[quote name='aitkenaudio' timestamp='1506032784' post='3376081'] Maybe you should invest in a nice speaker level DI to go with it and hopefully a midget will be loud enough for stage monitoring [/quote] Ummmm, thats interesting. Any recommendations? I actually use in ears but the guitarist would still need a bit of bass. Would like us all to have the option too, just in case...

Hi, thanks for the insight. I'm not sure it will be powerful enough to gig with because of compact cab constraints (space issues at home). I've been thinking Barefaced Midget/Compact or there are some 12" empty JBL enclosures for sale on here. I'd love to go "Large" but space and the old back dictate otherwise!

Just picked one of these up at a good enough price today. No doubt it will need a bit of work. One of the pots is a bit crackly and it hasnt been used in a long time. All working though! It's going to a valve tech wizard on Saturday for the "real" verdict. There's been a couple of threads about these in the past concerning good pairings with cabs etc but that was a while ago. Has anyone any recommendations of which compact cab would be suitable or even drivers to fit in an enclosure? It says written on the back 8ohm. I'm hoping it will go to 4 but won't really know 100% until Saturday. Unless of course we have our own "wizard" on BC?

[quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1505860851' post='3374879'] £150 or so is the going price for these, seems like that's always been the case, probably because they're bomb-proof and there are thousands of them around. And Ebay's full of delusionals & chancers with ludicrous BINs & start prices. And they never, ever sell.... [/quote] Always liked the Thunder range. The MK2 is good too but the Mk3's are excellent. I've got a 2 MK2 which is basically a Thunder 3 and it's great. The most under rated bass I've ever played.

What a kin mess! There's a red one on that looks well for £140 BIN too!

Enjoy it. It will be great! Try and keep a sense of humour and remember your gear and you'll be fine! Good luck!

[quote name='mikel' timestamp='1505335522' post='3371205'] By me, and its a web forum, I dont need to justify my likes and dislikes, thank you. None of us do, its a bit of nonsense. [/quote] Agreed, just wondering the source.

[quote name='mikel' timestamp='1505330125' post='3371154'] Agreed, the Sex Pistols. Talk about hype. They were not even in the top 100 best Punk bands. [/quote] A poll taken by whom? There weren't even a 100 punk bands anyway? Unless we are including the mostly dire post 1979 offerings...

[quote name='upside downer' timestamp='1505321669' post='3371058'] AC bastard DC. [/quote] Another lot!

Meatloaf, Meatloaf and Meatloaf. And Queen I suppose. My greatest fear is being trapped in a confined space with the nauseous songs, Bat Out of Hell and Bohemian Rhapsody being played over and over again. Hang on a minute, that's just like being in most pubs all over the country at weekends! �� PS. U2 as well. A bad enough pretentious band but when they and equally pretentious Green Day murdered The Skids song, The Saints Are Coming, they went onto my "Sh*t List"!

[quote name='Bolo' timestamp='1504942243' post='3368407'] In what situation does a drummer need to hear vocals? Is he on backing vox duty? [/quote] We won't be carrying floor monitors anymore and needs something to hear what the singers doing. The singers been known to not follow a set list and omit a verse or two!

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1504919858' post='3368362'] My only suggestion would be to look at 'sports' ones, that clip around the ear and stay in place, like these... [url="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-MDR-AS210-Sports-Splashproof-Headphones-Black/dp/B01LDKH2PG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504919643&sr=8-1&keywords=sony+earphones+sport"]Sony MDR-AS210 Sports In-Ear Splashproof Headphones ...[/url] Drumming can be quite physical (depending on character and repertoire...), so he'd want 'em to stay in place. I can't think of anything special, otherwise. He sounds like a bit of a cheapskate, really, unless he's simply skint, of course. Hope this helps. [/quote] Thanks for the advice, I'll check them out. He's not skint and not a cheapskate really. It's sort of that he's totally unaware of the benefits and needs a push. I'm sure that if he could hear the difference, he would splash out. Hence, budget stuff. He hasn't got a clue about inputs and outputs and wouldn't dare touch a fader!

Any ideas about budget ear buds for a drummer? He wont wear phones. I'm going to end up paying so the cheaper the better! I should imagine that they will mainly be for vocals. We're using a digital desk and he will be hard wired. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Only sold mine as I found that with PA support, I didn't need such a wonderful setup and bought an Ashdown MiBass 400w 1x10 combo. It does everything I need it to do and more but still hanker for my Midget and Compact back!

[quote name='mrtcat' timestamp='1504820603' post='3367649'] Pretty much. And to double as pa in another project I do. [/quote] Much to my dismay, I have an unused pair of FR800's gathering dust due to being unable to get 5 people in the same place at the same time!

Bought a Soundcraft desk from Andy. It arrived safe, proto and as described. Nice guy to deal with. Have no fear! Thanks again Andy. Cheers Dunc
