@Bean9seventycan you tell us a bit about your history and gear? You will probably say you already have but I'd be interested to see it all in one, precise post (which reads as an insult but isn't meant to be).

There's a meeting destined to happen!

I hope those two people never travel together!

Nothing massively exciting. I have a Sterling SUB Stingray that has a Retrovibe Stinger pre-amp and I just thought I'd get a Nordstrand MM4.2 to add to it. Not really necessary as the Stinger does a great job with the stock pickup. I intend to get another SUB and swap out the electrics for the Nordstrand/Stinger setup currently in my OLP. I'll then flog the OLP with the Sterling pre-amp and pickup and include the original OLP electrics too (passive VVT).

Order processed yesterday (first day back after order placed) and delivery just received. Can't fault that.

Mind you, there are others whom I (personally) don't miss in the slightest.

It's heavy going and a more 'usual' style would certainly help but a straight out insult isn't the most encouraging contribution, surely?

Do you have a connection to the interesting bass in the pic?

No problem. Appreciate the clarification.

I had hoped I was just giving you some of the perspective you asked for. Did I miss something?

Maybe I should add that all of these have been played through a 2x15 configuration set up.

I can only offer you this. I have moved from Bass 400 to Bass 400+ (both all valve) to M-Pulse 600 (valve/mos-fet) through to TT800 (valve/digital) without losing my core sound (to my ears). Do not fear the change. Of course, I have kept it 'in the family' so there's common dna, but I have proved (to myself) that you won't lose any of the punch.

Which elicited this reply: the dance floors were exciting, think the music industry thing was a drink too big & a sandwich too small, for me especially yes, there was a lot to it, Denmark st 1976 -80 ,, fact No1, get it right ,

Off topic? Have we worked out what the topic actually is? It would be great if we could have a clear post setting out exactly what is being said. Any attempt to engage with the OP to garner such a response is met with unintelligible ranting (to my feeble brain).

If we're talking defence contractors. As a VAT man I once visited Wayne Kerr plc at their factory in Bognor Regis. I kid you not.

It's a real shame. A clear and dispassionate account of the times and any role the OP played in it would be informative. The apparent troll with a chip on their shoulder act serves no purpose and pretty much renders the thread pointless.

Tricky one to get out of, but I would certainly be heading outdoors between each set.

Depending on the make, you could be waiting for a new one. Great shortage of parts for some digital amps.

Yup. Mark at Classic and Cool is a great guy to deal with.

He seems to have done the decent thing here, but it has shone a fresh light onto his less agreeable traits.

Whereabouts are you?

I miss the constant circling of the fleet of Navy Provost vans in Pompey during the evening. 🙂

Just need another and a trio of Max amps.

Makes you think Arthur Wellesley had it right.
