[quote name='VTypeV4' timestamp='1482785421' post='3202759'] Never tried '88s in my T/V but you shouldn't have issue as the type differences between those and 6550 aren't that distinct these days. I run EHX KT88s in the V4 currently but I've had all sorts in there - my second favourites were a quad of the re-issue Tung Sol 6550s.. If you do, it might be worth having the bias checked although if memory serves, these are fixed (like an old boogie or Hiwatt) bias anyways. Mine had never been modded and ran happily with the PM branded 6550s.. [/quote] Does this mean I can 'plug and play' new valves in my hexa? Oddly, the previous owner removed two of the valves as it was too loud for him. I have them, but didn't want to put them back in unless it was modded in some way.

A warm welcome over there!

Great thread!

Nice, I have never been able to slap and pop very well, so I look on in awe at this lovely lady!

P.s My most favourite baseline (that I played to) was probably travelling without moving, although there is too many to choose from!

Ah yes, I was there too! My perspective was that Stu just grew and grew through the albums, offering something different each time. Just as you nailed a few of his lines, he comes out with more! I loved all of the SZ albums, I think they began to loose something that made them special as people were replaced. So although the later albums still offer a taste, they are not for me... Not really listened to SZ since, although I follow him on Facebook, which now I think about it, is a little weird!!😀

Funny you should bring this up, we have had no stage invaders for ages, then Saturday night, three of them on separate occasions! The last one went wrong though, I moved her to allow someone else up, she took offence and spent the rest of the song staring at me 'ar ya dissin' me?' She cackled, why would I want to do that? Jog on luv.

Bought a stand from Jason, great comm's and fast delivery! Would recommend...

I got bootsy Collins too..

[quote name='6feet7' timestamp='1471698879' post='3115168'] I can't remember which bassist from which metal band said this, but the gist of his playing was to use as many open strings as possible. That way he could stand with one foot on a monitor, left arm in the air pointing at the audience whilst still playing root notes. Has served me well for many years (no good for wgfa though, I'm afraid [/quote] Love it!!

Gigging the Bassman 70 tonight at Maddermarket Theatre in Norwich now I have it back!

All sorted now. Thank you everyone VERY VERY much. What a great forum!

Cheers all you are the best on here!! Great community! 😄

Thanks for that Merton, could work a treat! I have a potential local option, so I will get back to you sharpish!

I have a gig Saturday and have found myself in an unfortunate position of having no cab for my head (been let down on my purchase). Any chance of borrowing a 4ohm cab or combo for the weekend? I live near Ashford Kent.
