Stingray5

Two thumbs up!

Bernie was also a 'star attraction' at the 2010 London Bass Bash. Would be great to see him again.

What he said!

I use one of these. It's on wheels and has a pull-up grab-handle so easy enough to move around. If necessary, I can just take out the top half only which, to be fair, with a bit of re-organizing, I can get by with well enough. But I've rarely been at a gig and thought, rats - I shoulda brought such 'n' such....!

Just letting you know this does work ok for me. I'm taken to the first unread post since my last visit which also has a red separator line above it. Maybe something in your account settings?

Excellent! See you there.

My son bought me one of these: honestech Audio Recorder™ 3.0 Plus with USB Cassette Player I've not had a chance to really put it through it's paces as yet, but I've tried converting a couple of old demo cassette tapes to mp3's and it seems to do the job. One of my tapes was a tad 'wobbly' (recorded c.1982) so that's how the audio was captured. I gave it a second try and it did a slightly better job. Details here: http://www.honestech.com/main/audioRecorder30plus.asp

Cool! Just seen that 'Recently Browsing' is back.

Fair enough. It was simply that I'm constantly on email and I could see topic replies and decide whether I needed to go to Basschat right away or not. (If that makes sense?!). PM's - the only PM's I found in my email were from a fair few years ago. There was only the link back to BC, not the message itself. Maybe an earlier configuration? No matter - it was so long ago, I can't remember what they were about anyway.

Previously, I received email notifications when replies were posted to topics I follow. These emails would show the post text along with a link back to the topic on Basschat. I now see that these email notifications only include the link back to the topic but not the text from the post itself. Is this the only option with the new system or could the text from posts still be included in the notification emails?

Phew! I'd hate to think I broke the new website with my very first post...!!!

@charic Yes, I did wonder the same. The names list didn't actually pop up at all when I wrote the tags in my comment. Ah, just a thought - could it be because I wrote your name but forgot to include the @ symbol before it, so added it in afterwards...? That said, it's certainly working now.

Much congrats and well done to @charic, @ped and all those involved in getting the new Basschat up 'n' running. Ok... time to play around!

Another excellent Bass Bash! Thanks to Davey Rimmer and Steve Lawson for very informative and entertaining talks/demos. And of course, big thanks to organisers Colin, Nik and Chris. See y'all next year!

[quote name='Hippytone' timestamp='1487700507' post='3241997'] Impressive! some real 80's memories stirring themselves here. I seem to remember being "issued" with a black, bare wood finish TE 8x10 combo(!) from a hire co (think it was John Henrys) for a tour in '87. Looked monstrous, shame nobody could see it at the shows though coz the production didn't allow any backline on stage. So the poor thing sat in the wing next to a massive side-fill, which made it pretty much redundant! I've never seen one since. Wondering now if this might be the aging Hippytone mind playing tricks on me... [/quote] One of these, perhaps? This peeked my interest as I seem to remember seeing a TE 8x10 combo at the old Bass Centre (Wapping) many moons ago. Seems amazing to think that this big lump was rated at just 250 watts. (Mind you we are talking TE watts! )
