I like Barefaced cabs, had a good few of them but I’ve never found that the “this 1x12 is as good as a 4x10” thing worked for me. Their 1x12s sound like very good 1x12s to me, but averagely priced 4x10s put out much more depth of sound in my experience. As such I’d say you’ll get very good quality sound from a Super Compact but not sure if it will match the depth that you get from your two Bergs. The SC will certainly go loud though, BF cabs handle pretty much anything sent their way.

Craufurd is an excellent venue, Jason and his team have really done it up well, I remember it before he took over, was a bit spit & sawdust to say the least.

At present I`m in a non-gigging classic rock band and my fave songs to play are Tarot Woman & Stargazer by Rainbow, Highway Star by Deep Purple, Fool For Your Lovin` by Whitesnake and Dazed & Confused by Led Zep. After years of playing solid/powerful root note punk I relish a bit of spider-finger riffery!

Would a Fender Rumble 200 fit the bill?

In one band I was in the drummer got together with a girl and after our traditional Xmas break he announced that she had told him he didn`t need to be in the band any more as he now had her. The band folded not long after...........

Pretty much the same for me

I’ve only got 2 reissues of music that I already had, Never Mind The Bollocks by The Sex Pistols and Appetite for Destruction by Guns N Roses. Each are mastered differently to the originals, more bass, and re Appetite better separation of the guitars, Izzy left Slash right.

I saw Siouxsie & The Banshees in 85 at Hammersmith Odeon. She had broken her leg, and as it was in a cast did the gig sitting on a chair on stage. No problem with that, but the guitarist and bassist didn’t move at all, in fact they made her with her broken leg look hyper. Musically it was ok but after about 4 songs I decamped to the pub.

Most definitely

First one for me, bass and guitar had better sounds

When I saw it I really hoped it was short scale

Motorheadache are playing The Craufurd Arms, Milton Keynes just after Xmas, fairly sure I’ll go to that.

Good to hear your on your way Jack

Regular long scale should be fine, that’s what I use in my string thru Fenders.

Love the coil tap sound

I think for growl the Dimarzio or Geezer. I love the CS62 (and the Tonerider is very similar to it) but they seem to be more low-mid and vintage focused, whereas from what I’ve read the Geezer has an upper mid growliness to it. Plus with your user name surely it has to be a Geezer!

Def agree on this Chris, maybe a different bridge affects the action/string tension to where a player prefers, so it coaxes better tones that way. Who knows but as you say if something makes you play better, irrespective if someone else likes it, then that`s all good.

I had a similar 70s Precision, think it was a 78, very light indeed - another in the list of those I shouldn`t have moved on.

Pretty much the same for us, our next gig is 40 mins.

It`s so sad, that was my local for years, and honestly it was a lovely pub, yeah a few bouts of aggro over the years and the landlord used to give me a pint or two if I`d thrown said bother-merchant out but in general it was an oasis of relative calm in comparison to the other pubs in Hemel.

That’s a great version, prob best cover I’ve heard of this song

At present I have The Pretenders - October 2024 The Darkness - March 2025 Iron Maiden - July 2025

Only thing that looks doubtful to me is the treble frequency at 1kHz

Makes sense, no one sane wants to take on a berserker

Hmm, going from that description @Happy Jack, White Hart in Hemel Hempstead perchance?
