Thanks for the advice everyone, got a pair of ER20's in time for a gig on Christmas Eve and they went down a treat. Could be worth investing in a better pair in the future but for the price I couldn't expect anything better.

Not sure if this is something that's asked regularly but I've come to accept I'm going to need better plugs than the cheap ubiquitous rubber ones. I always start a gig with them and take them out halfway through because I just can't hear myself Can anyone recommend any comfortable earplugs with flat frequency response (ie; so I can hear everything equally, especially myself) while playing? Preferably something that doesn't cost an arm and a leg due to student budget and a looming overdraft

Both Mark and the drummer left a couple of weeks ago, one of their guitarists left a couple of months ago. As far as I understand they wanted to focus on other projects, including Mark's Low end University. This left just Chris Letchford, who writes all/most of the bands material anyway. The new drummer was announced quite recently but yet to fill in the other roles Been a fan of the band for quite a few years now, I love Mark's playing on The Migration, excellent feel and approach to melody. Couldn't quite get used to his tone on the latest album, though.

Thanks for all the advice fellas I'm currently using a MB NY 122 with a TA503, the case for the amp actually has velcroing on the underside which has proved useful in sticking itself to the carpeting on the cab. Whether this was an intentional part of the design, I'm not sure, but it works well. I don't think I'd trust it with the stand though so I'll have to figure it out if I decide to get it. Reckon it would hold a 2x12 well? Can't see it being a problem but if it's designed to use with combos I could run into some issues with the dimensions and weight.
