  1. Would heartily recommend the following

  2. Would suggest raising the D string at the bridge and see if that removes the click.
    Have had a similar sounding problem with a P bass, the action was just a touch low so that on the initial attack the string was clicking off the fret after the one being fretted... or the 1st fret when playing an open string.
    It only appeared playing fingerstyle as I tend to pluck down through the string, when using a pick and playing across the string there was no click.

  3. Was at the Classic Grand in Glasgow last night playing with 5 Second Warning as part of the Clutha Benefit weekend... had a cracking time. Some excellent bands on the bill.
    It was my first live outing with the band and had a great time.
    Unfortunately I had to have words with the soundman... the mic he gave me for backing vocals was out of tune :P
    House bass rig is an svt450 with 8x10 so no problem being heard :D

  4. the matching of the valves depends on the biasing...
    Have just done a valve replacement and bias on a marshall guitar head, 4 EL-34's in the head, but they are biased in pairs so could buy either 2 matched pairs or a matched set of four.
    Hot Rox give you the option of buying as matched pairs/quads/ etc.

    If it's fixed bias (no pot inside for adjustment) then I would guess you would need a matched set of 6

  5. Another Laney user here... got an R3 which is currently known as an RB6 i think. 100w on its own, 165w with an extention cab (I use the laney 4x10).

    Keeps up nicely in a 3 100w marshall guitarist band (although, to be fair, they have all been playing for years and know how to EQ properly and know the difference between volume and clarity)

    DI works nicely. Tweeter is a bit hissy, but there's an off switch.

    Cheap as chips, rugged/robust... nothing flashy (no built in tuner/headphone out/cd in etc.) but does what it says on the tin.
    Played getting on for 100 gigs with it, never had an issue, and if it exploded horribly tomorrow it's more than paid for itself...

    Bought for £150 from this very forum.

  6. Estates are indeed the dugs danglers.
    Picked up a volvo estate a few weeks ago and it is mahoosive.
    I have played in pubs smaller than the back o the volvo (with the rear seats folded down obviously).
