£4.5k to spend on GAS

[ped]

...that's right, a gas boiler. To think of the basses I could have bought instead, but I guess warmth is OK. Luckily I had some savings so we could have the old system replaced entirely, which was on its last legs.

 

It would be good if some of you could say some nice things about it

Looks like a great and effective way to get rid of your GAS. 

I bet it's a pain to lug to gigs though, and at 46dB you'd need at least a couple!

You'll never ever need to change the strings

The Logic Max Combi2 C35 was made back when they were good, before QC went down the tubes.

Looks like it will be good for Metal

It's a nice colour and has been installed neatly.

4k5..?  I spent less than a quarter of that on an accumulateur water tank, 220l, with a heat-pump in its head. It runs off-peak, about 4 hours every other night, set to 50°C, and consumes 750W to do so. It has 2.5kW elements, but I've not connected them at all, it's just the heat-pump, s'all. It supplies showers, bath and washing-up for our household of three, for a daily running cost of less than 2p (so £7/year...)...

 

 

 

Edit : Apologies; I didn't realise that this was for central heating, and not just for domestic hot water, so no comparison. No piped gas here, though, so I'll keep the wood-burning insert and a nice warm dressing gown.

Looks great and warmth is good, so probably money well spent! I’m sure it will save you money on running costs, so a NBD will be just around the corner!

 

I don’t have GAS….rural Gloucestershire so oil only!

What does it weigh?

I see the copper piping to get rid of any unwanted noise - nice touch. And the white will fade to a lovely cream after a few years. Maybe swap out the white control cover for tort?

[ezbass]

Looks like a nice installation and it'll pay you back in efficiency/reduced bills, pretty quickly. Is it as exciting as a new bass? No, but you've gotta keep the family warm or they'll set light to one of your basses to achieve the same effect. 🔥

Does it play like butter get the butter warm enough to spread easily?

[Graham56]

Jaco only needed 18kW

[TheGreek]

Still no real replacement for heating our homes without burning fossil fuels.

They were so much better when they were the National Radiator Company.

Lovely bit of kit

(but how did it come to £4.5k? our new boiler was about half that)

The old system needed replacing entirely, which consisted of a high pressure non-combi boiler and various tanks etc. neighbours had the same done a few years ago which didnt coast that much but the plumber assured me that mines better so I can remind them all the time and ‘everything’s gone up m8’

aye, not as cheap as they used to be. Mine can do this though

 

[EBS_freak]

Does it djent?

[mr4stringz]

I see it came with the OHSC.

[ahpook]

One huge advantage over a bass.

 

By law, this one comes with a full-set up

Looks like a nice tidy job and it’s worth a bit more for a good brand like you have, did you get a 5 or 10 year warranty 

[JazzyJ]

Neat install, saves you from resorting to burn your bass to keep warm.
