fleabag

Thanks and will check them, but its which way they were facing that i dont know, because i pulled them out before checking

Beggs hams it up

I think that might by the heavy flanging effect

One question regarding the fans on the back of the amp, something i should have checked before pulling them out, do they blow inwards onto the heatsinks, or extract the air off the heatsinks and blow it out the back of the amp ?

Indeed, and i think the Jaco one is a new-ish one

Nick's homage to Jaco

Bit more of Nick demoing how got the sound on the single i posted above

He played some awesome stick on Big Bubbles No Troubles with the band Ellis Beggs and Howard. I still have this track in my collection. Fab stuff. A friend of mine lives in the same town and often sees him around and says hello. He's a totally nice and down to earth chappie

I had my doubts

Followed advice, originals back in for now, but right now i'm waiting for a pair of quiet fans to be delivered, because the stock ones are too noisy, so the amp is out of the box. I have been mulling over other drivers , just maybe for the future, and like the look of the Beyma 10G40 at Blue Aran https://usspeaker.com/beyma 10G40-1.htm

I cant find anything about them. I thought SICAS were blue coloured, at least when they supplied them back when , so they may not be SICAS. I tried googling those numbers on the back in the photo, but google threw up nothing.

Thanks Bill, yes. I may not have the tech savvy, but i do take in what you and the other guys say about simply stuffing any old drivers in a cab without a second thought. I think i will remove them and put the originals back in.

Here's a little bit of acoustic work from Velvet

AH is very marmite, i must admit. But having seem him live ( small 3 piece jazz outfit - git, drums, DB in a small jazz club ) and i have a solo album, Velvet Darkness, and his work with Gong - Gazeuse ! especially, i love his work.

Not much of a bass line here, but i just love this song

Thats nice to hear. Chapman has one helluva voice. You could never confuse him with any other singer

One thing about who posts. If i was the seller and posting, i'd insure anything valuable to the hilt. Since i'm taking responsibility for postage, then i'm responsible for the item until delivered safely. Insurance is protection for who arranges postage. If the buyer arranges their own courier, then insure valuable items to the hilt. But always read the scamming small print. The devil is always in the detail

It makes sense now i've looked at the posts. I thought, when i saw the title , that you needed help and training to use Skype

Well, as far as BC goes for buying, check the feedback. That's what it's for.

Well for lovers of Family ( including me ) here's some footage of Wetton doing some tasty bass lines on In My Own Time And same track, this time with Weider

Selling a bass , i guess the seller needs to do everything they can if they want a sale. On the otherhand, it maybe that buyers needs to put themselves out too, if its a bass they really want. Just sold a fretless to a lovely BC member, who was fine with arranging a courier. I didnt want to post because i had no hard case. Buyer sent his own hard case acoss, i packed it ( very well packed ) and buyer did the rest. We were both happy. Go figure..

Weird track , but then they weren't a conventional band. This was from their days before Wetton, and after Ric Grech, so the bassist is John Weider, i believe

Yes, quite right and a great player, as you say I even sold Glen a Fender bass neck once after he bid on it on Ebay. Trouble was he lived in California, so to my astonishment, he sent his friend and Tull drummer Clive Bunker round to my home to pick it up and take it California with him when they next met up
