Fish n chips. An old tooth brush, may be a mild dilute detergent if it really is Rank, dry thoroughly then lemon oil. Just lemon oil after the initial clean each time you change the strings should keep it in good nick.

OK I'll bake a cake. better invite chris-b to bring his Rob Allen. I'll PM you

Tend to agree Kenny, Those heads with a good size graphic are largly missing from todays current choice. When you need to notch a troublesome frequency, you do not have the weapons to deal with it. I can understand why Mark King got Ashdown to produce one. We love these light weight amps with fat shelving EQs but there's a lot to be said for an old Peavey valve preamp and a 31 band graphic in a rack.

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1359670963' post='1958726'] It does work, but not the way they claim. The cab contacting a stage does not cause it to vibrate; that would be the tail wagging the dog. The sound coming from the cab can cause a resonant stage to vibrate, which in turn can cause the cab to vibrate atop it. You may want to isolate the cab to stop it from vibrating. You can use a fifty quid gizmo, but rubber feet are all you need. Isolating the cab won't stop boom because the cab contacting the stage doesn't cause boom. It's the resonance of the stage and/or other reflection issues in the room. [/quote] I think you’re gonna disappear up ya own arse one day Bill. Yes ok it is the propagation of whatever chooses to vibrate in sympathy with a given frequency. Possibly sometimes maybe the dimensions of the wooden box you are all set up on, just as likely to be the drummer setting it off. Basically something sounds Shttt. If raising your cab 1" or a foot off the deck on a beer crate, 4 paper cups or a very expensive thing that sounds like a throat sweet, and it works what the hell. I would just add don't play louder than the room will let you and you probably be fine.

too high could play havock with the vocal mics and piss band mates off I use a dolly board 3" for wheeling gear in and always put my cabs on it. just de couples the floor so i always get the same sound to EQ. Carpets are the pits sucks the sound away, and hollow stages boom. But always get used to putting it on something, the same thing every gig helps.

For a reading muso, it saves flying up and down the neck = economy of movement = less wrong notes. But a 5 is chunky enough for me.

My Old Moan. I'm with Jack. My wife’s wheels for the last decade and more has been a VW Transporter, she loves it bless her, she can’t tell a BMW from a Porsche Most gigs it is our gear so fair cop but occasional drummer on long hauls. But when our [b]LAST guitarist[/b] sold his car and just assumed he would be getting lifts, you know him bad back; have to ask him to get on the other end of everything. Ya him, well he didn't last long after that. I've had years of it first there, last home, you do have to stand back and wait for others to step up sometimes. It’s just the Bass player is naturally the nicest guy in the Band, we need to get real if not get mad sometimes

Still here

Just like to add. Pride in what you do which means the following. Being prepared musically and for every eventuality gear wise. Being punctual, Courteous to other band members and the public. Putting in the work and being the best you can regardless of who you are playing for or what you are getting paid. Also appearance conducive to the band leaders wishes as well as your conduct off stage to others.

Nice bit of Van will go down well on Button Moon.

Just wondered if anybody down south has a Shuker artist, any opinions welcome please but was hoping to try. Has anyone got first hand comparison to a Turner or Rob Allen, etc.

Just keeps being amazed when learning other people’s lines, we are all wired differently and so other guys approach chords differently to what I might. So I am pleased to have to learn numbers I would not choose to learn and continue to get light bulb moments from old has-beens recording stars who deserve more credit.

I think we could all understand the design if it was £1500 and had an all valve preAmp and was aimed at the studio recording market. With the bonus of a small class D amp big enough for small gigs and rehearsals. Bet it would have flown off the shelves. But the 1000Watts does not add up as anyone needing that power is looking for roadie proof armour plating.
