    For interest I looked up the Trace Elliot 1200. I was very disappointed to see that it is incapable of driving a 2Ω load. In my mind such a capability in a bass amp is almost a necessity!

    Duke Ellington "In the 60s". Was my introduction to the great man, and is still a fabulous listen. All the big tunes, great quality recording and the old boys were still very much on their collective game.

    So not all branches are shut then?

    Decided to price this more competitively considering the condition - now £500.

    Very nice Paul

    Thanks John

    I love the tuning keys - they look great! GLWTS.

    Me neither. I mentally depreciate anything to zero when I buy it, and just want it gone when deciding to move it on. Guess I'm not destined to be a millionaire.

    This is my main octave and I love it, tracks well and is small and light. GLWTS!

    In my mind it's better to have too many speaker cabinets rather than too few. If what you bring turns out to be not up to the job you can't really go back home for more.

    I used to wait until eBay dished out free listing offers too.

    I was 5 stone overweight in 2009 and amongst other things, getting cancer was my wakeup call. I was mid 30s and just not looking after myself. I lost the 5 stone through getting active and watching what I eat and bar an occasional fluctuation of less than a stone, have kept it off for over 15yrs now. Being a live performer is a huge motivation for that. Don't be in competition with anyone other than versions of yourself - goals should be realistic and there is always someone fitter / stronger. My shoulder is knackered, my feet play me up and I am clearly feeling my age some days but watching what I eat and staying active help. I recommend some sort of weight resistance for anyone getting older. Pre-Covid, I was mid-late 40s and doing big tours around Europe, keeping up. Don't be a hero, go for lighter basses and lighter amps - it's a lot easier now than when I started playing and amps weighed about the same as a small car. Also, in a band setting, if you can't carry the kit, make sure you step up in other ways (like driving) so people can see you are doing your bit. Older band mates usually don't mind stepping up to cover the areas others struggle with. It's give and take when you work with decent people.

    Pretty much me to a T as well! Maybe sounds a bit odd, but gigging itself has been a main part of my exercise for decades. Like you I also walk a fair bit, with regular walks around where I live. I’ve never fancied gyms though, or any regular sports stuff. At 67 I’m still lugging my own stuff to gigs, although lightweight kit has been a godsend to me. I’ve noticed the day after a gig has felt worse than it did a few years ago, but nothing I can’t cope with at present. Hopefully I’m good for a few more years yet, although 5 gigs this week may prove otherwise. 😆

    Despite these days of Speakon, I still use orange twin-core mains cable to make my speaker cables, just I use Speakon plugs now

    I confess that I do nothing really. I do walk regularly but that's not specifically to stay in shape for gigs. I gig pretty regularly and don't have any mobility issues. I use lightweight gear now, but more because it's more convenient rather than lighter. As for practise, I haven't really ever practised, other than to learn new songs. I'd probably be half decent if I'd made any effort at all.

    In the Edinburgh branch this week - really bad if you play bass.
  25. BassmanPaul
    I've always made my own speaker cables. I use two core black rubber insulated power cable, IIRC 12 gauge. I've never had a problem with any of them. For storage I lust loop them end to end until I get three or four feet length and just then tie each of them in a knot. They then go into a milk crate with others of their ilk. In my mind concern about speaker cables is much ado about nothing!

    The start price is fair but £2800 plus fees is insane. Badlands Guitars had one like this they couldn’t sell for months at £1500 (and that’s a shop). I sold mine for £1500 with a Hiscox case. Thought that was very fair.

    I’ve got to the point where I pretty much can’t carry stuff aside from my bass, and bending down to plug in cables etc is difficult. So my “stage moves” don’t require much, aside from trying to get out of the way of our lumbering clumsy singer.

    New album dropped on Friday, only just seen it. Fave track so far. "Hip Hip Hooray! It's Record Store Day So get yourself a second mortgage!"

    Pedaltrain Nano in top condition with (soft side) velcro attached. Harley Benton ISO-5 PSU velcro'd to the underside. Cracking little PSU - 5 outputs, two are switchable 9/12/18V, I've had it for a while and used it a lot, it's never missed a beat. Full spec and blurb here: https://www.thomann.co.uk/harley_benton_powerplant_iso_5_pro.htm Includes replacement myvolts power adapter/adaptor (which cost about £17 as I recall) as well as the original (euro plug with clunky adapter/adaptor - it'll do as a spare). The myvolts needs a polarity reverser, (which is also included), the original doesn't. Includes 5 pedal power leads and a reverse polarity lead for the LEDs. And TWO free velcro cable ties! The LEDs are remote controllable, different colours (to match your shoes), they can fade, they can flash in time to the music, they're utterly stupid, pointless and completely fantastic. Includes soft carrying case with decent sized front pocket and shoulder strap. This has never been used and is in mint condition. I'd rather sell these together, but I'll change my tune if they're still here in a week or two. £65 posted or £60 collected from Bewdley DY12 I go to Brum and Worcester a lot, happy to meet up or possibly deliver. Any questions (about the item) please ask.
