After getting to the gig car park tonight a little late and wondering why I was first there, I got a call from one of the other band members asking if I was ok. It turned out I had selected the wrong gig from the recent destinations tab on my satnav. I was lucky it was only 18 miles from where I should have been and I got there about 15 minutes before we were due to start. First time in all my years I have done that.

Aqualung and quite few other Tull songs.

[quote name='Earbrass' timestamp='1337169657' post='1656470'] well, no they don't - the more emissions, the more damage they are causing. The great advantage of fuel tax is that it makes the biggest polluters pay the most. [/quote] But they are still using the road that has to be paid for. The biggest polluters are already paying by having to buy more petrol to polute with.

Just a reminder that the car tax banding was brought in by a Labour government. Since they did that I now only tax and insure my MX5 for 6 months and then SORN it. Last year the tax was £143 for 6 months and I did less than 800 miles. Some cars pay no road tax and do 1000s of miles. It's staying in the garage this year as I can't afford/justify it.

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1336073055' post='1640602'] You might want to check that. I was expecting mine at sixty but I've got to wait until sixty-one and three quarters. [/quote] Living on Merseyside we still get our local bus/train/ferry pass at 60, best birthday pressie I got. But yes, I have to wait till I am sixty one and a quarter (this Sept) for the national one.

Never mind, they are a quirky lot here, some would only think you have just registered on here to sell that combo.

Bear in mind that they are not "off the shelf" speakers, being 6Ω units.

What did they miss the first two times they repaired it, and how did they miss it?

I have a set of Elites short scale 45-105 on my EB3, got them from the Bass Centre a (good) while back.

[quote name='Austin7' timestamp='1329236652' post='1539334'] As is the case with many people, what I like best is what he did with Cream playing the EB-3. I'm in the minority in that I actually like the loud, growling, muddy 60s TONE of that, though. [/quote] I'm in that minority too. Still have my battered 64 EB3, but like to use my Epiphone Elite (with original humbucker fitted for nostalgia) nowadays. The minority is growing.

Just watched a clip from the programme advert of him doing Theme From An Imaginary Western, what a song and what a voice the man still has. [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00nrcfb"]BBC Artworks[/url]

I made this about two weeks ago for my Hartke combo, really noticed the difference on the boom box stages at the last couple of gigs. Have to do one now for my SVT 610HLF.

[quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1323036939' post='1458630'] I know I'd miss it if it was gone, but it's been over 3 years since it's seen any action. [/quote] Just keep playing with it in your bedroom like a lot of others do.

I like the way it looks like there is no cover on the control cavity, very realistic.

I was in B&Q this morning looking at this [url="http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav.jsp?action=detail&fh_secondid=9273772&fh_location=//catalog01/en_GB/categories%3C{9372016}/categories%3C{9372050}/categories%3C{9372231}/specificationsProductType=pipe_wrap"]pipe insulation[/url]. This is about 3" diameter. I was wondering if cutting a load of 2" doughnuts and sticking them to a piece of MDF would work

Someone must have left the back open.

I have known people do that, or removing the earth from the plug top to stop hum from earth loops when connecting multiple amps together. Dangerous practice.

Reply from Larry Hartke [quote] Hey Pete, The Kickback amplifiers are designed to work with the internal 6 ohm speaker for maximum output. The amplfier says 8ohms because we don't want people hooking them up to 4 ohm speakers. I'll check on the nomenclature in the manual etc. but no worries we make thousands of the Kickbacks and they are workhorses and extremely reliable. Enjoy!

Cheers, Yes. had it from new. Have been searching on the web and have found a few references to them (Hartke) using a 6Ω speaker and also that the amp is 120 watts @ 4Ω. Have mailed Hartke support for more info.

I have a Hartke Kickback 15 combo for playing at home. Although I have had it for some years, I have just noticed the speaker output on back of amp says 8Ω minimum but barcode label on port says 6Ω and also a sticker on the speaker says 6Ω. Manual specs say 120 watts @ 8Ω and contains !5" 8Ω speaker. Not sure what to make of it.

Might be late now, but useful to know in future, [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/6.35mm-stereo-long-reach-chassis-socket-223988"]MAPLIN[/url]
