@Greg Edwards69; Best of, old chap - look after yourself and focus on a smooth recovery. I'll look forward to your first post-treatment gig report.

I like him. The character is harmless, and behind it there's a quietly self-deprecating man with a sense of humour and humility.

It's always "someone"!

NMA have had some great bass players; Morrow, Moose Harris and Nelson being my favourites. Such a great band - pretty much all of their records are excellent, as well as under-rated.

It's how you find out who your mates are.

But you're the guy with a metre and a half of wood in your hand - they'd have to be mental to take you on!

I'm pretty sure that Progressive Vegetarian Grindcore was a thing in the early 2000's.

Sounds a bit like Welsh time - "I'll be there now, in a minute".

I fired the cab up in the rehearsal studio tonight and have some observations: 1 - It's very loud; when compared to my usual cab (Eden 2x15, no tweeter) using the same amp settings it gives noticeably more volume. 2 - Frequency response (or perceived frequency response) is very good; it maintains sweetness in the high end and it doesn't get overly clacky, even with the bass's tone control fully up. 3 - It's chuffing heavy; I've not weighed it, but it's somewhere between monolithic and made of the hearts of collapsed stars. 4 - It's very responsive; even with my Cali76 Bass compressor in use the dynamics are pretty open, and when digging in it moves air around without hesitation, but when playing normally it stays pretty sweet. 5 - The bottom end is big and full but not woolly. 6 - It pairs well with my amp. All in all I'm very happy with how the project has turned out. Cheers, JRK

Talking of pushing air, those ports really do their job. I could feel my shorts flapping when I turned the wick up.

@Greg Edwards69, same here. Hope you get sorted swiftly.

Whew, good job I did this yesterday, eh?!

I think the only things I've bought this year have been a pair of 15" speakers for my old Sunn cab. They sound cool and shift some serious air, so I guess they're my winner.
