    a groupie for the night

    A Rumble with the vintage button in gets you a long way there.

    My band uses two Line 6 stage source powered speakers. Only lead vocal and the bass drum go through it, so it isn't over stretched, and the internal two channel mixer is sufficient which is a bonus. Does the job.

    The best sound I get is when I practice at home, plugging directly into a Focusrite and then monitored on a pair of cheap Sennheiser headphones. All my basses, cheap or expensive, sound equally fab. No amp in a live situation has ever matched this.

    We took out an annual Allianz policy for about £80 - so, £20 each in our band. Money well spent; thank god we haven't needed it so far. Very easy to complete the paperwork, no tricky questions.

    This is spot on, there's no point expecting the singer to sing material they can't 'own'.

    In excellent condition, hardly used, with mains supply, sustain pedal and gig back. Lovely weighted action, feels very classy. Headphone and digital out. Not to heavy if you need to lug it around. Here's the manual if you want the specs: https://uk.yamaha.com/en/products/musical_instruments/pianos/p_series/p-45/downloads.html Collection only from Faversham.

    All pedals include postage to UK mainland: Fender tuner, a nice old classic, works fine but the tuner 'paddle' can pop out if the pedal is knocked around/left upside down. £15 Sub n Up, boxed with the paperwork, used once so as new but not for me. £70 Sonicake ABY, bought for a project but never used, so as new, boxed with the paperwork. £15 Unichorus, gigged a few times, a bit of velcro residue on the bottom but otherwise as new, boxed with paperwork. £65 Or a fiver less for collection, Faversham. If you want any more pictures, drop me a PM.

    so why did the pawn shop owner let it go so cheap?

    privileged information

    why is it deemed impressive when the privileged rip off ordinary folk? Tw*ts, both of them.

    On the pick question... I prefer to play (most songs) with fingers, but the band asks me to play (most songs) with a pick. They say the extra attack helps them hear me more distinctly and keeps the overall sound tight. (Only vocals and the kick drum go through the PA unless we are playing at festivals). I instinctively prefer the sound (and feel) of finger playing but tend to agree with the band that, when listening back to live recordings, most songs sound better with pick playing .

    thanks, I think I get it now - black circle = posts unread and click on to take me straight to the new material; black star = posts unread in a thread I've contributed to and click on to take me straight to the new material; no circle / grey star = no new threads. makes perfect sense now, and no more scrabbling around to find the latest info 🙂

    When following a thread, is there an easy 'one click' way to get to the first unread entry, instead (as I do) trying to guess what page I last read and shuffling through the entries to find the first unread one?

    I've got a 500 which is plenty in our band, a four-piece blues/rock outfit.

    Bad luck mate. I had a fault on mine once, I approached the company and they weren't interested in helping. I took it to a local tech who sorted it out no problem.

    I've just remembered, Graham Jones repaired our Yamaha piano and did a great job.

    check out East Street Music in Faversham, their tech has done excellent repair for me in the past.

    Fender PT-100 tuner, fully working, a little bit beaten up from use but a sturdy piece of kit, just come off my pedal board as I'm short of space (I've gone for a mini tuner, which is not as cool as this). It is best treated with a bit of TLC (i.e. not thrown around in a gig bag) as the tuner footswitch 'paddle' can pop out if it is jolted around when upside down, but if this happens it pops straight back in and works perfectly. Classic styling for all you Fender fans! +£5 UK mainland postage.

    I haven't tried the Broughton, but I have a Vong Filterung on my board and it is excellent - as well as the HPF it has a LPF (switchable on the toggle) and a DI out. You can set the frequencies for both the H&LPFs, and you can toggle polarity should you ever need to. It's really handy as the last pedal in the chain.

    I missed the bit about the Americana band - go for the Rumble 500. I've got one, it is a brilliant combo.
  24. NHM
    the Fender Rumble 100 will tick your box; it's perfect for a gig monitor and practice amp at home. It has a great range of tones, it's lightweight and the reliability seems to be excellent.

    Eight birdies (or mini-par 16 cans) need to fly the nest! Ideal for a small stage, rehearsal room, man cave or brothel. All in very good condition, the odd scratch and bit of tape residue here and there, easily cleaned up. All eight have a colour frame and 240v led lamp, but one is missing the lamp holder. The yokes are all sturdy and lock off properly, a common fault on these. Also a pack of coloured gels cut to size. + £5 postage UK mainland.
