All I get for 2 clicks on my phone is what 1 click gets.

Too clever!

BbKing playing a strat which has a giant ginger cat for a neck???? I can't un see it. Charlie Watts was the old man in the Rolling Stones, with a regular haircut, check.

Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2025?
Downunderwonder replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
No GAS here. Best purchase, a Delonghi EC885m espresso machine upgraded with Hugo IMS unpressurized filter. Worst purchase. A bad back. -
Peavey put green back lights on the knobs of the new one. Looks cool. Blinds you from seeing the settings. Fail.

It's a single data point but the same BF cab scared me when I gave too big of a twist wanting a bit more loud. So yeah, not at all sensitive but a big amp with a heap of power will make big boom.
-
Sensitivity of speakers can trump wattage applied when It's only 3dB worth of power difference. One time we were playing about with my Trace 1518 and a BF BigBaby. As a 4 ohm load plugged into the one amp the BF was inaudible, like it wasn't plugged in and had to check. It needs a heap of power to get loud.

Trace Elliot - Rescue & Restore (and bargain finds)
Downunderwonder replied to SimonK's topic in Amps and Cabs
Don't even turn it on if those connections are still where they are in that photo. Putting an output up an output is bad news. -
Trace Elliot - Rescue & Restore (and bargain finds)
Downunderwonder replied to SimonK's topic in Amps and Cabs
Does look likely to be toasty inside at that rate. Damn. -
The losing bottom end with raising cab thing is an impossibly difficult meme to kill because....guitarists. G man gets blasted by treble from his amp and can't hear any bass. That's his actual tone that everyone in front of it hears. Same goes for bassists but as logical thinkers we are easier to convince.

If it goes good it's a lot of amp for the money. -

Build a couple of Bill's subs and sell your 1501.

Flipping basses for profit – fair game or not cool?
Downunderwonder replied to Allaboutthebass's topic in General Discussion
I find it distasteful but not against any rules so can't really speak against it. Perhaps the altruistic could all start high and wait for a bite giving all the opportunity to buy at market value. -
Even the headline is terrifying
Downunderwonder replied to Steve Browning's topic in General Discussion
A dozy thing to do but ordinarily one would not come completely undone picking up a chainsaw by the 'blade' You might slice a couple of fingers on the points when it got away away on you but the blade is stationary until you gun it. I am calling BS on the whole thing. It would be a superhuman effort to grasp the chainbar ahead of the drive motor and lift. Like trying to pick up a bass horizontal from the 3rd fret. There is a front handle for that. One handing the saw while operating and using other hand to muck about with the wood and oops/AAAAAAARRRRGGG!!!!!. That I can buy. -
Wood, aluminium, now an ice upright bass

Every note a blue note.
