Would agree with that. The amount of musos on there who can't drive, don't own an amp, have label 'connections' and are just plain deluded. 

Has anyone had experience of the all valve 150W Bugera? 

I never quoted you in the first place though? You just took offence. If you would like to sort this in private, please PM me so we can keep this thread on topic.

I don't know why you have latched on to the chart thing - no-one mentioned charts other than you.  I haven't listened to the top 40 for decades - you make some appalling assumptions. Just accept we all like different things and leave it there.

Again - why are you taking offence to my comments that are not even directed at you? At lot of people on here judge success by album sales. Sure, that's one way of looking at it but to assume rock is dead because no one sells albums anymore well... that's just dead wrong. 

I think their next album cycle will result in them playing arenas, not theatres.

The bottom line here is that this is music and, like any art form, it is entirely subjective.  OP and some folks like them, that is great.  Myself and other 'muppets' don't - that's also great.  There is room for everything, folks!

The muppet thing wasn't directed at people who don't like GVF - as my post states, it is directed at the crowd who say 'rock is dead'. It really isn't - you just aren't looking hard enough to find it, i.e. stop listening to the top 40, expecting to hear great new bands!

Until Grandad gives them Houses Of The Holy to listen to.

I wonder who they would like more with fresh ears? 

You have to remember 'the kids' who like this band may have heard the name Led Zep but not actually heard any of their music. 

I feel that is rock is truly alive and well. Times have changed - rock isn't a mainstream thing that gets top 40 hits. That hasn't happened for a long time now. Plenty of original rock bands still out there, just don't expect to see them in the charts... it's why all these muppets keep mouthing off that rock is dead. It was dead in the 80s, 90s and 00s as well according to them.

Polytune. 

True, CMD 121P still looks like my best option. 

Please see them live first before passing judgement. You sound like all those punters who would also know how to guide England to World Cup victory.

Rocksound.TV anyone?

Billy's mistake was he tried to make an electronic album after Melancholy, arguably their heaviest album - d'oh!

Alex's mistake is that he's gone so far up his bottom, he now thinks he's in the 50s... Crying Lightning seems a long time ago. 

Thanks for your help. The single 1x12 without tweeter and MarkBass LM3 would be bang on my limit...

Yes, and I do prefer the standard one without the coaxial speaker as it suits more my taste. They can handle a lot of power and respond fast with a very good low end (don't expect them to go as low as an 18" 😉 ). The weight is what is announced. Some prefer front ported bass reflex, but with a rear ported one, it's easier to place.

I prefer non tweeter cabinets... no idea what front ported and rear ported means!

Wow, do you have first hand experience of those cabs? Look like great specs on paper. 

I do like the little MB500 heads - it's just finding a 1x12 or 2x10 that is light enough which doesn't do my back in!

I was front and centre and thought it sounded great. Bass was a little washed out (could be down to flats) as were the vocals. 

Those Rumble combos look half decent. Not a Genz copy then?

Just caught them live - one word; wow!

Thanks!

A Muff style fuzz with a mid control would be amazing...

Are Ashdown still plagued by their reliability issues? 

Price range up to £750? Music style is rock.
