Shiny brand new second hand things in my system today V1.2

I was listening to Buckminster Fuller by Add N To X earlier and the bass in it always makes me laugh it’s so good - I would love to hear it through them.

What I was really trying to gauge is what are the advantages of alnico, probably would be better in the DIY thread.

Speaking of DIY, any more tests in the rear horn cab?

That was intense!!

It’s so good - that from the ceiling to the basement effect they get is immense.

My mate Rob played drums with them, and we lived together for a chunk of that time. I saw Add N To X quite a few times. They were great live. Entire gigs played in front of a backdrop of hardcore porn movies :rofl:. They were mad generally, and Ann Shelton in particular. He used to come back from tours with a crazy tale from pretty much very day he was away. One gig I went to she had a fight with a girl friend of hers in the dressing room which ended up with the pair of them on the floor punching each other repeatedly in the face. The band and crew just pulled back towards the corners of the room and let them get on with it. 10 minutes later the pair of them were standing around with a drink like everyone else, bleeding and bruised but as if nothing had happened. :upside_down_face:

Amusingly, she’s not the only Ann Shelton who was a singer, but the one I found is quite different:
