  1. Just glad to hear you're pain free. Our health is always our most precious asset.
  2. Welcome back. Pretty good scene in Basingstoke.
  3. I've got the external router, the Android tablet, the ethernet cables and usb/ethernet adapter plus all attendant software. All I don't have is the mixer itself, at the moment. 🙂
  4. I kind of looked at these options but went for the XR18 because 8 of the inputs on the XR16 are jacks. Not very flexible. That said, I await delivery so have no practical experience - yet.
  5. All the very best to you, in whatever decision you reach. You really never know what may be round the corner.
  6. Having gone for a digital mixer, it's time to let this go. Firstly. Why so cheap you ask? Two reasons. I am happy to let it go to someone here at a good price and second - it has a foible! Everything works BUT the display screen for the DSP effects displays random characters rather than the actual number. Not very helpful to begin with, but they all work and it is set on 53 (reverb). If anything else is needed you scroll through until you have the one you want. It's not really much of a pain when you're used to it. These are the features, as described by Alto. 10 XLR inputs with DNA(TM) microphone preamps Dynamic compression (channels 1-6) 3-band EQ with sweepable mids 4 aux sends; pre/post switching on sends 1+2 60mm faders with mute and PFL/AFL solo functions 100 Alesis DSP effects USB audio connectivity with level control Balanced XLR, balanced/unbalanced 1/4†outputs Headphone out with independent level control Switchable Phantom Power It's housed in a live-in Castle flightcase. Feel free to ask any questions. It's not really a practical thing to send so collection is best. Happy to meet up if that helps. Pics of actual unit added. Big price drop before Ebay.
  7. Thanks both. Interesting. At least I've only wasted £4.59 if I don't use it.
  8. Just jumped into the digital world with an XR18. Delivery is 4 weeks away and I am busy watching tutorials. I am going to use an android tablet and external router. Set up will be done by ethernet and use will be a mix of ethernet and WiFi. Mixing Station seems to be the favoured software and I have downloaded that and bought the appropriate license. Looking forward to it with a mixture of excitement and trepidation. The Alto 1604 will be on its way shortly.
  9. You were in the Wiggles? 🙂
  10. VAT is after the Duty so the actual increase will be 30% on a 25% increase.
  11. Cast your mind back to covid and the lack of processesors for amps. I suspect they'll get 10% going into the US and maybe 25% coming into another country. Maybe the UK eventually.
  12. Wasn't Robin Bibi by any chance?
  13. I played a biker festival in Germany, and the support act was a female stripper. Rather awkward when she walked offstage and past us. "Great set" didn't really seem right (or maybe it was). Worst part (for a shy retiring type) was, when we finished. The audience were howling for an encore (from her) and we had to pack up as she gyrated around us.
  14. Double bugger. Used to play his club regularly and saw him many times. A lovely bloke and very kindly complimentary.
  15. Rosalyn by the Pretty Things. Has the bonus of having a founding member of the Stones on it.
  16. Playing the Royal Hall at Harrogate. Dressing rooms were downstairs. Come showtime and we were wandering around without any idea how to get to the stage. We didn't pass anyone painting scenery but everything else was the same.
  17. The SKB FB4 is pretty much the same case. A much better fit for a Precision bass.
  18. Might make it better for metal. 😄
  19. Great. Let's see if we can make that happen.
  20. The Diesel 2x15 is an amazing cab. Was the mainstay of my sound for 30 years or so. Are you collecting? You're not far from me if you are.
  21. Bought 3 John Entwistle Precisions ('53, '61 and '62), and a '66 slab in there, in the mid 80's.
  22. What horrible news, and what lovely words from his sister. Condolences will be pretty meaningless to his family but they are all I can offer at this dreadful time for them.
  23. May I ask whereabouts he lives? I can share locally if there's any chance he's in this area (Portsmouth).
