Unlike muting strings there’s a lot of energy and there’s varying degrees of sympathetic buzz. Sometimes a finger on the reso head will be enough but if the bass player hits the right frequency then even holding the snare wires at one end won’t stop it buzzing at the other and the only options are to release the snare tension or put your finger under the snare wires.

Yes, there was a Maurice Plaquet store in Shepherds Bush. Years ago, I worked at the Marquee Club in Wardour St. It was like the hangout of people in the music business and you can see a band whilst people were networking. Believe me it was the place to be. The road manager with Soft Machine was short of a few roadies for their gig at the Rainbow Theatre, Finsbury Park which was #1 rock venue in the country at the time I was recruited, and I in turn asked my mate if he fancied being a roadie for a day. Of course he did do we both did it. That’s when I first heard of Maurice Plaquet, a lot of the bins (speakers) used by the band was hired from Maurice Plaquet’s company.

Will Basschat survive the Online Safety Act?
tauzero replied to fretmeister's topic in General Discussion
But most of them will be passive websites that just carry information and don't try to push anything to anyone. It's only web forums and other social media that will be examined, assuming that a web crawler can be adapted to detect forums. - Yesterday

I'm just home for the Toby Lee gig in Faversham (conveniently just round the corner from home 🙃) wow, what a fine musician, good band, lovely songs, what's not to like.

It's a very interesting head for sure. Tons of EQ. I couldn't find anywhere on the Mesa site that stated what the input impedance was. So you might need a preamp to get the best out of your realist. That output damping switch is very interesting. If you do get one the please report back as to how it works out. Mesa stuff always looks gorgeous.

£90? If they last 30 years like a good set of flats should then they're a bargain. -
