Very Matamp - send a pic to Jeff Lewis?

I usually colour code my low-end leads with yellow tape at each end - if ain't got tape, it ain't bass............

Ampstack shared their album. 14 March at 17:44 · Knob tip: If you are one of those people that always runs same settings on your amp, take the knobs off and put them all on straight up or in highest position when on your favoured settings, then it is easy to reset if you have to lend an amp at a gig or whatever.

I use plastic cable drums from my local hardware shop for speaker leads (all of mine are 10m, so no confusion)- the drums were originally full of chain, which they sell pretty fast - & I get 'em free (I put something in the charity box).

I'm a sound system - about 15k+ without the music (prob over 4/5k) - not bad for someone who don't work no more............

Worth a nose around the neighbourhood to see if you have any new industry locally - their kit could be causing problems - I had this with EMI in hayes a few years ago.............

Oh it was you in my shop at the weekend............?

"When I watch clips from Glastonbury it always looks rainy. As a matter of fact from what I see all your outdoor festivals are rainy." .....It does rain (a bit) in the UK............

...........And thus was born Glastonbury.....................

That'll be about 10% across the board?

Just checked my rig settings - It would seem I start level & tweak accordingly................

Back in the Stone Age I was sharing a stage with Shakin' Stevens - the lead gitard has just got an amp (Fender?) with eq, & asked if I could help set it up (what did I know?) - we landed up with everything level.................

Ahem......this is a family show............

..........And that's why some are professionals.......... It's always a delight to work with crew (& musos) who know their stuff..........

Stunning thread - thank you for sharing with us ........absolute respect & congratulations!

DISCO LADY JOHNNY TAYLOR-1976 - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3JkEoQ0Cz8

As far as I am aware, he was a millionaire before he went in.................

I was married to someone who wouldn't listen to Jerry Lee or David Soul......... ........I mean, really? ....jeez

Trawl Crack Convertors - almost certainly one within 20 miles (thieves are lazy barstewards)

I had an accountant who charged for absolutely everything (not only that, they helped fook up a 180k house sale) I'm now with another outfit who advertised 'no charges for phone advice'. Seven years on, they are still good - and about 30% cheaper than the other mob.

If your accountant is one who charges everytime you call -CHANGE HIM There are plenty that do'nt.

I've possibly posted this before - years ago I lived in an end terrace cottage. I got on ok with the adults, but the late teenage kid hated me (why?). One weekend, with the parents away, he mounted his stereo speakers on the adjoining wall and proceeded to turn the volume up. I tried to raise some reaction by knocking on the front door, but this onset was obviously deliberate............. I faced one of my sound system boxes against the party wall and played Count Ossie Mystic Revelation of Rastafari at about 100watts, set to 'repeat'.......... I went down the pub, until around chucking out time. .....I never had a moments problem from that day on.............. (yeah, I know, I'd probably be in loads of trouble if I did it now)

I'd think about where the amp is - does it face away from the neighbnour? Too close to walls can cause a vibration - I know it's obvious............

Big valve amps - great in my lounge, but for road use I have a Crown Drivecore XLS2000 (and Barefaced cabs)
