Not just me then! 😂

Might make your GAS for a voice pitcher a bit lighter....

Helium balloon.

I currently play with a guitarist in one band who can sight read and in another one who knows very little music theory at all. Seems a strange question and kind of assumes that because someone chooses to play a 6 string instrument they will somehow all have the same amount of music reading ability. Unless I have missed something?

When was that? Summer, maybe 67?

A quick Google finds this, from the Quilter folks It is "safe". Our amps are protected from load faults or opens. However, since this is pushing the amp beyond its normal rating, it is POSSIBLE (although rare) to encounter overcurrent limiting on loud peaks, which sounds like harsh clipping. We haven't heard anyone actually complain however - speaker impedance tends to rise somewhat when pushing the power hard enough to reach this limit. Normally, the amp gently reduces power when pushed too hard for too long. If this peak clipping were to happen anyway, the trick would be to lower the Master by degrees until it clears up, which keeps the peak currents within normal range. Thanks for all this, men. Next step, putting one of my SC up for trade.

But that doesn't take into account the GAS for the Two10....

Thank you both. So, another daft question, what are the exact dangers of running a head that says 4ohm minimum down to 2.67ohm? Clearly something will potentially give but is it the speakers or the head? I should know all this stuff by now!!

Thank you. So perfectly safe! Looks like my way forward....

Amp-wise I use one of two Trace Elliot heads or Quilter Bass Block - all say 4Ohm min..

I hadn't thought of that but it sounds like a plan. If it were the switchable Two10, what would 12Ohm plus 8Ohm do? ( elementary lack of knowledge here, sorry folks...)

I have two BF Supercompacts. I find one is enough for almost every situation I find myself in but occasionally adding the second for the headroom/sheer decadence etc is nice. However, I find myself increasingly interested in how a Two10 would sound as my 'go to' cab. I have a One10 and like it. Rather than buy a Two10 - seems silly to have all those cabs kicking around - I am considering offering up one of the Supercompacts for a trade with a Two10. But the question is - for those extra headroom moments could I pair the Two10 with the remaining Supercompact? I believe I'd need the switchable cab and use it at 12Ohms but they compatible? Or would it be the end of the known universe? Anyone done it? Muchas gracias!

Hah, not EMG at all but were Aguilar DCB G3 soapbars which have a bar magnet so work nicely with a 5. I replaced the EMGs with these. Sounded nice, too - an improvement.

Yes. I'll have a look a bit later.

I put some EMG pickups into a Hohner B2V that were a drop in fit - I imagine they are a similar/same size? I can rummage through my emails and try to find which model.

^This x 100^ Put your 4 string bass(es) away and use the 5 for everything. You'll soon work out little shortcuts to the B string and be hovering around frets 5-7 where before you'd be fretting on the lower frets of the E. You can then make the choice of where to play notes according to what sort of timbre you want . The extra low notes are the bonus, even though they start off being the attraction. The, if you feel you can't get on with your Jack V, sell it to me as I'd like one muchly

Following a recommendation on here I have used Eurosender to ship a bass to Holland and some valuable plants to southern Ireland. The specifically say they will insure musical instruments, they are cheap and - after 2 goes - seem efficient and reliable.

Apparently so. If you scroll back it seems 90% of the pics are the same 3 people. 😄

That non-slip rubber grip mat stuff would do it. I had a similar problem with some of those very light D class heads, this solved it.

That's The Way I like it. I still don't have any immediate means of recording

I can see a 'get wood for your knob with Marcus' ™®© range being launched soon.

Well, I collected it this morning. Managed to get it into the house by myself somehow without damaging my back or the house. Switched on - noisy fan, no biggie. Had a rudimentary fiddle with the knobs and got a really nice sound pretty quickly. Input gain on tube and solid state stages both on 3 o'clock and combined. EQ pretty much flat and engaged. Glad I left the 4x10 behind, can't see ever needing it as this baby is LOUD!! Master vol at No. 1 or 2 will probably do it £100 well spent, I'd say.

Bought a pedal from Mark in the most straightforward of transactions. A pleasure doing business

I always liked to think that I bore a strong resemblance to Burt Reynolds when I was younger, especially when he wore a beard. No-one else saw it, unfortunately, but I was told a number of times when I was in my 20s that I looked like Peter Sutcliffe. 😖 Doh!
