Drummer was definitely live. Some triggering as well though.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1509622432' post='3400343'] Mic up their kit... give them IEMs... and then pump them a mix at a deafening volume. Curiously enough, they aren't so keen on smacking seven shades outta them... [/quote] Hmm, deliberately seeking to damage someone's hearing to make a point? Great idea...

I had this, transpired that despite maps and sat nav the delivery driver couldn't find our house. Nothing to do with the address or labelling.

May I just step in and correct what appears to be an implicit misconception? If you have agreed to play a pub for a fee at an agreed time, you [b]do[/b] have a legally binding and therefore enforcible agreement. If you have a written contract, then that's even better, but just because the terms are not written down doesn't mean they aren't legally binding.

A few misconceptions here. Firstly, if the story is true (I've no reason to doubt, I just haven't actually seen it though!) then Kanye will not be suing Lloyds - as it isn't an insurance company - it's a marketplace for syndicates of underwriters to transact insurance business. Secondly, the syndicate in question won't have to prove Kanye's mental health or otherwise - the policy will most likely be written on terms that respond to the happening or otherwise of a particular incident (the insured perils). If the cancellation was not as a result of one of these insured perils, the policy won't respond. Perils would be storm, civil unrest, equipment failure, physical injury and other similar ones. If it's not specified, it's not covered. The burden of proving it falls within cover is on Kanye - so, say he claims illness as a reason for cancellation; firstly they would check whether it's covered, and if not, they've reject his claim. It all depends on the terms he agreed beforehand. So if cannabis psychosis (or other mental health issues) are not within the scope of cover, the policy would not respond. Noone's using mental health as an excuse or stigmatising it.

I think they're still in Frome...

That's it. I've got a 60w I picked up for a bargain price a few years ago, and whilst I can't really play guitar very well (or bass, for that matter ) it sounds great, and has held its own in a live environment. The beauty of it is is that it has a DI so once you have the sound dialled in, you can go straight into the PA.

No, because the transaction is conducted in accordance with the agreement between the parties on eBay's terms which therefore constitute express terms between the parties. Anyway, all I wanted to point out was a buyer shouldn't automatically assume it's at the seller's risk until delivered.

I think we're slightly talking at cross purposes - but in the sections I quoted, "ownership" is transferred when the contract is made, which would be when the funds are transferred in the absence of anything agreed to the contrary.

That does sound intuitively correct, but at the risk of diverting the thread slightly, it's wrong The relevant sections of the law are ss16 - 20 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979. Essentially s18 sets out the rules to ascertain when property (i.e. ownership) in goods is intended to pass. Rule 1 states that property passes when the contract is made. S20 states unless otherwise agreed, the risk remains the seller's until property i.e. ownership is transferred to the buyer irrespective of whether or not delivery has been made.

[quote name='pmjos' timestamp='1501246276' post='3343576'] The law is quite explicit. The goods don't cease to be your responsibility until they arrive safely. [/quote] Not strictly accurate. If the transaction is between two private individuals then it depends on what was explicitly agreed in the terms of the sale, but in the absence of any express agreement it is arguable that risk passes with payment. If the sale is by a business to a consumer, then you are correct.

Aren't the Tech21 Landmark amps exactly that? Solid state, but able to get close to the classic sounds of Fender, Marshall etc?

Hi We're in Bristol so perhaps not the closest, but our website is here: Http://www.newimposters.co.uk Cheers J

You wait ages for a Mouradian to come along and then two come at once!

[quote name='bazztard' timestamp='1501149658' post='3342807'] huh? the website says they've been there since 2004 ?? [/quote] That's their shop in Frome IIRC.

[quote name='oldslapper' timestamp='1501079230' post='3342323'] ...and it's on Quiet Street.... [/quote]

Yep, went in on Monday and spent money. Nice chaps, dangerous having that so close to the office!!

Well done chaps, looks fantastic. Er... Now what are we supposed to do? Can you make another please?

Not quite the same thing, but I'm sure I've seen a fretless with a single fret right up at the dusty end to give that 'clank' when slapping.

Those pups are notoriously low output, so those figures might be right.

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1498571870' post='3325603'] NYE 2013, doing a party on a Thames cruise boat. Our guitarists Marshall started smoking, then came the flames and then a big pop and it was dead. Fun times. [/quote] Isn't that what you call a blessing in disguise?

Did a gig on drums in Italy many years ago on an outdoor stage. The performance area was covered but open at the back. There was a deluge as we were playing, and I look over to see water pouring in huge sheets off the back of the roof, directly into one of the stage boxes into which all the amps and equipment were plugged, and all across the floor of the stage while we're all playing away. Cue panic from me mid song, trying to attract the sound guy's attention and that of the rest of the band, which was quickly focussed when one of the amps went 'bang', leading to a very rapid stage abandonment!
