Big Prince fan here, although I gave up after '2010'. Many of his old B-sides pee all over other people's A-sides!

[quote name='bobbass4k' timestamp='1430735291' post='2764068'] It;s worth noting that voltage doesn't operate this way though, providing more voltage than something is rated for will blow it up. [/quote] A point well worth making. There are some pedals that can operate, and may give different/better results, at higher voltages than specified (e.g. many analog delays, chorus and flanger pedals), but you need to know the specs of all the chips inside before risking this!

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1430732996' post='2764033'] Maybe Behringer bought TC so they could start using their power rating methods as they quote even higher differentials. . . Sorry, couldn't resist [/quote] Think of a number and double it?

No you definitely won't blow up your pedals. The Volto will happily supply any current [i]up to[/i] 2000mA. The lower the current you actually draw, the longer the Volto battery will last.

[quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1430733492' post='2764039'] Musicians union members have ooodles of free PLI. [/quote] £10,000,000 to be precise, but that applies only to the member i.e. it covers [u]me[/u] if some of my kit trips up a punter and they break their arm.

This should be the retailer's problem, not yours!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1430653067' post='2763374'] Seriously though, all I want is a decent all-valve amp that doesn't burst my scrotum when I pickup it up, then I'm done. [/quote] You need to try the Mesa Prodigy. I know it wasn't for me, but it definitely meets your second requirement!

Yes, I totally get this. Ideally you want to feel the start of the bonding process in the shop (I have never yet bought a bass untried) but you can still get caught out and later find you haven't fallen in love with the instrument.

[quote name='Bassman Sam' timestamp='1430609929' post='2763110'] True Lozz but I'm going to have to try every combination. I think my head will explode. [/quote] Ah, option anxiety - I remember it well from my days of guitar multi-effects and multi-channel amps...

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1430612850' post='2763133'] One thing chaps, if you have suspicions or concerns about an advert, it'd be much gentler and nicer to tell me or another mod about it by PM. [/quote] Yep, I get that.

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1430578108' post='2762800'] Hello I have discovered a few unlikely coincidences in that thread that will need to be explained before it is unlocked again. [/quote] [quote name='icastle' timestamp='1430578724' post='2762803'] Often there's nothing untoward going on, but sometimes there is. If you see something suspicious then let me know, hit the report button or just drop me a PM and I'll look into it. I'd rather look into a thousand false alarms than have a 'con' slip through the net. [/quote] Good work icastle!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1430572646' post='2762743'] I saw them in 1977 or 1978 (before they were signed) at the recently-opened Swindon Oasis - they supported Talking Heads (who I had gone to see) and I had no clue who they were. They sounded like a pub rock band to me. Talking Heads were totally fabulous. At that time I did not think DS were [i]quite [/i]as fabulous, and nothing they did after that changed my mind. So, thpp! *Runs away thumbing nose - crashes into lamp-post - is rendered unconscious - instant karma* Edit - Many years later the Gallagher brothers saw Inspiral Carpets there and used the name of the venue for their equally unremarkable pub-rock band. Not many people know that. [/quote] I knew that, as local radio made a big thing of it at the time. Anyway each to their own - Talking Heads leave me cold!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1430569392' post='2762699'] I'd be showing him the door much sooner than that if he started playing [i]Sultans of Swing[/i]. [/quote] Ahem! I'm really rather fond of Dire Straits. Care to step outside?

Maybe a mod with IP address skills (hello icastle!) could do a bit of digging?

[quote name='Bassistclem' timestamp='1430563244' post='2762607'] Want to see the steely dan tribute band at some point, heard they're great, believe the bass player is on basschat. [/quote] I think you're referring to [url="http://www.nearlydan.co.uk/"]Nearly Dan[/url] and BC member Pete Academy. There is also a Steely Dan tribute in this area called [url="http://www.strictlydan.com/"]Strictly Dan[/url].

[quote name='lurksalot' timestamp='1430513509' post='2762296'] FFS a brewery in Holt , Wiltshire , you have NO chance of getting spotted there , I mean Holt , who goes there ? [/quote] I went there once in the 90s, but then I live in Wiltshire.

Key centre of the OP is E. This sequence is sometimes referred to as a double plagal cadence.

I see [quote name='scoobystig' timestamp='1430496360' post='2762090'] [url="http://www.joinmyband.co.uk/classifieds/musicians-bandsacts-t746888.html"]http://www.joinmyban...ts-t746888.html[/url] Just like this !! [/quote] They couldn't even organise a p!ss-up in a brewery. Oh, wait...

In the context of the many badly-relic'd guitars and basses that can be found on eBay, RARE means '[i]lightly[/i] toasted with a blow-torch'.

From my experience: 1x12 = enough 1x12 + 1x10 > enough => 1x10 + 1x10 = enough
