It very much depends on the wider context.....I have been in bands where: 1) a good person has quit immediately with no discernible reason then I would have reservations about having them back 2) a good person has quit immediately with good reasoning (family / work / life has thrown them a curve ball as it does) then yeah I'd consider them again 3) a time wasting, egotistical, "I'm better than all of you", narcissistic, over confident / undertalented, total twunt.....er, I'm not thinking of anyone in particular....honest! Then I would possibly pass on the chance. 🤣🤣

As others have said, if you're next to the drummer and cant hear them then one or more people on the stage are WAAAAAAYYYY too loud! If you can't hear the drummer for any reason usually you can see them and get visual clues on the tempo / stops / pushes etc. Not the best way but it can help. I've been going to jams or been in the house band since last century 🤣 and some songs you wish had been recorded as everything just worked together........other times its more of a train wreck (occasionally caused by yours truly 🤣) I think its a great place to learn to listen and watch what others are doing within a song. It can be scary and difficult at first but once youve learned the basis of a few songs and done it a few times it gets easier and more fun 👍

Just sold an Auralex Gramma pad to Paul. Easy deal, quick payment etc. First class 👍

I used to have a 410L for a few years (two 10's front facing, two 10's side firing and the tweeter) which I later paired with the 2x15 (why? no idea but I did 🤣). I'd switched from SWR Goliath cabs to Schroeder as they were some of the first lightweight cabs to come on the market. They were solidly made cabs that could withstand gigging life. However, on mine, the general finish was a bit lacking as in the carpet covering edges needed re-gluing early on and the manufacturers label on the speakon plate was a badly printed piece of paper hand cut out and roughly glued to the back. 🤔 Sound wise it pretty much was as @Lozz196 says, on it`s own it was a little middy but in a band setting it really shone with a rich full sound and great dispersion.

Have you looked around in the preamp cavity for stray strands of wire? All it needs is one strand causing a connection where it should'nt and it will drain the battery. Sometimes they can be sods to find as they're very fine and probably hiding behind something else. Good luck on finding a solution. 👍

Ah yes.....you seem to have experienced the joys of Aberdeen traffic planning department who seem to be permanently on drugs! 😠 The assignment of bus gates and LEZ change monthly now I think just to confuse people and allow them to hand out fines for the poor council coffers. Where was your gig? (Glad it was a good one)

I've used the ACS Pro17's for the last 15 years in a number of different bands and going to others gigs. For me the £150 per pair is THE best value musical equipment I have bought. As @Lozz196 says many bands (including one of the ones I'm in ) are a danger to hearing. My plan is that when I become unable to gig the ACS will have saved my hearing enough for me to still hear and enjoy my music collection.

I've just bought Roys Mesa Boogie D-800 off him. It's as described, in excellent condition, well packed and all comms were 1st class. Thanks for a speedy deal. 👍

Thanks @agedhorse......thats good news for me......bad news for my wallet! 🤣

I've always thought from articles I've read that Mesa gear was ranked in the upper echelons of amps for both sound and quality. For full disclosure I've never played through one of their bass amps or even seen one in the flesh so can't vouch for them personally. However, looking at other amps of similar specs, such as the Berg Forte which goes for £1200 in the UK, the Mesa D800+ price doesnt seem too far off the mark. As others have said the price of the D-350 does seem a bit spicy compared to other offerings in the marketplace. I'm sure Mesa have done their market research but I can't see who would be buying the D-350 in any quantity: pro-player would probably want/need the higher power, dentist / lawyer would want the highest spec/power 🤣 and weekend warriors like myself would most likely want the extra grunt just 'cos we like being noisy! 🤣 For a while now I've had on my gas list to try the D-800 (which strangely isnt shown on the GG pre-order page GG-Mesa 🤔) Has it been discontinued as the Mesa page still has it available?

Along with @Phil Starr and @EBS_freak's great comments I have used the following website to check the seal on my in-ears and found it a starter to getting a good seal. Basically use the tone audio files, follow the instructions and change out the tips as require to achieve the even tone. 👍 Audio Seal Test

So you're not really too sure about what you want 🤣 (Good choice by the way, but I'd go fretted 👍)

Thank you 👍 I shall dig a bit further on that info.

Are you not aware that its my right not to ignore things I know nothing about! I am now soooo offended 🤔 🤣🤣

OK....maybe daft question(s) but why the "bike park" split in the front panel? Is it a type of reflex design? What are the advantages / disadvantages etc? I tried looking on t'internet but couldn't see much that related directly. 🤔

Gratuitous, string changing fretboard shot!

I wonder if I should apply for the position of "poss guitarist"? Or maybe its a spelling mistake and he wants a "posh guitarist" 'cos they're based in Somerset / Devon? Sounds a barrel of laughs! 🤣🤣

Done some hunting but dont seem to have the info you need....sorry. 🤷‍♂️😔

I bought one of these Wolfcrafts about 12 years ago.....still using it. Not cheap but they are rugged and last! The wheels are big enough to easily pull up a kerb or other small is steps. Wolfcraft Trolley

Mmmm, I thought the request was pretty straightforward eg: "can any Eleven Rack (multi effects unit) user provide me with the settings for the effects patch "Secret Journeys"? I have some patch files at home which I can try and have a look at when I get back in a couple of weeks (if you dont get sorted out).

Very eloquently put if I may say so. 🤣
