A great piece... Interesting idea. I love this kind of music. Tallis particularly.. Also Palestrina, Allegri, Byrd... The power of voice...

Yup... lefty playing right.... awful lot of it about, you know [size=4] [/size]

[quote name='bassmachine2112' timestamp='1377929955' post='2193652'] hiho,I,ve got an Orange terror bass head and cab and it,s always cold,never gets warm even when we had the heatwave unlike my old ampig where you could do a sunday roast with it including roast potatoes, pan of soup ,a few rounds of toast at the back and heat the venue in the winter. [/quote] I once rehearsed at a place where the guy running it insisted I try his Ampeg SVT stack, he was right proud of it.... I was curious, so I did... Sounded great, as they do.... as time passed, an odd smell started to fill the room, it didn't twig at first but soon enough it became obvious that it was the Ampeg which was by now smoking!... Fan was knackered... thing had heated up massively & was about to burst into flames!!... It cost him a fair bit to sort it out & I felt a bit guilty that I didn't cotton on earlier & perhaps saved it .... but he did offer!.... I woulda been happy to have used the amp I had bought along....... Update: I've gigged the MB500 over this weekend & it performs fine.... Gets a little warm after a few hours but nothing to worry about... fan kicks in when it's supposed to... all good.... it's sooo tiny!... & makes a massive noise!

[quote name='cybertect' timestamp='1377728238' post='2191193'] I've had mine about a month and had similar experiences with the fan coming on occasionally not long after it's been turned on but not used in anger. Most of the time the fan stays off, though. It does get a bit warm to the touch after prolonged use, but not exactly what I'd call hot. [/quote] Thanks for that... think I was just a bit paranoid! I've had a bit of experience with having to send new stuff back to be replaced... A GK MBE cab with a faulty tweeter switch being amongst them!

[quote name='Musky' timestamp='1377729350' post='2191215'] I've got to admit to being a little disappointed with the content of this thread after the title looked so promising... [/quote] fnarr fnarr! aww.... soz! [size=4]Will this help?[/size] [size=4][/size] No?

Recently bought a Gallien Krueger MB500 head.... sweet, tiny, pokey, tiny, cute, so tiny.... powerful, versatile, tiny... god it's tiny! I've been using my Genz Benz Neo-Pak a lot recently & really been liking it... So kinda got the notion to trade in my GK1001RB II (my more 'testosterone' head, reserved for those bigger stage needs) for something more portable .....& it arrived from GAK recently.... Not gigged it yet... Will do on Friday.... But I am pretty impressed with what it is doing at low volume... Just wondering... I seem to remember reading something somewhere where an MB500 owner was saying that the fan hardly ever kicks in because it never seems to get warm.... Well, my experience is that, I have had it on...but done nothing with it.... & suddenly the fan has kicked in... So just experimented with leaving it on for a couple of hours & it seems quite warm to the touch!... is this normal? I'm appealing to other GK MB500 owners.... am I just being paranoid? ....prolly! ....yeah, surely!? I wouldn't have thought about it if I hadn't read that!.... Any thoughts?[i] (tell me I'm being stupid!... )[/i] [i][/i]

Sold a GK 1001RB to Paul. He traveled a fair way to pick it up, payed in cash money & was a top bloke to deal with throughout. I'd have no problem in further dealings...

[quote name='ratman' timestamp='1376240957' post='2171201'] Yes I know Waynes Bar!! One of my bands did a couple of one week stints there 3 years ago. Mental sums it up nicely. The gigs were so much fun, and the drinking that followed was legendary! On the second week we were there the air con in the pit had packed up, I have never, ever, played in heat like it. Most of the band at some point nearly passed out, no lie. All in all, fond memories. I did hear that they weren't using British bands any more. That's obviously not true so maybe I'll get back there someday. [/quote] Yeah!... Last time I did this gig was Oct... this was July, I nearly passed out myself!.... Sam [i](was he working there back then?)[/i] told us it peeked at 45 degrees in the pit once!... F.Hot! ....A lotta fun but not much of an earner.
