  1. I can only repeat that I get a great result with a single 12" sub. I guess it's not optimum performance but it sounds great to my ears, and others.
  2. I am meeting up with Pete's tech in the next few days. I'll report anything exciting.
  3. An earlier thread played on my mind and I tried to find an answer. I did. I have added a post to In Memoriam. RIP, Sam. 😞
  4. SamIAm I had been concerned about Sam for some time and decided to see if the web could provide an answer. Unhappily so. It seems she has left us. The link is to a MacMillan tribute, so I guess we can assume how she passed. How very sad. https://samanthamargerison.muchloved.com/
  5. I used them (TX10s) as monitors and they worked very well.
  6. The OLP version was passive. Maybe there are owners out there who can describe it.
  7. I have an Alto TS312S and use it with a pair of Alto TS312s. I have used this system in a pretty large pub and the sound was excellent and crystal clear. We keep the stage volume down and put most things through the PA (including bass) to help achieve that. That's the TS as opposed to the TX. This is not the current range so Ebay may well help you out here.
  8. Yes. That is a bargain for what you're getting. GLWTS.
  9. Not so many for me. Stroll round Farnham and a very nice brunch and then home to clean up the garden. Good going to get to 14k plus.
  10. It really is a shame that such a place has gone (and with Bax too). Brighton still has some interesting music shops to look at. In some ways they are more precious than GAK. The remaining places are more like old school shops, with some eclectic (and s/h) gear in them.
  11. You missed my point spectacularly. I saw typical businesses for 10 years. Good and bad. I'm not remotely jaded. I'm passing on conclusions based on around 3000 businesses against your 1. I'm not criticising here. By the way, talking of stereotyping (as I wasn't), a tax inspector gets difficult only when evidence (actual evidence) deems it necessary. It's a bit like people complaining about being done for speeding, somehow forgetting they were speeding. Anyway it's a nice day so what the hell.
  12. The lens of a taxman is that something that is legal is fine. In many companies, it is the employees who create the wealth. The owners enjoy it. That's, of course, mildly facetious but a successful business is not necessarily taking many risks. Employees are also risking their livelihood too. I've yet to meet a businessman who wouldn't shaft his employees for his own advantage. That's my taxman experience based on a different business every day for nigh on 10 years. Again, avoidance is fine. It is for governments to address it, if it is perceived to be problematic. My only gripe, and it applies to absolutely everything, is that everyone is treated exactly the same. Ah Utopia!!
  13. Depends on your views on tax avoidance. Personally I don't buy the risk taking argument. Like all avoidance, it's perfectly legal.
  14. And taxed at a lower percentage.
  15. Every grey cloud and all that. 🙂
  16. You went for the T and not the TI? Be interesting to see the difference. The I stands for Intense apparently.
  17. I went to the Boston website and looked for the UK distributor. Luckily I am a Rotosound endorsee and ordered them via my artist relations chap. Possibly any Rotosound seller can probably order one for you.
  18. Yup. Done the same thing. Sold a pair of PB70-US basses and kick myself daily for doing so. Especially the ash bodied one.
  19. Yes. The Boston PB 415 TI.
  20. The pair I ordered yesterday arrived today and they're excellent. Especially for the price. Very happy chap.
  21. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1YHJjcnrcU/ A list of the gear and serial numbers etc
  22. What's a nice vintage Fender without a nice tort pickguard? 🙂
  23. Just ordered a couple of the scratchplates and will see what they're like in the flesh.
  24. Yes. I've asked for serial numbers.
