What I meant is that “strange” might not be the right word and may cause confusion. What I wanted to say is that a cab can be FRFR, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it will sound cold or sterile. With the Monza that’s definitely not the case, and I find that remarkable and very pleasant.

Great writer and performer. Sadly missed. And as for Big Country? What a collection of musicians. Made some cracking music.

In general I use the Shape function, then back off on the lowest frequencies to suit the venue. I know a lot of people aren’t keen on the Shape but it suits me nicely.

Quilter Bass Block 800

That’s great news and a brilliant turnaround from Barefaced.

Until after the gig!! 😆

I don’t think, in all my years of playing bass, that I’ve ever played through any SWR gear. Nothing to do with the gear itself, just none of the bands I’ve gear-shared with had any.

My favourite colour combo! I was going to suggest it, but I didn’t want to repeat myself too much!

Good to hear

I was there and we put a lot of people out on the streets.

I tried one, and I couldn't find a nice tone.

... and now looking for seasoned pros to help me play my songs live on stage. I don't have any money so I need dedicated musicians who are as passionate about my music as much as I am. 😂 drat I should have used AI to generate a better script!

Nah, Colin Furze would have attached a flamethrower to it. Nowhere near dangerous enough as it is.

Cheers Sean, Will give it a watch this afternoon!

I had an Electric Blue amp head. Loved it but the extension can got nicked out of my car at Aust services nr. Bristol (along with a GK MB150 combo) in the early 90s. Someone was in the car as well. I always covetted a Redhead but it never appeared. Ended up with an Eden Metro instead.

That's just how the repair bloke left them. Ironically, even with the EQ set like that, it still sounds brilliant with my brother's Ibanez SDGR bass plugged in. Until the howl kicks in. Another thing is that the howl volume is not louder or quieter depending on where the volume is on the amp.

Yes, it was. I agree, it was rather special indeed.

I’ve still got a few SWR’s, but they don’t go out so often. Logistics for gigging keep getting more challenging, but when I do take the Baby Blue or SM500 they never disappoint 😎 I’m sure an SWR preamp pedal is possible. Valves in pedals are fairly common these days, so someone will do it…

A question, why are all the EQ knobs a fully anticlockwise?

Great news. I can't imagine three years without playing!
