[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1468077653' post='3088482'] Me too - used mine in a very big hall last night, no FOH, and didn`t need to turn up louder or adjust eq due to the size of the room. Gigging later on so two gigs in two nights for my trusty Super12T. [/quote] Have a good one Lozz We are over in Hatfield tonight, so fairly local for us. Handbox amp and BF

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1468074079' post='3088456'] That's not the impression I got. Before I got my first BF cab, and not knowing anything about the history of the company whatsoever, I would come across BF-related threads and I just could not understand the bahaviour of the participants. And by that I mean people seeming hellbent on jumping onto any BF thread to just be negative in a way that seemed... obsessive. It put me right off BF at first because it made me think that perhaps there was a reason behind that behaviour. Eventually the day came when I could try them for myself and... I still don't get that compulsive behaviour of some. I really don't. If there's any excessive lashing out from BF 'fans' (which is not pretty either) sometimes, it was not them who started it Of course you disagree. But my own observations are different from what you said, so I want to leave this message here [/quote] Same here. Anyway, whatever, I'm very much looking forward to gigging my BF tonight

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1468065859' post='3088389'] Peerless Retromatic B2 ... not quite white but ivory ... [/quote] What a cool looking instrument,

How brilliant, what a great experience to have had and more to look forward to.

Come on then, get on with it I'm looking forward to seeing this one take shape.

You're welcome.

Had a word with the boss man at HandBox and he has informed me that the R400 has more than 1 Mohm input impedance and is good for piezzo pick ups.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1467884398' post='3086931'] You can't go ramming old, frail deaf people with an Ashdown cab. It's not the done thing. [/quote] Quite right, you need to use a Barefaced it's got more heft

I will be in contact with the owner tomorrow, let me know if you haven't had a reply and I will find out for you.

What about the Handbox amps? WOT and I both have threads about them in this section of the forum. Lovely straight forward eq section. Here's a pic [url="https://flic.kr/p/GQRbnm"][/url]

You've gone all "arty and black and white " Lovely looking cab.

Had the pleasure of meeting up with Norm today, when he drove all the way down from way up North, to buy my lovely old Jazz bass. Happy to be able to say that Norm is another of the good guys, so deal with confidence Bass Chatters.

That looks like a real find, very handsome

[quote name='4stringslow' timestamp='1467545108' post='3084392'] I used to suffer from migraines in my youth but very fortunately grew out them in my teens, but I still remember how utterly dreadful they were. If such lights (or anything really) triggered a migraine then I'd give them zero tolerance too! [/quote] My migraine experience has been the opposite to yours, in that I never had them during my teens or early adult years. Didn't get my first one until my late forties. Like you say though, they are utterly dreadful things. What really cheeses me off is people who have a bit of a headache, describing it as a migraine

Hate those lights, my band has a pair of them. I really have a problem with them, in that they will trigger a migraine. I know that it annoys certain band mates but if one of the LED's is pointing in my direction, then I have to have it moved. It's that or packing up and going home

I do play everyday, although I have to say that more often than not, it's more of a general noodle and finger exercise, rather than structured practice.

Any BC'ers interested in taking a look at this amp, just let me know. Might even be able to arrange for a loan, if you would like to gig it.

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1467462153' post='3083845'] Yes. There are widgets you can get that will pull the information directly from Facebook. You just have to update your events on Facebook and it'll automatically list your upcoming events. [/quote] Tim, although I love playing with the band, I now mostly keep out of the PR/management and suggestion side of things and just play the bass

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1467402405' post='3083528'] I haven't read all the posts. Not a bad site. My suggestion, the second thing people should see on your home page is the time, date and place of your next gig. Blue [/quote] Agree with Blue, I suggested the same for our home page, when the band website was being put together. So, the band went with my suggestion, which was great but then it very rarely got updated, definitely not so great. I've since argued, that if it's not regularly updated, then it should be removed.

[quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1467402722' post='3083531'] Know it. ..and be a lengthy wait if you go for new... [/quote] Used would be my preferred choice.

I can't see the photo

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1467394409' post='3083437'] So i'll be the first one to post some Yammy love here then? Ok, here it is, needs no introductions: My bassface says it all: Had it's place at my wedding: It's my main bass, the one that i hook up flat to any amp and pumps out my tone immediatly. Hope that the pics are shown properly. [/quote] I just love that last pic.
