    I should add this is verified oomph. Any amp can produce vaguely defined heft and airily described properties like output, beef, power and headroom. Very few have officially verified oomph.

    Well I met James and relieved him of some bass gear and I can happily commend him to you all. He's a genuine guy, a real pleasure to deal with, excellent communication and scrupulously honest. Great to meet you mate, hope you enjoy the shift to amp free gigging.

    I enjoyed a bass trade with Martin in the most salubrious of surroundings. We met in the car park of a sumptuous hotel in Stratford On Avon but the owner insisted we came inside and so we did. Beats the dogging lay-bys and service station car parks we usually employ. Martin is honest, genial, friendly and his communication has been prompt throughout. A pleasure to deal with you sir.

    Thanks guys. I have held off from selling this for ages but as Merton suggests there is a sensible limit to how many amps one needs. I am currently at 8 so the cull has begun.

    Ladies and gentlemen, we have here an Eden Nemesis amplifier. 650 Watts of FET heft, with the most responsive tone controls I've ever known. Eden owners will understand what I mean. Oodles of oomph (and I mean oodles), massive sound and a crazy bright blue lit name which will be the envy of all who encounter it. Annoyingly missing a knob cap otherwise beautiful to behold. These are simple to source and I might just source one for you. If you don't want the frankly brilliantly convenient gator case / rack bag then I'll pop the amp out and reduce the price accordingly. Do I want to post this? Well it's a bit heavy to be honest and I'm here and there gigging most weekends so happy to meet you. I haven't pictured the light because it's dangerous to point a camera at something brighter than the sun. Did I say you can run this at 2ohms? Because I should have.

    Stunning. If only I could help relieve you of this.

    I'm so lucky with our keys guy. He's happy to set up behind me. Sharing space with my cabs usually

    OK. I don't have those but have a sale agreed on a bass. If this is still here when that all goes through I'll take it off your hands

    It's a Fender jazz. In fairness I'm trading it so NBD ought to assuage my grief!

    Next time I shall play it before I put it up for sale!

    Losing a bass this weekend. Did the decent thing and gave it a run through to ensure all was well. Oh god what a beautiful neck. Oh my what a gorgeous sound. Oh hell what was I thinking. etc etc etc

    Interested in any trades?

    I use one. Not needed to use it live yet but when my shoulder injury flares it is ready to step into the breach. I have used it for long rehearsals, and while it took a little getting used to it was nice to have no weight on my neck for a few hours. Didn't clobber anyone with the headstock either.

    Okey doke. I'm out gigging this weekend so I'll get to it asap

    Ah poo. No it's not just what I'm after. Great pups KA ones. Sorry 😞
  16. stewblack
    I'm watching you.
  17. stewblack
    Don't sell this until I get home it could be exactly what I'm after!

    I have a bass. It has 2 pups and 3 knobs. VVT as one might imagine. Knob 1 behaves as expected affecting the volume of pup 1. Knob 3 does its job altering tone of either pup. Here comes the fun. Knob 2 on its own brings both pups into play simultaneously. Not just pup 2 as one might expect. To get pup 2 on its own both knobs 1 and 2 need to be up. Help!

    Was killing me but instead of relief I feel awful. Anxious, stressed, hate this so much. Something had to give I've taken on too much and this band was eating my time and feeding my stress. Why does this never get easier? Sorry. Needed doing and I did it. Not a discussion opener just a bit of a whine this really

    Yum
  21. stewblack
    Well isn't that lovely 😍
  22. stewblack
    Certainly not worth arguing about. I'm sorry I didn't explain myself well enough.

    OK let me clarify. When I first heard this stuff it sounded mind blowingly heavy powerful, noisy and hard edged. Over the years as music has pushed those boundaries ever farther the context has changed. It now sounds comparatively polite, melodic and, yes, quaint. It has lost that crazy edge with the passing of time. This does not insult, devalue or belittle the music in any way. It has ever been thus. Cutting edge becomes mainstream, wild becomes tame. My dad told me how his father dismissed the music he (my dad) loved as "just a noise" and "not even music". It was Bing Crosby.

    For me it's Hi-Hat & snare side because that's the way the drummer faces. Generally. so we're able to see each other but playing cramped and away from the singer is my main reason for hating being stage right. I love to interact with the singers in my bands
  25. stewblack
    Yes! I always do a swing test just before we start to see what I'm going to hit
