The only thing is whether Andertons (sorting the order with EB) request me to send them the old bridge first before they post the new one… otherwise you may be right and call it a win!

If you've not formally agreed and signed off on returning it, I'd consider that a win.

No idea as yet, the new one is on its way and should be here mid November so will find out soon…

The problem with the TE410 cabs for me is their weight (100lb ish) and bulk. So I spent some time finding the compact 15" cab that is same width and depth as both series 6 AH200 and SMX250 heads. Not as powerful as the 410 but loud enough for most of my needs nowadays. If you can find the 210 compact cabs, they're worth a look too.

Sounds like a solid bass with very few downsides for a £300 single pickup bass. Probably enough space to add another pickup if you fancied but doesn't sound like it needs it. Will be an absolute steal second hand if/when they come around!

Thoughts are with you at a worrying time Greg. Take care and hope you get the results we all want to hear. Dave

The very definition of good times!

Ah, that's a shame. I was looking at those big 15" TE cabinets and imaging how good they'd sound for the kick drum - but of course (as you say) they aren't going to be that good for snare, etc.

10CC are one of those bands that were so high profile during their time, but have been kind of air brushed from history subsequently. I remember well how important they were in their heyday, but they are seldom cited as an influence by musicians nowadays or feted in the mainstream media for their extraordinary talents. I think a lot of that has to do with 10CC being an unapologetically clever band. In their own way, they were a kind of Mancunian Steely Dan. Every track was an art project, and they tried to be playful and provocative with the pop music medium they were working within. Therein lay their downfall, because particularly after punk rock happened anti-intellectualism became the only acceptable stance for critics and the listeners they influenced. The fact remains however, that 10CC were a very popular mainstream band in the 1970's, just like ABBA and ELO. They had UK Number 1 singles when that was still a big deal. They were ever-present on radio, regularly on television, did big live shows, loads of people liked their music and bought their records. 10CC wrote great songs that really connected with people, not surprising if they've got people a songwriterwith pedigree like Graham Gouldman in the band, and they definitely deserve to be rediscovered and given the credit they deserve.

Talking of pushing air, those ports really do their job. I could feel my shorts flapping when I turned the wick up.

Badum, tish!!!!!!

Smaller speakers blah blah blah more displacement blah blah. A big cab pushing air is a very fine thing.

Pete bought a couple of Carol Kaye books from me. A nice easy transaction and I'd be happy to deal with Pete anytime again. Many thanks

The stuff I've picked up this year has all been brilliant. After stopping gigging late last year I've changed loads of stuff out (Barefaced cabs, GR amps and a cab and a MarkBass 5 string) and I've been really happy with all of the replacements. I can't pick a winner between one of @stevie's LfSys Monaco cabs or a purple Spector Pulse 2 5 string with an Lhz preamp fitted. The second hand Bugera Veyron BV1001M that cost buttons gets an honourable mention too.
