All in the 8.6 - 8.8 range for me. Just how I like it.

Aye - it's been on the cards for a while.

Jerry Scheff has always been perfectly pleasant when we've chatted via PM, and he's played with Elvis and Bob Dylan. *head explodes*

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1423036844' post='2679738'] It's dead center. It's just the shadow on the bevel. [/quote] I dunno - the shot at 3:00-ish is pretty much head-on, and it looks out to me...

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1422997241' post='2679416'] UK company... But cheaper in USA? [url="http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2015/02/03/ashdown-announces-desktop-b-social-bass-amp/"]http://www.notreble....ocial-bass-amp/[/url] [/quote] The VU meter looks off-centre in the video at the bottom of this page. That would drive me nuts. Some good features on it, though. I like the idea of the wireless play-along.

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1422949351' post='2678628'] I heard your slughtly bigger TKS cab you had lent warwickhunt the other week. It was nice which model was that? [/quote] Hello! It was the S212. To all intents and purposes two S112's in a single cab. [quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1422949801' post='2678636'] I gave my new S112 a good workout this weekend and I am very impressed. I'm struck by the decent amount of low end, good projection, and how well it takes EQ too. And the I paired it with the 1156! Very happy [/quote] Great, isn't it? :-)

*thinking out loud* Can anyone remember the spec of the Little Giant? 1000w, wasn't it?

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1422904730' post='2678198'] I'm going to guess you mean the TC RH450? IIRC the Bass Gear Magazine bench tests confirmed that they do have a steep highpass filter at 80Hz which can't be defeated. [/quote] I'm fairly sure it's around 40Hz on the RH450...?

[quote name='Ashdown Engineering' timestamp='1422873964' post='2677678'] Comments like this are always interesting. There are many so called 'boutique'/'premium' brands we look and we just think really? Cabinets that consist of off the shelf drivers in an average box with cheap backplates but sell for £1k... Amps that have no bass below 80hz? Amps that claim one power but actually produce way less. Amps that say they're built in one place but in fact they are actually pre assembled in another country all together... Etc Etc. But hey it would be wrong for us to start talking about all that. All of our amps have a 5 year warranty and our new ABM Foundation cabinets actually have a lifetime warranty for the original owner meaning if you blow a speaker in 15 years time we will replace it no questions asked. How many 'premium' brands offer this? This is how confident we are in our products today.[/quote] That's all fair comment. I stand by mine, though.

[quote name='BluRay' timestamp='1422784828' post='2676643'] Clearly some people think the price makes it high end. But that's OK isn't it? [/quote] Time will tell. No offence to Ashdown, but it's years since they were thought of as a premium brand. Bergantino or AER might have an easier time charging big bucks for sonething like this. Question for Ashdown - is it manufactured in the UK?

[quote name='Mudpup' timestamp='1422611336' post='2674530'] Pop mine in meths overnight and it doubles the zing life [/quote] Anything to impress the ladies, eh?

Seriously though - do some of the posters here really have to find something to do during the verses? It's not as if anyone is watching you. Just hang out, smug in the knowledge that you're responsible for making people's arses wiggle when the chorus comes in.

I think about what I'm going to spend my fee on. (Actually, I'm one of those people who just enjoys playing, so it doesn't actually bother me)

He did have sparkly boots and a curly wig on at one point. It's a long story :-)

It's my homepage...

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1422460706' post='2672977'] There's something about it that makes me want to dislike it but I find myself liking it.... I'm confused [/quote] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmQvxfo75K0

[quote name='Mr Arkadin' timestamp='1422459649' post='2672962'] As I said I guess I'm out of touch with what I thought London was about, quirky streets and such rather than buildings that could just as well be in Dubai. [/quote] What would you have them build instead? Whatever it is will look modern. The thing is, London is stuffed full of architecture that is quintessentially London. Having it punctuated with brave, ambitious and exciting (and polarising) buildings that replace the 60's cack is a good thing, IMO.

Hey gang Played at a Burns night do over the weekend in a posh bit of town. Unfortunately our singer woke up with no voice, so we had to draft in some subs. Thankfully Tim Healy off the telly was there, and he helped us out on a couple: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k_e-BX5mgw[/media] And Vikk, the lovely singer from one of my other bands, Rosie & the Hips, stepped in to do a big part of the set too: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-ZiHE3Ldfg[/media] Quite a few hairy moments, lots of making stuff up on the spot, but I think we got away with it...

[quote name='Jazzneck' timestamp='1422457884' post='2672935'] Go topless young man, only fit a bridge cover. This, admittedly, is a half-way house but it looks good, allows space to play and you can stick your knickers under the bridge cover to mute dem strings when needed. [/quote] I used to be a bridge-cover-only guy, but since I started palm-muting, I've done without...

Bump for this.. thinking of picking one up to drop in a P. Any more thoughts, experiences, etc?

I got treat very shabbily in Norm's back in the day. Not a happy experience.
