I’ve got a 302 and a 402-A. I love them both. They both have a similar tone but the 402-A obviously gives you more bass/treble options and creates a big tonal difference even flat, when the actives are engaged. It has a Spector like airy’ness about the top end and the Bottom is a very usable and...

Silly question but have you switched the standby switch on?

I managed to track down the matching head for my 1x15scoop cab. The Bass Machine 250. Not a band sounding amp.

Some pictures from my phone.

A very impromptu get together last week at my rehearsal room. We usually get together this time of year to chew the fat, drink tea and eat sweet mince pies. Mmmmmm Pie . Pictures ©️ WaterofTyne

This is the Pro Stingray, twin channel with parametric eq. Great amps, almost indestructible and the most reliable amps of the 70-90s.

Im including myself in that description. It’s self deprecation? We all are. We all have gas which is irrational. We are all into gimmicks and the latest tech/item. Magpies looking for the latest shiny addition to our equipment collection. Never Mind. Agree to disagree.

If that’s aimed at me, I’m not perfect, just clarifying and backing my opinion and experience with facts. Until someone provides evidence to the contrary, I’ll stick with the physics.

1: ‘Engineer’ or band member that operates the desk, we’re talking semantics here aren’t we? 2: Great, it works for you. That’s fine. Doesn’t work for me and the Physics don’t make sense as I’ve explained. But again I’m happy you’re happy. Enjoy. ps. Notice how I didn’t insult you? I don’t...

I doesn’t bother me if I’m ‘called out for being unkind or rude’ however it seems I’ve offended some very fragile egos for daring to provide a difference of opinion on a forum. That’s just very strange. Sorry

Really? Using terms like ‘I don’t understand why’ and you Think that implies I’m calling people idiots. Baffling. Not once did I call anyone ‘idiotic’ nor imply stupidity. Good open debate must be had by all on here eh? What is really meant by the resentment is, you wanted me to agree with the...

Did I call you or anyone else a ‘bellend’ ? No? Then there was absolutely no reason for you to do so. It says an awful lot about you mate.

1: Playing in bars or venues, it’s the engineer who will deal with your signal. Why would you send the FOH a sh1t bass and fundamental light signal?? I also talked about treating your own home studios or rehearsal spaces. 2: Amp manufacturers have been putting gimmicks on equipment since the...

That my friend is how science works. Fact, based on current proven theories, however it remains fluid enough to be superseded as technologies and research change or are updated. I’ll stick to science rather than opinion thanks.

Yes I spend too much buying and restoring them. Currently I have; HH 1x15 Bass Machine Scoop HH 412 BL Acoustic Control 408 (4x15) Acoustic Control 408 (4x15) Mesa Boogie 1516 Mesa Boogie 210 Mesa Boogie 115 Peavey 3620 (2x18 + 2x10) they all have accompanying heads/racks and i Have a...
