If it's anything like the couple of Stagg's I've had in my paws, that's about three times what I'd pay for it! 

The Peavey Backstage Plus is a guitar amp. I play with a guitarist who used to have one - from what I remember it sounded pretty good, but that was probably 40 years ago, and my memory ain't what it was... 

Axesrus?

Intro to Livewire, AC/DC... 

FWIW the 1x15 Compact has the same dimensions.

Did someone really need a difference between 0.9119 and 1.024mm?

Almost certainly! The difference is probably around 5 Ohms/km. 

It's not just about a couple of metres of speaker cable... 😄

Sometimes the threads here kill me.  Just buy a pair of wirecutters that look like the photo @Bigguy2017 posted.  B&Q £5.00.  They're perfectly fit for purpose.

Yup. Avoiding anything from Poundland made of cheese, any half decent pair of side cutters will do the job. 

Seems like you might have this covered, however... if it can get to Cambridge - ish, I can get it to Lozz from there. 

Never mind that, what about car tyres, they're all different sizes...

Companies trying to tie people in by using their specific charger is just wrong. 

Companies plural? Is there more than one?

But it will do for all new devices from 2024. That's the point.

That's all very well, but as I fully expect to be using devices with 'legacy' connections way past that, I'll carry on using leads with 3 different connectors one one end. 

I can't get excited, or annoyed, by this stuff. 

And USB-C won't charge my laptop, cameras, power bank or e-reader...

I can read music very slowly, not nearly fast enough to play along to, so I answered no. I could use notation to figure out a part, but I'd have to translate it into my own form of chart to stand any chance of playing along to it in real time. 

 

Most of the musicians in my circle can't read music. 

That's pretty much it for me too.

Depends.

How loud is the drummer? How about the guitarist(s)?

Is this for stage monitoring only (i.e. bass will also go through the PA) or do you need the bass rig to fill the venue?

This. 

I gigged for years with a 120W amp into a single 4 Ohm 115, and I've also sucessfully gigged a 250W amp (175W into 8 Ohm) through a single 8 Ohm 210.

All depends on the venue, your expectations, and how much volume you need (rather than want! Most pub bands, for example, play far too loud IMO) 

Agreed. Are they even scratches? Looks like the front could be cracks in the finish? 

Interesting, but not really relevant to the specific point that I was responding to.

I think the olympics is just a fortune to host then you find you have no use for any of the stadiums or halls you made, and have to think of some use for them. 

I'm sure that's often the case, but it needn't be. London 2012, for example.

What are these "long, continuous shots" of which you speak?

 

I just watched a video broken up into dozens of short sections which made it quite impossible to get any real feel for the scale of the place. 

That's exactly how I saw it too. 

Ah, I thought the markings were already on the neck, and not that you'd added them !

No, your post makes perfect sense. Apologies if I appeared to suggest otherwise.

I was simply observing that the oft quoted mantra of "righty tighty, lefty loosey" is ambiguous, as evidenced by the fact that it needs additional words to clarify exactly what it means...

If the markings in the original post had instead used an anti-clockwise arrow for loosen, instead of a left pointing arrow, and a clockwise symbol instead of the right pointing arrow, it's immediately obvious and unambiguous.

Does this make sense?

Not really, because it needs a qualifier (the reference to 12 o'clock) in order for it to be unambiguous.

Sayiing "anti/clockwise", and marking as such, would avoid that ambiguity.

Hi

Truss rod adjustment time and the first time I have had to adjust a heel access truss rod, is the below picture correct for which way to turn the truss rod?  Thanks

 

 

Well those markings are as good as useless. Does the top of the adjuster need to go right (clockwise) to tighten, or the bottom of the adjuster go right (anti clockwise)?

I'd assume it's a normal right-hand thread, and clockwise would tighten it.

If they're going to bother with markings, why not use markings that're meaningful ? 🙄

Topic headings appear bold if the viewer hasn't rread the latest post in that topic. 

If you don't see it as bold, doesn't mean others don't either.

Or have I misunderstood you ?

I’ve used an Barefaced Compact for years now. 1x15 / 450 watts 8 ohm cab, sounds great with

all the heads I’ve used it with. 

Same for me.
