All Activity

Aye - it's rare that I'll watch all the way through a concert video without skipping or worrying about the other stuff I'm meant to be doing!

Never mind the bass, he is 65 and in unbelievably good shape.

made a large purchase on instrument ive saved up for over last couple years recently. Just got a message from reverb that they need a image of my photo ID for verification and other proof. however im only a first time buyer not a seller. i read following, is this normal procedure if only buying? has this happened to anyone else on here where they have had to send photo i,d when only just buying a instrument? if so how did you send them your proof by email or in account its all a bit worrying as dont want them to cancel sale just want the instrument ive saved up for and finally bought . its all a bit confusing .

Love the bolt head to blank off the hole!

That's correct, I took the opportunity when I changed from your original cab to reshape the whole cab to specifically fit onto a 1220x610 sheet.

I've just had a read of that discussion and it looks like a reasonably common problem. These power supplies are usually pretty reliable so this is looking like a lack of quality control. They are the same sort of supply we rely on for running laptops and pretty much anything nowadays and the 5.5/2.1 mm plugs are pretty much standard too, though I'd expect better on an £800 mixer. The standard price for these seems to be around £12-13 and it looks like people who have the same problems as you are just buying them with a backup. Looking at them they are all very similar whatever the branding with a suspiciously similar sized case. Sadly it looks like Allen and Heath have cut corners with the power supply and haven't done the quality control, they've just bought them in. In your circumstances I'd just order one up from Farnell or even Amazon and try it. If it works then get a spare just in case.

Send Me Your Pillow - John Lee Hooker

It does.

Mine would be a Sei Flamboyant 5 string (the headstock version) but not with Bartolinis !

Tears On My Pillow - Little Anthony and the Imperials

Yep. Same here in NZ. Last time I checked there were only 2 in the country (pre-ordered) and maybe some on the way.....

I tried the D800+ with a Barefaced 410. It wasn't really my cuppa tea. So i sold both. And kept my Mesa 215 cab and Genz-Benz heads.

Id love to try one of these, none in stock anywhere for the foreseeable though

Very interesting. I've had the D800+ and as good as it is, we never really gelled, so I sold it. I've only heard great things about the 800D but I'm still holding off because the WD-800 and TT-800 are still on my G.A.S. list. I currently favour the Genz-Benz ShuttleMax 9.2 and like the 2 channels. So the TT has always caught my attention. It's good to hear your A/B comparison and it makes me G.A.S. a little more for the TT-800. 👍🏽

I've had 2 necks from ebay and one from ali express. I have used both ebay necks and they are working well I fret levelled one, it wouldn't go dead straight but my course teacher, Dom (Crimson guitar fret levelling course) did say some necks are like that, get it as straight as you can, then level crown and polish turned out nice (lovely flamed maple too) the other neck didn't need levelling The Ali-express neck hasn't been used.............yet

I had a Walkabout head for a bit but couldn't get what I wanted from it. I was using a Barefaced 212 + horn ( Big Twin? Super Baby? ) and they didn't seem to get along. Beautiful thing,though, well put together and faultless even after 10-15 years.

Me, @rumblefish and another BC'er did an a/b comparison with a TT-800 the other evening. Both superb amps and they weren't radically different in sound. The majority decision was in favour of the TT but that's not any sleight on the 800D. The TT just had some indefinable 'more' to it. Either way, incredible amps with that Mesa dna running through them.

Tracks Of My Tears - The Miracles

I received a message telling me week 8 this morning

I agree 👍
