Very impressed. Very.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1471728870' post='3115457'] I'm over 6 foot myself, not as bad as people would think are they?! Ta dood it's not bad is it, still got the original Rover tape player, just turned onto 28k miles on the way to the gig. most of them have disolved now, we are planning on keeping this one forever, it's our 6th since 1998, ace cars! [/quote] I think it's because of the way that you sit in a mini, kinda like a go cart with your knees up rather than out-stretched. It's not bad at all! Looking great - my first was a T Reg that I had Slot Mag alloys and a 10" steering wheel. So much fun! The second was a little black beast that I sold when I got a company car back when I was in my early twenties. If only I knew then what I know now eh! 28K? That's amazing! My T Reg dissolved. I was changing the brakes one day when I discovered I could push a screwdriver through the rear subframe *gulp*. Needless to say the car didn't go back on the road!

[quote name='Dan Dare' timestamp='1471542499' post='3113881'] May not need to buy new to get it on instalments. If you buy used from someone/somewhere where you can use PayPal, you can put it on your plastic and pay it off monthly. A couple of decent looking TC2x10s on Fleabay at the moment. [/quote] [quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1471547519' post='3113923'] Getting " Tick " on PP That's a dangerous bit of info for me to hear [/quote] Yeah, adding my credit card to my PayPal account did result in finally getting some kit I desperately needed... Interest free! PayPal do offer credit too should that be needed.

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1471683693' post='3114961'] Buy one of our One10 cabs and use it for a month - if it doesn't do what you need we'll have it collected and give you a full refund waiving the usual return postage cost. If my recommendation is wrong it won't cost you anything! [/quote] Jaw dropping customer service!

I dearly loved my Mini! Well, I had two. Which may seem odd for someone 6'3" in stature. That one looks in great nick! Cool bass rig too

Gigged the B-Amp today with a Barefaced Big Twin II. What do you think I thought about it?

[quote name='acidbass' timestamp='1471698672' post='3115167'] My choice would be an Aguilar Tonehammer 500 which you could find used within your budget, it could replace any larger head too for bigger gigs. [/quote] Another great amp! Tonally different from the TC or GK, but very pleasing.

[quote name='bigjimmyc' timestamp='1471723759' post='3115388'] +1 for this. I'm very happy with my BH800 as my main amp. Extremely flexible. [/quote] Is superb yes.

[quote name='P Kool B' timestamp='1471711239' post='3115272'] Sorry, I should've been a bit more clearer in regards to effects- I've got plenty, but I want to try to avoid them, so I don't want to be buying something for an inflated price for an option I (probably) won't use, although I shall definitely check out all the recommendations given so far. In regards to the two posters re GK MB Fusion - I am so tempted. So so tempted. [/quote] The TC kit even with the effects on are not more expensive than comparable heads. Of course you needn't use the effects, but I think an amp with an on board tuner is a winner.

SmoothHound customer service is extraordinarily good. Chris even came up to Dood Towers today to talk tech and get down with the geekery! Top chap! Great set - Bonkers good especially for the money!!

How far down the E string can Sub n' Up track without warbling?

[quote name='Glennalli' timestamp='1471633863' post='3114703'] It's actually made in 1979 if that helps you? [/quote] Apologies I just spotted my typo. I meant to say that the model number for a SB is '1992'

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1471636105' post='3114729'] I don't see how, when you could search the Marketplace here. [/quote] A good point lol

Was it made in 1992? - Just thought I'd ask as the the model number for a Super Bass is 1992! Quick search of eBay listings for sold kit doesn't really help much, but if I were to guess, £800 for a more modern unit? I have a rare '68 Super Bass and it has been valued by Marshall at nearer £2k. I wish I could help further! http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=1992+marshall+super+bass&_in_kw=1&_ex_kw=&_sacat=0&LH_Sold=1&_udlo=&_udhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sadis=15&_stpos=NR180FF&_sargn=-1%26saslc%3D1&_salic=3&_sop=7&_dmd=1&_ipg=200&LH_Complete=1

[quote name='planer' timestamp='1471591855' post='3114173'] I don't think my wife would even notice if I sold all my gear and it disappeared overnight. She is 'actively disinterested', which results in me playing less and less. [/quote] Think my partner would be happy to see it all sold and for me to get 'a real job'. Which results in my playing less and less.

But I do totally agree that Thunderbolt is brilliant. I've recently changed from a Roland USB Interface that was great, to a new Clarett interface from Focusrite. The performance on my relatively old iMac is absolutely mind boggling. Those published latency figures across Thunderbolt are, even for my machine pretty bang on. I'm having fewer issues processing 48+ audio tracks all with top spec plug-ins running on every channel. Very pleased indeed. Can't say enough good stuff about it.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1471369348' post='3112589'] The problem with USB on the Mac is that the bus structure is quite convoluted, so that your USB interface may be sharing the bus with other devices without you knowing it. And just because you have multiple USB ports doesn't mean that they are separate buses. From the photo it looks as though you have the same MacBook Pro as me - (13" Mid 2012). Looking at the bus structure in the System Profile there are 2 separate USB buses - but one already has the keyboard, trackpad, IR receiver and Bluetooth controller attached to it, and the other has the built-in FaceTime camera. Also despite the fact that the Mac supports USB3 on one of the buses, this is ultimately connected via an internal USB hub to one of the main USB2 buses, [b]so despite supporting the USB3 protocol the speed will be throttled back to USB2[/b]. And every other USB peripheral that you add will be competing for USB2 bandwidth. That's why FireWire and Thunderbolt are always better options on the Mac. [/quote] I know that the ports are connected to a USB hub and know that traffic will be shared between devices, that's not unusual at all - but going to the effort of having a USB3 host on board, but still throttling it back to USB2? Then in theory, data transfer tests should deliver similar results on USB2 and USB3 ports. I'm just not sure that I buy that for *all* hardware. Maybe some architecture that bridged the gap between USB2 and USB3. I'd love to see that in some detail. It just seems totally counter-intuitive and no business sense for up to date hardware.

The wee screw on the side of the pot is to hold the knob on. If you undo the screw the knob can come off. Underneath that you will find a nut and hopefully a washer that is holding the pot in place by way of a thread that is coming through the hole in the pickguard. Sometimes it is possible to tighten that nut in situ, but I would prefer to pop the screws out of the pickguard (safe to do) and gently lift the corner up so you can get your fingers in to hold the pot still whilst you tighten up the nut with a spanner. Don't over-tighten. If you are going to that effort, you might just want to also make sure that no wires are being pulled tight or look frayed around the solder tags on each of the pots - if you can see. It doesn't hurt to take the strings off and carefully lift the whole guard off, but when you reseat it, make sure all of the wires sit back in their channels safely so they don't get squashed by the pickguard when refitted. I recently had a chap bring his American P over which had died on him. Turns out the previous owner had being tinkering with the electronics, caught a wire and over time it cracked.
