Back in the days when smoking in pubs was a thing, my old carpet-covered SWR Goliath 4x10’s used to reek of smoke, but I found it dissipated fairly quickly. Funny thing is that despite having never been an active smoker, I now find the smell of tobacco smoke to be “nostalgic”.

If you can't find it, you can always steal other people's. Works for me. ...oh shit, did I say that last bit out loud?

Not sure if this is even allowed so please delete if not mods! I would of course list things for sale here anyway… but… I keep seeing ads on Facebook like ‘sell your guitars’ etc. Richtone music, bax music and fat bottom guitars have been pushed to me today. has anyone had any experience of this? It says free quotes so I suppose I may as well find out what they’d offer. I’m guessing not incredible prices as they have to make money after all. It could be a quicker, less hassle way of doing things? I’ve never done it before so I figured find out from those who have

Probably my favourite guitar shape of all time.

I bought a piano years ago, smelled very smokey, cleaned it, still smelled, and for years you could hit some random key and get a whiff of smoke!

I’ve been running a pair.of the EV ZLX15P for a good few years now, almost always coupled with a pair of old Peavey 15Pro bass bins but occasionally on their own. I run mine at +3db in most settings, and my only concern is that they run really hot by the end of a gig. I have had to replace the complete plate amp in one of mine after a problem with a venue’s electrics killed one, but otherwise they’ve been super reliable. I have recently managed to replace the Peavey’s with a pair of EV ELX18P subs, which will let me get the full use of the onboard DSP (hence why I am currently selling my dBx DriveRack) and I am looking forward to our first run out with these early in the new year.

I'm interested in the 5-string headless - available from Nafiri Guitars and assorted other Asian outlets for £260 plus shipping which comes out at around £470. The 5-string Stingray copies are £214 so a tad under £400 with shipping (and I'm not sure if that includes VAT and duty). I've emailed Fair Deal to ask if they'll be getting any in. When GG had the deal with Sqoe, they didn't get any in. Can't remember if I asked them back then. Edit to add: Fairdeal do have the 5-string Jazz copy in, if not the Stingrays.

The purpose of the DI box is to get a good line level signal to the desk. Check that there is no pad engaged on the DI box (unless the acoustic output is hot enough to need a pad), then check that you are getting the correct gain level at the input of the desk. If these two things are correct, then use the eq on the desk to shape the tone of the acoustic guitar. In my experience, even quality acoustics can sound harsh at the top end and bassey at the bottom when DI’d into a desk, needing an eq cut in both regions to sound nice and warm.

Ive managed to find a guitar box, so delivery is now an option -

Thanks, Mokl. I was running two as a vertical stack – best live sound I've ever had! -
The DM610 is a large bookshelf/standmount speaker from renowned hi-fi brand B&W, featuring a well-braced 30-litre sealed cabinet with 8-inch mid-bass driver. The larger driver and extra cabinet space create a much better low end range than from most similar speakers. This model allows for either bi-wiring or bi-amplification. These speakers present clean tight bass response, surprisingly clear mids for such a large driver and the pleasant highs that the well-designed B&W tweeter at that time was famous for. They can be driven quite loud, enough for the physical effect of the bass to be felt without audible distortion or a sense of sound compression. Both speakers are in Very Good condition, especially for their vintage. All-original, complete with full grilles (one of which has a small hole, shown in the final photo). Only £125. Collection from Bournemouth BH6 preferred. Here comes the science bit… Type: 2-way closed, shelf speaker Colour: Ash black veneer Dimensions: 490 x 236 x 303 mm (H x W x D) Weight: 7.8 kg Recommended amplifier power: 30-150 W Frequency response: 70 - 20,000 Hz (±2 dB) Crossover: 2500 Impedance: 4 Ohm -

I visited the Gibson Garage in London yesterday after touring Denmark Street. I have been to the garage a few times before so I knew not to expect to see many basses — there were probably about half a dozen on display. I ended up buying a beautiful cherry 'inspired by gibson custom' epiphone firebird and couple of t-shirts, and the branded pleckies that are offered when trying an instrument are a cool touch. I didn't want the hassle of lugging the huge firebird hard case back home on the tube & bus, so it will be delivered on Tuesday or Wednesday next week. (when the missus will be back at work.)

I like Davey and Charles in smallish doses. Davey seems to try to give off the impression that he has almost mystical abilities that make everything he does effortless, although it's clear to anyone familiar with the instrument that there's thousands of hours of practice behind his skills. Charles makes no secret of his extensive musical education and I'm happy for him that he's found a way to make a living from it. Sapko is a different beast, whilst he's clearly a very good player, his social media stuff has more of a stand up comedy vibe,he's trying to provoke a reaction with what he says rather than impress people with his playing. I've warmed to himin the last few months, but it's no suprise that he winds some people up.

Not my favourite sound. Has a very metallic sound to me. Does that bass have a metal fretboard? Alembic tried that for John McVie many years ago. Not sure that worked either.

Were totally in love as a band with our new EV's we went with a pair of EV ZLX 15P G2's were running full band , fully ampless with mic'd drums into it and it doesn't bat an eyelid ... were playing pretty loud punk rock shows and they are run at +2 the thing goes to from -12 +12 , We've totally kicked the idea of Subs to the kerb as if were playing anything we'd have venue front of house. Its got all 3 flavours of Modular , Darkglass , Quad cortex and the new fender Tonemaster , stuff.
