Welcome @Napalmnun

Thank you Stuart Maconie’s Freak Zone...

Clear, concise, technically detailed, thoughtful, insightful even. If anyone was thinking about spending some money on ‘these amps’ then the information here would be crucial in making an informed decision. Masterful.

Just in case you fancy a good laugh and/or a car crash tragedy, Bros: After The Screaming Stops is on in just over an hour on BBC4 at 00:30.

Welcome @MS93

Reminds me of the mighty Dub War...

That's ok, I'll be getting the Auralex one.

That's great, thanks for the pic. I shall be buying one of those!

Lovely. What is the QSC resting on? I have a mat from B&Q that does the job but that looks entirely rore the part.

That's schweeeeeeet.

Closest I ever got to a tattoo...

We must have had very similar youths.

Brian would disagree.

Ah, don’t forget the jazz piccolo genius Zebedee McManus. A great player rumoured to have legendary equipment in his trousers, very few people realised it was, in fact, a big ol’ spring.

I was lucky enough to attend many, many, Adam Ant gigs right from very early through to my last one on the Prince Charming tour. I’ve seen a couple of the more recent ones too. I was lucky enough to see Bow Wow Wow just the once at the Zig Zag Club on the 16th Nov 81 which makes me feel very old indeed.

I’m a big fan of the first three albums equally but I do love love the opening track of Tubeway Army’s first album. I used to have a bikers jacket with the Crass symbol on one sleeve and the Tubeway Army face on the other, thought I was thoroughly original man about town until I took a stroll up the Kings Road one afternoon and saw seven, yes seven biker jackets with Crass/Numan painted variants. I sulked off home and listened to Dirk Wears White Sox.

I had my flu vaccination recently, with all the covid measures I was in and out of building within a minute and a half, quicker than it ever has been before! I have no doubt I was lucky in this but despite it being an immense task to vaccinate (I doubt we'll make 70% of the population initially) I think it will happen.

In what sense?

It is certainly arriving in some places in the middle of next week. Everyone is tied up with logistics, until there is something to on site vaccinate people with there isn't a lot to say. No, see above. Yes. Or even from the NHS.

Welcome @DeadPixels

I'd get one despite that, this way at least you have a long time to delve into the vastness of it's possibilities, when we start gigging again you'll know it inside out.

Exactly what I used before I got the HX Stomp, I was perfectly happy with the Fishman PP tbh but, typically, I just wanted the vast array of bells and whistles that the Stomp gives.

God forbid, even uprighteyes! 😉
