Nick Grimshaw BBC 6music Monday 1st December 2025 7 - 10am He's promising some bass centric content for the morning show. I have no idea at what point it features but I understand you can rewind the digital player using something odd called a smart speaker. I say odd because there are more microphones than actual speakers in those devices. It's possible that Lauren Laverne will pick that theme up for her six of the best piece in the show that follows between 10am and 1pm.

Does my bum bum bum look big in this?

Ditto.

Slacker.

My mistake? Berk.

Ahem! (Sorry Tauzer.)

Two and a half months? I'm so sorry. I didn't realise you would be short of spare time, spare cash and sleep in general. Carry on. Oh, and belated con-flippin'-gratulations to you and Mrs 600! (Coo-ee Lickle 600!)

Aw. I enjoyed your posts on how you'd set up your workshop. I'm surprised.

I'm going to have a stab at forming a band*. I am a 63 year old hobby bassist but I'd like to play ensemble again like I did in my twenties. I sing in a local choir. I may or may not front said band (not sure if I'm able to sing and play at the same time well enough yet). So far I've got a name and a modest set list of tunes that I practise. Level Neville & The Undulations I claim dibs on the band name on this day, Friday, 28th November 2025. Thank you. * It's such a new band that I am the only member so far. If interested in joining for fun, maybe with a view to open mic nights and pub gigs, get in touch please. Ladies, gents and all variations, able bodied or otherwise. Let's do Dad Rock, Northern Soul, Disco, Funk, Blues & Pop for a laugh.

Impressive! If that system doesn't have some slick LED features HK are missing a trick. More seriously, does it help to have no corners anywhere in the enclosures? If so; I wonder how audible those benefits are?

They had one on the set of The I.T. Crowd. I bet Phil could comment on the practical issues of using perspex. Off the bat, I would think cabs would be relatively heavy. Good for a static installation. Not great for gigging. @Phil Starr? Would the 8" cab work using perspex or polycarbonate?

Good news! My car passed the MoT retest. This means I can still consider using my car to car pool with if it is more suitable than my travelling companion's. @pantherairsoft - if everything goes to plan and we share a ride, we could pick one amp, cab or combo from what we've got and cut down on luggage. As before, let's finalise arrangements nearer the time. I have a Laney RB3 combo (LF driver only, unlike recent versions that have an HF driver as well). I also have an Ashdown Toneman 300 combo. I'll leave the 18inch Trace cab behind unless someone specifically asks me to bring it.

Just ask Lon JR.

I love basements! Can I buy yours when you're moving on please?

That's one I'd like to see. I will wait 'till April or May to decide. I had made a tentative arrangement to car pool but a recent MoT failure* has cast some doubt as to whether I can afford to fix it by then. * If anyone can supply me with a replacement exhaust system for a Corolla T-Sport Compressor - for cost, I am willing to be their house-boy for a whole month (Any February except during leap years. Ts&Cs apply).

Nicely done Rosie. That's so much better than having eBait deliver instant gratification.

Hammerite comes in a variety of colours both smooth or hammered finish. Although it's expensive, it is quite tough as long as you have a compatible primer to support it. It's impressive when sunlight hits it so I'd imagine stage lighting would have a similar result. It is excellent for painting directly onto metal that has had the loose rust removed with a wire brush. It works well with plastics when you use the appropriate primer. I'd happily use it on a cab. It does take a while to fully cure however. You will need good ventilation too. It stinks for the first few days.

...and how long would it take you to knock me out two complete sets for my bi-amped quartet of cabs please? Five quid for labour? Heeheehee. Nah. I think that's a lovely personal touch. TE green has always been eye catching. Green Kwackers too, of course. Have you checked what they look like under UV?

Congratulations!

Welcome RD.

Yet sporting eight inches...! GWS

Welcome Charles.

Eh?

I doubt I'd be able to get a ticket without using the 'net. I've given up on the idea of going to anything that demands my logging into something. No. Just no.
