How fast does it have to spin before the guitars are all horizontal?

I'm not too far away and will be in the area on Saturday... Unfortunately I took a fender shipping box to the tip last Saturday. Not sure what I would ship it in (I'm not generous enough to send you one of my hard cases 🙂 ) But I sometimes venture further north - how soon do you want your paws on it?

I've got a mini 32-key midi keyboard and discovered that with a little tweaking Ignite's 'scanner pad' it can do a vaguely convincing facsimile of the introduction of Kasabian's 'Club Foot'. Bt Ignite requires a PC. Can anyone recommend a small box that is stuffed with sounds that can be controlled by a usb midi keyboard? Or am I better getting an old PS470? (I used to love my old one back in the 90s)

Hah! I have the 4x10 vented version, but with the 300W power amp in it. Did some digging and found a comment on another forum that '"250 watts won't begin to drive an 8x10 cab, you need more. " Oh yea of little faith...

Good one!

I detect a lot of sophistry here. No one is arguing that a big, expensive PA with IEMs can't give you excellent sound. Neither is anyone suggesting that a big bass combo or stack can take the role of a whole PA. I'm getting lost amongst the straw men... "Methinks they doth protest too much."

Reportedly Geddy and Eric are devastated at not being able to get out on the road again.

Well, I think it pretty much defined his sound in the 80s*. This isn't explicit but the reference to 'the rig in the main room' suggests he was recording the TE: As does this still, which has a 4x10 TE combo in it: As for live, the TE pretty much defined his sound, I would lay odds that any FOH reinforcement used a post DI from his amp: *Although he was happy to have keyboard bass and even sequencers when he thought it was appropriate.

But he has a COOL EGO, it's only UNCOOL EGOS he has an issue with.

You missed out the bit about saving drowning puppies.

That just makes it louder, doesn't fundamentally change the quality compared to the 4x10 combo.

No head, no body? Is it just a neck?

My combo cost me £130 S/H and one was good enough to make Mark King's reputation... I'd count it as 'quality' 🙂

My brother picked up an original series Fender DeVille as an exchange for an LP Junior he was selling for £400. It's a bit big for what you want, but surprisingly light and sounds great.

If my dad called me Dweezil I'd feel entitled to squeeze as much out of his legacy as I could 🙂 Is the the B.N.S. effect? And whatever happened to Moon Unit?

I accidentally got a Flea bass - relic 61 Jazz.

Fightin' talk!

Nice to know that the Shaggs will be touring again in 2020...

LOL! In those days I was only using my index finger like James Robertson! My RH technique is now utterly different.

First band I was in, Drastic Action, in 1987. This was the only original song we did, I wrote the music, Jon wrote the words. Bass: Me. Guitar & Vocals: Jon Randall Drums: Steve Harris (not that one) For some reason we were without Rob.

I've recently ordered his biography. I'm surprised he didn't call it 'Dirty Linen' 🙂

Visually it balances the look of the headstock, which risks looking heavy and over-sized without a dark mass on the body. Thinking about it, my Jag which has a candy apple red body but a black headstock and scratchplate possibly looks right for the same reason.

Is that the one on the double CD - I was much impressed and ELO was the first band I got into in a big way.

🤣 Which means it's a component for component clone of an Ibanez CP9, which isn't a bad thing and fits with my experience of it:
