  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. I thought Elf power was Peavey homegrown.
  4. 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.
  5. 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".
  6. The article claims they allege he stole royalty cash that would have gone to legitimate artists. I have no idea if that is true or not.
  7. Have you tried a Google image search? What's so special about it?
  8. To the extent that druggies think everything sounds amazeballs that implies I sound amazeballs as the result of drugs.
  9. Pad the output down.
  10. If it is just a custom colour baffle you want you could get a sheet of sign vinyl and wrap it once you decide to claim it. Should you change your mind the vinyl can be removed for sale.
  11. Blame pub bands. If they hadn't been pumping out the Oasis bangers all these years everyone would have forgotten all about Oasis.
  12. No idea. Probably not. It's an android. This is the only forum that does it.
  13. Kids today seem rather compliant to directions, so easily achieved. They don't have any problem giving them up for the duration of their school day, where schools make it that way.
  14. If it hasn't got 4/4 is isn't disco. "Bring it Back" is kinda disco. Also 4/4 with a bass groove heavy on swung triplets over 2 beats. Maybe what the OP was thinking of?
  15. Every time. I hit the next page button at bottom of current page. It opens up at the bottom of the next page!
  16. What's the feel on 2/2?
  17. Fairytale of New York is 6/8. That goes to show that 6/8 is not disco. It's a jig. The beat is 2. 12/8 is 4 beats to a bar. 4 beats of 3 isn't very 'disco' but at least it is 4 on the floor Guitarists need to get over having to make up bullshit time signatures to lose their triplets.
  18. You should get that seen to with a nerve conduction study to confirm and most likely an MRI so see if there is anything to be done about helping the nerve to regrow.
  19. The cops need calling to get the CCTV of you dropping it off.
  20. On the other side of the pond they liked to say it's impossible to gig with one. Not that they ever tried. Actual gig reports were scorned!
  21. You can raise hell with a big cab too.
  22. Lots more bang for buck with the 12" set.
  23. See Tim Wilson YouTube of ubass in gigging action and it may change your mind. I have played mine plenty on stage. With just the right touch sensitive drive pedal and a generally light touch you can get it to overdrive on demand so well you forget you have rubber strings instead of round wounds and a full scale. I kid you not.
  24. Worth mentioning the Genzler 'tweeter' array is doing a lot more than tweeting.
  25. I should learn to bow. Too many obstacles at present. My bow is a piece of junk that needs rehairing as it won't hold any rosin or consequently make hardly a sound. I tried a cello bow. My brain is wired lefty a la violin the other way around. Mind blown, did not see that coming. I am flat broke. I could sell an excess bass and buy a nice enough bow, but will my brain properly untangle from backwards violin playing? I would miss my bass.
