Just got an email from John East - BGM is going to make a visit to John's workshop in this months issue ( or is it next month's ? ) BGM will be finding out what just what a genius and genuine good guy he is. Makes good tea & toast too Seems Shuker is going to be a feature as well [IMG]http://i66.tinypic.com/1zp14t1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i63.tinypic.com/25zi9gi.jpg[/IMG]

I'm thinking of ordering these baddies for our wedding / church band

3 pedals, 4 sounds, for 4 different tracks. The rest of the set is straight through, and i dont mess with pedal settings. They're set and thats it. The only trimming is backing off the volume at the beginning of the track for the Env Filter as there's a smidgeon of vol boost with that

It`s easy to knock PM as he`s a virtually a national treasure, but really, wrote all those songs, came up with all those great basslines, did all those great vocals/harmonies. Whether or not you like his stuff, think it`s only the daft that don`t understand what he`s done. [/quote] I loved the bass line so much i did learn it, but only for my own amusement. Our band only does one PM song, and its Wings BOTR. The bass line in that is pretty damn good too

I was going to say it says more about the people that bought his music, but then who am i to judge on what others like. My dad detested the ' racket ' that i listened to as young un. I dont get that sort of cr*p , but its not cr*p to those who like it, and my dad didn't get the ' racket' i liked back in the day. he still doesn't

The bass line on Paperback Writer - its a killer. Simple but oh so effective A genius

And just to say so long Scott - a sad loss of talent and a proper human being. The song that many people misunderstood ( especially guys ) , but was in fact a reaction to his girlfriend being gang raped. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aDxyfH3Uqs

If i was feeling flush right now, i'd buy it. Would probably drive me round the bend, though

That reminds me....i must get my ironing done.

Good point there BRX I never thought of all these things, so i guess its making sense now. Didn't do me any good, but what the hey

I dont think they do that, and the proof seems to be the printing on the back of the amps. I have seen both US and UK versions with different printing ... 110 - 120v on the US model and 230 - 250v on the UK model. So i'd say we would have to buy the amp specific to our voltage

Yup, never thought about H&S and other regs. I sort of felt that it wasn't that simple, hence asking the question, because i was sure there were suitable reasons. I just couldnt think of any, but your suggestions sound quite feasible

I didnt see anyone on here selling a BX1600, not that was still for sale anyways AS for the switching, yes i read their website description. Its country specific, just as the guy told me in the US, so his used example was sadly no good to me,.

Kerching !! I got 2 of these bad boys - a steal at £8.99 each and they fold utterly flat [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Plastic-Multi-Purpose-Folding-Step-Stool-Home-Kitchen-Foldable-Carry-Storage-/171975118461?var=470862772304&hash=item280a840e7d:m:mCwNfNdiIh8RWTU1lZOn8og"]http://www.ebay.co.u...Ih8RWTU1lZOn8og[/url]

After having looked at a few amp heads, and specifically i was tempted by a Carvin BX1600 in the USA as a possible head, used in good condish, but this amp is country specific, so i was told and 120v, rather than having auto internal voltage switching In this day and age, whats the point in having country specific voltage ? It seems daft to me, since plenty of amp builders throw in some kind of voltage switching, depending on whether it needs 110/120v or 230/250v Maybe there's a good reason for having to make different amps for different countries mains voltage, but surely for economics, its just as easy to fit a voltage switch, and therefore, more possible customers ? Maybe i'm missing something. Brain cells, perhaps

Yup, those Klotz LY240T cables are 11mm O/D, but the high flex model, so not stiff at all Mine isnt much good to me at the mo, as it would turn my two 8 ohm cabs into a 16 ohm load Should be easy enough to rewire the inside gubbins to parallel though
