I’d ask John east himself - he is a member here

Hi. Thank you all for your inputs. @stevie I tried bypassing the low filter straight to drivers but still clipping. @Bill Fitzmaurice I did use the WinISD program so probably this is where the fault lies. I have attached a diagram of my cabinet measurements. One thing I didn't build into the cab was a dividing shelf between the 2 drivers! Could this be my problem?. Thanks

Oh, well played! 👏👏👏 Blanketweed On The Ground - Billie Jo Spears

If you have a multimeter, you could check to see if there's still a current drain when the jack plug is disconnected. Just unclip one side of the battery and connect the multimeter, on a low current range, between battery and clip.

Hah, just realised this is my venue Riff Factory! I love your set mate, great band!

One is from up north. One is from across the pond. It's probably that simple.

Yeah it’s got a definite “stable” vibe on that pic! I’ve only been there for the guitar Christmas shows but yeah maybe it doubles up as a gazebo in the summer….

Demn you, @Leonard Smalls! I'm too poor to read your posts!

I'd class that as easy listening proggyjazzrock, with a relatively straightahead rock groove! Here's a bass player who's just as good as La Dey but doesn't do dodgy ads for toxic slushies, and goes off-piste a bit more! One of my fave albums, btw... And in slightly less easy-listening news here's another bass player who despite often venturing quite well off-piste still manages to groove. And no influencer nonsense, though he had the "pleasure" of producing (arguably) John Lydon's best work... Waddya reckon, Sapko? 😁

Excellent work, good luck!

I am not sure that the clash is about how they play bass. It seems to me they can both play well and will appeal to different audiences. For me it’s more of a cultural clash between being a blinged up, revenue driven persona and a more down to earth, less sell your soul kind of ethos.

You can do anodising in the garage , it is affected by cold weather but you need to heat the solutions up anyway, you do have high current and the chemicals aren't fantastic, TBH they aren't very good at all,, but decent space, power, fresh air, respirator and slightly loose lids on containers make it potentially doable outside in the garage. Not that I'm looking to try it (yet). Painting with these special tough paints, especially with a roller, seems less desirable. I have to confess to using some paints and stuff sometime ago that stank to high heaven, and for some reason t'CFO isn't keen to repeat the exercise. I have no sense of smell (lost it 2014) so I have no issues which is part of the problem, she can smell it and I can't. Rob

Wikipedia has an exhaustive article on 9v batteries ... Wikipedia : 9v Batteries ... ... in which we learn that alcaline PP3's have much longer life (ma/h...) compared to NiMH. Lithium can last much longer yet, but will cost ten times more per battery. I would suggest that you invest in a battery tester, and test your alcalines before playing, so as not to change before it's necessary, and to include the cost of battery replacement as an inevitable cost of playing. Lithium batteries of the right type will mean changing less often, but at a much higher price. Your call, of course... Hope this helps.

I'd contact them, as new batteries every 8 weeks seems wrong to me.

She sounded great on the video and had chops that I couldn't possibly play, but, the thing that filled me with a bit of hope is that they were all very pentatonic within the 1/5/octave box (even the slapping), showing that if put under pressure even the great players resort to something that is a bit more recognisable. Staying on topic - Danny was on exactly the same show (link posted a few pages back) and did a pretty good job albeit on a far simpler track, which in my view had more of a groove, emphasising again that we have two people from very different spectrums of the bass community here - possibly as far apart as you can get - and maybe hence the entertaining clash.

Just all round easy peasy. And exquisite packing.

Space heater should do the trick. I used Tuffcab on some big band music stands this timelast year and used a hot air gun and fan heater to help the drying process. Just beware that the paint may remain soft under the outer skin for several days. Somerset also has similar conditions ATM. Hope it goes well
