Scales

Thanks for the input all, much food for thought there.

Thanks for the input, just had a look, the BF1x10 looks quality!

So I've been lugging combos around for years and I want to try a class D amp for home practice with head phones and a much lighter gig option. I have no experience of owning seperates but have used a variety of them in rehersal rooms. I'm looking at a TC Electronic BQ250 as an entry level option and I'd like a lighter cab for ease of portability, I'll be playing smaller venues as I'm starting up my trio again after lockdown. So my question is what cab should I buy or is there a cab that someone can recommend for this setup?

Glad it worked out, good luck with your new band.

Thats annoying and sorry to hear it. As above it sounds like you were plan B unfortunately, I'd move on but let them know that it's a cr@p way to be treated. Up to you if you bother to remain 'friends' but as Carl seems to have left his previous band "under a dark cloud" the same might happen with Dave and friends. Depends if this is a bridge you want to burn.

Looks great!

Great video!

Practice more, learn chord modes, find a good drummer to join my duo to form a gigging trio.

Welcome!

Yes, good to hear, keep playing!

I still think you shouldn't do the gig especially after how they've treated you, taking back their gear and just expecting you to play. The drummer sounds like an idiot, as above the rythum section should be close and he is clearly a nob. Just move on, leave them to it and find a better band next year.

Sorry to hear that, I think you're right not to do the gig, I wouldn't. They asked you to leave so it's up to them to find a replacement.

@Mottlefeeder, many thanks, that's a good read, I like your mk1 with a 10inch speaker and your cabs look good! This is food for thought for me as 7kg using 9mm ply would put the cab weight where I'd like to be. Have spent a long time lugging heavy kit around.

Fair enough, I can work to the original design. Are there any pointers on speaker supplier or model and amp out there?
