Cheers I'll give that a go. Haven't listened to them in years.

I will be, definitely. Even though they're charging another tenner on top of the advertised price for "service fees" 😡

Yup. I don't know how they get away with that.  Surely it's not legal.

I am tempted, my msical tastes have gone in a very diferent durection over the years,  but a lot of that line up is the soundtrack of my teenage years.

 

Doubt I'll find the time to watch the whole thing in one sitting though so it would work better for me if they gave us at least a couple of weeks to work our way though it.

I think they're currently saying you get it for 2 days which is pretty poor to be honest. It starts at 5pm my time though, just as I finish work so I'm planning on grabbing a few beers and making a night of it.

This live stream costs as much as a ticket to a real gig, it's, what, £25? Much as I love Sabbath, this is 10 years too late and looks like being a bad cabaret. Not for me, thanks.

Must be regional pricing then. For me it's only 25 leva which is just over a tenner. Plus it's all going to charity instead of into Sharon Osborne's pocket which can only be a good thing.

If I got to keep a copy of the stream then that would be cool. If not, then I'll wait till its on YouTube

I suppose it would be possible to do some kind of screen recording but I'm not bothered. I'm thinking of it more as a live event at home. No way I could ever afford tickets or even get there if I could, so I'll be up in my barn with it on the big cinema screen. 

I'm also pretty happy that all the proceeds are going to charity so for once I actually don't mind paying for it. 

I haven't paid for a live stream event since the disappointment of the Tyson v Hollyfield fight back in 1997 but I'm definitely doing this one. 

Some of my favourite bands and artists of all time are in the line up. 

I don't know if it's regional pricing but the stream ticket is only the equivalent of about a tenner so pretty fair really.

Really looking forward to this one. 

Is anybody else planning on streaming it?

The M (MOSFET) version is about £70 cheaper than the T and there is little difference (basically a 12AX7/ECC83 valve on the input stage of the T). I had the M and could hear virtually no tonal variation between it and a pal's T. Great value amp.

I do like the red trim on the T version though. Almost tempted to get one as a spare just for that. 😁

I've been using the MOSFET version for about 5 years now as my main amp and it's absolutely outstanding! 

The tone is amazing and more power than you will ever need. Absolutely unbeatable even at twice the price.

If you fancy a further insight into the seller check out their feedback....... 🤣

"The seller is a liar and a crackhead....."

That's enough information for me right there. 

Stevie Nicks was pretty damn good too. 🤘

Just watched the Fire Aid benefit concert and I have to say I really enjoyed it. While it might seem slightly harder to feel sorry for millionaire actors and musicians as opposed to starving people in Africa. We have to remember that so many have lost everything in the California fires. 

All that aside. Probably one of the best "live" (as in recorded live) concerts I've seen in years. 

The stand out moments for me were Alanis Morisette and No Doubt. 

Well worth a watch.

The Redsub ones have been avaibale for a few years now, 4, 5 & 6 string versions, I think they look a lot nicer but I don't like singlecuts at all really:

Yeah I've seen the Redsubs and I'm not particularly keen. I've had gear4music stuff before and the HB stuff is generally much better quality. I've seen several Red Subs on eBay with busted headstocks. 

Not sure of this has already been mentioned but I couldn't find anything in the search feature. 

Harley Benton have finally released a multi scale bass. Given their reputation of quality at price I'm seriously tempted to dip my toe in the multi scale waters. 

Anybody got their hands on one yet?

Without making any judgements, someone who is in a musical couple might not give an entirely unbiased view of how well it works? 😁

 

<ducks>

Maybe not. But getting together every week to play purely for the enjoyment of doing so certainly does.

That's as bad a generalisation as never joining a band with a couple in it. I was in a successful democratic band with Mrs Zero a while ago, exploding both of those myths simultaneously.

I'm in a band made up of two married couples. Both the girls are amazing singers and neither have any ego whatsoever. It works wonderfully. 

None of my band is replaceable. Not because any of us are particularly good musicians, but because the band consists of two married couples. If one goes, then the other goes and there is no more band. 

The fact that they spell bass B A S E is enough of a warning for me without even opening the advert.

bass solo 

Nope. You've lost me. 😆

I've never managed to get my hands on one yet but I'd like to give it a go.

Get MDP in a room with Trump, Musk and Putin then remove the oxygen and we'd have a fine old planet! 

A bit unfair to Trump, Musk and Putin I feel. 

I knew who / what this thread was about before I even opened it. 😆

I have zero use or desire for a 12 string but I actually think that looks quite smart. 

I really like the shape. 

One a year is enough, but that felt a little too hectic so I've dialled it back a bit to zero.

Ah thanks. That makes sense. 

I've never had an expensive enough bass to need one. 😆

Ok. NOS I know, but what's COA?
