Many thanks for the useful replies to the previous posting. I managed to get a jack socket for my dead SRF700. I have given it to my local repair man and it seems that it may need a full preamp replacement. Whilst it does work now it crackles louder than the sound signal. Does anyone know where I can get one. Most of the sites I have been to don't stock them. I guess I'm looking for one of these or even the whole wiring loom. Or even if there is something I can replace it with. 😥

All I need is the exact internal dimensions, preferable as a top view cutaway.

Aren't they just inversions of each other?

Thanks @neepheid, I’ll try that.

If this decal is the serial number then it's 0471159.

We use Powered PA cabs for monitors (for those that dont use IEM) and I hate it. Drummer has a 1x15 right by his kit, and his mic not only picks the drums up, but the monitor as well. He is very old school and won't change. Its like they want to be professional and want good monitors, but have no clue that this is overkill for our gigs and effects the sound for the audience. I now insist we sound check with all mic's active and try and balance it all out front. On smaller gigs we might as well not even take a PA. In fact the monitors have the same power as our FOH. I guess this counts as having a back up if nothing else.

Or if you want a bit of a challenge, when 15 strings isn't enough:

We dropped it because the singer felt he couldn't nail the phrasing. In my view, when it's like that, it means it's improvisational and the singer can do what he bloody well likes... it's what I do with basslines full of random noodles!

My Boss LMB-3 has died on me! It’ll only come on if sideways force is applied to the power supply lead. It goes off as soon as this force is taken off. Anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do? Thanks

Various Postmortem Jukebox type songs. No point learning the originals as the covers are usually different chords. Am6 instead of Dm, really? 🙄

Don’t give me an excuse! Fortunately, my wallet is a bit empty at the moment. I could always put my BF Two10 alongside switched to 12 ohm. My U700 could handle that (approx 2.67 ohms) but nearly all the power would go to the Monzas, or feed the DI out from the U700 to the LMIII and have both sets of speakers running at 4 ohms. Hmmm

I didn’t know they sounded different as I went straight for the Pro, cheers

Absolutely, I am sure I will come across one at some point. Sadly, Norfolk is a little far away despite visiting the Lotus factory a few times and my daughter racing at Ellough Park once a year.

Shameless plug Personally the Boss Katana Go is better than either. The MP2 sounds better than the Pro to me but the volume control only being in the app made me get the Pro. The pro slowly removed any joy out of playing bass, it doesn’t sound bad, like not that you go oh I hate this, but you find you don’t enjoy playing much with it took me a few months to realise what the problem was. I didn’t have this with the MP2 but as above and even though I’m selling one, Boss Katana Go is much better and the Darkglass Element is better still but faffier to just noodle when you feel like it.

So this just arrived from the lovely folk over at Anderton’s. I’ve been sans compression on my board for a while since convincing myself I didn’t need it and selling my Spectracomp, but I recently came to the confusion this was a mistake. As much as I loved the Soectracomp, the requirement to engage with software to tweak the parameters made me shy away from a like-for-like replacement, and both the Empress and the Cali 76 were identified as possible candidates. After a late night YouTube session I settled on the Empress. Looking forward to getting to know this over the weekend and then all being well, gig it next weekend.
