Thanks for that. I had forgotten about that section, looks like the last time it was touched was nearly ten years ago I've plugged the Tele in, will plug the active Strat (heresy on heresy) in later and just have a play. The 8" cab is (to my ears) a very good cab for both guitars and basses. I would like to say it's my playing but I'm not that stupid (or egoistical). Rob

Not sure if I should even post this here... It might offend some people so I've hidden this below. If you are easily offended, then don't look. You can't say you haven't been warned

In a more serious vein, a second cab allows me to keep one connected in my "office" and one I can take out easily to jam with. I hate undoing all the connections and redoing them each time.

It sounds very good. Lots of midrange tone and very loud. I suspect I need to spend some time with it to work out the sound I like the best. Rob

My guess as to the top 10 is Stairway to Heaven Bohemian Rhapsody Freebird Hotel California All Right Now Highway to Hell Comfortably Numb Paranoid Sweet Child of Mine Smoke on the Water No idea to be honest... If there is anything from 2000 onwards, I'd be surprised. I make no claims on the merits of the songs. Rob

I agree, it's completely rational and perfectly justified hatred. I'd put it on the same level as Bennie Hills "Fastest Milkman in the West". Mind you that song might come in in the Top 100, so we need to be careful for what we wish for. Rob

Not sure how Massive Wagons have a song in 2026, but thats the date Planet Rock have put down. Most of these are "newer" than 1970's and 1980's but I am no expert Rob

If @neepheid is going to the show. I'll need to make sure I'm away that weekend lest he entice me into bad ways such as buying things 😊

An updated list based on yesterdays plays. By year This is the new one, slightly more in the 1990's than before. Queen still has the most entries with 15 followed by Black Sabbath with 12 and AC/DC with 11 and Led Zepp with 10 The 1970's and 1980's still dominate Rob

The cabs are stackable so relieving the stress on my two slipped discs 😁

Why not 🙄

Finally got the top coat on and the other bits attached to the speaker. It's basically finished. As it's really a deep black, there's not a lot of detail that can be seen on camera. The Gnome goes on the top or at the back You can see the rails here for front and back with the grab handles Here's the grill attached It definitely has a chunky Lego or kids toy vibe to it That's one down, I need to mull on the lessons learnt and then do Cabinet #2. Rob

So far: Alice Cooper - Schools out - No Aerosmith - Dream On - No Thin Lizzy has five entries but not Whisky in the Jar (which they hated) No adverts for MacDonalds though

People are welcome to come up to the NW Bass Bash, but it'd a fair old trek from down south.
