Bristol is great, I’ve gigged in a good few venues there, The Fleece, Louisiana, The Exchange, O2 Academy, and what used to be a prison (can’t remember the name tho). All were via 2 promoters, John & Ziggy. I’ve not got any more details sadly but they do punk/Oi/indie so worth doing some research.

Death or Glory Promotions on Facebook.

Don't know if it's still the case, but Doyle from the Misfits used SVT's for many years.

Months away, but yesterday I bought tickets for Discharge.

Never thought I'd see them live. Should be a good night out with old mates and hopefully lots of good people. 

From a few weeks ago...

Subhumans, this Saturday.

Anyone have any idea how many Dubsters were actually made?  

I don't think I'd part with mine, GLWTS.

wow matamp! thats my dream amp for sure

It's just an amp, and a heavy one at that 😆.

If you have no luck your side of the bridge this guy is well thought of, out Usk way in South Wales, I've not had cause to use him personally but follow him on FB, and he certainly knows his way round valve amps, I'd think if your Terror is fixable he can do it.

Tried it once. My glasses are for distance so when I used contacts I couldn't see anything close up! 😖

See your optician and ask if you can have one lens for distance and one for close up stuff, I've been wearing mine like that for a good few years now, worth a try.

I've got a couple of Barefaced cabs, the Four10 will outman any 'normal' 8x10 I've played through, so I'd expect the same from the Two10 versus the vast majority of manufacturers 4x10.

As mentioned, you may not notice a huge difference at normal volume, or even some people's 'loud', but if you need proper loud and low you won't be let down by Barefaced.

Discharge, last Friday.

Owned from new, has a set of Wizard 'Hammers' installed with the obligatory cts etc. loom.

VM, wears a Kiogon loom and lately some Toltec 'Hot' Jazz pickups.

First time in a few years for this rig.

Before I sprung for a valve head, I borrowed one off a very kind friend for a practice session, hand-built 100w, through my Barefaced Four10 at the practice, I couldn't even hear it at full beans, swapped back to my Orange Terror 500 after 3 songs. Admittedly we played silly loud at that time, so I went for a Matamp GT200 after that experience, no problem hearing that, indeed Kev (r.i.p) was even moved to say, "Ffs turn that thing down" at one session when i decided to give him some of his own medicine.

Loud is different things to different people.

My amp, house cab for this evening...

Curious as to whether payment was obtained on 3/6 or perhaps dispensed...?

Turn the bass up a bit.

A little funk jazz impro night then?

Yes, nothing like a bit of easy listening to help get us back in the saddle.

So, on Friday we played our first gig since July 2019, and the first with our new guitarist, it went well.

Just received another solderless p bass loom from John, as always a pleasure to deal with. No need to look anywhere else if you need a loom, he's The Man.

Tonight's practice, the new cheapie bass surprised me, I've got a new Kiogon loom and Toltec 'Hot' pickup on the way for it, but it was no slouch as it came.

I've had 2 sets, 1 'Hot' jazz, and 1 standard jazz, not tried the standard ones yet but I put the hot ones in my VM jazz which had the 'Duncan Design' pickups as standard. Night and day, they sound massive, very much like the set of Wizard 'Hammers' I bought years ago for my old Tokai jazz. I got each set for around the starting bid price, well pleased so far. They'd be a bargain at the 'Buy it now' price let alone what I got them at.
