  1. Ah, but one of the wheels locks after a few yards and they never go in a straight line.
  2. Just bought a rather nice aluminium 4 wheeled trolly / cart at LIDL. Folds down really small and expands to quite large. I'm pretty impressed with it at £24.99p. Sorry but couldn't find a link.
  3. We quite often get the 'have you got enough gear' or 'how much more is there to come in' or " this isn't Wembley Stadium you know" type comments. It gets boring after a while but we have sussed out why they say it. We all turn up in the van at the same time and carry the gear in and although it can look like a lot of gear in reality we have no more than anyone else, as we're a 3 piece there's probably less.Most other bands turn up in their cars individually and carry in their gear over a period of time so it doesn't look as much. We also use our own PA and lights, we know the system, we know how to get a good sound out of it and put on a good show and we don't trust anyone else to do it right. We also play at a volume suitable to the venue and in agreement with the promoter / landlord / social secretary, that's one of the reasons for a sound check isn't it?
  4. You have a PM sir.
  5. It's better than this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZI9YNIB2YI
  6. Yes, just reverse the wiring, a pain in the bum though.
  7. No bass in this one either but who's the best drummer? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHOej4eG9i0
  8. Not the answer you're looking for but does this help? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN42uzNFVmQ
  9. What's a practice?
  10. Always try to enter stage in darkness so walking on hands would be a bit pointless, even if I could do it!
  11. Does this help? http://www.womenrepublic.co.uk/home_property/electrics/bulb.htm
  12. Here you go, http://www.rapidonline.com/FFSearchResults.aspx?query=solder&filterSearchScope=1
  13. Have you tried resetting to the factory presets?
  14. What a shame as I've decided no to renew my subscription. Just fed up with reading a mag that's just not interesting anymore.
  15. Don't fret about it!
  16. Why will you look a twat playing it? A nice looking bass at any age.
  17. Rather like that actually. Wonder if they do it left handed?
  18. Don't forget Danelectro, lighter than a light thing that's really light. Great sound too.
  19. I had a Shergold 4 / 12 a few years ago. Loved it. Used bass pedals when I played the 12 string. Very versatile but incredibly heavy, infact, it was heavier than a heavy thing that was really heavy. I could only play it for about an hour before it wore a giant groove in my shoulder.
  20. I've got a spare stilt if you want to make a pair.
  21. Played quite a few venues where just one 'new' neighbour complained and messed it up for everyone. If you move to, or buy a house next to a pub or a club then you know what to expect and shouldn't be surprised.
  22. I would guess that the output transistors had gone down putting DC voltage straight through to the speakers.
  23. I would have thought that all the cabs would use the same drivers so why not just use the 2, 1x10s with both amps? Easy to check, just whip the speakers out and have a look.
