Oh trust me, if I was being funny you'd know about it as I am hilarious. My point was that if you're sitting at home doing late night practice or whatever using IEMs then fine, do whatever sounds best to you. But if you were playing live and using IEMs then you might go to great lengths to get it to sound great to you in your IEMs, and in doing so ruin the sound that the audience hear through your amp or the pa or whatever.

Small sound/big sound mini I would maybe use *both* drive and cab sim. Not sure the best cab sim pedals mind, tc impulse if irs, or broughton high pass/ low pass if doing basic chopping thr ends off - the tonex mini thing might be cheapest smallest thing to give you a whole amp cab at end of chain? 🤷

I remember when I was a young punker in school (there were 3 of us!) all the other lads (cos girls weren't into music, obvs! 😁) had pristine denim jackets their mums had sewed assorted heavy rock band patches onto... And they'd confidently assert that Cozy Powell was the best drummer in the world, bar none. Needless to say, they'd never heard of Billy Cobham... -
Interesting. I had tendons replaced last year as well as the screws in my heel. Generally worked, but if I walked more than a mile or stand for too long the ankle becomes increasingly painful. Went back to see the consultant a few weeks back and he was suggesting fusing, but having seen the CT scan he could see that one of last year’s screws in the heel was out the other side of the bone so we went with “take the screws out of the heel” as that was quick and did not require lengthy recuperation. Hopefully that works and I don’t need to consider more. He can see arthritis in the joint but it’s not too bad. Maybe I should just accept I’m old and need to slow down and make allowances.

The DM610 is a large bookshelf/standmount speaker from renowned hi-fi brand B&W, featuring a well-braced 30-litre sealed cabinet with 8-inch mid-bass driver. The larger driver and extra cabinet space create a much better low end range than from most similar speakers. This model allows for either bi-wiring or bi-amplification. These speakers present clean tight bass response, surprisingly clear mids for such a large driver and the pleasant highs that the well-designed B&W tweeter at that time was famous for. They can be driven quite loud, enough for the physical effect of the bass to be felt without audible distortion or a sense of sound compression. Both speakers are in Very Good condition, especially for their vintage. All-original, complete with full grilles (one of which has a small hole, shown in the final photo). Only £125. Collection from Bournemouth BH6 preferred. Here comes the science bit… Type: 2-way closed, shelf speaker Colour: Ash black veneer Dimensions: 490 x 236 x 303 mm (H x W x D) Weight: 7.8 kg Recommended amplifier power: 30-150 W Frequency response: 70 - 20,000 Hz (±2 dB) Crossover: 2500 Impedance: 4 Ohm -
Thanks, Mokl. I was running two as a vertical stack – best live sound I've ever had! -

I have had one of these for nearly 30 years. I would not be without it. When it eventually breaks I will buy another. Unless I go first. Mine is a Ruxxac. -
Basschat 203.2mm Cab Design just sounds soooo wrong! I'm bilingual, not only can I work in Metric and Imperial, but I can visualise both as well. Imperial is really convenient when you need things in different sizes with good proportions and need to allocate dimensions into convenient subdivisions. Metric has it's preferred sizes, which can be OK for proportion, but are a nightmare if you are adding different sizes and trying to get to a convenient overall dimension.

Yep, I went to their “factory” unit in Knutsford in Cheshire many years back. Interesting visit, not a big outfit at all, much like Ashdown in Essex, another surprisingly small facility, although Ashdown are looking to expand into surrounding factory units last I heard. Our old bass player used Ohm for years via an Aria ZZ bass, decent sound I seem to remember, although it was 40yrs ago.

Different EQ for flats and rounds?
Godfather20010 replied to bassbiscuits's topic in General Discussion
Not a daft question at all, it’s very common. Flats are darker and mid focused by nature, so using your roundwound EQ just makes them sound muffled. Try boosting mids around 500 Hz, adding a touch of low mids for warmth, and ease off the treble. A bit of valve overdrive or compression often helps bring them to life too. What amp are you running them through? -
The 5.5mm is Xmax not Xlim. The first is the excursion while staying in the magnetic gap (ie controlled and low distortion), and the second is the excursion to the point of damage. Your speaker cone is capable of moving way beyond Xmax. David

I hope it works. I saw a podiatricians and physiotherapists about my left ankle. It's much larger than normal due to extra bone around multiple breaks, and loss of cartilage, so I get bone on bone if my knee goes forward. But to get to the point, the best two things they told me were "we're used to stopping when things hurt so we don't make things worse. Fir this you need to do the opposite, the more it hurts, the more you're keeping mobility and building muscle around the joint" and in more carefully guarded words "A specialist will recommend fusing the joint, don't let them as you will lose so much mobilty which will be really bad long term". They did say that if a specialist offers to clean bone fragments out of the joint, that would be a good thing. TL;DR if offered fusion of the ankle, think very carefully as it could stop you doing a lot of things.

All's well than ends... Enjoy your CQ - it's a great piece of kit! We've been using our CQ18T for almost exactly a year now and my singer reminded me last night how much more clearly she was able to hear herself at the same Xmas party gig we did a year back, after upgrading from our Soundcraft MTK 12, which I put down to the better preamps and being able to tailor individual IEM feeds for everyone.

As stated before, try Ernie ball cobalt flats, expensive but you almost get the best of both worlds -
Hi all, Here we have my Yamaha DBR10 powered PA speaker/monitor. Bought new in July/ August 2024 and used on less than 10 gigs. Still have the manuals somewhere too! Selling as I'm going back to using cabs, as light as convenient as this has been! I'm Here's the blurb from Yamaha; The DBR10 Active PA speaker features the same Yamaha state-of-the-art DSP technology inherited from its predecessors, ensuring superior performance and versatility, and safe, consistent operation. The DBR10 can project deep bass, clear midrange and accurate high frequencies to the outer-most edges of a very wide coverage area and can boast 700W of power. The design incorporates an optimised 50° wedge angle for floor monitoring use and is also, for its size, the most portable powered speaker currently offered by Yamaha. Max Power700W Maximum SPL129dB Frequency range55Hz ~ 20kHz LF10" cone HF1" diaphragm CoverageH90 x V60 Weight 10.5Kg Condition wise there are some scuffs on the plastic where it's been on the floor as a monitor, but the grille etc is unmarked. Also, it's not really been pushed at all and I've used the built in 70hz HPF at all times. Don't have the ability to post this, but will meet up anywhere really within reason. I'm based in Moreton in Marsh on the Oxfordshire/Gloucestershire/Warwickshire border. Any questions, feel free to ask! -
This is a high quality padded fender pedalboard bag. It will either fit a suitably sized board inside or alternatively, the top can be folded under and the bag used as a pedalboard itself due to the Velcro lining. It has shoulder strap attachments, but I don’t have the strap. Internal dimensions are roughly 53cm x 22cm x 7cm but any questions, please give me a shout. £35 delivered within the UK -
Thought it could be interesting to get a feel for what fx pedals the BC collective are regularly using live that give us our signature sounds with our bands. If there's a particular pedal that is the heart of your sound and you couldn't manage without do let us know. If you have any clips of you making use of particular fx live, even better - please feel free to share! Feel free to tick more than one fx category if you're using regularly i.e. at some point on every gig (I'd just suggest omitting anything that only gets sporadic / occasional use).

I bought this recently for a possible project, but can't be bothered building the Tele that I had in mind. Do, if anyone wants this, the knockdown price includes delivery within the UK.
