What colour? Please say yellow...

Meant to post these instructions earlier. Thanks for the reminder, @Merton! wb-100 instructions.pdf

Don't forget to go through the setup procedure each time (sorry if you already know this). And then... set the EQ to flat, pop that drive button in, set the feedback switch to the centre position, max the output gain, and brace yourself. What cab are you using?

Worry not... the important page is in English, too. http://www.handbox.pl/BASS-AMPLIFIERS-c42.html

It’s still working for me.. http://www.handbox.pl/cgi-bin/index.pl But to answer your question, they are.

Ah, you lucky duck. I love the original EQ. Probably would have scored this myself if I’d seen it. FWIW I don’t think the DI is as hot on the original. You might not need the attenuator.

Ah, didn’t see that! Is it the original passive EQ, or the newer model with the mid?

Original or not, it’s a (beefy) beaut.

I guess it's part of the tactic by promoters to ensure that there will be people in the audience.

Happy to be of service.

Here’s another one in a local shop… https://www.facebook.com/share/p/btE1X8VqyMstU5xq/?mibextid=WC7FNe

Shove a plug in and out the FX send and return sockets in the back of the amp a few times. The plugs can have problems if they're not used regularly (oxidisation I think) and that will clean them.

Mrs. WoT plays the accordion, and I regularly have the pleasure of playing alongside this lassie, who is world-class.

Apple, 'cos it fits in with what I use, and they pay artists a little more than Spotify's atrocious pittance (although still not enough).

It's not, but 10-15 years does make a difference. That's how it works.

Quite. It’s amazing what a decade or so can do.

But 10-15 years ago, they weren’t really seen as desirable. Just like 60s basses in the 80s.

I’m not sure that’s the case, other than the basses were ten years newer back then, which would be reflected in the price.

IMO BassBros help keep prices down. They’re one of the more down-to-earth retailers, I think. FWIW in the decades I’ve been on Basschat, I can’t remember a time when anyone ever said ‘Hey - have you noticed vintage bass prices are really reasonable at the moment?’

A bit of Eagles from a new band wot I'm in.

No, but we did a cover of ‘Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love To Town’ as a tribute to him, ‘cos he had a hit with a (terrible) version of it in Scandinavia in the early 80s. Gawd bless him.

The amazing Mel Duffy, who works with Squeeze, First Aid Kit, and Robbie Williams. Incredible musician, and lovely chap.

^^^ He's an absolute gent. Here's a clip from the show. Phone mic quality, etc.

Hello! Right, I've come up for air. It was a VERY late night last night 😄 Rehearsal days were 10-7. Show day was 9am-2m (as it turned out!) Yep - here's the set list: So, the songs all have some sort of connection to Auf Wiedersehen Pet and / or Jimmy. The character Oz was a big Merle Haggard fan, so that accounts for their presence, and that of steel player and all-round lovely bloke Mel Duffy, who is an absolute wizard. He's currently touring with Squeeze. We had various cast members get up during the evening to sing songs (the principal ladies sang Boots and Stand By Your Man, for example). Rehearsals were relatively painless - we'd all done our homework in advance, and there were only the odd arrangement tweaks to account for. It was a busier time for me as I was also vision editor, responsible for creating the 70-ish videos seen throughout the show on the massive screen. The shows themselves went fine, with only the odd flub from any of us that Joe Public wouldn't notice. The smooth execution was aided by one of the best crews in the biz. The shows were a massive success - 4,000 attendees in total, raising a shedload of money for charity. And I got to meet Bill Paterson. It was shot with a view to possible release at some point, but I don't know way more than that. Here's some pics! The AV room, where the director makes sure the cameras capture every little nuance....

First show done…
