Thanks for saving me from clicking on it. My drummer cocked up the count off one too many times, too badly by far. A slow ballad came over as The Chipmunks version. He got a tablet with all the tempos loaded onto the setlist. Problem solved, but he still sometimes starts off 1, 2 and races 3 and 4.

A cautionary tale, exact same kind of relying on ratings blows up cabinet: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/461396-help-please-ampeg-portaflex-vs-rm-cab-can-someone-smell-burning/

''You have been Rickrolled''.

Full volume is often found well before cranking is achieved. Knob position is useless. Use your ears. If it doesn't get hardly any louder with the last twist it's a good sign you could be about to burn up the cab. Best to turn it down a little instead. If it's making nasty noises it's too loud already.

It would be trivial to make something to hang over cab edge secured by a strap over the top to cab handle.

I count that as entertainment! It would be the minimum standard when they would give polite applause, even better if they would recommend friends, ranging up to foot stomping cheering singing along and coming back with friends. Otherwise it's not going to garner any compliments, not entertaining, not going to go far.

If I read it right this guy has been writing and wants someone to play the bass for a new studio album. There's any number of ways that could pan out. Only one way that works in your favour is if you are getting paid enough for the studio work that it is worth your while. If you count the working for hero factor as pay then the maths changes. I am pretty sure you don't need the old singer songwriter scams musos into writing and playing all the parts before touring the album with pickup band routine explained.

Begs another question. ''What do you call an artist who isn't an entertainer?'' Nothing complimentary most of the time.

If you include most people in ''most people'' rather than most BC'ers then it's mostly everyone but for that Beatle guy.

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.

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.

Loads. Ashdown probably easiest to get ahold of.

The trick is to never learn anything too well.

The thrill of audience enthusiasm for something you've created is quite powerful.

60 size on Reverb? For my money, a few bits of plywood screwed together, accoutrements to suit.

??? I only see 12'' and 10'' based cabs in the lineup.

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!

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'.

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.

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.

Maybe ask one of your friendly advertisers? They will all have them. I am sure they didn't write it from scratch.
