  1. Begs another question. ''What do you call an artist who isn't an entertainer?'' Nothing complimentary most of the time.
  2. If you include most people in ''most people'' rather than most BC'ers then it's mostly everyone but for that Beatle guy.
  3. Covid research doc on the news the other day looking into long covid cases: "rest up good and proper if you don't want long covid''.
  4. Bubble wrap is false security. It can't take up the energy of an impact the likes of falling out the back of the van. Not much can. Your mission is to keep up appearances and make it difficult for them to break it. 1 box far too big. 1 box just big enough. A large number of small sturdy boxes. Stanley knife. Bubble Wrap. Wrap cab in enough BW to make it snug in the just size box. You can make a just size box from two identical boxes that are the right footprint, tops cut off and jammed together. Take your multitude of small boxes and cut them up through the guts so you make a bunch of corners. These you nest around the corners of your just size box so it fits in the oversized box. Pack the leftover space with squishy stuff for show.
  5. People tell you all sorts of things. Unless they know your band and your venue they are full of it. Same goes for the people who tell you a 100w one will blow the doors off the Dog'n'Duck and get you fired. I've played plenty of gigs at the D'n'D with a 200w tube amp in full flight into 215. Too loud for some but nobody complained. I played with some of same players with a 50w into 210 but that was slightly rowdy jazz. You can put the amp under the cab if necessary.
  6. Loads. Ashdown probably easiest to get ahold of.
  7. The trick is to never learn anything too well.
  8. The thrill of audience enthusiasm for something you've created is quite powerful.
  9. 60 size on Reverb? For my money, a few bits of plywood screwed together, accoutrements to suit.
  10. ??? I only see 12'' and 10'' based cabs in the lineup.
  11. Seems to be an almost completely R free zone by dint of the long hiatus in R trading. Maybe that will be a lesson to them to play nice. Good luck!
  12. Let's ask an expert. Renwick. 'Rennick' or 'Wren Wick'? The Duke of Marlborough resides at Blenheim Castle. Renwick is in 'Marlbrah', up the road from 'Blennim'.
  13. Bear power tend to pop their clogs when the grounding provided by the star washer to the chassis fails. I guess this could happen in new amps if there was too much paint on the chassis and too little spanner applied to the nut or there may have been other infant mortality modes. Later on vintage amps suffered star washer corrosion, enough to do the trick of ungrounding and suffered 'death' also. Should definitely find out if the Clive mod is something else altogether.
  14. The corollary is a bad amp will sound extra bad to you. I think you will be thinking of the short production run 300 tube model.
  15. Maybe ask one of your friendly advertisers? They will all have them. I am sure they didn't write it from scratch.
  16. By widget I mean code already written for form submission. You would enter a sales portal to post a classified rather than in the forum.
  17. I clicked on the Sire, fully lined in the image.
  18. There must be some kind of widget that generates the asterisked fields in forms that won't submit until they are all completed. They are everywhere.
  19. The thing to do would be take the amp out and make a new box for it. That will make the decombo'd ''cab only'' around 13kg lighter for picking up. Get a trolley for moving it A to B.
  20. The real problem is Google used to be able to search terms and only those terms and it would comply. Now it returns advertiser results that kinda sorta fit. Shame.
  21. How hard would it be to implement a set of compulsory fields to each bass for sale? Price, string count, scale length, active/passive would cover the biggest divisions.
  22. Do not underestimate the quality of dispersion. I was playing in a band where the lead guitar and I would often riff off one another. The 'stage' at one pub was just a bit wider and flatter and one time I took the 215 instead of 115 210 tall stack. He's struggling to hear what I am doing because he's on the far side and too wide of the 15's to get the tone, so he's working off bumpity bump bump bump only.
