I've played to audiences of 7 people (including the bar staff) and over 2,000. Apart from the bigger gig being infinitely more fun, there was no difference in terms of nerves.

What a lovely instrument, and a superb restoration. I had an aching desire to own one of these back in the day, and it hasn't diminished over the years. Following this with interest.

**SOLD** Eden Nemesis NSP115 1x15” cabs, £130 apiece or £240 the pair
Rich replied to Rich's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
One cab now on hold. One still available, at a ridiculous bargain price. 130 quid for a loud and fantastically lightweight 1x15 cab in superb condition? it's a steal. -
Looks soooo much nicer than those yellow things. -
**SOLD** Up for sale are my two Eden Nemesis NSP115 1x15" cabs. Serial numbers 0603N01xx and 0604N03xx would suggest they were made in March and April 2006. One was bought brand new by me later that year from the Bass Centre in London; the other was a direct swap 2 years later for the NSP210 I bought at the same time. See [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/18165-eden-nemesis-nsp115-cabinet/page__view__findpost__p__185886"]this thread[/url] for the actual deal..! Stock image: Larger factory image on [url="http://c1.zzounds.com/media/quality,85/NSP-115USA-75dfe866125212ee296c4d249e9c53bd.jpg"]this link[/url]. I will try to post pics of my actual cabs if requested, but they don't look any different to these! Original specs:[list] [*]Handling: 250W RMS [*]Frequency Response: 38Hz - 18kHz ±2dB [*]Sensitivity: 100dB SPL@1W1M [*]Impedance: 8Ω [*]Dimensions: 24¾" x 17¼" x 16¼" / 630 x 440 x 413mm [*]Weight: 32 lbs. / 14.5 kg [/list] So as you can see, they are small, light and loud! I've been using them either singly or in a pair with my G-B Shuttle 6.0, but my band's not loud and the amp volume has never been past 4, so the cabs have barely ever broken a sweat. The horn has no attenuator, but personally I have never found this to be a problem. If you find it's too bright, it's a simple job to temporarily disable the horn. Aesthetically, they are in excellent condition with no tears to the carpet on either cab. The grilles are neither scratched nor dented. A few light scuffs to the corners and end handles, as you'd expect really. Functionally they are both perfect. They've served me proud, but a downsizing & a need for cash says they have to go. Cash on collection is preferable, PayPal gift is acceptable. Because of their size and the fact that I no longer have the original boxes, they are purely [u]COLLECTION ONLY[/u], ideally from Chippenham/Swindon. I'm prepared to travel within reason, Reading or Bristol for example. PM me for other location queries and maybe we can arrange something. But I will NOT courier. Sorry. I'm asking what I think is a ludicrous bargain price of [b]£130[/b]. This is incredibly cheap so please don't make daft offers. I'm after a sale only, so [u]no trades please[/u]. You KNOW it makes sense. G'wan.

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1431352327' post='2770322'] More recently still I popped into Maplins (does anyone else 'pop' these days?) and they had an offer on their own brand version AAs - which allegedly outperformed Duracell in a recent test of some sort. They are nice blue colour and came in a sturdy box, so that was good start. [/quote] Excellent. Nothing increases battery performance quite as much as a blue casing and a sturdy box

My favourite story about 10cc is from when they were just starting out, and were playing in a crappy social club one night. The MC gets up to introduce them: "Right, well here's a new young band, not my cup of tea quite frankly but anyway... put yer hands together for EYE-OCK!"

[quote name='stubass' timestamp='1430069950' post='2757707'] the mythical massive tray of cheese [/quote] If that's not a perfect album title, I don't know what is. Brilliant gig last night at the Tunnels in Bristol. One of their soul/funk nights, huge sold-out crowd up and dancing from the first note. They nearly brought the roof down when we did Uptown Funk. Wonderful night, best I've had in a loooong Tim.

Everything that uses PP3s gets a Procell (or whatever they're called now) fitted. In the past I've had upwards of two years out of them in my Shuker. Now I change them in all my active basses every year whether they need it or not.

[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1431026762' post='2767121'] Except that is for The Doors. I think the hatred is worsened by the adulation and worship heaped upon them , particularly Morrison. Gah![/quote] Agreed. Pretentious post-beatnik beard stroking yeah-man nonsense. Bleh.

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1431013253' post='2766922'] the singer throws up in the sink He looks really young too.. [/quote] Aww bless. I remember my first pint too

I thought Scouting For Girls was a play on Baden-Powell's 'Scouting For Boys' book title? It is a dreadfully naff name, admittedly. I swear as much as the next docker, but I detest band names with profanity in them (that Anal C bunch being a a prime example). Trying faaar too hard to be controversial. "Look at us, we're being rude! *snigger*". Oh, grow up.

As a side question -- a corollary to the original, if you will -- is there a genre of music that you used to hate, but have gradually grown to admire/like/love? Vice versa, do you now loathe something you used to adore? For myself: back in my late teens, I could not [i]stand[/i] classical music. Or opera for that matter. Or anything even remotely C&W-ish. But nowadays, people like Shostakovich and Puccini and Brad Paisley are among the staples of my musical diet.

[quote name='Drax' timestamp='1430996168' post='2766639'] Blimey IBTL [/quote] I see no need for a lock unless it gets shouty? As long as everyone bears in mind that opinions are like arseholes (we all have one) and that mine is as valid as his, which is as valid as hers, which is as valid etc etc etc, it'll be fine. We're all grownups, right?

Absolutely anything by the Stones. Everything they have ever done. I detest them with a passion and struggle to understand their appeal. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1430993748' post='2766603'] I hate modern-sounding production that pushes everything to 0db and keeps it there. Totally lacking in dynamics and very tiring to listen to. [/quote] Agreed 10000%.
-
[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1430987029' post='2766505'] I wonder what the Ashdown clone is like... I suppose if it bursts into flames it'll prove it's an authentic copy... [/quote] Genuine LOL

[quote name='Floyd Pepper' timestamp='1430855765' post='2765349'] I can't believe that was 34 years ago...... [/quote] Thirty four?? Great. Thank you for making me feel about 90 years old.

That bottom string is 8mm thick. They use thinner cables than that to berth supertankers.

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1430694132' post='2763844'] do they mash the sound up? [/quote] Are there plenty of (Jersey) mids?
-
I actually play quite lightly, thanks in part to my ramp. And I use nice soft nickel strings too. The only time I have had a blistering problem is when I got my callouses wet and softened.
-
[quote name='Coilte' timestamp='1430156657' post='2758493'] The only other thing you can do, besides wiping down the strings after each practice, is to wash your hands before playing. [/quote] The last (only) time I washed my hands before a gig, it softened all my callouses and they wore away in minutes. Even after breaking out the superglue my picking fingers still blistered agonisingly. So, never done it since.
