a lot would undoubtedly disagree but I don't, I really like some of his songs, but not his recording of them

think you might find it makes in an 8 ohm load, the speakers will be wired in series not parallel, or something like that

not heard Hendrix doing it then?

the venue had better not book Hung Like Hanratty. WARNING, do not play this video if you don't want to be offended

any Bob Dylan song sounds better when covered than the original, I'm can never see what good songs they are when I hear his versions. Bit of a link, Hendrix's covers were always better than the originals

I too use the B1on for varying degrees of overdrive/distortion and EQ (and the tuner), sounds ok to me, in fact I bought a B3 but moved it on, it sounded identical and, although easier to adjust the settings was a lot bulkier

funny thing genetics, I'm an only child too, no one in the family has any recollection of anyone else being left handed before me, if it's true maybe we are on the march (of course it's possible there were but they'd been but been forced to use their right hand), but one of my two daughters is a lefty and one of my grandsons too

us cack handers are taking over the world, maybe. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1563339/Number-of-left-handers-rises-sharply.html

got 100% lefty, the only thing I do right handed is holding a computer mouse, and that, like a knife and fork I taught myself to do because I got fed up with changing sides on shared computers at work

I bowl left handed but bat (and play golf) right handed, in every other respect I'm a lefty, except knife and fork, which I got fed with with changing round at a young age and learnt to do it right handed, which makes me think I probably could have learnt guitar right handed if I'd started out like that, but it was just natural to hold it left handed, never gave it a thought until I realised I was holding it the same way as Macca (started out like that when miming to records with a tennis racket in my bedroom)

my amps aren't too heavy about 13 Kg, an easy one handed lift, but I use an AH 600 at our rehearsal studio and that bugger's heavy, I wouldn't swap mine for a higher output TE, I've never run out of steam with my AH250 so why carry around the extra weight?

I've got one of those Series 6 AH200's which I use as back up for my SMX GP12 AH250, both don't have cooling fans, is this an advantage or disadvantage? the cooling fins get fairly hot after 2 hour gig but not untouchable hot if that makes sense

bang it on Ebay, low start, buyer to collect, cash only, what have you got to lose?

I've been in that situation a couple of times, best keeping out of it, talk about being between a rock and a hard place

have these blokes that shag around got a self esteem problem? most of them can't wait to boast to all there 'mates' about it as well, like we're supposed to be impressed, well I might have been when I was 15

yeah, that thought occurred to me as well

so the only thing left of the original is the body?

to confuse matters further mine hasn't got the Hondo name on the headstock, just an 'H' logo

I stand corrected then, I assumed, wrongly, that they started production in Japan, not the case, having said that my MIJ Hondo is still plywood, I think. Edit, I really must get it back off our drummer, anybody know where I can get a cheap 3 point bridge?

yes, they went down market when they moved production to Korea, I've owned a few Korean Hondo's (mainly because they were lefty's) but they soon got off loaded, still got my Japanese one though, partly because it's not worth a lot but certainly better than the non Japanese models

another recent Hondo thread here @ubit If anybody knows where I can get a cheap 3 point bridge I might revive mine

the neck on mine is very good, best part of the bass, slim Jazz type, I prefer it to my Precision

our drummer sometimes says I'm too loud, how he can tell what it sounds like FOH from behind his kit lord alone knows, anyway I just say, "I've got to be when we've got an animal on drums", he's always complaining his cymbals have cracks in them, "err, have you tried not hitting them as hard?", to be fair most of the time he's no trouble at all, he just turns into a demented demon when you put him behind a drum kit.

that might of been true originally but I don't think many rock bassists lock in with the bass drum, it's more about the feel of the groove of the song, I can never hear the bass drum with all the racket going off on stage, locking in with the drummer means playing a the same tempo and going with the fills on occasions. Playing with just one guitar my job is the give the song definition not just the bass drum IMO of course

I've been giving this some thought, I hardly ever use Amazon, I use Amazon market place, which, I presume are small independent traders, but I mostly use Ebay, again, small independent traders, better prices and usually free postage.
