a 2x10 and a 15" Not for me... but I would I wanted to. Why would ya want to?

I reckon it equates to a a great big box.. The bigger the box, the smaller the port you put in it unless you want to smash yer winders. I once cracked my bedroom windows putting a 100w solid state head through a 20" odd PA speaker. I dunno how. But I did. Bbbbbbrrrrrhh..... crack. The window was open though. And the frame was rotten.

They're just either arlarse or jealous... tbh, wtfi TBH? my 1212L is the best cab I've used. There's no discussion any more and there are cabs and cabs down at our rehearsal studio. Nothing great like. But theres some old 2x15s, a coupla 15"s, a few old 15"s, and I've turned up there with a couple of Acme 2x10s together with a BIG (1.2kw) power amp (that's good BTW) . We're all agreed. The 1212L is the sh*t. It hangs in the mix. drummers love it and let you turn it up way too loud...

play the gueetar... palay the blues... or play some jazz...

If I had a torch and a bonfire for everyone who said this sh*t I\\\'d be be in prison.

WHO is giving Schroeders the stick? Line em up! mines an odd orange colour but it kicks F*CKing arse.

I'm really not sure about the chinese ampeg stuff... they had their problems with the PCBs being botched out there and have now moved their whole production line? I've spent £100s getting ampeg stuff brought up to spec in parts and labour (and that's all been "US" built)... at least that worked when I bought it though Although - now you've got it fixed it'll be fine. As my man who fixes this stuff says (despite being a lover of quality) it's decent stuff, it's just built sh*t. But then he's not got a good word to say about anything other than Mullard and Powersoft. Oh, early Sansui (for hifi) Leeds built Celestion, good pioneer, yamaha and some other stuff I've not even heard of are ok too... amcron, uk built carlsbro etc. Peavey stuff doesn't break but sounds sh*t... At least the ampeg stuff gets a mention and he'll fix it rather than you having to sling yer hook. If yer lucky. Ampeg stuff comes into it's own when it's been tweaked a bit.

never played with a LM... I don't really think of an amp being heavy unless its uncomfortable to carry more than 100m... or up and down stairs... for which weight isn't the main problem really unless it's a big valve amp.

little bit of switch cleaner! (if you're naughty, use a wd40 straw)

I've removed fender factory fitted bushes before to find a bit of masking tape wrapped on them. So that's what I've done since.

I've got a deluxe fender bridge... like this... Which I've got for sale (although I've not added to my ever growing list of stuff to shift ) It should be a drop in replacement on a 51 P bass. Yours for £30 + postage

I'd like to know too. I saw a photo of an ampeg one somewhere but I've never found any for sale.

I am from Crosby, although I now live in Nottingham. What's Wallasey like, I can't say I've ever been there. I went to New Brighton a few times as a kid. Usually on a tip off that they had some Star Wars figure rarity in Toys R Us

There's a long thread on this [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=72005"]here[/url] - a thread that seems to re-happen every few weeks. I don't see what the point is here - other than that your gf is making a mistake.[/quote] Aye, I know My point is - she's theoried up her own arse. And that she can't be the only one in the world who is. Also, the programmatic way she's been taught music and music theory DOES limit her creativity. In fact, musical "creativity" as I see it has been drummed completely out of her. She can't play a note other than by muscle memory or sight. In other words, she can sight read piano to grade 7 but to her eternal chagrin (being a true cocken-ey) cannot play along with any Chas n' Dave.

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='702963' date='Jan 6 2010, 03:40 PM']I've never known theory to get in the way of creativity. In fact I'd say some knowledge of theory improves the chances of creativity occurring.[/quote] That's two sides of the same coin though innit. "Rules" can help formulate new ideas more quickly, but they can become dogma. I argue with my girlfriend (grade 8 theory) that it's possible to play any note with any chord and make it sound harmonious. She argues till she's blue in the face that you can't - despite me repeatedly asking her to pick any note / chord, watch me play a run or melody which includes said incongruous note over that chord, and then tell me it sounds out of key when it doesn't. But then, she don't know the blues
