Surely no musician wants quiet fans. A bit of cheering and applause is the minimum really.

You sound like one of them experts. We don't like experts these days.

Cats have even bigger egos than singers

I doubt a 500w Elf would be that small. Double the size at least to get a big enough power amplifier plus cooling

That's probably not unlikely. They've started bringing back some of the original Epiphone basses.

Dancing in the dark - Bruce Springsteen

Neon bible - Arcade Fire

Those pickups are a bit hot for my liking

Be quiet and drive - Deftones

What would a 500w Elf offer that the dozens of other solid state 500w amps don't already offer? I'd really like a modern TE SMX amp with the 11 band EQ that is loud and doesn't go up in smoke and doesn't require a crane to shift it. I loved the sound of my old SMX but I blew it up three times and it wasn't loud enough.

You'd have got closer to that bass tone if you kicked the cat

Little sister - Queens Of The Stone Age

My taste in music is not what one would describe as mainstream. Very few people I know like a lot of the same music as me. Rather than seeing it as isolating I've always enjoyed the experience of being in an audience with like minded people at shows. Maybe it's me talking (or typing) b0110cks but maybe there's a connection amongst that audience that couldn't exist in the audience of a band with mass appeal.

Supernature - Erasure

Epiphone make the Grabber and Ripper and a Kris Novoselic signature RD. Epiphone seem to be better than Gibson these days.

Gibson also need to sort out the Thunderbird so that it sounds at least as good as the Epiphone vintage pro

Orange Amplifiers make a 2x12 cab Anyone please make a modular, extendable pedal board so that when it's full I can just buy another section to bolt on. DR Strings I want 130 - 065 four string sets for very low tunings. Some green neons would be nice thanks

Dig - Incubus

Korma Chameleon - Culture Club

That makes sense. If his solo stuff is going to sound this good then I can't wait to hear it.

I like that. It's definitely his very distinctive style but without sounding like Killing Joke. Maybe a bit repetitive but otherwise sounds excellent.

Back to the 90's this morning with a bit of grunge but the Alice In Chains record I never listen to because I forgot how awesome it is. Some of it gets really dark.

Leg of lamb - Queens Of The Stone Age

Slow and low - Beastie Boys

Going blind - Melvins
