a motown / soul sort of group and thought I would as it was something I knew nothing about. It is my second group so not that busy, but it has been hugely entertaining playing along to things I have never really listened to (even though I have been aware of it), and there is a lot in there I would have never noticed before.

I think play it, if you don't love it after a while, sell it.

Technically I didn't fail, I just didn't take part, so: 2 basses, 2 amps (one now sold), 1 cab (but I built that one), 1 Chapman stick, 1 Linnstrument, 1 yamaha reface keyboard, 1 effects pedal, 2 multi-fx, 2 wireless thingies (1 pair), a load of strings, a load of cables. I sold stuff too, but you can see why I didn't take part! I do intend to end up with less stuff at the end of 2020 than the end of 2019, that is my next year goal. Not that I don't intend to get stuff, just not as much and to sell more. And be more decided on what I was getting.

Maybe post your own thread with the model in the title and with the problem described and what you have done so far would give you more responses.

I downloaded them a few times on several different machines, depending on where I was.

Then I buy it. I play it, then it sits in the rack in my music room until I decide to sell it because it is not getting used. Fair enough, we are all different, I feel the OP is closer to what I do though. I can gig a 4 and occasionally do. It just requires a bit more though to rearrange stuff. But then it ends up, I can take a 5 and not think about it, or I can take a 4 and put the effort in. Eventually the 5 wins every time.
