It works fine if you go to the site from a straight link, only get the issue when going via Google and Bing - all fine when from alternate search engine DuckDuckGo. Looks like the search engines have been fooled by a dummy website.

Those of you wondering/concerned about the cost of travel to London - if you book train tickets early enough, it can be very cheap. I've bought tickets from London to Birmingham for a fiver before now.

On the subject of searching, if you are within a thread and want to search within that thread, then the results page it gives is just the single thread, and all you seem to be able to do is click on the thread and you're back into the start of the whole thread - no lsiting of the posts within the thread that matched your sarch terms.

I would look in [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showforum=26"]this forum[/url] - maybe repost in there too.

Yeah, it's tricky - save decent songs for an encore that you might not get, or dig out some old crap you've not practiced for ages and leave a bad impression - either way you're stuffed. I always liked David Gedge of the Wedding Present's way of handling it. At the end of the last song, he'd say "Thankyou very much, we're the Wedding Present, we don't do encores".

Forgive me if I'm being stupid, but isn't that a normal ported cab - i.e. direct radiator rather than a horn, but just with a tapered port? EDIT - doh - it's not a tapered port, just a trick of the photo.

I went to see them at St Albans. They played the whole of the Babbacombe Lee album, which I must admit was superbly played, but frankly isn't my favourite Fairport stuff. They also played a lot of new songs in the second half, but wrapped up with a few faves. Not the most enjoyable gig I've seen of theirs (having done various gigs as well as several Cropredys inc one of the older ones when Robert Plant did a surprise appearance). Best moment of the night - Simon Nichol stopping a song a few bars in 'cos he'd forgotten to put his glasses on... rock 'n' roll, eh? Must admit I never really used to like Ric Sanders, but he's grown on me. Still not a great fan of Maart though, so Chris Leslie is fine by me

There's always the stick on luminous dots as well....

Giblin played on the Joan Armatrading UK tour last year, as I saw him/her/them at St Albans.

I got a spruce topped Kala U-bass - loads of fun! Did have to suggest and order it myself though...

2 too for me!

Yep - even a cheapo Aldi special!

To be honest if you can screw wood together you can do one. Just get a timber merchant to do the cuts for you, so you'll end up with everything nice and square - then it's just a matter of assembly. You'll need something to cut the hole for the driver though.

I should say that I had my hands on this beast for a short while, and it's lovely. Sustain that goes on and on and on, and really "alive" feeling. With the vintage tone filter backed right off, it almost gives out the sound/vibe of when you pluck one of the low strings inside a piano - really resonant. With the VTF engaged, you can get some more trad sounds from it too. Didn't have time to play with the pickup options or other knobbage, though.

From looking at an image of the rear panel it wouild appear that they don't switch, and so I imagine the UK ones have a different transformer to cope with our mains voltage. I looked into getting one of the (similar specced) Crown Drivecores from the States because they're so much cheaper, but they are the same, and I was advised that using a step down transformer is not recommended for power amps.

Wholeheartedly agree with the comments above. Over the years the for sale section has been littered with "I ordered this custom 5 string but I now find that 5 strings are not for me" ads. Is purple rawk enough? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=100880&hl=dean"]A known good 'un for £220[/url].
