Segue rather than mashup - We do The Kinks All Day & All Of The Night, that slides into You Really Got Me and is a bit Van Halenesque and then back into All Day. At the end of the night we do Nutbush that rolls into Whole Lotta Rosie and that always goes down well.

Well I play bass badly and guitar even badlier but I do like to mash out some chords every now and then. I have a Les Paul A Les Paul Jr copy A Westbury sort of SG a like And borrowing a Tele our guitarist made. They are all different and I like that.

Yes, Razzle. That's where it starts for me.

That'll be Nikki Suxx then, I mean it doesn't matter what order your strings are when you're miming..

All those down my way

Ooooh! Who??

Otoboke Beaver.. I'm not sure what I watched but I was transfixed!

It is an option but I was thinking of easy set up and lugging. I do have a 2x10 which works nicely with it so I'll likely stick with that as an option. Normally I run a 1x15 with the 2x10 on top and I do get on well with that. I did try the 8 ohm 4x10 on it's own at a gig this weekend and I had to push the output another 3 clicks round before I was happy(ish) but I do wonder if that may also be because I didn't have speakers closer to my ear level and so I wasn't directly hearing what I was expecting.

Thank you. It's a theoretical question that may lead to a purchase at some time, or maybe not. I was mulling over the idea of getting a 4ohm 4x10 to use instead of the 8ohm 4x10 I have. I was pondering if it would leave me a little more headroom and not be pushing the amp as hard.

Perfect. Thank you.

Sorry, yes solid state. Should I have included "heft" into all this? 😁

No, it's one or the other.

Thanks folks. It just helps clear a bit of brain fog!

Absolutely I get that, but at the same output volume level, would the 4ohm be noticeably louder?

Can I confirm that if - I have two 4x10 cabs, both rated at 500w but one is 8ohm and the other 4ohm. If I A/B these cabs from my 500W amp running exactly the same settings, the 4ohm would sound louder and if I want the 8ohm to match the perceived output volume, I would need to turn the amp output up? (Cabs being trialled individually). I'm sure there will be lots of variables that could be taken into account, but this is on a verrrrry basic level.

Bauhaus did two fairly different versions of Spirit. Once on the LP The Sky's Gone Out and then also as a single (it not just being a trimmed down shorted version). LP version Single version

And not to forget this chap! (I started to watch this last night on Prime.. interesting...)

As opposed to Vince Neil who is a really large penis 😁

Just this..

Acoustic Bauhaus? Sign me up!

I have a Les Paul style short scale Retrovibe. If I remember, it was a one off, put together to try out the style. I think David does this every now and again. I love it. It has a chunky neck and is fitted with their hi-gain RIC style pick ups which gives it a fantastic sound with roundwounds fitted. (Apologies for it looking rather grubby, but I have been playing it recently and it does need a clean!)

And to spite everyone, it would of course win.

Not had a chance to watch this yet, but certainly will. As I understand, right at the moment, AI is churning out derivative, cheesy nonsense that has no depth or staying power.. but isn't that what "the kids" are happy to absorb these days? But then, pop has always been a bit throw away, except there are a lot of classic "bangers" we still love from the wonderful charts of the 60's, 70's and 80's. Will there be any AI future classics?

There's a book about him..

Did someone say White Rabbit? Well, I've always enjoyed this post punk/psyche early 80's very messy self indulgent wig out by The Damned. Featuring some very up front Ric bass and lovely not quite in tune vocals by Dave Vanian.
