    The GP12SMX Trace preamp has two pre-shape settings, IIRC one of them actually sounds ok. But I never used either of them live.

    Yes, the Signal Shape 'Mid Scoop' button on my Genz always remains disengaged. I wish I could go back in time and tell my 22 year old self to stop trying to get a good sound with that stupid smiley EQ curve everybody used.

    The three best sounding amps I've had, in no particular order: Genz-Benz Shuttle (the 6.0 I used to have, and the 9.2 I have now) -- clean, powerful, and ridiculously light... the perfect amp for a gigging 59-year-old Eden WT400 -- lovely uncoloured sound. The best live sound I've ever had was when I borrowed @Kiwi's old Ken Smith BSR 5 and played it through the Eden. They were made for each other. Trace Elliot GP12SMX -- still my favourite preamp of all time.

    @TheGreek You might want to consider redacting your name and address from the first pic, given that this GD forum is freely accessible to non-members...

      Man, we're getting old ...
      Did you get to talk to the driver? Stig? (Will we ever get to know the true identity of that Stig? I still reckon it's Ricky Fataar.)

    Car insurance renewal quote just landed.

    Last year, £376.

    This year, £635.

    I don't bloody think so.

      Last year for me £270

      This year £367 was the renewal quote, which I managed to get down to £336, and couldn't get anywhere else for cheaper.

      But your quote 😳

      Pretty sure your current insurer doesn't want you on their books next year with that quote.

      I was expecting a big jump, but it actually went down a few quid!  This is an Admiral Multicar policy for me, my good lady wife, and my 23yo daughter.

    I wonder if the organiser's mate knows that he's playing for free while other players will be getting expenses money? And to address the original point -- yes I share your concern, it's a very weird situation and as the person arranging the dep I would have been just as unhappy with and embarrassed by it as you are. (Also, this £100-behind-the-bar nonsense needs sorting out before you play there again, but as you say that's a whole different subject.)

    Can people: a} stop biting lumps out of each other, and; b} stop invoking the B word please? Thank you ta.

    Agreed. We should do one last year and then give it up. For our last entry, the song should be called "Yeah We Get It, You All Hate Us".

    The instrument I've had for longest is my first ever bass, this '64/'65 Höfner Artist 2 that I bought from my metalwork teacher for £20 in 1982. Pretty much unplayable, at least one of the pickups is fubar. I really should get it going again, if only for old time's sake.

    Jesus wept. If I had 3k I'd be in the car right now. Sounds like an absurd bargain.

    Please note that trade offers must be sent via PMs folks. Ta.
