  1. Granted they were out of order, but in their minds they were expressing respect. I think the family probably didn't mind. Ozzy sure didn't. Showbiz innit?
  2. We played a festival gig and I came equipped with my brand new mic to broadcast my carefully crafted tone to the masses. Drama unfolded. "Here's your DI" "I got two basses and a 2 channel preamp and this neato flat mic all set to go" "Just give us the DI" "How about listening to the mic?" "Just give us the DI" BL jumps in with some complaints that I am the most difficult bass player he ever worked with. DI gets my mic lead and away we go. The drummer's 2x15 plus horn monitor completely obliterates what is coming from my poxy 210. It sounds pukka except it is drowning out the band. Sound person accuses me of sandbagging and wants me to turn down. The drum monitor gets turned down some but still louder than my cab. More complaints that I am blowing up the mix, with my 210 pointed up at me, on a festival stage. We haven’t been invited back.
  3. The sum total of your mojo is some snapped off brittle plastic slider caps. As it sounds great my advice is leave it alone and play through it daily.
  4. FYI. NZ law is basically UK law with wrinkles so I would be surprised if yours is any different wrt bankruptcy. Taxman. Secured Creditors. Wages and Salaries. Unsecured Creditors. Nobody gets anything until those higher have got theirs. In the case of a merchant buying stock and selling it, the suppliers may retain title on the stock until paid. If it gets sold they become unsecured AFAIK. Customers paying for stuff with a credit card or electronic debit card have a claim back through the bank. If you walked in and paid cash or eftpos you are SOL.
  5. Rescued from a time capsule? My 250SMX has lead an easy life and compared to your looks like it went along with the Omaha beach landing.
  6. I don't know why this wasn't clear enough.
  7. Measure up your Ashown box. Find the volume of your new box. One of these experts will cheerfully work out what port length is required to emulate the original design tuning in the half size boxes.
  8. OK, what is the 9M cost of sales covering?
  9. 232 is less than 245. If you add 1cm to each dimension it is still less than 245. Ombudsman time.
  10. Man, some big rocks some people live under when a V4B is an unknown. Enjoy your light load tubes. An Elf makes an excellent backup.
  11. It won't open with Adobe like every other pdf I grab on my phone???
  12. When it comes to the OP, less would be nothing at all. DeOxit has wrecked a lot of gear according to Agedhorse. Less is more is a good maxim.
  13. 1 bass smuggled into the house in parts over 20 years is the crime of the century. You might get away with it. Depends how silly the other is. They may not really care for the skullduggery all the same.
  14. I take it you are used to the Elf getting quite warm tp the touch when working? Overloading the input stage isn't going to make diddly squat extra heat before it would sound incredibly angry. I think your fan isn't working or you obstructed it somehow.
  15. Half of that extra loud is sucked up with modern drivers being half as sensitive as the vintage ones old BMP was using with his 50w amp.
  16. How's the tonez?
  17. The Venture is an all new Yamaha, much as Peavey revitalized Trace Elliot, minus bass player enthusiasm.
  18. By my maths that is two 200w tube amos. Divide and conquer.
  19. Thread title could benefit of a change. "Most unwelcome overplaying guest soloist at open jam".
  20. Harmonica, lead guitar. Can't decide which gets the title.
  21. Barefaced do cloth grilles and custom tolex jobs. Trace Elliot green 210 with Elf on top?
  22. You should me more concerned with blowing up your hearing. Never plug more than one amplifier into a speaker. If it isn't obvious what cables are what you should check with someone before hooking it up. Mind out with the output sliders. If something isn't making any sound, turning up the output won't fix it.
  23. If you would be bereft should it be stolen you could insure appropriately at the cost of similar enough model Fender plus sandblasting and the satin clearcoat. That would mean paying extra premiums which perhaps temper your enthusiasm for like for like insuring. Hence the dilemma?
  24. 500w is only going to get you a 3dB boost if your cab can take it all without cooking or breaking. 1200w means you can plug into a big high power handler like a BF Twin and give it some berries, outdoors on a big stage. Elf sales don't hurt 1200 sales and vice versa. A 500w version would not be significantly cheaper than the 1200. Hence no 500w version.
