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?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/317051865718 5-string Shine bass (the title says). That'll be according to AI then.

I'm sure he's a lovely guy in real life, but his YouTube persona and especially his voice is very grating!

Is there any updated firmware for the B2 Four?

Reviving an East German Mandolin
bass_dinger replied to Mediocre Polymath's topic in Other Instruments
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

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?

I have a fully carved Eastman Strings bass. A VB200 with violin corners and a single Yamahiko pickup. It was very well set-up by Neal Hepplestone with spiro weichs on it, and it sounds absolutely luscious. It sounds like a bass 5 times what I paid for it and the action is like butter. It has a lovely dark thump to it and plenty of sustain for jazz. But it's not particularly loud compared with my plywood slapper. It's not really viable unamplified at anything beyond a small acoustic set. But give it a few watts of amp and it's incredible.

Ive seen the videos that call out the guitarist. Well done Danny for all the research needed and exposing him.

Crikey I watched 38 seconds and that must be one of the worst things I’ve seen.

No I just got the single version in the neat little box. I think the double version was £20 more but it doesn't have the robust box.

If you call this a cut and boost, then you've never seen the response of a cut and boost...
