Lovely! Put the case in the loft and forget about it... Don't sell it!

They look lovely. 250w might not seem like much, but it's 14w more than the TC RH450. *ducks behind rock*

I love Sousaphoneses. Here's the closest I'll ever get to playing one.. impersonating one on a Precision: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6cfwI7dVnI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6cfwI7dVnI[/url]

I know you've checked your junk, but more and more of my notifications are ending up in junk. Maybe they're being filtered off earlier in the process somewhere?

There's a similar thing on Talkbass which works really well, but rather than a popup it displays it in a tool-tip. It's very useful, and the tool-tips are much cleaner and quicker than popups.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1320218166' post='1423782'] Used them "in anger" last night. First impressions are that with the band I was with last night - which has two bassists, me being the "thud" as opposed to the "twang" - they fit in very well. Very easy to play, and although there seems to be a lot of fret-noise when the bass is on it`s own, this doesn`t come through in the mix, and I get a nice thud, which is great as my role in this band is really emphasising the bass-drum patterns. After years of playing Roto Rounds though, these flats feel "wrong" but I`ve got to give them time, and not make any snap decisions. I`m juust going to have to wait until next week to try them in my other band, which is a more traditional punk covers band. I think that will be the deal maker or breaker. [/quote] They're going to change beyond recognition over the coming weeks - try not to get too attached to / disappointed with how they sound and feel at the moment.

Sods. Where are you based?

[quote name='mrtcat' timestamp='1320010689' post='1421338'] This is great stuff guys. I primarily prefer rock over indie but am really open to blues, soul, rnb (the proper stuff not the crap on the radio), funk etc. Staying in the Hilton so walking distance of town and access to metro. Any of you Newcastle dwellers got a gig. Would be nice to support a bcer. [/quote] Hmm.. I'm at South Shields so that's no good. This lot are on at O'Neillss, opposite the central station. [url="http://www.myspace.com/maggierossblues"]http://www.myspace.com/maggierossblues[/url] Never seen them, so I can't vouch for 'em..

As has been mentioned - it depends on what you're interested in. I like The Cluny and The Tyne - there's the Jumpin' Hot Club as well, the Central Bar in Gateshead,.. include the suburbs and the coast there's just loads going on. No matter what you're after, there'll be something for you somewhere. Oh, and welcome to The City of Kings.

*shameless plug* I'll be playing at least one on Nov 26th, breaking my usual embargo on anything Christmassy outside of December.

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1319993623' post='1420969'] I certainly have experienced D Class amps that seemed loud, but also seemed to lack depth or girth in their sound.. [/quote] I agree. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the Streamliner is the first Micro I've played that doesn't lack in that department.

[quote name='ficelles' timestamp='1319981035' post='1420740'] Is it just me? New "vanilla" W7 + IE9 installion... [/quote] FWIW it's fine for me in both IE & Chrome / Iron...

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1319973461' post='1420610'] And the number of watts claimed by the manufacturer may not be wholly accurate. [/quote] This.

In any event, I'm not 100% convinced the new breed of 700w / 900w-ish micro heads actually ARE 700w or 900w...

THE bass player's bass player, IMO. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7pOpokFYgk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7pOpokFYgk[/url]

[quote name='WalMan' timestamp='1319719153' post='1417672'] The URL I have been using is the one YT gives me when I click on Share. Is that not what you get when you do the same, or how do you get at the "watch" URL? [/quote] Just copy the one out of the address bar - that's the usual one. i don't know what the logic is with the 'share' URL...

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1319706151' post='1417382']Quite frankly this new forum is totally broke for certain browsers, IE8, and Opera Mobile are the ones I use [/quote] Out of interest, what specific issues are you having on IE8?

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1319706151' post='1417382'] I get the same thing as you only sometimes it does work..... most of the time it doesn't.[/quote] To be fair, as mentioned above he isn't using a standard YouTube URL.

Personally I think you're being too forgiving, Gareth. I'd be pushing for answers. If what you say is true (and I have no reason to doubt it is), you've been mucked around. S&T have a lot of explaining to do. Yes, your contract is with the retailer, but if you get no joy you have every right to take it along the chain to EBMM. Legally they don't have to deal with you, but in the interests of maintaining good customer relations they should be bending S&T's ear trying to find out what happened, and put a stop to it if they've been doing something they shouldn't.

This is the link you should be using: [CODE] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-6KoGaGVr0 [/CODE] I don't know what this [i]youtu.be[/i] shortened URL thing is... where are getting the link from?

I may be wrong, but I think the OP is referring to the placement of the ad. It does sound a bit odd...

Howdy everyone I've started working with another band, and we got together last night to jam on some tunes acoustically. As ever, the Promethean was a little star. I recorded it all so I thought I'd post a clip here. It's a tentative performance, but I hope it gives an idea of how nice this little box is. http://soundcloud.com/wateroftyne/ibanez-promethean-combo

...and FWIW, it's flying along for me now, and has done for a while. Thanks, Ped & Co! much appreciated.

[quote name='WalMan' timestamp='1319635243' post='1416676'] Eeeeeer...how do I embed YouTube vids now? There used to be a pinned item but I cannot see that, nor immediately find it here (I don't really have time to go through the 23 pages & 450+ posts [/quote] Just paste the whole link in - the magic pixies do the rest.
