  1. Mick already has form. Next time in front of a judge he gets a proper sentence. I believe he had a suspended sentence already so that ship has sailed.
  2. Some pubs that do that here have a couple of big footed steel pipe railings strung with banners that can push back to the wall and put out more tables for food service. Yours could be non welded so the feet and rails come apart for throwing in the van.
  3. Bad day at the office left production short of genuine? Someone filched good ones and substituted fakes somewhere along the line? I really doubt they are all like that but it would pay to check your GenzBenz cabinet right away!
  4. The secret Santa must have been thinking you were a proper ingrate when tracking said it was delivered and then... nothing.
  5. Get together and bring a private prosecution. Mate of mine was assaulted in a bar in Brisbane. The cops weren't interested so he engaged a private investigator. The PI put it all together and gave it to the cops to prosecute, or he would.
  6. Quit trading while you are ahead, or rather back where you should have been, in front.
  7. A new one is 849 so I think you are a bit low when it looks mint.
  8. You could fashion a thermoplastic skeletal frame that took in the wings of an RBI and grasped it on each side and carried on up and around a Quilter Bass Block. Throw that in a backpack with your leads and you would.hardly know it was there.
  9. The SansAmp pedals are well below the standard rack preamp level of "line out". If the amp amp isn't known to run on pedals it will be hit and miss if it runs on a BDDI. That is why I suggested using the RBI. Output for Africa on those.
  10. Exactly. One man's reasonably loud band is another's quiet band. Things is, the folks who play in what we would term stupid loud bands are unable to fathom how the rest of the world operates.
  11. You could put a RBI combo style in the front or top-back of the speaker box and strap any little class D amp with fx loop to the top, or even always on inside the box. All power wired from the one jug cord socket input. RBI xlr out. Your choice if the cab has a speakon parallel AMP out or not but you wouldn't ever plug another amp into it.
  12. You cannot be serious. Half the elves on the planet probably drive 8 ohm cabs in bands.
  13. Is it fait accompli when such a meeting of creditors has been called, that a company is liquidated? Or do they have what we call "Receivership" whereby the creditors have to wait for administrators to determine if a more satisfactory outcome can be achieved? A company can continue to trade "In Receivership" and potentially be released from administrative control to continue trading normally after getting solvent. While the Receivers run things they don't have to clear outstanding debts by selling assets.
  14. You worded that correctly but it still gives me the heebie jeebies. Make sure the combo amp is disconnected from everything when doing that! Also, don't have the Elf plugged in until the other connections are made. The Elf amp is bridged mono so a momentary speaker ground short also shorts the amp. Unplug the Elf power first when packing down.
  15. New Rumble 100 is a world away from the old ones. Take away the 'rumble' and add loudness and lightness.
  16. Or an action figure. You have an action finger.
  17. You won't need a post it note in your classifieds.
  18. Kinda, not really. The community band I play in doesn't pay the members but it makes some decent money on paid gigs that is spent on travelling to do free festivals. I wind up not out of pocket except for some food and drink.
  19. It's pretty standard that a first post on signing up to a forum is checked that it smells of real person interested in the forum. The main purpose is adding a gateway against spammers but scammers will get weeded out also.
  20. That's a good start.
  21. The Rumble 100V3 is super loud for its size. I used one on a festival gig and I thought it was DI'd but turned out to be the only thing filling the room for jazz orchestras. The weight of it would suggest a toy but it's a real thing. I never go without a High Pass Filter aka HPF. It stops things from going boom.
  22. Yes. Carve up a dual wall cardboard shipping box or twin boxes with double sided tape. Wrap in duct tape if concerned about fluids on stage. 5 quid worth of tape max.
  23. I thought Elf power was Peavey homegrown.
  24. Maybe I was just lucky that nearly everyone played the songs very much the same as the record as far as chord progressions went and I have a good ear. Those songs were standards 20 years ago when I was jamming and I played along dropping the odd clanger. Trains wrecked only with the odd noncompetent given the mic. If you are slated for backing folks ahead of time one would hope they have a handle on it. Better charge up your phone and have the songs on repeat all day.
  25. When I was stepping up to reading for my jazz band the MD said pretty much that with far fewer words. If I paraphrase him further, "Never Stop".
