bloody hell, I've got a TE 300 watt combo, but I think they forgot the anti gravity treatment for it, I've only used it once at a gig before deciding my back couldn't take the punishment, just got hold of a TE 1x 15 300 watt cab, I'm going to have to renew my search for a TE head after reading this thread, you bastards

[quote name='Me And My Bass' timestamp='1455112567' post='2976006'] Anyone played one of these with an extension cab other than a fender one? Tempted by the SWR 18" on sale here, placed under one of the rumbles. [/quote]I use a TE 1 x 15 (weighs 26kg so not too bad, and TE handles are excellent) under the Rumble 500, exactly the same width so looks neat, and more rock and roll than an angled stand I was using, I've only used it once, it did give a lot more headroom, I've never run out of volume without the ext cab but have been close. (our drummers a bit of an animal). I too have a 300 watt Trace Elliot combo and the Rumble is not as loud as that (Trace Elliot watts are twice as loud as anybody else's), but it's just too bloody heavy to cart around

I've just realised I'm up to 4 now I've bought a Squier VM Jazz, mind you 2 of them I only keep because they're not worth selling, a battered Hondo and an Encore that I found leaning against a dustbin

I'm surprised any music shops are left open who don't do internet sales, people use the internet because it's cheaper (and more convenient a lot of the time) so they cut costs be employing spotty faced youths on the minimum wage who don't know what they're talking about, being a lefty I can't remember the last time I went into a music shop, oh yeah I can, wanted a combo stand, neither one had what I wanted so I got one from Amazon. Whenever I even look into the window of one all I see are cheap starter guitars and basses but am still amazed at how much money is tied up in stock (I assume they have to pay for it when it's delivered and not when they sell it) I used to run a newsagent they're all closing down as well, and pubs, if there's insufficient demand, it means they're not wanted and they'll close down,

11800 with headphones, doesn't mean a thing, my hearing is shagged have to have hearing aids but my drop off is around the 3-4k hz, in fact the tone disappeared at these frequencies then came back again, hearing damage is not just about high fequencies, the test twincam mentioned is a far better test for hearing test for damage

I had a stingray, then bought a P, sold the stingray kept the P, just couldn't get the sound I wanted out of a Ray, that's just my experience anyway. Saw a rock covers band in the local pub the other week, he was playing a Ray, it sound absolutely awful, God knows what his settings were but all I could hear was clang clang clang with a bit of rumble thrown in, I felt like telling him, but just left he'd probably just think I was an interfering twat and ignore me, maybe it's what he wanted to sound like, takes all sorts, completely ruined Radar Love for me

[quote name='Donnyboy' timestamp='1454522529' post='2970514'] MMM we'll see but maybe this is just about it for the Mighty Quo. I've had the pleasure of meeting both Rhino Edwards (finger player, therefore poncy) , the new bassist who joined 30 years ago, and also Alan Lancaster ( pick player, therefore proper) the original bassist [/quote]head nail hit, they were never the same with Rhino on bass, a fine player I believe, but just not right for Quo, although Quid Pro Quo and Heavy Traffic were good albums

[quote name='mrtcat' timestamp='1454519051' post='2970457'] Was lucky enough to see them last February at a private 70th birthday party as a surprise for a friend of my Dad's. Apparently the birthday boy's wife paid just short of £300k for 45 mins. Worth every penny though. Bloody brilliant [/quote]£300,000 for a 45 minute set, no wonder they can afford to retire

one of my favourite lines, is "Before Punk all we had was Status Quo" when talking to younger mates who are slagging them off because all they know about is there god awful covers albums and that bloody awful record, (the start of their decline) 'rocking all over the world', not quiet true but you should know what I mean, their albums up to Rocking all over the world just rocked. Saw their original line up tour a couple of years ago, brilliant, shame they fell out with Alan Lancaster (one of the bassist who made me want to play bass) but I suspect he could see the way it was going

it says he's had 6 inquiries, is that people already telling him the obvious?

Excellent, good comms and cab arrived very quickly and as described, what more could you want?

Excellent, good comms and cab arrived very quickly and as described, what more could you want? I did this before I found his other feedback doh!

all these female singers remind me of X factor contestants, overproduced computerised blandness, where's the balls? or maybe all x factor wannabees sound like today's singers, or maybe all the best songs really have been written, or maybe I'm just too bloody old

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1454231895' post='2967597'] Boo! One of those who was literally, 'what's not to like?'. [/quote] the floral dance? but yeah couldn't help but like him he even made the Eurovision song contest bearable

Radio 1 isn't aimed at anyone over 30 is it? so most people on are here aren't supposed to like it, we've turned into our parents, "they don't make music like they used too", the only stations I listen too are on DAB, Radio 6 and the oldies station Gold (only available in limited parts of the country) and that's in the car, when I'm at home it's spotify. Mind you getting rid of DJ's would be an mostly be an improvement on all music stations (I do like Mark Radcliffe though), another plus for spotify

I've quiet enjoyed growing old(er) Wife left me, kids off my hands. financially secure, band going well, the only trouble is you're nearer death

the marshall MB450H, I had the combo version with ext cab, which took it down to 2 ohms, seriously loud good sound IMO, I only got rid of it because it weighed so much

if I had to stop gigging I'd stop playing bass (not likely at the moment), IMO it's not much fun on your own, I also do open mics and the occasional gig playing acoustic guitar and singing with my partner on a small drum kit, now that is enjoyable playing on my own, but without open mics the incentive wouldn't be there. Guess I'm just a whore for applause :-)

without exception all my favourite bass players play a 4 that's good enough for me, I don't even like playing below low G, tend to play the octive

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1453575576' post='2960752'] It won't die, but it will never be as popular as it was back in The 60s & 70s.. Blue [/quote]no, but it will become a minority movement, mostly based on nostalgia, like all the other forms of music and entertainment that were popular in their day, in fact it's getting that way now really

cheers, I did wonder if that was the reason, shame it appears in my notifications box though

why do I get this error when clicking on items for sale, in notifications, sometimes?,
