I kind of agree with you on Devoto, but spookily, i also think that his strange vocal tone / phrasing seems to really suit the band Maybe i'm alone in that, though

[quote name='Davo-London' timestamp='1485178498' post='3221774'] Massive fan of Sunbeams here. Worth a try if you are a nickel fan. Mine seems to last a long time. Even when the initial freshness has gone (ie zing reduced) they have a lovely tone. I would also say that if you generally find you are missing fatness, punch or growl - turn up the amp! Davo [/quote] Ditto - lovely strings, currenty some 40-100's on one of my basses IIRC, aren't the Nickel windings over round core instead of the usual hex core ?

You're a whelk comb

40-95 , 40-100, 45-100

Any lovers of the talented Barry Adamson ? Fantastic twanging on the live ' Play ' album around 1980 Unusally he played an Ovation ( a Mk 1 or 2 maybe.... not a 3 or 4 cos i had one - different shape ) , not a prolific model of bass for players of the fat string Still... might as well give Adamson some air time. Give Me Everything from PLAY. What a riff ... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFVrEJR2jN4[/media]

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1485015756' post='3220443'] 3dB is double power. 6dB is double actual volume or SPL 10dB is double perceived volume. [/quote] Yup meant to say 10db volume Tim - thanks for correction

I dont imagine - i read what the experts say Twice the power isnt a 3db increase. I think its something like 10db Read the BF website. I'm sure its all in there

From what i can recall of scientific stuff posted by Mr Claber and BFM, you arent going to be unleashing anything much at all by buying 12 ohm to 4 ohm converter Going from 200 watts to 500 watts is not much at all in the great scheme of things. IIRC, to double the perceived volume, you'd need about 10 x the power, EG 2000 watts Someone might corect me if thats wrong

One thing the Wychwood brewery did.... Every Christmas, they brought a shyte load of beer round to all those house owners who's back gardens overlooked the brewery ( about 8 or 9 of us ) When i say a load, it was brought round on a sack truck !! A little thank you because of the noise they made every morning throughout the year. I think some of my friend Chris's philosophies in life rubbed off on the bewery whizz kids

[quote name='EliasMooseblaster' timestamp='1484754444' post='3218130'] I've not had that stuff in years. See also Fiddler's Elbow and Black Wych; they are sorely missed. Never been sure whether it was Wychwood themselves that dropped a lot of those old recipes, or whether it due to pressure from Marston to devote more capacity to making more Hobgoblin...did you get much info from the inside? [/quote] No moose, i didnt get much info from the inside regarding those sorts of things, because it was a mini brewery when i worked there. Just 2 small-ish vats, one brewer who was also the owner, a secretary ( part time ) and a driver. In fact when i said i lived opposite the brewery, that was later when they got big, and moved their operation to opposite my back garden. The only info i have is from the old days of working for Chris Moss ( the owner / brewer when it was small ) and he was a friend too. The story he gave me was that another guy started the brewery under a different name, which was called The Glenny Brewery, after the thieving original owner. I knew him too, but not as a friend. He eventually got my pal Chris in as a partner when the business was still tiny ( I cannot remember at which point it changed name to the Wychwood Brewery, but i think Chris did that ) Then the other guy decided to sell up his share to Chris and promptly plimsolled himself off to Canada. Sometime later it became evident why. This guy had been cooking the books and had also been stuffing the Lec company and other utilities. When the paperwork / threats finally landed on Chris's lap, he was in debt to the tune of £77,000 Chris didnt really deal with that side of things in early days of the brewery being just the 2 of them. But he got himself sorted after a few years, and decided that the best way forward was to take on some financial brewery wizzkids. Wychwood took off like snot off a wet shiny shovel At one point they owned something like 49 pubs. Sadly Chris died after falling downstairs at home, though i believe he may have been a tad drunk at the time. I went to his funeral. Very sad after all he'd been through, though he did see his baby take off, if only for a short while

Aye, it must be hugely traumatic to hit the ' delete ' button Thats 1.2 seconds of your life you'll never get back

On the other hand, is a pint of Wychwood's Dogs Bollocks, a brewery i used to live opposite and actually work for before they became huge-ish
