Does Thomann regularly make mistakes these days?
Downunderwonder replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
The space race was run by the time I was born but VIM was still going strong. By my late teens Mum had found a suitable substitute in plain old laundry powder detergent. -
Bass players tend to be the ones giving drummers and guitards rides. These days it's a lot easier to be a motorcycling bassist with the lightweight stuff available. I used to go to jams on my bike with a 210 on the rack and a Ubass.

It is not unknown for police to work up a 'Representative Sample" of cases for a longtime perp to plead guilty on, public knowledge as we have seen. I don't know if that then includes the entire case file of open cases getting presented to the judge or it is coded language that everyone understands, used to save court and police resources. I believe there is the expectation that there is enough in the representative sample to get a good jail term by themselves. Perp expects a little leniency for having plead guilty but alternative is going down for the lot so not much discount.

Maybe suspended sentence doesn't mean the same thing over there as it does in this colony???? A suspended sentence is your one chance at redemption. If you come up for the same offence within the timeframe set by the first judge then the next judge adds the original sentence to your one for the new offence. Both barrels indeed.

If the drummer isn't signaling changes for you he's probably another dep. Eyes on drummer, ears on rhythm guitar. The good ones will walk you into chord changes not even knowing they are doing it.

Statistics are squirrelly little bastards with lots of squirrelly bastard friends. Your data is the last two orders from Thomman got messed up. Now you will get more data on the messed up orders. This is no way to assess the true proportion of messed up orders. A better question would be, how well was your last Thomman order completed? You still get confirmation bias but at least you aren't tee'ing it up. -
Yamaha is in charge now.

Getting the taste out of your mouth? There is no such thing as one polo mint. They hunt in bags.

Small "Hifi" amp head recommendations sought!
Downunderwonder replied to andyhaines's topic in Amps and Cabs
Any amp with fan can go in a muffler box. Conduction into the box out of the warmed air, radiates to the outside to lose the heat before it gets too hot inside. -
The drummer concurs.

I wouldn't take it to just any amp tech. You want a proper enthusiast.

Quilter BassBlock is fully transparent at lower gain settings. -
There is that. But also, depending on how you like to attack your envelope filter, potential for tre compressor to even out its trippiness. So you may like to have two compressors!

I found as a kid that the performances for 3 plus cat translated straight to jumping on stage and performing for all the other kids and their families, no cats. 1st night excitement with any new project is still a thing for me but knowing what I can play is key.

Not your brother. The original poster's member profile marks him absent. -

Fender Rumble Bass Combos - Advice Please
Downunderwonder replied to Cornwall Steve's topic in Amps and Cabs
There was a v3 100 Rumble supplied for backline at a festival we played. A good size pub with a stage big enough for full jazz orchestra and some. I say backline because that is what it must have been. Our turn to go on came and lo, the little combo is providing all the bass for the show with no DI out to FOH. Impressive!!! -
It would have to ge a real rubbish 410 to fail to make more out of 30w than the BF 115 cab. Still not a sensible swap. Lugging a hulking 410 and losing dispersion for a measly volume bump is not my idea of upgrades.

I taped over the footwitch socket on my Trace amp, only after killing it by hooking up the speaker lead to it. Thankfully there was no major loss of magic smoke, just a popped resistor in the preamp power supply.

I played my first couple or three public outings with my practice amp.

Carry Case for Trace Elliot TE1200
Downunderwonder replied to Pirellithecat's topic in Amps and Cabs
There's a Pelican case for every amp. -
The terms may be unfamiliar but it's very straightforward.
