    Bobby! Are you there?

    TM did the business. I am back on 10.9 and somehow have managed to sneak a 10.7 driver past it Thanks all

    It has now clocked the TM disk so I am using that. Interestingly it is on 10.9 there but still managing to run the 10.7 driver. I have no idea how I managed that.

    Thanks all. I do actually have a TM backup. I unmounted the TMHD before I reformatted the Mac HD. Having plugged the TMHD back in it is not actually giving me the option of seeing it as a pick and choose backup. When I went to reload everything originally it just could not see the TM. I have spent quite a bit of time setting it up (backups elsewhere as well) but I guess I will just go back and reformat off TM as it is now picking it up and telling me it goes back to June 1st.

    My 2009 iMac 24 was so slow it was like swimming through treacle with a cow tied around my waist. I knew I needed to re-instal OSX and start again. I had had trouble with the driver for my aged M-Audio Ozonic firewire keyboard before but got around it by telling the Mac that it was cool to load anything from anywhere. Sadly now I cannot get it to load. I am on 10.11.6 and the driver is for 10.7. The most recent driver(10.7) is sitting there and happily going into install action but then says that it cannot install at the end because "there is no software found to install". I know that the answer here is to £££££up and buy a new interface and keyboard controller, but I would really like to not be shelling out the coin if I could help it. Any suggestions/work arounds? Thanks as usual.

    On reflection I should have written "I know you are aware of this". All I was doing was trying to make it clear to da kidz who might be reading this that every time they are in a high volume situation they are one step closer to permanent ringing. That it is not all or nothing. Each high volume situation is laying the ground for misery later on. And it is avoidable. Again, I know you know this. I just wish I knew it when I was in a position to be protecting myself. Ironically, mine started after a quiet rehearsal with an EUB, a harp and keys.

    I am sure you are well aware of this, but it bears repeating. Tinnitus is cumulative. Every time any of us gets the whistling it is one notch further towards our friend for life, tinnitus.

    Lovely, lovely floor based 2 channel preamp. Really nice, as in proper studio grade, mic preamp. Two fully discreet XLR DIs and jack out to amp. It buffers piezos better than anything I have tried. The eq is powerful. The hpf works like a dream. If it is all that then why am I selling? I am just not using it as my gigs have changed and I could spend the money on something else exciting. There is nothing on my shopping list at the moment but I like to be ready when the next adventure is GO!

    I am too embarrassed to go through a list of all the amps I've loved before, that travelled in and out my door....... The Quilter amp seems to be getting a lot of love. People are using them to drive Greenboy cabs which can take GOBS of power. Small and powerful. Either take your whole rig to somewhere that stocks them, find a second hand one or buy one on distance selling and mess with it at home/rehearsal and then decide. Other amps are available. Perhaps borrowing a PA power amp and rehearsing with it would let you experience increased headroom before shelling out any £. Making decisions without shelling out £ is my favourite thing. Apart from cake, obviously.

    It is headroom. It sounds as if you are getting the volume you need. Re-eqing (it's a word now) will give you more headroom. Perhaps using a high pass filter. But it is the power section of your amp TRYING AS HARD AS IT CAN!!!!!!! And sadly 500w is usually only half the story. I have a/b/c 'd amps, all 500w and they were not all equal. HEADROOM is where it is at.

    These are the shizzle. This price is the ABSOLUTE shizzle. If it was courierable it would not even be here any more. And I do not even own an amp head. It is full of helium. It will fight with a drummer. I am a miserable git but actually LOL'ed for real when I picked one up. Someone do the right thing, buy it and put me out of my misery.

    I have not read the whole thread, but there are few games better than ebay roulette.

    Don't be standing in the way of the creative flow! I have a bass ready and waiting for it. I wonder if I could put a series parallel switch in there as well for another flavour? This bass was very close to going active bit this seems more fun. @KiOgon, obviously whenever there is a question mark that is directed at you! The bass at the moment has a vol and a tone and a 3 position toggle for neck/both/bridge. It also has 2 DFA knobs to fill holes that were there before it turned into my bass and a mini toggle which also does nothing. How about vol/tone/G&L magic/series parallel all on knobs and pickup selection on a 3 way toggle?
