[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='264930' date='Aug 18 2008, 09:03 PM']*Throws* another £1 coin at Merton towards his Streamline 5 fund![/quote] That makes £3.52 so far - any more donations?

[quote name='sixshooter' post='264706' date='Aug 18 2008, 04:37 PM']As I said guys, I tried to keep it simple! If you want more theory then do what I did 35 years ago and go to college or what appears to happen nowdays spend your life surfing the interblog :brow:[/quote] Alex's first rule is even simpler But yes, your analogy with a bit of added input from Alex makes sense to anyone who needs to know

[quote name='Earbrass' post='264700' date='Aug 18 2008, 04:33 PM']But it's not a single night, is it, if it's an "established venue". I'm 100% on the side of the neighbours here - it's the venue who are being selfish, by not caring about their neighbours as long as they are getting their payment. Well done the neighbours for getting the restrictions imposed. More people should complain more often.[/quote] ...and ruin countless other venues for wedding bands to play at. Good idea!

[quote name='sixshooter' post='264679' date='Aug 18 2008, 04:05 PM']OK, the Amp can be seen like a car engine in that it supplies power, and your speaker like the clutch brakes and tyres delivering the power to the road. If you put a bigger engine in it will work, but your clutch will fail much quicker if you use all the power and the tyres and brakes will fade and you will be replacing parts much sooner than you would like! If the speakers are the same ohms ie 8ohms and 8ohms = 4ohms then the power, (watts) will be divided equally, so if your Amp says 500watts at 4ohms your lowest speaker should be rated greater than 250watts.[/quote] Hmmm. [b]Alex Clabers first rule: [i]You can use any power ouput amp with any power handling cab. If any of these combinations makes bad sounds then turn down and/or stop cranking the bass EQ excessively or damage may occur [/i][/b]

More likely a power supply cap or dodgy power supply in the room you're in, it sounds very similar to somehting I experienced with my 4x8 combo a few months ago - turned out to be dodgy room electrics in the rehearsal room I was in.

[quote name='bilbo230763' post='264551' date='Aug 18 2008, 01:41 PM']I am astonished that any of this matters to anyone.[/quote] In the past I got a bit annoyed but refrained form posting, thesedays I agree wholeheartedly with Ped and your comment - it really shouldn't matter at all!

Prob in the wrong forum, but pedantry aside... ... no idea! I know they did an AH600SM, is the 1200SM is 2x600W power amps in stereo? I bet it's bloody loud!

[quote name='Marcus' post='264416' date='Aug 18 2008, 10:29 AM']I'm considering one of these to take away on business trips etc..... can't find prices on the status site these days....[/quote] Price starts at £1299 for the basic model

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='263838' date='Aug 17 2008, 09:32 AM']Someone on this server has one of the last Groove bodies & that one actually came out of the factory with a graphite neck. Sounds like quite a special instrument![/quote] And someone else has the last "real" wooden necked Groove too. Me! Yesyes yes, pics still missing

[quote name='johnnylager' post='263207' date='Aug 15 2008, 04:26 PM']EDIT: Are you bringing any of these to the bash?[/quote] Yeah, go on

[quote name='BassManKev' post='263181' date='Aug 15 2008, 04:00 PM']can you also ask Rob what his opinions are on the plight of the wrinkled ball sack?[/quote]

It depends how much accuracy I'm forsaking I guess. If it means missing crucial notes then no, accuracy every time. If it means being slightly sloppy and messing up passing notes whilst flailing around in mid air, it's cool

Everything in our sets

[quote name='Sarah5string' post='263083' date='Aug 15 2008, 02:13 PM']When playing live... would you rather stand still and be more accurate (but less interesting to look at from the crowd) or be lively and energetic and a crowdpleaser but in turn sacrifice your accuracy?[/quote] Depends what I'm playing. I try to pull silly faces whatever I do tho

I'll check what's in oth of mine and let you know! I *think* I have Rubys in the 1x15. If you can find any Sylvanias they are bloody great, I had one which I put in the 12-band head I used ot own, loved it and it really growled nicely. Wish I hadn't sold the head with that valve

Ah, if you don't like the V-Type you can always give it to me Def try changing the tubes, both my V-Types break up differently as they have different tubes in them, the 1x15 combo is a lot easier to overdrive than the 4x8.

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='262973' date='Aug 15 2008, 11:16 AM']Where's the pics of your Retroactive & Groove?[/quote] Sorry! Been rather busy this week moving the gf and her daughter into my flat. Will get some nice new high quality Status porn pics taken this weekend

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='262950' date='Aug 15 2008, 10:27 AM']I'm down at the factory again next Thursday so I'll bring back all the rumours and goss then![/quote] Good good. Ask about the 5 string Streamline again for me would you? Cheers!

[quote name='stingrayfan' post='262546' date='Aug 14 2008, 04:32 PM']That's if we're not kicked out for making too much noise.... Now, show us your neck![/quote] You can see my neck on my avatar!
