BC threads frequently expand on the original subject matter, and drift OT. What's different about this one, I wonder?

A rather extreme interpretation, I think..?

I agree 100%.

FWIW, it was initially people sharing their thoughts. It only turned into bickering when objections were raised.

Until it violates any rules, it's whatever the populace of BC want it to be.

The LBGS isn't a charity. It's a commercial venture, and like any other people are free to venture an opinion on it.

I think anyone involved with the show would be foolish to discount the opinions (perceptions?) of those who chose not to go.

OK - on second listen, I’ll concede that it’s maybe an unsympathetic mix. In any event, it made me switch it off fairly quick, and I love the tune.

A little closer to home for me, but Lindisfarne had a single founder member for a couple of years recently, but he retired and his place was taken by another original founder member. It's going well for them - they're having a bit of a live resurgence.

JAYSUS... those vocals! Make him stop!

Absolutely - that's what I'm getting at, really :-)

Of course. Personally speaking, I've never been to one of these because I imagine the noise is just relentless, and it's a long way to travel to not be able to hear anything. If the organisers could guarantee some sort of noise management, I'd definitely come along.

The most important thing is the reason why they wouldn't consider going, I think. IMO they're still valid comments.

For example..?

I dunno. I see a common theme of too much noise, for starters.

1. Same DI, just as good 🙂 2. On the WB-100? Just like any other tube head, so : Set it to standby Power it up Wait a minute or so If you're ready to play, switch it out of standby, wait for the logo to change to green, and off you go When you're not using it, switch it back to standby When you're ready to pack up, switch it to standby, wait for the logo to switch to red, and power it down All this is basically to preserve tube life.

Eagles & Steely Dan are still pulling the punters in.

Yeah, when he goes high it sounds like a DI'd nylon strung 6-string guitar from the 1990s.

Fantastic news 🙂 Leszek is a very conscientious guy. Buy with confidence.

I’m exhausted just reading that. I do whatever I usually do through the day, then put my stuff in the car and go to the gig.

It's only happened to me once, but it still hurts to this day.

HandBox WB-100. 120 watts of valve heft - yes, heft - in a small, relatively lightweight box.

IMO they look like a Skegnesse rip-off.
