Of all the things I'm having to dispose of, this one hurts the most. It's time for my Metro to move on to pastures new. This is a 1999 model, with a maximum output of 600 watts into a 4-ohm load. It's not pristine, far from it, but it's served me well. It's had a couple of mods - the crossover plate has been replaced with one that allows cabs to be daisy-chained and the castor holes on the bottom have been plugged. Eden cover and footswitch included. It'll need to be collected from Edinburgh, as it's too heavy to courier. Any questions, please ask.

As well as my PA (see separate ad), I need to dispose of my lighting rig. It's fairly basic but it does do the job. As with the PA, it'll need to be collected. This should all go in a car, though. Here's what's on offer: Two Behringer Eurolight LC2412 lighting desks. One is mounted in a flight case, the other currently lives in an original box which unfortunately has lost its packing inserts. Gooseneck lamp included. Lighting stands consisting of two tripods, two T bars each having four Lanta Fireball DMX par cans. Two spare T-bars Spare set of bolts Trusses and connectors to join the tripods to make a lighting bridge. Ideal for DJ work. 20-metre and 5-metre DMX cables Two DMX terminators. Lighting desk: The other desk is still boxed and is identical to this one. I don't have a PCMCIA card, but you can pick these up on Amazon or fleabay. You don't need the card for normal use - it's provided to let you back up settings and chases. The DMX cables live in the flight case. Lighting bars: They're both cabled up and just need to be linked and connected to the desk. As mentioned above, DMX cables are included. Stands and trusses: This is what it looks like fully assembled. I never used the bridge, as I lit the band from the front, but this set-up would be fine for DJ work. Two spare T-bars and a spare set of bolts are included, as well as all the connectors. Any questions, please ask.

I'm less than chuffed at having to dispose of this, but long story short, my band commitments and financial circumstances have recently changed and I can no longer justify paying to store equipment that is now only being used about twice a year. I started putting this together during the pandemic, with most items being bought from folks on here, and although it saw a bit of use when things opened up again, it's now just taking up expensive space. To be clear up-front, delivery is not an option - it'll need to be collected in a van. Here are the specs: Two Hughes & Kettner 210 tops, 500 watts each Two Hughes & Kettner 212 subs, 600 watts each Matrix power amp, 600 watts per side, used to power the subs Matrix power amp, 500 watts per side, used to power the tops Citronic crossover Furman power conditioner The amps, crossover and power conditioner are all housed in a Gear4Music rack unit and internally wired to a patch panel at the back. Peavey PA20 mixer in new Swan flight case Two Wharfedale powered wedge monitors, each with EQ. XLR and jack inputs. Eight-way XLR stage box, new, never used All cables to connect mixer and speakers. The gear is in fair condition, although the speaker cab coverings have some scuffs and marks. However, everything is working as it should. Apologies for the quality of some of the pics, but I had to drag everything out of storage to photo them. Any questions, please ask. Mixer: Amps, crossover and power conditioner (front and back lids included, naturally): Cabs: Scuff marks and handles: Stage box: Monitors:

That's what the security guard said when I tried to leave Tesco without paying. He was wrong. -

Fender Jazz Deluxe V Number of strings: 5 Number of frets: 21 Scale length: 34" Number of pickups: 2 Number of controls (switches/knobs): 7

A very belated +1 for Dylan covers. Peter, Paul and Mary's covers of Blowin' In The Wind and The Times They Are A-Changing are sublime. Not forgetting Janis' cover of Piece Of My Heart.

Just back from the Audio Lounge in Glasgow after a gig with the punk band. We were second out of four and went down really well. Quite a small venue - it certainly isn't the Barrowland - but I'm really warming to more intimate spaces. The Stingray acquitted itself well, although it's getting a bit clattery. I think it's going to have to go to Chris McIntyre for him to work his magic. The backline was deffo old skool - SVT plus Workingman 810. Awesome sound and it was great to feel the air hitting the backs of my legs but completely OTT for such a small room. I wasn't complaining though, as for once I had enough oomph to hear myself over our volume 11 guitarist!

Social media's 'community standards' are just American cultural imperialism. As long as you remember that the only racial slurs that might get pulled are those seen as such over there - the N word comes to mind here - and portraying the destruction of life is fine but its creation is verboten, then you won't fall foul of their malgorithms. If I didn't need Faceache for band promo, I'd have ditched it long ago.

I'd find that a handy feature too. I'm impressed with folks like @40hz who can easily switch between the two. I have to stop and think for a moment whenever I have to do that.

Just back from another outing at the Reivers Sports Bar in Galashiels. A bit quieter than last time but we still had a few folk up and dancing. It was someone's birthday, so the Altered Images song made an unscheduled appearance. This was the first gig since I added the Thumpinator to the pedalboard and it made a hell of a difference. Tone was much more punchy and clear. Deffo money well spent. Rig: Sterling Stingray 5, Eden WTX264 into an Eden 210 cab. Pedals as shown: Footwear by Primani:

My first pro instrument was a five-string MIA Fender Jazz. It's a lovely bass - plenty of bite, perfectly balanced, looks the biz and is dead easy to play. I'll never part with it, even though my current weapon of choice is a Sterling Stingray 5.

Concur. I had a huge 'oh shit no' moment when I first saw this.

I've been pondering the idea of a video wall. My 80s band played a gig in front of one a few years ago, and our frontman's daughter very kindly created an MP4 of instantly-recognisable 80s films. We'll pass lightly over the licensing fee issue... It worked really well. I'd have liked to include some more political footage - the Falklands war, the miners' strike, a few memorable Spitting Image sketches and so on - but the link between the music and the footage made quite a difference. Video wall controllers aren't as expensive as they used to be, and second-hand flat-screen TVs could be used instead of pricey monitors, but including one involves (a) more gear to cart about, (b) a longer set-up time, (c) whoever is rigging the video wall needs to be done and dusted before the drummer and bass player need to set up and (d) most importantly, the video wall support needs to be stable enough so that it won't tip over and fall on the band. And it needs to be easy to fit-up and strike, too. Not a simple ask. But if I can find solutions, it'll solve the problems with having to have projectors out front in just the right place.
