Struggling to comprehend why you needed to put a mic on that! -
You sound very certain. Have you tried?

I was happily gigging a 50W valve head (Ampeg PF-50T) before lockdown, only replaced it because of GAS and my self-imposed 1-in-1-out rule.

Annoying things people say to musicians

Sadly I once had a guitarist I was playing with query why 4 strings were ‘not enough’ for me. Yes, a guitarist, with his 6 strings. He was less than half my age, so I guess it was ok to let him off for that one. -
I have my first gig since March a week tomorrow. I play bass in a Bowie tribute and we are doing a 45 min set in a 4-piece (rather than 6-piece) lineup, which means I get to play lead guitar for a change. We will be playing outdoors at a pub that lets us rehearse FOC in their skittle alley, so happy to help them even if we don’t get paid much/anything. Rehearsal this week was hugely enjoyable, can’t wait for the gig - fingers crossed for decent weather.

I think it was actually Arlen Roth who tutored Macchio.

I had assumed that the Unity combos were Class D. Regardless of whether they are any good, Blackstar are almost guaranteed to sell some of these. The shops that have accounts with them (particularly smaller ones, not that there are many left) will be required to take some into stock, and the folks who go in looking for 'a bass amp' will be pointed to this range.

I used to get that bus.

Interesting comment on the headroom - I got a Scarlett 6i6 last year and it was a real game changer in that at last I had plenty of headroom for direct recording bass without compressing the bejaysus out of it. Pleased to say I haven't had the disco lights experience...

Auditioned for a guitarist and it's too close to call

I’m gravitating towards the first one. Amp twiddling gets on my wick! -

Budget option - Alesis PercPad (about £70 new) - 4 velocity sensitive pads, can be extended with kick and hi-hat triggers/switches. MIDI out but no USB. Alesis ControlPad - 8 velocity sensitive pads, can be extended with kick and hi-hat triggers/switches. About £100 used form eBay, but tend to be bashed up with stick marks! MIDI and USB outs. I went for a Cubeat (I paid £40 used off eBay) - 6 velocity sensitive pads plus kick and hi-hat switches (not velocity sensitive). Looks like a toy but is in fact a class-compliant device. USB only. Unfortunately there is an issue with note lengths that requires a work-around when recording to a DAW.
