Anything with any slap in it

Including one banned former member!

From experience the good nature can turn nasty if anyone chooses to not participate in the shenanigans. It's pretty much the main reason I stopped playing at uni.

Go Your Own Way. Despite the rest of the band thinking it's a banger our singist despises Fleetwood Mac and despite our 4/5 rule won't even entertain the possibility of us doing it.

That's a real shame, you all sounded fantastic.

No, the Elf has a minimum load rating for speakers of 4ohms. As I understand it, having nothing plugged in effectively means a load of infinite ohms, which is greater than 4 This is the case in general for solid state amps, but is a definite no-no for tube amps.

If it has to be spent frivolously then I'm getting one of those Harley Benton fretless Jazz basses. If I can use it for something else it's going towards paying off my Barclaycard.

They may have, I think the Two10S was £750 the last time I looked but I could be mistaken. Inflation's a pain in any event.

They need to update the text though as they've just blatantly copied the Four10 page.

I mostly listen to Spotify, but if there's a particular band I want to give real cash money to I use Bandcamp.

In general I don't think I'm that bothered about a lot of things. I think I would draw the line at one of those sparkly Stingrays though, and relicing can go too far, but there's not a lot that would put me off trying any bass.

At this point I'm just going with witchcraft as the answer.

I use mine with a Barefaced Two10 (which they suggest is the equivalent of a "good" 4x10) in a band with drums, guitar and keys, and I've never got the volume knob past halfway, so I reckon you'd be fine.

Yeah, I bought mine as a backup but I have a crisis of indecision every gig as to whether to use it instead of my ABM, so much so the Ashdown has more or less been gathering dust since the spring.

I have nothing but good things to say about my TE Elf, it sounds amazing and I've never even come close to pushing it hard - in fact I usually get asked to turn down!

Shouldn't do, but if anything needs fixing Ashdown won't charge you a lot to do it.

I could hear it fine and I wasn't in my own monitor – I'd have left the amp in the car otherwise.

At The Loft in Cleckheaton near Bradford last night. The band have played here before but it has had a change of ownership since last time so instead of being greeted like returning friends we got the usual indifference any other hand would get. Ho hum. We had to provide our own PA and managed to provide the services of a relative of our drummist to do the sound for us and it sounded mint. Despite turning down the volume on the monitor me and our keyboardist shared my ears are still ringing this morning, so possibly time to invest in some hearing protection for next time we're in such a large place. First set wasn't brilliant but went down OK. We all made a few mistakes but nothing too serious. I got distracted by watching a trio of young women dancing enthusiastically at the front and their attempts to fend off the advances of a similar sized group of drunken lads who were trying to pull them. The second set was much better and we had most of the place up and dancing to the end. Plugged my ABM in for the first time since April, DI'd through the PA as well as going through through my Two10S, and it sounded awesome. I'm a bit broken this morning after helping to get all the PA stuff out last night, but a gentle morning of Christmas shopping beckons.

Mine is dominated by tracks I play with the band. I'm seriously thinking of setting up a separate account for that just so it doesn't skew my end of year lists.

Looking at your day list on Spotify (just search "daylist", it's great/weird) gives you an insight of the many, many sub-sub-genres there are out there.

I'm guessing to the person who wants that it might be a price worth paying given its supposed rarity, but for those of us in the real world that really is an eye-watering price.

Off to The Loft in the heaving metropolis of Cleckheaton on Saturday. Looking forward to lugging stuff up stairs!
