    You should have given it a full minute. It gets much better.

    Thanks. There is a lot of glue in the channel, but I don't know if it's actually gluing anything to anything – I can't imagine titebond does much for carbon fibre. The rod is primarily held in place by being smushed between the neck and the fingerboard.

    I wanted it specifically for this tour, as it is what was used on the show in the west end and I loved the sound of it!

    I didn't see this thread either until now 😎 Before January 1st I would've said the band should get the new songs recorded ASAP and released (as a 4 track EP) plus get started on the next bunch of tunes. Also try to get more gigs outside Salisbury, we played 2 gigs where we couldn't see the spire last year and both went down better than some of our Salisbury gigs. Now after last week our new year's resolution is - find a new guitarist 🙄 One of the band's founding members left. The band first got together around 40 years ago (I joined 2022) so it was a lil' bit of a shock. I think it'll be a good thing once the dust settles but it just knocks you back a bit.

    Nice to see the Grape Phaser included in your setup 👍🏻

    If you change your mind about selling I would be interested. I’m not far from you either.

    Made some noise tonight with my first proper bandmates from 40+ years ago. We have been getting together every few months since lockdown just to make some noise and play through the songs from back then but haven’t managed to do so in over 6 months so there were quite a few senior moments. Took the Darkglass Anagram, Barefaced BB2 and Baby Sumo plus Frankenjazz, Hard Puncher and Status S2 along with my regular amps as backup as the Baby Sumo had played up previously but tonight it was fine. Much fun and noise made for few hours. We might not have played for a while but we worked together long enough all those years ago and are still damn tight when we remember the songs structure (knowing nods help). Always good together and blast through some chins, maybe a little slower than in the 70’s.

    Just finished soldering the last few cables for this board for a new tour that starts in Feb. Signal chain is: Instruments > Quad Cortex MC3 handles instrument switching and muting. Grape is in one of the QC’s FX Loops. The Peterson is on the Send from the other FX Loop in monitor mode so it’s always active and gives visual feedback of instrument tuning/intonation at all times. All Ins/Outs are fed through the Mod: Ins: Upright Bass mic > Mod XLR in > QC Input 1 (XLR with Phantom power) Upright Bass piezo > Mod 1/4” > QC Input 2 (1/4” Jack) Electric Bass > Mod 1/4” > QC Return 1 Outs: QC XLR 1 (Electric Bass) > Mod XLR Out 1 QC XLR 2 (Upright) > Mod XLR Out 2 QC Output 4 (TRS) > Mod 1/4” (mix of all 3 signals (mic/piezo of upright and electric) to feed my Porter and Davies Gigster Power: Everything powered by a Cioks DC7, with the Crux powering the Quad Cortex. I bodged the drilling a little bit, but I installed one of these nifty Powercon In/Out units allowing me to daisy chain power from my board to the rack with the P&D Gigster in it. All jack plugs are Squareplugs

    If it isn't, I have one which is. Slightly different version, IIRC.

    Awesome skills! Can I ask, did you glue the carbon fibre rod into the routed channel?

    This is very much John's project and I haven't yet had a chance to listen to his system. Our thought was that at the price he paid the plate amp with a built in crossover was worth the price of the package. We had discussed just about every possibility including my developing a cab and John the amp from scratch and this was cheaper than the parts for the amp. When it turned up it was surprisingly well put together and sounded OK with the original Wharfedales. I did run models to look at using better quality 10's including Fane, Celestion, Beyma and Faital. Most of these gave no increase in output, mainly because they are only available in 8ohms. I did manage to find TS parameters for the fitted drive units as they were being sold as spares at the time. The 120db maximum output checks out as genuine. This compares with RCF/Yamaha and the like who all routinely quote only peak output which is 6db higher than the maximum continuous output they actually develop. The last conversation we had about this was to try the speakers and if they are short of output for John's needs to try some of the drive units I have as replacements. My feeling is that it's not something I would set out to do as a plan and there isn't a speaker for sale at sub £200 that would give you the extra 6db that a second sub would guarantee.

    Apologies if I'm missing something, but is this no showing levels above and below 0dB, i.e. cut and boost? Very limited cut as mentioned, but still not flat fully turned down?

    Is there any updated firmware for the B2 Four?

    It's like sending one's children to Finishing School in Switzerland. One is surprised to see that they had such potential, but delighted to see that they have been smartened up and made presentable. Well done @Mediocre Polymath.

    I'm winding everything back now and having a clearcut of all the stuff I'm unlikely to ever use again. I'm open to sensible offers for any of these - the £900 shown in the listing is for the whole lot, collected. Prices include postage to UK addresses apart from the Take 5 - please PM to discuss collection or delivery options for that. Given that this is a clearout, I'm not really looking for swaps but feel free to let me know if you have anything - to be honest, it's unlikely but you never know! Sequential Take 5 analogue synth - immaculate condition, boxed, upgraded to the latest firmware and patches £750 Zoom R12 portable multitrack recorder - bought to record the band at rehearsal and only used once before the band imploded. Boxed, immaculate £150 Roland VT4 voice transformer - bought when I entertained fantasies of singing backing vox. Again, used just the once and then retired along with the rest of my dreams. £125 UNO drum machine - a great little drum machine, fantastic for giving us a basic beat whenever the drummer failed to make rehearsals. Light usage, boxed and immaculate condition £100 Waldorf Streichfett string synth - surprisingly versatile little synth that does a great job of recreating the sound of 70s string synths. Immaculate, boxed £150 Thanks for looking - if you have any questions or would like photographs, please PM

    So - it's Steve Martin's favourite bass?!
  31. Boodang
    The mxr bass synth is finally on the board. The chameleon preset is so good I'm just going to leave it there. Something I have found, is that the phasor gives the synth sound a different twist with an extra vowel like quality.

    It couldn't be a left and right XLR feed (FOH) from your desk to the 2 sockets could it?
