Last gig for a while - writing new material for a recording... But we're at The Dragonffli in Pontypool Friday 16th with support from Capitol Confusion. Tidy!

But is it at least 9' tall? Never mind the quality, feel the width! Talking of which, Mr Mayhem could lay those 8x10s down sideways on top of each other, TKSs on top next to each other vertically with Accugroove vertically on top of those. One of the Fender Bassman amps would complete what would, on first glance, be a functional stack of Gentleman's width!

Mmmmmm, raffia! 😁 I had to use a stepladder to build my WobbleyStack (TM). And as my amp will only do a 2ohm load if it's driving both channels I'd need a 2nd identical stack to actually play through it!

Indeed! It don't exist unless we can see it... Bring on yer Stack-of-Doom!!!! And combos aren't allowed in The Rules.

My taste in music was formed by the John Peel Show of the late 70s/early 80s, and by New Romantical and gay clubs of the early 80s. Which means I potentially like absolutely anything so long as it: a) is leftfield and a bit out-of-order b) has got a daft hairstyle c) funks'n'grooves like a mutha d) would make most parents from any era demand it be switched off

There's always a flaw in every great plan... If it hadn't been for you pesky kids etc!

Just got back from an afternoon set at Down On The Farm Festival near Hereford... It was the first time out for my Markbass 4x10/2x10 stack - band were impressed with how well it cut through. Not only that but there were only a couple of minor booboos, and a bass player from another band came up afterwards and complimented my playing (doesn't happen often!), saying as well that we sounded like Rage Against The Machine blended with Jamiroquai! Eek!

Bow down, puny Earthlings!

Bought a Markbass 104 cab off Paul yesterday; meet went as planned, kit was good as was his communication. Good bloke. Cheers!

Well my wife's gone to Java. Jakarta? No, she went on the bleedin' plane!

I've tried to like Tool over the years but their complete failure to say "All the girls go 'Owww, all the guys go 'woof!'" at any point, or to break it down to just handclaps with the whole band shouting "Ain't nuthin' but a party, babba!" just makes them a no-no for me.

Bit of Cory, featuring some serious bass playing by Sonny T (Warwick Infinity?) Not sure if this has been up already, but it's so nice you can play it at least twice...

This thread needs lots more Bootsy and PFunk…

Ain't nuthin' but a party!

Album with this on... Though this features an exciting array of stringed instruments! (Kubicki bass? Steinberger cricket bat?)

There's always "You picked a fine time to leaf me Lucille"...

I always take a decent sized bowl onstage as I find that sort of thing adds to the spectacle... Fills in those boring guitarist tuning up moments. It worked for GG Allin!

Indeed, but like that all-too-believable chariot race in Ben Hur there's a minor detail that makes it not quite right. In Ben Hur's case it was the alleged sports car in the background - though this turned out to be a myth. And the obvious not-myth thing in the pic is: Lemmy isn't normally pictured with a fan-fret 5 string slung above the waist! This is obviously Not-Lemmy - his evil mole-less jazz-funk twin...

I'm enjoying this arty lot at the moment...

You're on at Down on the Farm too? We're playing there Sunday 11th - 1st on main stage...

Our singer's going! She'll definitely be watching Terminal Rage at 1645 on Friday...

I use an enormous Yamaha folded horn with a Precision Devices 1x15, with a Markbass 2x10 Traveller on the top. Both are similar sensitivity, though the Markbass sounds louder because of the horn (!). However, they work very well together - very large and clean sound from 1500W of bridged Crown. I've also tried them with one plugged into each channel of the amp - the 1x15 set to everything below 200Hz and the Markbass all above 100Hz, then turned the 15 channel up higher than the 2x10. Overall this is quieter, but there's still immense headroom so in some ways this is the best option for most serious low end.
