I thought the similar programme featuring Tina Weymouth was excellent.

My Dad had one of these in his gig bag.

Actually. the proper answer is the bible. However terrible you are, you'll be forgiven. 🙂

And might be female.

Annoying things? Not being able to play something you want to. Luckily I've been playing long enough not to face that one. Pub landlords who treat you as an annoyance when you're bringing people into their pub. Not sure we'd use the final word you use in your last post. Just saying.

I'm actually going to disagree there (based on my 2x15s). The ergonomics of the cabs handles is better than the single (top) handle on the Walkabout. Originally, you could get a sort of trolley, that attached to the back of the combo, but I've not one in the flesh ever.

I've just searched and it was me asking about fitting my spare 15" Subway speaker into my Walkabout combo. Your new one is a lovely looking bit of kit. They're just amazing amps. Difficult to move about (more bulk than sheer weight) but worth every effort.

If I remember correctly, the head fits but it's not recommended. There was a thread here somewhere and Andy contributed.

Like putting wheels on a tomato, I guess. Not experienced a worn cable personally. I was mainly thinking of the effect of the cycle that, apparently, gradually loosens the screw. I wonder how moulded plugs are done?

And definitely not a 0. Despite my listing 0189 on my theoretical Xmas list, it was not comfortable to play, as bassbiscuits states.

I had the fretted fingerboard replaced with a rosewood fretless board, locally and expertly, for £150.

Seems an obvious thing to do in some respects. Does anyone do it? Why shouldn't you, if there's a reason why not.

Mine was bog standard. I then bought an HH 2x15 cab and swapped the speakers for the two originals, putting the original Eminence speakers into the HH cab and part-ex'ing it - terrible I know.

If I was aiming for the impossible - just my folks back would do me. Otherwise; 1) My 66 slab back 2) My 53 Precision back 3) A heritage B15 4) A new splitter van 5) One of John Deacon's old Precisions

It was an Ampeg (V4 I think) cab, very similar to this, that cemented my 2x15 love. I bet it'll sound wonderful.

A taster. Enjoy 🙂

This Way Upp by Upp. Stephen Amazing had every justification for choosing this monicker.

We all know that speakers distribute sound in a certain way. Habit tends to be firing straight forward. That is unlikely to be the optimal solution, so how should we aim our PA top cabs for best results?

That is certainly what I have done in the past. Probably the best practical approach. The onset of saving settings does mean (in theory) it's a single occasion at each venue.

Rather radically for me. I'd have been tempted to simply not turn up and let them figure out I'd left.

It's a shame there's no automated method on the XR18. Many years ago I was rehearsing in a terrible sounding room. They sent along someone with a Peavey unit. It may have been called an autograph. It put out white noise and a mic took sound samples around the room. The unit analysed the samples and set the eq for the room. It rectified the sound immediately. This was more than 30 years ago so imagine it would be pretty straightforward to incorporate.
