    Currently playing in one of the most easy going and enjoyable (and getting very musically slick) bands I have been in. At very nearly 60 I am the second youngest. As a by the by, does anyone have a flight case for Zimmer frame going spare. Just find the right set of like minded band members (which is the hard part).

    As above s/h laptop bag (got mine given for free) found at boot sales for peanuts. Charity shops also a good source. Plenty of quality bags about for very little money.

    String choice is another factor - Spiro Mittel gave significant volume on my DB. Hard on my right hand fingers though.

    Rotate the compact through 90 degrees (might need to buy additional feet). One less reason not to buy this highly desirable amp.

    Looks good, the yellow one needs the 'browned' aged cream pickguard (I have a Tele guitar that has gone custard yellow from ivory when new, I am partial to these).

    And on a likewise note I also use cheap basses for the majority of gigs these days. Some of my basses are not so much valuable but irreplaceable (or very difficult to replace). The quality of bitsas (and many 'cheap' basses) is quite remarkable and once the volume is raised any subtlety is lost on for me. Tha 'banana' / 'custard' yellow body looks good to me.

    Bought a set of Tannoy Hifi speakers from Sean. Excellent communication and a great person to deal with. An easy transaction, deal with confidence,

    And on another worrying guitarist note, not only have I had to ask one of our guitarists to turn up the volume (twice), I have also asked him to play longer solos. Our first set on Friday was run through at quite some pace.

    I am well pleased with my QSC GX7 (and sans amp pedals). Light (7.5Kg) and delivers 800W into 8 Ohms single channel (rather more into 4 Ohms). Plenty of headroom. The Leeds pedal is remarkable, I have the Hiwatt experience at a fraction of the weight - not done an AB with the real thing but it reminds me of my Hiwatts of my youth. Main gigging cab is BF Dubster (smaller cab is a Shermann Audio 15/6/1 full range).

    What a great bit of kit. I so wanted one of these in the late 70s / early 80s. Here it is at pocket money prices and in such good condition. GLWTS.

    Someone got a good cab for not much moolah

    No guarantees - the description reminds me of Innovation Silver Slaps. I have found them right hand friendly. I am sure others will make suggestions.

    Bought a set of TI flats from Pawel. Excellent communication, faster arrival than a fast thins. Do not hesitate. Many thanks.

    However in my case.. pmd

    Well pointed out, I had also forgotten this, memories of frequent repairs to my AC50 return. Seem to remember output transformers in many guitarists 100W valve amps failing as well.

    Correct, based on using such kit in my youth. A real 100W but lacking against Hiwatt and Marshall 100W valve amps. Nice sounding at the time, I would like to hear one with a modern high efficiency cab.

    The quality of this shows through. A bargain for someone.

    +1 and I was offered a job with HH R&D. Happy memories, how did we manage with IC100 and MA 100 pa. 100W seems unreal by today's kit. Just casing up my QSC 1.4 KW power amp for bass duties.

    In addition, take your time, small adjustments. In all the basses and guitars I have owned (too many) I had never worried about small adjustments and taking time. I had never had any problems, truss rods did what they should, instruments set up well.. Now I have an expensive quality bass (£4 figures) where the truss rod has compressed the wood and lifted the fingerboard. Lesson learned after 45 years! Bass is now in dry dock.

    Used the Dubster at band tonight. Two 3015 LFs with an adequate wattage made the earth move

    Likewise They do the business.

    And where are you based?

    Bought a Shure SM58 from Nick. Excellent communication, well packed and rapid arrival. Many thanks.
