Yeah, the Prodigy did get mixed reviews, and IIRC the reliability was a bit shonky. I did fancy a go when they first came out. I was put off by the price, and the word 'scooped' being bandied about...

'Cauction'.

You're welcome! FWIW, I've just re-uploaded the video with some bits added that I'd forgotten about.

Here's a brief walkthrough of the amp, for anyone who's interested...

^^^^ That's what I use. Mind, I've only been asked to see them once, at a festival where the health & safety guy was a 'qualified' PAT tester who could test any uncertified gear for a reasonable fee. How convenient.

Do you have powerline networking in the house? I do, and I get a noise in my amps unlessl I switch it off.

Ah... the warm, muted glow of a well-relic'd bass. Lovely. IMO.

Music for musicians. Yeeeuch. I wonder if the bass player dresses in stage gear when he's out sweeping the streets during his 9-5?

OMG that’s rotten.

I'm not so sure about this. I think we're talking a small number of people*. *I'm very happy to proved wrong.

Fair point, but Talk Radio etc. have a massive potential audience, the experience to keep shows snappy, and - more importantly - everyone can listen to it in the car or in the office. BC has the luxury of none of those....

[Devil's advocate mode ON] I also think we need to ask what the purpose of it is. I doubt it will attract new members, or extend BC's reach.. especially if it's not on FB or YouTube, and audio-only (and therefore linear). Would the content be better served in posts instead, where they'd get a wider audience and more interaction? Or... is it literally just a nice thing to have? Not that that's a bad thing, but it'll be a decent amount of effort, for what...?

I'm not sure I've read a lot of criticism of early 80s Fenders..? They'd downscaled production significantly, and seemed to take a lot more care over things. Far better than the back-end of the previous decade.

Would they perform better than Youtube content?

I’m not sure a podcast would reach a large enough audience to justify it..?

Nah, not worth 14 quid. Borrow it.

It is. We're agreeing with you.

Quite.

You'll get lots of recommendations, but TKS S212 all the way for me. It sounds incredible, amazingly well built, and beautiful.

Not Aliexpress. Dunno who Dale is.

Aye - of all of them, it's the one I was most worried about. It was fine though - I was even able to enjoy it...!

Ha ha.. 'tis a fair cop :-)

I'll just leave this here...

There's a drummer 'round our way who actually starts dismantling his kit during the last song. By the end of it, everything that can be unscrewed has been.
