doomed

I had to do the same a few weeks back, the cab provided died, so went straight from my vtdi into the p.a., the venue is notorious for bad sound, the p.a. is only ever used for vocals and bass drum... 🤔

Kiddie on the desk was on his first night, owner was outside loved right up and didn't give a monkey's, monitors have never worked there as far as I recall.

It was a fun set... everyone out front could hear me but I couldn't, hey ho... 😄

Loud amps save lives... tasty. Sorry to digress, but what strings are on the P?

Fender, it's in drop B. 45, 65, 85, 130tw

Practice rig last night as we start tightening up new stuff for recording.

I have had a cloth fronted Four10 since the model was launched, I had a Roqsolid cover made (padded version) with front board pocket and inserted a very thin piece of ply, no problems whatsoever.

The new Culture Shock album 'Found it in a skip'.

Very hot, very sweaty and very very loud.

Love it 👍Is that the 2x12 or the Dubster 🙂

Dubster, I decided to give it an outing last night, did the business as ever, I did think about nipping home and getting the Four10 at one point as Stofferson turned up with a Four10 he'd bought on the way to the gig, would have been nice to have run them together.

Last night's rig.

Bargain, if I had the need and my matamp or head of doom ran at 2ohms I'd be highly tempted to have it to make a pair. GLWTS.

Phil Anselmo & The Illegals last Thursday in Bristol, about 20mins of Illegals stuff then the remainder was Pantera.

What is it???!? And belated happy birthday.

Cheers, it's an American Professional, still too many strings but... 😄

So, I was 50 last Saturday... treated myself.

Phillip Anselmo and the Illegals in a few weeks time, and I'm going on my own.

Proof that the reinstatement of capital punishment should be a priority.

As has been said there are the good promoters, those who book the bands, arrange gear shares, provide a rider, arrange sound checks, arrange event finish times based on local public transport, advise of arrival times/parking, promote the event locally and online, and run the event.

Then there are the ones that book the bands and do nothing else. To me they are bookers, as that’s all they do, however they’re usually more full of self importance than either the above or the bands.

This. Expect nothing and you won't be disappointed 🙂.

Hope it's ok to share this here, a friend in Sweden has had this stolen, it's unique, there's only one of this configuration. 

It obviously looks like a 'R' but it's made by Inferno Guitars from Australia I believe, anyway he'd understandably like it back if anyone comes across it. Cheers.

Lundgren pickups.

Peace sign inlays with 'Slemmy' across 12th fret.

Also has Patrik's signature on rear of headstock.

You're listening to your super clean small PJB rig and comparing it to a large lump of a rig from a previous era and it's not surprising that you're hearing a lot of differences.

I gigged an Ampeg SVT3 PRO for nearly 10 years (they're good, but IMO these days you can do better), so I'd suggest an Aguilar TH500 or Quilter BB800 would get you into the ball park. The sound of a big old Ampeg cab would be more difficult to replicate, but IMO (again I think you can do better) I would prefer something like one of the Barefaced 10's, maybe the Two10 or Four10. 

I have a fair range of heads to choose from but I tend to gig with the Quilter more often than the other stuff as a lot of our gigs are quick turnaround multi band affairs, so the Quilter makes sense for portability and convenience, I tend to run my Sansamp VTDI into the rear line in and in all honesty if you didn't look over your shoulder you'd be hard pressed to tell you weren't going through an all Ampeg rig. It lacks nothing imo.

Quilter Bassblock 800, mine into my 8ohm Four10 is phenomenally loud and not lacking in any way, you can either go straight in to the front or use a preamp and bypass the Quilter's own eq section by going into the xlr on the rear.

Ok, I think I've got it and I think it's pretty much what I imagined it to be before I ask...so, next question...

If say I'd just purchased a Quilter BB800...which I have...and I decided to pair this with, say a Barefaced Super Twin...which I am currently mulling over...one would imagine that pairing capable of rather considerable Heft......or would that offer considerable Oooomph (Umph!) instead......or is "Heft" greater or lesser than or equal to "Oooomph / Umph"...?!

It's all too confusing, I think we need a chart to define such terms. 

 

You will find that you won't lack any of the aforementioned words when using the Quilter, I have a few good amps to choose from, and the Quilter is up there with any of them when delivering oomph, heft, the brown note, b**l*cks or whatever else you want to call it, especially through a Barefaced. It will do it through anything else I've connected mine to as well, so don't let that stop you from looking at other cabs.

These 2 have just closed out after 19 years and over a thousand gigs.

I bought a version 1 V3 a while back, just before the version 2's were announced as it happened, nothing to touch it at the price or a good bit more imo.
