I have no intention of forgetting about it. I bought the amp before I left for South America to travel for a year. Just before I left I did manage to join a few sessions. A session with Eoin O'Neill in Ennis and downstairs in the Craine Bar in Galway.

I approached them and simply asked and made it very easy for them to tell he it was not suitable. They didn't. The amp is small and tucked under my stool, you wouldn't know it was there. As for it's volume, it's just loud enough to be bearly heard.

Now these were relaxed enough sessions and were not strictly purist and I wouldn't expect to just in such a session.

I just want to learn and play Irish music with my choosen instrument.

Acoustic Bass guitars don't work and I can't afford a double bass.
