Bought John’s Eich cab cover as it happened to be a perfect fit for my homebuilt cab. A perfect transaction, quick and friendly communication, parcel tracking info was shared, and it arrived promptly and well packed.

Welcome! I believe the jazz workshop class at Band on the Wall is highly thought of, if you're interested in that sort of format: https://bandonthewall.org/events/jazz-workshop-2023-4/ There are one or two jazz jam sessions around town as well. I keep meaning to get along to one of them one of these days…

Consider me interested 👍

Well I came here to post Corduroy's Paper Money but it doesn't seem to be on YouTube, so you'll just have to find it on your preferred streaming service - or in your actual record collection, if you're hip enough.

I jested, but I’m not sure I have a use for this album other than the next time I’m having trouble nodding off. If it was more interesting it could go on the ‘late night’ playlist, but it’s a bit too self-consciously music-for-getting stoned-to for that. Maybe if I ever need a soundtrack for a video of endlessly zooming in to a Mandelbrot set.

Apple Music Listening now. Somebody nudge me if you see me fall asleep.

Covered in this short audio documentary, I think you’ll find

When I remember to, I turn the ‘fast freeze’ on a few hours before the saving session, then off again when it starts. That way the freezer uses no power while it warms back up to normal temperature over the following hour or so. Also that way there’s no risk that I turn it off, forget to turn it on again and ruin the contents.

I would have thought you could pick up a generic stereo rack mount power amp within that budget if you look around, and if you want to drive two cabs then you don’t even have to worry about whether it can bridge. I defer to @Downunderwonder re the Sansamp’s output level though.

I’m sensing that this issue fundamentally divides people into two camps: those who can’t understand why someone wouldn’t just ask about the price, and those who can’t understand why the shop wouldn’t just make up their mind about the price and put that on the label. You can probably infer a lot else about someone’s personality from which one they are.

and the best version of it is

Well obviously I loved this didn't I. I mean, there are places it doesn't go, but I can go there some other time. I think I could happily listen to just the drums, if they were available separately. Utterly gorgeous stuff.

That's true, and it's why you need to trust them on the packing - I've been stung like that before when buying on eBay.

Well it's just like booking a courier (as in Royal Mail, DPD or whoever) to collect something from you and deliver it to someone else, only you put them as the collection address and yours as the delivery! You do need to agree with the sender when the pickup will be, obviously, and you need to trust them to pack it up properly - and if they're prepared to do both those things one might wonder why they didn't offer to post it in the first place.

It's much too far away (on the calendar, I mean) to say for certain, but mid May ought to be OK in principle - somewhere in between the 5th which is the bank holiday weekend and the 26th which is the first weekend in half term round our way, so the 12th or the 19th?

If you find out how to get that edge of breakup tone, will you let me know?

These were included with the excellent R500H head that the excellent Risk101 sold me a while back, but excellent as the head is I have decided I don't need to plaster my life in stickers saying so. But if you do then now's your chance! Yours for postage (standard letter), or collect in Stockport if you're local…

I didn’t say it was a bad question, just a frequent one!

Many years back I used to take a 1x12 cab on luggage wheels - and a bass - from Clapham Junction to if memory serves Highgate for a jazz class. Ask me about the time I got there and found the escalator wasn’t working.

I assume @Smanth means that the label next to the Speakon specifies the amp’s maximum* load as 4 ohms. In which case you might get a bit more than half of the power rating in 8 ohms, as the 4 ohm spec might be limited by the thermal design and/or the current capability as well as the voltage capability. For example the Warwick Gnome is rated at 200 W into 4 ohms, but 130 W into 8. * maximum load as in fewest ohms

Help me understand ohms

This was quite fun, I do like non-English lyrics although there’s always the risk they could be singing about something dodgy without my knowing. Five point penalty for the synth brass though.
