That's very kind, thank you. No pressure at all, I still use the Noble I bought from you, jut interested in a comparison. Might be nice to shrink the pedal board down, and save a few pounds, but I'm not in a rush.

Here we have my DBX DriveRack PX professional loudspeaker management processor with matching DBX reference microphone for sale. I am the second owner, and this has lived in a flightcase all its life alongside my mixing console. Condition is used, although the reference mic was new this year (2025) has never been used in anger. A great tool for those of us who mix live sound from stage side whilst playing. I’m only selling as I have now upgraded my bass bins to a matching pair to my tops so will be using the internal crossovers to cut down on the weight of gear I shlep to gigs. Because I am inherently lazy, I asked ChatGPT to describe the functionality and this is what it came up with, which sounds accurate to me based on my experience. “The DBX DriveRack PX is a professional loudspeaker management system that optimises live sound systems. It combines automatic room tuning, crossover control, EQ, dynamics, and feedback suppression in one rack-mount unit. Using the included DBXRTA-M measurement microphone, you can run auto-EQ and real-time analysis to tailor your speakers and subs for smooth, balanced frequency response in any venue. Other key features include configurable crossovers, delay alignment, compression/limiting, and feedback elimination, making it ideal for PA systems, bands, DJs, and event sound setups.” I’m looking for £300 for the DriveRack and reference mic, or £250 for the DriveRack and £50 for the microphone. Collection from Killingworth Newcastle upon Tyne, or delivery at the buyers cost and risk. Any questions, please ask! -
Had this delivered from Bass Direct today. Very happy so far. It's the first Spector I've tried, but from listening online I thought I'd like it and it's exactly what I hoped it would be. To my ears, it sounds huge compared to my other two basses (Andertons Eastcoast PJ, which I actually really like, and a Sire M6 that is going back), the pickups seem to have loads of clarity. I'd like a little higher string tension but I'll likely put some flats or half rounds on it, no rush though. Maybe the IMA super polished. The black plastic knob caps look a bit cheap compared to the rest of it IMO, so going to add some gold ones It has a little bit of neck dive, not terrible but I might try weighting the bridge end of the strap Then I'm going to 3D print a finger ramp to go between the two pickups It doesn't have a passive mode and I didn't realise that it doesn't appear to have a battery access door...removing screws to get to the battery isn't my favourite. But for how it sounds and plays, whatever, it's not going back.

From a pure technical point of view you'll learn more from the classical pieces than the "pop" ones especially at this grade (next ones have harder "pop" tunes). Furthermore, the classical pieces will help you more for the next grade from the pianistic technique point if view Pick up at least one classical, the Mozart's Allegro in F, for instance, is really interesting for your technique and it's in 3/8. The 3 pieces you've chosen are the easiest to play and won't make you a better player, technically speaking, which is very important for the future. For your further musical education, you should choose two harder to play classical pieces (the Bartók's Allegretto isn't that complicated) and one easy to play piece (The Tarantella Twist, which is reminiscent to Beethoven), not the opposite or only easy to play tunes... You'll thank me at next grade(s). 😉

It's filed in the same drawer as rack straying over the sides of the cab underneath. A drawer that must not be opened!!

I'm not averse to a charity gig, for a charity with which I have sympathy. If I agree to do it, I'm not interested in any other financial arrangements. I make the decision entirely based on my own parameters. If they're met, I'm ok with it. If expenses are offered (or a fee), it's a bonus.

I've carried out some testing of cabs loaded with different drivers. The results showed that two cabinets with a similar frequency response will usually work as a stack. They don't have to be fitted with same-size drivers; they just need to be close tonally.

Beautiful! -
They're struggling on but I've seen quite a few new Sportsters and Pan Europeans recently. Personally Id rather have Triumphs version of either of those. Harley, like American car manufacturers only build products for the American market and don't consider what the rest of the world wants

I'm really not trying to irritate you 😅 but all I can see on that graph it at 50% centre position, all frequencies are around 0db, with bass at 0% it cuts everything under 250hz by about 6db, treble at 0% as much as 13db. Highly asymmetrical, but it definitely doesn't seem flat at 0%, particularly in the highs, which I would have thought would be pretty noticeable on a Stingray pre?

Imagine it next to the Sabre in VBR 😉 -
So it's essentially a drive focussed multifx? Just wondering (other than XLR out) what it's offering over some of the more popular multifx's some of which have very usable drive patches? I guess, fingers crossed, it will be nailing the classic sansamp sound better than most!

I think a passive Ray ( with Flats ) is the way to go 😉🤔 Looks lush fella -

Thanks David, I'd like to take it please. Will PM you.. Cheers, Nik -
How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?
Dad3353 replied to nilorius's topic in General Discussion
Not all music is played to a metronome. It's like playing the accordion; just because one can, it doesn't mean that you have to. Most drum machines have systems to create a more 'human' feel, to avoid having the percussion too metronomic. Just sayin'. -
Trace Elliot GP11 circuit diagram anyone!!!

Hi All, Also looking for a MK1 GP11 schematic, much obliged if anyone could help out. Cheers Rae -
Take the curve to -6bB, which is a reference point when it comes to measurements, and tell me it's a cut and boost...

Drummers are a big problem, couse they play with or without metranoume. -
I've attended many of these "charity" events and, whilst I'm more than satisfied that the promoters haven't made money off of it and ticket prices/charity buckets are going to the charity, I'm 99.99% certain not a penny of the bar profits have, before even thinking about who is taking a wage on the night, and that's what I take huge issue with.

Is it good for metal?

I forgot to switch threads, Chris. I thought I had deleted it 😃
