Old Peaveys had no trouble with 2 ohms. Back in the days of discreet transistor output stages it was easy to go to 2 ohms, you just used more transistors to increase the current capacity. It's not quite that simple with Class D modules. Sure, they can do it, but it's going to up the cost. However, note that the minimum impedance load tends to be rated at full power. You can run at 2 ohms at 1/4 power and keep the current demand within spec. But who's going to advertise a 2 ohm capable amp at 250 watts compared to 4 ohm capable at 1,000 watts? 😲

Start a thread about The Troubles that'll get closed down before the first page is done. Meanwhile can you put a sock in it? We're watching Haim. 🙄

Jim Marshall signed me a copy of the 'It goes up to to 11, dunnit?' poster. God know where that is now.

Politics will see this thread closed. back on topic, I think the bassist in the script was playing a Tom Stenback. If it was then it’s possibly the poshest bass so far 😂

I've had some posters during the 90's signed by Jim himself until they started asking money for it... 🤦🏻 Talked a few times with him too about amps and drums, he was a very nice guy.

Classic bit of "whataboutery" there. Two wrongs don't make a right.

It's everywhere, but this stupid idea comes from the USA.

Not all all. The limit on the Interstate north of Concord is 70/112, so they don't bat an eye if you're doing 80/129. If you want to see nuts try the New Jersey Turnpike. 90/145 is common, and most of the cars you see doing that are junkers that probably aren't safe at half that speed. And if you've ever driven in Quebec you know that the speed limits there are just suggestions that are usually ignored.

I'll admit that I couldn't listen right to the end, bu there was nothing nefarious that particularly shocked me in the snare sound. It gets a resounding 'Bof' from me.

I have relatives through marriage who were murdered by 'loyalist' paramilitaries thanks to the assistance afforded them by MI5. I don't like to see anybody killed as a result of war, religion or anything else. Kneecap haven't killed anyone. Long live Palestine 🇵🇸

Many years ago I had a dream where I went into a guitar shop and asked to play the Aria Cliff Burton bass they had. It was on the ceiling and, by the time the guy in the shop had brought it down, it had turned into one of these. Not wanting to appear rude I had a quick play and heard the most beautiful bass tone ever... so pure and lush that a crowd gathered to hear where this amazing sound was coming from. Needless to say they've been on my mind ever since. I hope yours sounds as glorious as mine did 😆

Anyone else notice the bored looking munchkin in front of Ms Eavis ? I'm guessing Grand daughter, someone should tell her how many ice creams mummy's share of the take would buy.... 😎

Not really. Barts and EMG soapbars are smaller. When I replaced the pickups in mine the nearest thing was get rosewood covers and load them with Warman Jazzbars even then there was a fair gap.

....hmmm, can't see Jools booking Wunderhorse anytime soon I get it though. I watched a bit of The Script....if U2 & Coldplay had a child! Total Blandsville.

First announced in 2022. Peavey then showed some, IMO poorly finished, samples at NAMM 2023. Those disappeared for "QC" reasons and the company rolled out a "should be next month" excuse until Feb 2025 🤣 I'm thinking it's repeat of the 2017 Cirrus reissue with Peavey taking delivery of the first batch then hoping they get enough orders to warrant a 2nd production run. Doubt they'll reach that magic number as, just like 2017, none of their distributors are carrying the line. Yet again Peavey are trying to sell a non-US built product to the US market, one which costs nearly 3 times as much as an original used US version fetches.

Depends on your view of art to reinforce the status who or challenge it. &nbsp Someone earlier on described Glasto as a sunny and extended Jools Holland session. I reckon that’s not too far off the mark. Anyway, off into the beautiful sunshine myself!

I may have been at that one... what year was it? I went to 3 guitar/bass shows around 2001-2006ish and met Jim Marshall at all 3. I still have 3 Marshall posters (one of Jim in front of a wall of Marshall stacks, one of Jim and Nico McBrain and one of Hendrix) all signed by Jim and made out to me and all with different dates on them. Two are on my studio wall next to a Birdhouse flyer signed by Tony Hawk fly, a few signed set lists from various gigs and a Tim Russ (Tuvok from Star Trek Voyager) signed promo photo! Not sure where the third is Jim poster is... 🤔 Found a photo, 2003, 2004 and 2005. 👍

I guess so. Without a thread derail though it must be kind of obvious to most people now that there are deep structural issues with capitalism and neither right nor left have a solution. The best I hope for is not to turn on each other and make things even more ugly. So anyone preaching division or proposing violence as a solution whether with a guitar or ballot box can just fcuk off.
