Maybe I should haver applied Hanlon's Razor before I posted previously, but it seems whatever system is in place to ensure that a parcel has a fighting chance to reach its intended destination before being disposed of and profited from is clearly broken.

But as the sockets are NL4 and the plugs are NL4 something isn't right. I understand the theory but reality has entered the room.

Unless you have a speakon/jack socket in which case the 4-pole will physically fit and make contact with +1 & -1. David

probably.. i like the way it sounds. need to play around with it more tbh

I've lusted after an 80s Aria Pro II for years and years, ever since seeing that Day on the Green live clip which got me into the bass in the first place! However it feels a bit rich paying the big bucks for one. Something more affordable would be right up my alley, even a decent used alternative with a few mods thrown on it.

At least he didn’t call him “captain”…

Putting on the Ritz - Fred Astaire et al.....

"NL2 Speakon cables (2-pole) are compatible with both NL2 and NL4 panel jacks, while NL4 cables (4-pole) only fit NL4 jacks, creating a one-way compatibility. A 2-pole plug works in a 4-pole socket because it uses the 1+ and 1- contacts, but a 4-pole plug is physically too large for a 2-pole socket."

Just watched the video. That deer eerily reminds me of Hartley Hare...

Thanks all for your comments .. I’ll certainly give it some more thought & read up on Thiele/Small parameters etc

I doubt BotGazz uses a phone keyboard with auto correct that changes a misspelling of "tube" to "time".

Hooky has two with The Light, usually his son Jack on the second bass (with a couple of regular stand-ins for when Jack is off smashing pumpkins, including The Coral's excellent Paul Duffy). They'll trade off between taking high or low bits across the set, huge sound.

Yes. I use an Ischell mic with phantom mixed in with a Yamahiko piezo pickup on my jazz bass. It's great. The mic preamp is nice and quiet too. It's pretty thirsty on power with 48v phantom switched on, so you'll need a decent PSU.

Stop! - Sam Brown

Its a tough one with equalisers versus notch filters as the latter tends to have a very narrow filter. A standard EQ can sometimes carve away too many adjacent frequencies when endeavouring to create the same amount of attenuation that a notch filter typically does to surgically deal with troublesome frequencies. The EBS' Stanley Clark and MB preamps do have a notch filter, the Bergantino Super Pre uses 'anti-feedback' processing which is useful for acoustic instrumnets struggling with howling and feedback. Another notch filter of sorts, but of the dynamic EQ variety.

Bit too much colour on that Jam pedal though...

Good lord, how did I forget Andy. I think he may be a bit of a busy bee - I've not seen him for a while. Good call, thank you.

small but mighty!

It was intense.

Curve were a fantastic band. I wished I'd seen them live.
