See what you did there… 👏

😘 Thanks Laurie.

😂 Can you imagine?

Thank you 🤗

It’s funny that you should ask that. The crossover for the passive speakers seems to have failed on the active subwoofer. We now use the subwoofer through the main desk out and feed some other behringer active mid-range speakers from the ‘control room outputs’. We need to look at getting it repaired at some point.

He really was and it definitely was.

We’re not sure about that! 🤣

Aww shucks! Thank you Miss. ❤️

We never really looked into it and thought it was more fun to create our own meaning. Thanks for highlighting it though!

@@ScribbleVictory lmao alright

Haha, thanks! 😅

Hi Garry, thanks for the kind words. The great thing about IOW is that you don’t need a busking license. It was a scorching day, so even though the beach was busy, I’ve seen it busier. I think some people decided to stay in the shade. There was a local guy from the council tending to some flowers and we asked him if he had a problem with us setting up and playing, but he didn’t. Shanklin is a nice location and people tend to listen from the beach. We had packed down and were about to leave and some people chased us down to tell us that they enjoyed it and slipped us some money. Sandown or Ryde might be another good bet. The train is convenient if you wanted to try a few spots in a day too!

@@ScribbleVictory Hey thanks for getting back to me . It’s always good to get a bit of feedback from people who have the t shirt. No excuse not to do it now then !! I used to play a lot back in the day in various bands around the country but I’m a bit of a fossil now so late nights are about as appealing as a poke in the eye to be honest . A couple of hours busking in the sunshine though ... lovely 😎.

You’re a charmer Gadd. X

Definitely a coincidence! 😅

Oh absolutely! Pre-pandemic we used it 20+ times and it packs a punch in small, medium and large venues. We even use it for practice and we wouldn’t do without it. The sub isn’t ideal for tight stairs but there’s only one of them, so it’s easier than what we had before! Thanks for the views!

I've got wheels on my sub. Makes it a bit easier to move about!

@@jespurrier It’s a good idea to be honest. We got the dolly board for that reason but staircases seem to be it’s Kryptonite.

@@ScribbleVictory I have even used the sub in conjunction with my home cinema system and it works surprisingly well even at very low volume. I love this PA. Can't wait to get back out with it once this all calms down. My only criticism is that the paint should be a bit tougher really.

@@jespurrier can one person lift the sub alone or am I better going for the 15?

Thank you! And you!

And to you too!

Cheers man! (A month late)

Cheers mate! Only just seen this. :-)

Cheers mate! It wasn’t the holiday we wanted but it was the holiday we needed!

Sharon Mcqueen torres Thanks again for your comments on this. Really helpful. I’ll definitely look into everything you’ve suggested! Best of luck to you 😁

Sharon Mcqueen torres Thank you. How can you tell?

Scribble Victory melodeon of that age have a split line all the way across the keyboard just under the black keys. The tips of every key is real ebony ivory. A solid key means the keys were replaced at some point with imitation ivory/plastic to look like ivory. I’d have it looked at. You can also google/KZbin this.

Zane Cooper Thank you so much for the information Zane. As you can imagine, these are hard to research unless you know what you’re looking for! This is gold dust.

@@ScribbleVictory You're welcome. I found some more information about the Style 109 in the Reed Organ Society Database -- www.reedsoc.org/index.php/rosdb/vieworgan?name=Mason+Hamlin+109&regNo=&nm=1&ctry=1&ser=1&info=1&mklc=1&modl=1&ymStrt=&ymEnd=&stopStrt=&stopEnd=&cStyl=0&showOrg=1&showGel=1&advanced=0&type=Search&ID=12541&itemID=0

Ben Moulden Ah thanks mate. You’ll have to pop round for a tinkle!

An update about mine. I've just had to change the neutrik sockets for the speaker outputs for genuine neutrik versions as the locking part is made of plastic on the ones fitted to the sub and speakers and it seems to wear out with normal use. The speaker connections then become unreliable and easy to disconnect with a slight touch as they no longer lock in place. Basically, my view now is to not bother with any non genuine neutrik connector of any kind as none are up to the job. The genuine versions have metal locking parts in the sockets and are in a different league. LD should have used these in the first place. I still love the system though and this is a very good upgrade.

Why? 🙈

TheHerronBrothers Thank you Sirs!

Dean Hunter Perhaps we should’ve put a disclaimer? And thank you man!

BANKS RADIO Thank you for the kind words!

Ben Moulden The most depressing song in history... Wonder how it would translate as an Ibiza anthem?

Ben Mark Smith Sorry there’s no sound mate!

AlessWells Thanks Duckie!

Vince Cooper Thanks mate. Hadn’t thought of that!

TheHerronBrothers We’ll have to do a collaboration!

Ben Moulden No regrets! We’re going to take multipacks of chocolate to every event that we play from now on.

We do have high standards when it comes to pork cobs! We’ve lost count of how many we’ve eaten this year. That free one did go up to a 9/10 but the footage was lost... 🤣🤣🤣

Richard Taylor Thanks again for having us! And we’ll take you up on that. Do we get a badge for learning the salute? 🤣

Ben Moulden That’s not actually a bad shout! Thanks mate

Ben Moulden So bored of the rain now!

Doughnuts are part of your ‘5-a-day’, yeah?
