I'd rather do it with someone else's skin.

SGFX have made the EQ circuit into a boost and low gain od im thinking of ordering a bass specific version - not sure yet but Greg has said he’s keen

I had a Monaco and swapped it for a ......Monza. It's hard to compare many makes but compared to Barefaced, you have a number of BF ranges to compare to. Some are coloured, some not, some are full range but IMHO none sound as good as the LFSys cabs. While both Barefaced and @stevie have now a few years making and designing bass cabinets, the important thing is that @stevie has spent decades designing crossovers. He tunes that cabs both by measurement and by ear, then gets the designs road tested before release. AS for high end 112s, Vanderkley seem to have disappeared, and I have covered Barefaced above. You do not say where you are based but try one if you can. Your ears and bass will love you.

I’m afraid you were an hour behind on my feed. You best return those winnings!

Indeed, deionised water can be used as an insulator; But, if you were to touch something tht was "Live", would you rather do it with a dry bit of skin, or a wet bit of skin?

Pretty sure it's safe on a pub gig with you in the room all the time, likewise on tour where you travel with it.. It's putting it on an aeroplane or otherwise entrusting it to a third party where things might unravel, especially if there's a change of flight an route. Get it played, man!

Of course it would, but not sure why that is relevant to the battery voltage? You aren't trying to establish the voltage the preamp needs, I assumed people are trying to put a lot of effort into measuring a battery

Oh, I do….. I do, I do, I do, I do, I do.

Sire have actually come up with the solution to that themselves.

Well, this isn't what I'd hoped for when I started the thread! 😅 I've just seen some amazing circus acts!

Original Sin - INXS

Perhaps they aren't quite as incompetent as all that and have refunded the insufficient postage?

I'm a big fan of Doug Wimbish and Living Colour. Bit before my time, but I remember hearing Cult of Personality on Napster and loving it and then when I was 20 seeing Wimbish doing that performance on his DVD on YouTube completely blew me a way. Saw lots of polar opinions about the sound on this tiny desk performance but I loved the separation, hearing Vernon reads guitar and dougs bass tone coming through.

Perhaps, but I was quicker hitting Send

Guilty - Barbra Streisand ft. Barry Gibb

Too slow. Winner takes it all

Most of the basses I take to gigs are irreplaceable. I just try not to treat them like Fenders.

But think of the money, money, money. Damn, beaten to it. SOS - I need an ABBA pun quickly.

As I said on page 1, a DVM has a very high impedance and so you'll finish up with a potential divider between the preamp and the DVM. The lower the drain current of the preamp, the higher its effective resistance so the lower the DVM will read for the same battery voltage. If it has reverse voltage protection, that would just be a diode, so drops 0.6V as it would be forward biased. And that 0.6V would be lost to the preamp anyway IYSWIM.
