The odd two cabs can be plugged in all in parallel with the 810 and you get your 2 ohms of doom. I wouldn't want.to be in the same room but you do you. Assuming you have a mono amp and it isn't two channels of 4 ohm, you can simply daisy parallel from one cab to the next. Better to spread the load off the amp if you can. Still only need three speaker cables. So, twin speakons from amp. One goes to 810 off Amp1 and one to 410 off Amp2 with daisy to the 15. Mind you don't blow the 15. It will be getting the same power as any 4 of the 10's. A quarter of the amp output.

For electric bass in an acoustic band, D'Addario EXP Reds used to be my favourite as they were copper coated and had a suggestion of acoustic bass strings in their sound. Sadly they're not available any more and I've not seen anything similar coming to market of late - though I'd be interested to know if anyone else has. Of the strings that you can still get I personally favour Dunlop Super-Bright Nickels as they have quite a light and flexible feel, they sound nice and clear, and I find them comparatively easy on my fingers. I like the sound (and the feel - some people don't) of Ernie Ball Cobalt Slinky flats, but it seems that every time I put flats on a bass I end up selling it within a year as I'm just not using it any more.

Really interesting video that.

Studio mic preamps, I’m not sure what normal power is but knowing the person in question he’ll know them inside out, I personally don’t have a clue 😀. The Jad Freer domino looks perfect he is contacting them to see about the fan.

You could order one from Chienmortbb of this parish.

Depends on your tens and the cabinet. Bill used to offer a 210 option on a folded horn that would beat the hell out of most 15 regular subs. Also twice the size. A compact 12 sub could add a little thump to a vocal PA. If deployed under the bass cabinet you risk having bass coming out of the bass cabinet out of phase with the PA bass signal which could get ugly for the bass cabinet. It would take quite a bit of wiring and processing to make the best of it.

Good pub gig list night. Lots of people dancing and singing along to our Ska versions, it seems to work well - not just playing bog standard ska tunes or pub pop/rock covers, putting a different spin adds a bit of originality/interest while also being familiar enough for diverse pub crowd to get into. My feedback to the band will be that DJs (or at least good ones) read the crowd and play music to keep the dancefloor busy. Likewise, some flexibility in the band setlist would be good.

Welcome To My Nightmare - Alice Cooper

Never mind AI the biggest threat to music today is the simple fact that everyone including the Dog thinks thay can do it. If I have to listen again that horrendous childish chord progression everyone seems to use nowdays....... Couldnt wait to get out of my local tesco the other night. wth?

That’s quite a lot of power, unless these are valve amps - I wonder if they actually need that much? Anyway I have no clever ideas sorry. Your cheapest option is probably going to be an 8-way mains strip and individual 24 V adapters.

Thanks for your responses. I'd have to import LaVoce speakers which would be quite expensive. However, another option has opened up for me. I've been offered locally 4 Eminence Basslite CH2010 Neos with hemp cones. They're no longer listed on the Eminence website so they could be quite old stock. They appear similar to the LaVoce NBASS 10-20s and the Eminence Basslite S2010 but with a higher resonance and a stiffer suspension which might be safer for the low strings on the double bass. Has anyone any thoughts?

I sleep to dream - H2O

An addition to my previous list. + the accurate adjustments enable cutting the room boom Yesterday I was playing a gig in a wooden house which was amazingly boomy. My first thought was that soundwise this will be a nightmare. I had adjusted the PTEQ to fit our rehearsal room. Ha! I took the middle adjustment to make an educated guess of the boom freq: adjusted a slight notch (6-9 dB or so), Q in the middle and turned the f back and forth. There! Now everything else was functional again and the gig was a success. I added a Stompshield to the overall level pot. It will not move accidentally anymore.

Sure, and I agree with all of that, Bill. But would a 2 x 10" speaker set up ever make sense for a sub vs a 1 x 15"?
