Excellent work Skol. If I could find room for a piano then I'd already have one. Nothing beats the action of a proper piano keyboard.

I have no way to stop you, do what thou wilt….

I found I was plumping for my bitsa Jazz every time, so I sold all the others.

More likely to be facing a firing squad if I'm honest

Probably by putting a burst of white noise through it (like 20ms or so) and extrapolating peak output from a graph...

A very close friend runs PA for smaller stages at the Isle of White festival, I've taken this PA out for him on occasion, Its definitely the real deal for small festival stages. Sound quality and volume are very very impressive. Set up time is about 2 to 3 hours, including a soundcheck. Requires not less than 2 people to set up, ideally 4. At least 2 really need to know what they are doing or it takes longer. Fills a huge mercedes van. The desk alone cost 15k not including stage boxes These idiots dont have a clue. [/quote] This. All of it.

14/15. In my defence, I don't bow...

Intonation, intonation, intonation. Everything else is just frippery. Sliding harmonics are a whole bundle of fun though!

[quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1433104977' post='2787928'] Turn up the gain on the ampeg and boost the mids a touch? [/quote] That's a maxim for life right there!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1432990798' post='2786849'] Yes, it's not all just 'have a big laugh and make people feel worried' on here, you know. [/quote] Damnit!

Turn any Jazz® bass into a tone monster with a John East J-Retro active set. Highly recommended.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1433015199' post='2787129'] What problem? [/quote] Touché, sir.

I once had an Edge signature Stratocaster - fell off the hanger and broke!

[quote name='4-string-thing' timestamp='1432987942' post='2786800'] I think I'll see how it goes on Sunday, there are will be at least 3 more 3 hour rehearsals before the gig, still time to bale out of it. [/quote] 9 hours rehearsing 8 covers. I'd have walked already! Seriously though, it might just be a sad occurrence that he's incapable of remembering stuff, nobody's fault, but I'd keep the band as a 'hobby' if thou feel that you owe them something, but if I were in your situation I'd never gig that lineup. Might be worth hanging on to see if you get a second guitatisr/singer into the fold, then slowly jettison the dead wood. Maybe one day he'll forget that he's in a band - problem solved .

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1432895245' post='2785935'] Nice one! Which band were you in Paul? My band Headsticks were on just before Space [/quote] Slander - we were on just before The Itch.

Closer to the heart - Rush (show of hands version). The record that made me go out and buy a bass. Tommy the cat - Primus. Opened my eyes to a wider range of performance. Good Vibrations -Beach Boys. Just because it's magical in every way. So What - Miles Davis. Again, this opened my mind just a little bit wider. The Lemon Song -Led Zeppelin. Masterclass in improvisation.

Be warned though, if you end up cab sharing with another player who uses different kit can result in acute GAS. Last time I cab-shard it was through a Barefaced. Now I'm Barefaced too.

This. I've heard of similar models to mine being fried when sound engineers erroneously put phantom power through the wrong channel. The old SWRs really don't like it. Yet again, DHA saves the day.

I use the DHA exclusively for PA feeds, as the DI on my ageing SWR head is prone to damage from phantom power. Should really get that sorted...

There's a fairly comprehensive one here: https://youtu.be/cYpdDY3dMxo

Dave Hall kit. Mine's always on, and I've even taken to velcroing it on top of my head (amp head, not my actual head) for festival gigs where I might not take the pedal board.

We (Slander) played Darwen Music Live this weekend, and was pleasantly surprised that the soundguy recognised my DHA kit and enthused about it. Nice not to have to convince them that it's an amazing feed to the PA.

Played MainStage at Darwen Music Live today. Nailed it. Lots of happy campers
