Damn, what I wouldn't give to be there...!

Just discovered this wee clip of Herbie. He's still with us, bless him.

You've omitted the left handers!

I have two and really like them after trying a TSA15 at a Basschat gig (the TSA15 would qualify for inclusion too, probably). I think you might have to get yours looked at because mine are dead quiet and plenty loud. Although mine sort of went down in volume after about three years of use. I tried switching the output valves but it didn't help. I suspect the power caps might need replacement which would be a surprise because the amps have never been thrashed - volume never past 4. I agree about the brightness but that's normal for combos with small speakers. I also have a 5F2 tweed clone made by a chinese company who export. I believe they're marketed in the UK under the brand Morris and are hand made with top notch components including orange sprague caps. The company used to ghost/OEM build the Peavey Classic 30. The amp is quiet, clean and plenty loud enough - louder than the TSA5's at the moment (because it's newer I guess). If you push it, the amp will get grindy and snarly but has more headroom than a 5E3.

For the purpose of maintaining visibility? Yes, it's an idea and perhaps be trialled if there's enough interest.

It wasn't due to the bass player.

its odd how only admin can see it though

I don't have any quick answers at this point in time, I'm sorry. @Woodinblack are you able to shed any light on it?

I thought their biggest hits had him playing an Aria Magna...?

Do you mean this bump function?

Found these guys today - I can't think of many bands that can jump from Toto to Pink Floyd to Steely Dan to Dire Straits to Queen and do it all in a way that absolutely respects the original tracks and the musicians who played them. No short cuts here. Hell, they're living the dream and who wouldn't want to be up there?

A browser hijack was at the back of my mind also...!

Weird...I guess we'll never know...! Perhaps you could name your phone the Twilight Zone.

It's not behaviour I would expect to see! Question is...is it you or is it us? If it's us, I'd expect to see more than just one member having issues but that isn't necessarily cut and dried. Do you get the same thing happening with different browsers?

Sort of - I definitely have regrets from not buying a bass when I had a chance to. I played a plain looking Celinder J Update 5 in the Bass Gallery back in 2009 I think it must have been. A time when I was selling off quite a few bits and pieces in preparation to emigrate. The asking price was 2250 quid and it was the jazz bass I had been hearing in my head. Full, snarly, crisp and it played like liquid Jesus butter. I've never played a jazz bass like it since. The only other time I had that experience was playing a Spector NS5CR owned at the time by a BC member who no longer posts on here. It was at a bassbash and I made a mental note to myself to grab it if it ever came up for sale. It did come up for sale and I missed it. Then it passed hands one more time and then came up for sale a third time and I jumped on it. It's been with Mr Shuker for a while to get a slight neck warp sorted but that was my main bass...ironically ever since I stopped gigging. The last one is Dood's Shuker 6 string headless. We compared his and mine at the LBGS one time - maybe in 2013 or maybe 2009. I can't recall. I remember humming and aaaahing over the spec, wanting something like my Smith but with a little more midrange. On paper, the spec was right but my bass never quite got there tonally. It's a fine sounding instrument but very piano sounding rather than snarly in the mids. I tried Dood's though and it was everything I'd been looking for. How much simpler my life could have been if I'd just asked Jon to copy Dood's spec...but it's not for sale so not totally relevant.
