The main difference in my opinion is that you get a lot more time wasters and tyre kickers on Facebook than anything else. I've cleared a bit of gear recently, advertising here, gumtree and fb and and it has mostly sold through facebook so it seems to be the preferred method at the moment but you do get a lot more enquiries that lead to nothing.

I recently winced when I was told I needed to learn Livin on a Prayer which irritates the hell out of me, but I've quite enjoyed learning the bass part as it is an interesting line. Any other songs that fit this category?

Its handy if you use headphones but otherwise feels a bit unnecessary apart from managing volume at home. Does what it says on the tin though

I have had the bugera for a couple of weeks now and have to say Im really impressed. I have used it at home and at 2 rehearsals (first gig on 31st) and it is a quality amp especially for the money. So for £178 essentially half the price of a 2nd hand equivelant powered amp (OBT, genz streamliner, mark bass etc.) With warranty feels like a bargain. I've got it paired with a barefaced 2Ten and haven't had to push it passed 9 oclock to keep up with the band. Great warm tones from the valves which gets dirty if you push the gain but not as aggressive as my old obt. The preamp volume is a nice touch and makes it more usable at home. I pushed the treble a bit to 3 oclock to get the tone I like but sounds good with everything set flat. Only minor criticism is that the mid boat doesn't do much to my ears but that is me being picky. All in all it's a bargain a d the band seem to like it too.

Thanks for the help your explanation makes sense. Rehearsed it for the first time on thurs and it went ok. Getting there with it.

Give PMT a call they have them in stock and got one to Bristol for me which came for another branch. They should be able to get one to the London shop for you.

I know we all like specific measurement on here but I'd say it's just a very nice neck. It feels like a Jazz neck, Slim but it has some depth to it. It felt a lot nicer to my hands in the shop than a mexican Jazz I tried but it's all pretty personal isn't it!

About 40 of the buggers at the moment for a new band. First rehearsal on Thurs first gig at the end of the month. Knights of Cydonia is proving to be a pain as the chord sequence at the start has no logical order in my mind but getting there through repetition. Also that arpeggio tapping bit (which I know is synth really) is a challenge for me.

Anyone able to help with a marketplace purchase of a cab. If anyone is driving past Luton and heading west and happy to collect for me I can arrange to meet you. Thanks

Essentially what it says in the title. I've read the logic about why it is 12 ohm or 4 ohm for the modular set up and not after a technical answer but I'm after this very much as a layman. If you use a single 2Ten how much difference can you actually hear with it set to 12 ohm rather than 4 ohm. It is a frugal question based on if I should consider an older 12 ohm model on it's own as they tend to be cheaper.

Now sold out at Thomann

As in the title?

I will post once I've had a proper go with it. Stupidly sold my old OBT & BF compact rig a year ago as hadn't been gigging. Now I've joined a new band I want something similar again. I loved the OBT but the tone is a bit limited so was very tempted by the valvyness of these. Cheers for the recommendation but at that price and with 30 days to return it feels a fairly safe bet! I've just got to replace the barefaced now!

Oops on your recommendation I've just clicked buy! Should be here tomorrow. I've also got a peavey mini max coming in from thomann so will be good to compare. As I see it you can get 2 new class d heads with warranty for less than a lot of the competitors 2nd hand prices e.g. £350 2nd hand for an OBT Genz streamliner etc.

I've just noticed that amazon are now doing these for under £180 which seems nuts. To those who have had one for a while: Any issues and is worries about the bugera brand just snobbishness? Does it come with a 3 year warranty? Amazon seems a bit vague and the link on this? Cheers

I think andertons are still doing them at £400. I also tried the tobacco burst maple neck ones which are very nice too.
