You can't have the precious things of the shop.

The Bristol branch moved recently to a location with no parking. The basses are now in the same room as the guitars. When I wanted to try a couple US P basses, they gave me a barely audible amp right next to some old bloke playing a guitar through a much louder amp. I turned up the bass amp so I could just about hear it and the salesman immediately told me to turn it back down. As I got up to leave salesman asked if I liked the instrument, I told him I didn't know since I couldn't bloody hear it

The opening riff from Gardenia by Kyuss. Always the first thing I play when I switch the amp on.

Thanks. That's a lot of info but I think it all makes sense in my swede. Which tube preamp are you using?

Would any 350w + power amp do the job or is there such a thing as a bass power amp?

Last night I ran the Le Bass preamp in to the Orange effects return and it sounded so much better than running it in to the front end of the Orange. Maybe what I really need is just a power amp rather than a bass amp

I can never understand why people choose to film gigs on their phone. It looks rubbish and sounds worse. I prefer to leave my phone at home or in the car and enjoy the show while I'm there. I've seen people trying to video gigs with their phone get angry with people who dare to mosh or dance and ruin their video.

Phones at gigs do suck. One of the good things about a really lively mosh pit is no one can hold up their phone. I suspect tonight's Discharge gig will be a phone free experience.
