Happy Jack

Judging by the grounds on which the ROH chose to fight the case, it seems clear that they knew they were on a sticky wicket. The Royal Opera House argued that acoustic shock does not exist, and that if it did, Mr Goldscheider did not have it. Their case was that he had developed an entirely natural hearing condition, known as Meniere's disease, at exactly the same time as the super-loud, high intensity noise burst behind his right ear. However, Mrs Justice Nicola Davies took a different view, stating: "I regard the defendant's contention that Meniere's disease developed at the rehearsal as stretching the concept of coincidence too far."

So long as the Notifications system is working, in my case!

Well you can put your cedilla où le soleil ne brille pas ...

Except in France, where it would be: Ca va! Ca va! Ca va? Ca va. Ca va? Ca va. Ca va! Ca va!

Oh yes, and he's listed it as a "PA Speaker", which is not going to help ...

I think the explanation is in the specs. 480W RMS power handling @ 4 ohms Frequency Response -6dB @ 35Hz and 18KHz Dimensions: 23-1/4"W x 36-1/2"H x 18-1/2"D Weight: 100 lbs. Lovely as I'm sure this is, how many of us really want a bass cab that weighs 100 lbs? In fact, he's got a bit of a cheek describing it as "very portable"!

No - just rise above it. People are people, some have manners, some don't, some have communication skills, some don't. Most of us love saying 'Yes' but hate saying 'No'. If we can avoid saying 'No' by walking away quietly, then that's what many will do. There's no point taking it seriously, even less in taking it personally. Just move on.

Stew, this is only because I'd run in that Midget so well for you ...

Hmmmmm ... as usual, Oscar Wilde got it right, at least for some people. The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.

I always look forward to Saint Paddy's Ext.

Good spot, Tiny. I completely missed that ...

Depends ... is it FRFR?

I've played DB through all manner of completely unsuitable equipment: Orange Terror Bass 500, Trace Elliot Elf, Gallien Krueger MB500, Aguilar Tonehammer 350. You know what? It always sounds like a DB. Yes, it sounds better played through some of the high-end, specialist, DB amplification I've used, but not THAT much better! And if it's for home use, please forgive the slightly disparaging tone, but who cares? It's only you who's going to hear it.

Do you reckon he's also a bounder?

Presumably to pay the heating bills in the rehearsal room?

I imagine most experienced Basschatters are simply gobsmacked to find that I own a Tenson. It's not a brand I think I'm associated with. 😁

I cannot tell a lie, Mick. It's me. I'd have thought the username was a bit of a giveaway. The bass was advertised here for a week first, but I wasn't entirely buried under the landslide of enquiries.

I don't see why getting paid in bacon sarnies should be held against you.

Why doesn't this poll have a category for 'Flakes & Fantasists'?

... I'd go to a different shop.
