The last time I ran an amp bridged into too low an impedance, it got very very hot very very quickly. I'm pretty sure it would have died if I had carried on. I would not recommend it at all.

The Horseshoe, Downend, Brizzle. All 12 of us shoehorned into this not exactly huge pub. God it was hot in there but oh man, what a night. You know how every so often you get one of those gigs where nobody in the band puts a foot wrong all night and everything just works? Yup, one of them. Our new trombonist's first gig and he played a belter, he'd even learned some of the silly dance steps (not that there was much larking-about space ). And without wanting to big my/ourselves up too much, we in the Engine Room were absolutely on fire, grooved our arrses off all night. Best gig I've had in months. Probably in the last couple of years. I want to do it all again tonight now.

If I do ever make it to the show, I am definitely going to take earplugs, cans, and headphone amp. As others have said though, it's the 5-hour round trip (and £70 rail ticket) that puts me off.

I haven't bought a single item of music gear this year. Not so much as a pick. Hoping to put this right with a NAD in the new year though.

Whoa. Nearly triggered my epilepsy there, thanks

Getting my skank on with Train To Skaville this summer. 😎

I listen to an awful lot of prog. I find lyrics are often cringeworthy and for me they get in the way a bit. I prefer the instrumental passages/tunes.

A further edit is required... 2. @Rich's Garden Of Delights - Jabba’s Semi Hollow Fretless (which @Rich will sneak off with while @Frank Blankand @wrinkleygit are busy exchanging handbags at 10 paces whilst @Jabba_the_gut tries unsuccessfully to referee, and will steadfastly refuse to acknowledge responsibility, despite @Frank Blank's repeated threats to keep dropping his strides until the bass is returned). Some basses, an amp, something about strings.

For some reason, I'm not remotely surprised

This is what you need. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F253063067460 Also, it's not true that good replacement knobs 'don't exist'. They do. Unless I'm imagining the ones I fitted to my bass, that is...

Oi I'll have you know it was anything other than puny Have to say though, I'd love to get my hands on a WT800

@Pea Turgh I can definitely recommend the Eden WT amps. I had a WT400 for many years and it was wonderful. They're classics.

I'm a bit late to the party, but this may be of interest... https://circuitswiring.com/20hz-to-200hz-variable-high-pass-filter/

Attendance & Gear List: 1. @Frank Blank’s Acoustic Corner - Godin A4, Rob Allen Mouse, Ibanez SRC6, QSC K12.2, Helix Stomp, HX Edit. 2. @Rich's Garden Of Delights - Shuker custom 5, Tanglewood acoustic 4, EBS Neo 2x12 & probable new amp (tbc) - both basses strung with nickel Elixirs. Possibly some FS stuff, details tbc once it hits the paid Marketplace. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. This is a drill.

This x1000 with knobs on.

It's not the fact that people here are quick with -ve opinions that bothers me. Opinions are like arrseholes, after all. It's statements along the lines of "last night's programme didn't feature any music that was to MY particular taste, therefore the entire show is crap and past its sell-by and should be canned" that get my goat.

I've just decided on my next project. Not sure whether to rackmount it or put it in a stomp though.

I currently have these 4 albums on a fairly heavy rotation. I'd forgotten how superb they were. How the hell can Dazzle Ships be 36 years old???

OMD, Julia's Song

This chap.

That's an excellent idea! Cans and Pandora going on the stuff-to-take list.

+1 the above.
