Excellent. It’s almost odd how making such a fundamental change to your set up seems to be so easy. I’ve been looking for something like this for years, I suppose the tech has finally caught up with the idea some of us have had for a long time, that of power/clarity/compact portability and all in one unit. I put my AER amp up for sale in order to fund the K12.2 purchase but I sold a couple of basses (the last of my standard scales) and that paid for the QSC so I was thinking of withdrawing the AER but it’s just sitting in the corner not getting played so it might as well go somewhere it’ll get use, can’t see myself going back to it.

Quite an interesting thread running on talkbass.com specifically about the QSC K12.2, seems to have been running since mid 2017 until Dec 2018. I thought it was worth a mention because one of the contributors is someone who works for QSC who answers a lot of the queries put to him... https://www.talkbass.com/threads/qsc-k12-2.1287735/

Heh. Only too happy to oblige! Oddly I have enjoyed quite a few things on Jools, Unthanks, Sleaford Mods, The Good, The Bad & The Queen, I just don’t like the Hootenanny. Then again I just don’t like NY.

Mind you, dripping in fosters as I am, @BassX2 is quite right, we are being right grumpy about Jools.

Indeed, keeping it pissy in 2019.

...pre-recorded toadying, ego-stroking cow poop at that.

Me too, as much as I was laughing I think most of it was precisely because it was uncomfortable.

See, now, I’d watch that...

Just had a rehearsal and wrote the bridge to our latest song, it was just one of those rehearsals where it all clicks, bliss.

The Hootenanny is always dull imho, the addition of Marc Almond just means one more reason not to watch.

...and stay out of the Woolworth.

Fopp? I don’t use Fopp. I’m a Dapper Dan man.

Hmmm there is more than ‘barely any’ when I do the same check on mine but that may be because it’s on a pile carpet, I will check on a hard floor... ...no, you’re right, not enough pressure to worry about, thanks for this. I have angled jacks and now I’m happily looking at angled XLRs.

Do you use angled power leads or adapters to solve that?

God this brings back memories of seeing New Model Army for the first time at Klub Foot at the Clarendon Hotel in Hammersmith, the one and only time I saw them with Stuart Morrow who was amazing.

I found exactly the same with the leads, even the mains lead it is supplied with is squished when the unit is in angled monitor position. I need the right angled power lead too!

Congratulations on the purchase, let us know how you get on with it.
