[quote name='molan' timestamp='1399819825' post='2447971'] I had a Walkabout for while - didn't get on with it at all and sold it very quickly. Sounded a bit flat and wooly to me, especially in combo format [/quote] Yeah - the Walkabout doesn't really shine in the Scout combo.

[quote name='PauBass' timestamp='1399795535' post='2447615'] I've always read really good things about these amps and many times I've thought about getting one but I'm worried those 300 watts are not enough, I play in rather loud band Any ideas on how it compares, volume and tone wise, to heads like the Aguilar TH500? I'd run this amp through a Barefaced Super Twin [/quote] I have no experience with the TH500 so I can't comment on that, Most of my bands are pretty controlled volume-wise, but I've done deps in loud bands with the Walkabout, and as long as I've brought enough cone area along (2 x Bergantino 2x10s at the time), it's never struggled. It's just given out an honest, fat, analogue punch with a proper backbone. Don't forget it's a conservative 300 watts - it's 340w into 4ohm. It'll also put 480w into 2ohm. That said, it you crave clean headroom, don't bother.

[quote name='Sean' timestamp='1399772062' post='2447547'] The awesome Mesa Walkabout is AB. Small amp, huge heft. I've run mine through a Barefaced BT2 and it's incredible, it has so much heft. [/quote] Yeah. Once you've tried a Walkabout, the others feel a bit 'diet'.

I assumed this thread was about the Eurovision Song Contest.

Yeah. IMO a post like this based on one failed attempt at a email communication is a bit harsh.

Have you tried putting flats on your P and palm muting? It won't help if you're after a rich, resonant DB tone, but if you want a nice fat muted DB sound, it'll get you close when it's in the mix.

What kind of stuff are you playing?

I'm having a chat with him too...

Say hello to my pal Peter Donegan. He's on the bill too.

Lots of Bass Direct chat [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?app=core&module=search&section=search&do=search&fromsearch=1"]here[/url]. Edit: Link's not working - just go up to search and search topic titles for 'bass direct'.

Why not Facebook?

[quote name='lee4' timestamp='1398889397' post='2438783'] IMO the flats are way better. The tone is more "rounded",and the little lick that you threw in sings out better. [/quote] Yip - I love flats. They don't just do 'thump'.

Here's a recording I did last night using a little Lexicon interface thingy... https://soundcloud.com/wateroftyne/sets/1971-fender-precision

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1398853226' post='2438197'] I think the internet breeds certain time wasters who dream of being in a band but can't actually play/organise/do anything as they don't put the effort in. Good old wanted posters used to cause less fuss. [/quote] Don't trust the Internet.... Get out there and talk to people. Get to know them. Get to know their peers. That's the best way to connect with like-minded people.

Gareth - there is an element of truth to your theory: City centres are transient places. Most of the good stuff goes on in the suburbs and satellite towns where musical relationships develop over years. Newcastle is a big town, and it has a lot going on around the fringes. You just haven't found it.

Cheers, Kenny!

Phew... I thought you were going to post a picture of Mrs. WoT.

It's been done - general concensus is even if it was available in the UK, it's still not very good :-)

Hi everyone My old band had a get-together for old times' sake last night 'cos the singer is moving to foreign climes. We haven't played for a few years, but apart from a couple of blips, it was pretty much like riding a bike.... lots of fun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k4m8OLhL8k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUOH8tSLa20 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nm9p3pPqq7s

Here's a clip from my gig last night where I used the H115, on loan from its soon-to-be owner. I LOVE this cab. So fat and authoritative. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUOH8tSLa20

Yep - lop the last digit off the SEK price, and that's your approximate GBP price.

Lovely! You're in for a treat. I'm hopefully about to place an order for an S212. Then I'll have a single S112 for most of my gigs, and an S212 for the bigger stuff :-)

I use [url="http://www.stablehost.com"]Stablehost[/url], but you're going to get a million different recommendations, all of which are perfectly valid.

Yeah - FWIW, I managed to record two 45-minute sets at 720 / 30fps with a decent set of rechargeables. It would probably have kept on going for a while, too.

Hmmm... if you're using video, make sure it's set to 30fps. If it's set to 60, it'll shut down after 10 minutes, IIRC. As you seem to be using audio only, I'm stumped.
