  1. He just sold one of the same but 115 version. Serious case of serial GAS?
  2. Generally a used GB cabinet in good condition will be a way better value proposition than any new TC cab. It may not be any lighter than the TC combo you are selling though, so you better check on that.
  3. It turns inside out in the middle. I imagine the double top E is where you stumble? Whereever the stumble happens you need to note how you tried to play it and assess if it is appropriate. Having worked that out I would count rests into the stumbled note and pick it up with the correct pluck or stroke of the lead in note. Practice just that until blue in the face and then go from the start again being sure to arrive on the correct stroke.
  4. Sure. Just turn it down if the cab complains.
  5. I accidentally blew up most of the gig as small stage and 410 in a small pub is wont to do. I wandered out front with my long lead and shocked how loud I was in the mix.
  6. Yeah, I just about busted my boiler shifting a 410 from the drummer's car when I depped. Saved by a young passer by who saw my struggles.
  7. A kick drum mic delivering the aggro. Wow.
  8. Would have to be a permanent anorak wearer to spot what neck is on your bass from the front row. Don't expect them to number 1 at at your shows. Play your lines by finger memory and rock out soaking it all in. Good times.
  9. That's understandable, but not the three tuning pegs aka shiny things at the end of the long lined thing one of the wriggly things attached to the top of the centre blob thing rests on.
  10. Can you explain how it comes up with so many three banger Fenders?
  11. There is a problem to say "Brexit shagged it" without the detail. That's political. If you say, "since the UK became an independent tax regime there is now a lot more paperwork for me to get a simple job done", that's your truth and nobody is going to have a problem with it.
  12. @Steve Browning might like to enlighten us what bureaucratic hoops a UK shop would need to jump through to do a one off export sale.
  13. If France is like NZ there would be VAT to pay on the shipping fee paid even with it attracting VAT already.
  14. Just a guess, but if they are all so sorted with tracks it may be that they have the facility to record your efforts at your jams. Maybe you compare well and they nix the bass track after you get up to speed. It would have to be very well paid for me to put all the work in and still be expected to mime it.
  15. "Get on up, get on up, like a...".... or not. Put me in the neurodiverse group.
  16. Good thing you asked before hooking it all up and letting the magic smoke out.
  17. Nobody wants to see your bass face.
  18. Trace advised the SMX preamp as putting out enough at '4' to fully drive an amplifier. They provided extra gain in case a low sensitivity amp was encountered. Turning it past 4 won't get any more out of a Trace amp.
  19. The engineers managed to insist on end feet but no promotional photo ever saw a magazine with it deployed in the vertical.
  20. Pluck with 2nd and third fingers.
  21. The drummer used to have difficulty getting the countoff tempo correct in the heat of a big gig. I would have to wave him off if he was too far adrift. This time he counted it off double time and foxed me. Trouble ensued as the deps we use had the opportunity to pretend they weren't familiar and show off by playing it double time. Then the singer comes in, looking like a deer in the headlights but sounding like a member of The Chipmunks, trying to get all the words out instead of walking off. We finished hardly any slower than we started, shrugged, and carried on. To his credit the drummer bought a tablet for keeping it all under control from that day forward.
  22. If you dropped the 2nd shelf after angling the guitars a bit more I reckon you could get another row of shortscales in it and have toom left over.
  23. Halfway is full volume on slightly later ones.
  24. I think your grunge band has very much more volume control than my grunge band if you think 210 or 112 is going to cope.
