  1. I think it's more genres of music that I can't stand. For instance, the pseudo operatic wailing of Bruce Dickinson just instantly boils my pi55. I don't mind a bit of heavy music but don't go all 'Pavarotti' on me, please.
  2. The one in our setlist I dislike at the moment is Bad Moon Rising. Not that it's a particularly bad song, but there are so many great CCR songs and everybody plays this and Proud f'ing Mary.
  3. No valves in these. Enclosure just makes it look more 'old school' but light as a feather.
  4. I Feel the Earth Move - Carole King
  5. Engineers generally like as clean a signal as possible which means pre EQ. That's all well and good until you run into a sound engineers who doesn't know what a bass should sound like.
  6. 2U Shallow rack case. 19" wide, 14.5" deep (centre section is 8.5" deep). Carry handles on both ends. Hard plastic and aluminium construction. Unused. Fixing screws included. Price is £40. Will post at cost or collection near Ely, Cambs.
  7. It would be worth it! I bought my 2x12 about 6 years ago and haven't even thought about another cab since then.
  8. Used to really enjoy playing You Oughta Know - Alanis Morrisette when I played in a band with a girl singer. Great stuff from Flea on that one and nice dynamics in the song too.
  9. Rolling and Tumbling - Muddy Waters
  10. I've just turned 65. My back is fine while I'm playing but kicks in big time at the end of gigs when I have to get down to unplug the pedal board or extension leads. I'm starting to develop a strategy now where the first thing I do is take the bass out to the car at the end of a gig. That little walk about seems to help to get a bit of gentle movement into my lower back. I've also got a rotator cuff issue but that is actually helped by lifting stuff with my arm pointing straight down so that's not too bad. P.S. I've agreed to help some friends (who are doing a self build) tomorrow. Pouring a 180m2 concrete slab. Half of the 'crew' have dropped out at the last minute, so what I thought might be quite an easy day doesn't look so good now. Dreading it to be honest but I'll give it a go.
  11. I have the 2x12 version of this cab and it's an absolute belter. Handles whatever you throw at it and sounds fantastic. These are incredibly light and the sound dispersal is also excellent, meaning you can clearly hear what you're playing on stage. Anyone who buys this is in for a treat.
  12. Geddy Lee. I can appreciate the skill and dexterity but it just leaves me cold. Probably genres of music as much as anything but similar with Steve Harris.
  13. Just the Two Of Us - Bill Withers
  14. Chips In the Night - BeBop Deluxe
  15. Just sold Gerry a Spectracomp pedal. Pleasure to deal with.
