One EL84 is 5 watts of sheer power and if I was to guess, I'd say a 4 ohm speaker.

That's my way of thinking. 4 cabs would make 2 ohms would it not.

Ah, the memories come flooding back. My first ever guitar, a white Vox stroller, plugged straight into my Dad's Truvox reel to reel. Sounded great at the time but then I didn't know any better.

Not long to wait now! It's just about ready to become black.

Why not burn them yourselves. Get printable CDs, http://www.amazon.co.uk/CD-R80-Inkjet-Printable-pieces-recordable/dp/B00AR0WOY8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1365466888&sr=8-4&keywords=printable+cds and print them as well on a printer that prints CDs like an Epson photo R220. You might as well print out the back covers and inserts for the jewel cases, http://www.amazon.co.uk/100x-Jewel-Cases-Black-Tray/dp/B0011YDXPI/ref=sr_1_6?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1365466968&sr=1-6&keywords=jewel+cases while you're at it. It's a lot cheaper so more profit for you.

I used to use the Samson system and it works just fine for bass. The only reason I changed to the Line 6 G30 was because or the radio spectrum sell off.

That's what you do. Nothing more to it.

Deep Purple and or The Who.

I do our posters in Indesign. Not cheap but does an excellent job. I then save them as PDFs and e-mail them to the gigs, if possible, this saves on ink, paper and postage and there's more chance of the venue displaying them. If I have to print them out, along with the gig guides, I do it on the printer that the band paid for using the ink / toner and paper that the band pays for. The band wants posters and gig guides, I don't mind designing them, as I know how, but I'll be buggered if I'm going to provide the paper, printer and ink as well.

I always need a spare just in case.

I thought that Matamp custom build whatever you want, in which case, they can build whatever you want, including a bass 200.

I've been a one bass man for years now. When you pick up THE bass you know it. If the Thunderbird is THE bass for you, then you instinctively know it so make the changes and make it truly yours.

The one I had was the same as in this video. http://www.nme.com/nme-video/youtube/id/aZx2a4_qUBE/search/ Brilliant bass to play. I wonder if the one you're after had similar pickups that have been changed.

You could try something like these. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-set-Guitar-Bass-Neck-Joint-System-INSERT-SCREW-i-/390343756347?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item5ae24d0a3b

Ah, The Avon EB0 bass copy and Vox Clubman basses, yes they were both crap but not as crap as the Egmond and Top Twenty basses I used to own in about 1967.

I bought back a Hoyer from Germany when I played there in 1979, P/Xed an EB3 for it. What a fabulous bass! Unfortunately, I had to P/x it against a Shergold twin neck. Wish I still had it. I'd of thought that 120 Euros or £102 was a real bargain.

Our drummer takes and uses a carpet at gigs. I always thought that it was to stop his drums from moving but now I'm not too sure. Perhaps he's making a statement.

Mighty Mite, very nice.

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1364327651' post='2024994'] One thing I can never understand though, is why do some people play drums left handed. I mean why should it be more important to use your good hand on the hi hat than on the snare? I had a few drum lessons a while back, and one of the students would always have to change the whole kit round before he played. I honestly couldn't see the point. To me,drumming was a bit like dancing. You're using all four of your limbs anyway, so it doesn't matter which hand or foot does what. (Dad'll be along in a minute to tell me I'm wrong, lol) [/quote] It's because of the hand that you lead with when doing a roll round the drums. Leading with the left hand on a right handed kit means that you can't follow onto the next drum. I know that 'cause my drummer told me, about the only intelligent thing he's ever said though.

I've used the inuke power amps. They work, do the job well and weigh next to nothing. Just as good as the Peavey IPR amps IMO. Watch the supposed power rating though. Oh, and the inukes don't light up the stage like the Peaveys.

I like it, but I'd like it even more if it was left handed.

I enjoy basschat, it's like a magazine only free. Considering how much I pay for my subscription to BGM it's terrific value for money and you can't get any better than free. I couldn't buy a years worth of our local paper for £20 and that's not even worth reading. £20 to sell a few bass type things and keep a great site going, I call that a real bargain and even if I don't sell anything, it's still a bargain.

The latest Musicians Union mag had a front page spread about instruments on planes and implying that they'd won, unfortunately I haven't read it yet but a quick trip to the MU web site may have the answer you seek.

I tried that with a Custom Sound 30w combo, not live, just in the kitchen and it was quite impressive, probably the best I've got it sounding, but didn't want the hassle of taking another amp with me. May still try it live though just to see, or should that be hear.

It does sound totally different in a loud, live situation and with other instruments competing. I'm going to try a Behringer HD300 next gig as I found that the previous distortion sounded a bit bee in a jam jar. During the sound check at the last gig, one of our fans came up and said that they really liked the Fission, the first time that they've commented on anything without being asked.
