I know a few local bands who've booked out The Apex . Worked quite well - just need a massive promotion to make sure that you don't lose the cost of hiring it .

Ipswich has quite a few good music pubs . The Black Horse is a regular for us , but it has been slightly quieter this last 6 months - Landlady said it has been across the board . Might be a blip Pete - who knows

He he . Last compression thread didn't end up well with him

Do you think that Vail Johnson is going to post?

Why do they keep making them with 20 frets? Only the 5 string has 21 . I know it's hardy a deal breaker for many , but always thought it was strange

"We can't hear you at the back . Can you turn up?" "Oh go on then"

My Powerhouse 412 came this afternoon - it's big he he . Just a tad bigger than the Eden 610 , but somehow feels a lot bigger . Won't fit in the under stairs cupboard , where the 610 just about squeezes through the door - 412 is about a cm wider - so has to go in the garage with the bass bins from the PA . I can say though , that the fit and finish of these Boogie cabs are second to none - absolutely top notch . It's probably going to be a cab that will only be used 3/4 times a year , but I can live with that . Wife wasn't pleased at the size of it , but realistically , buying a couple of BF 410's is out of my price range at the moment , and probably for years , if ever .

They're all gone now I think - apart from the more pricey ones , with the tolex case . What's it sound like?

Just hit the button on the 412 Powerhouse - it's Christmas after all . Easier than I thought , getting the OK for it . Was gonna go lightweight again , but this is far cheaper he he

I have the 751 , but always wanted a M9 too - I think it's got the same 'slam', but not so tubey sounding (as per Talkbass stuff) . M9 is roughly a third of the price , and now only the one left - I think there were 3 or 4 the other day . These prices have definitely made a lot of people think . I'm still hovering over the 412 - do I need it? Then I thought that if I sold the 751 , I could justify an M9 , plus the 412 . These are real 3rd world problems , but that page is so bl**dy tempting

I just refuse to play sh*tholes like this now - as do the band , and frankly anyone who I've depped with over the last couple of years . I mean you get the odd tricky load in , but some of the ones that I've read here ... I just wouldn't bother . Perhaps I'm in the minority?

I really wish I hadn't seen this

Even though it's deemed a 'forgotten album' , I'm still a fan of Dave Navarro's playing

It's such a shame that they discontinued the 6x10 Powerhouse . Always lusted after one of those - not the 'Traditional' one that's sealed , but the 'Standard' one - brute of a cab

When I was sort of collecting different Fenders (years ago) , I couldn't find one of these for love nor money . This was pre internet mind

I know , it's unbelievable isn't it . We have to pay insurance in case they can't do their job . Pick up only for my stuff - unless its pedals and the like . If they want it enough , they'll put themselves out - sad really that it's come to this

I think Foreigner are playing without any original members - Mick Jones occasionally joins in for a gig or two . That's a strange one

Nice choice

Wish I'd bought that Modulus Jazz that's been up here over the years . What model is tempting you Andy?

They won't -I tried that years ago

The pro audio sites often look for slightly different things . Case in point - when I was researching the CA9 (loved in the States , but not so much here) , the only negative talk about it , was that it was underpowered . Maybe if you're building a massive theatre installation , but for bass , even in massive rooms , it's a beast
