Are these slight differences I tone ever going to be noticeable in the mix with a band? I've been at gigs where the bassist has put down one bass and picked up a completely different one and it wasn't noticeable in the mix -
Tone isn't in the wood. Tone comes from the balls. That's just science

I've got a 30 year old amp which is very dusty inside and has a couple crackly knobs. My plan is to open it up, use an air duster to remove the dust and then a little contact cleaner carefully sprayed on the back of the knobs with a cloth to stop it going over everything else. Does that sound reasonable?

There was a lot of good prog (Rush, Pink Floyd) but some of it was just ruined by trying to fit everything in one song. That's why I'm sure the new Honda Civic Type R was styled by an ex prog musician, they put in every feature they could think of.

There's sections in that song which are really good but as a whole piece it's so disjointed and in places, bloody awful that it's just not a good song. Some of it is weird for the sake of being weird.
-
It definitely makes a whole lot of sound. It's really loud

This is what I've got. It just says GP12SMX on the front and 4001on the back.

Mariah Carey. Twenty seven different notes in every single word. I have a theory that they sing like this to avoid holding any note long enough for you to hear that they're never actually hitting the right notes.

I like the Beholden To The Riff channel. It's all doom and stoner metal themed. Great breakdowns of songs, something for all levels, nice tips and tricks and good gear reviews.

I like how I can pick through the string and let the picks flex give a nice consistent attack.
-
I used to like really heavy picks with no flex but the more I use them the more I like a thin, flexible pick. Dunlop Tortex 0.66 are my favourite

I'd just seen an advert for an amp which said it was recently serviced and was just curious.
-
What would be involved in servicing an amp with tube preamp and solid state power amp? Is it worth getting done?
-
If you play regularly in different tunings it's nice to have one set up for each tuning.

I could imagine they could be good if he wasn't absolutely destroyed. I know he had a severe drink problem though.

I saw The Fall at Glastonbury. My mates kept going on about how awesome they'd be. The band were OK but Mark E Smith was bloody awful. He was absolutely wasted when he came on stage. whizzed himself during the first song and couldn't sing. He wandered around the stage messing with the bands instruments as they played. The man was a mess. Disappointed was an understatement.

I saw Deftones in 1996 at Bristol Anson Rooms and they were brilliant. An hour and a half of non stop energy, one of the best gigs I've been to. Saw them again about ten years ago and the band were good but Chino couldn't sing. Not sure if it's drug related but the guitarist recently came out as a flat earther and general conspiracy theorist.

I was disappointed by Doyle from Misfits a couple years ago. Saw his solo band a couple years earlier and they were awesome. I was wondering whether it was a come down for him playing for a hundred at The Fleece in Bristol a few days after playing to 10,000 people with Misfits Machine Head were also disappointing. They played a very average 3 hour set and it was very obvious that the band hated the singer. They split a few weeks later. Sham69 were also disappointing. Mostly because there wasn't a single member of the original band. It was like an average covers band.

Cheers. Sounds like it's worth going for. It's a great deal I've been offered.

Does anyone have experience with a Trace Elliot GP12 SMX amp and 1048H cab? I can't find any info about either. I think they were made in the 90's but that’s about all I know. I'd be using them for metal so loud, low tunings and lots of fuzz sometimes. Would they be good for that? I currently have an Orange Terror 500 (the old style) and OBC212 isobaric cab, Would the TE setup be better with a band? Would the Orange head and TE cab be a better combination?

For individual pedals I'd recommend buying used rather than budget new pedals. That way any you don't like you can sell on without losing money. You might find that you hear a great pedal used by one of your favourite bassists or in a YouTube video which sounds amazing but then plug it in to your bass and amp and it sounds completely different. Can't go wrong with anything by Earthquake Devices though.
