You'd be the only bloomin' one..!

You are Dr Who and I claim my £5. ...

[Sigh..!] Such a pity; it could have been soooooo nice. ...

Have you tried just playing along to it..? It's not hard, just two chords, and it's all about the salsa 'swing' and rhythm, which is best 'felt' rather than written out. An intro (optional...), a first riff then halfway through a second riff, and that's it. On the video, you can see where on the neck the fellow is playing, so just listen to the notes around there and fit them in. Bloomin' good exercise in 'ear-wigging'; highly beneficial. Dancing on the spot optional, but recommended. Try it..?

To repair my road-side Thames 15cwt van breakdown, I took the London rush-hour tube with a six-foot long greasy, grubby, smelly prop-shaft in my hand, to get to a breaker's yard. No-one objected, and I had plenty of space all around me, both there and back. I don't think a bass would cause any issues.

A delightful window into the daily life of an extraordinary family. Very refreshing... https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000kycj/imagine-2020-this-house-is-full-of-music

Maybe the last time (I no longer have a Soundcloud account...), so make the most of it... Andy's offering...

Of interest, maybe... GearSpace : Red5 RV8 Recap..? Try contacting Red5 Audio, perhaps..? They could advise, or even repair it for you..? Their contact is ... Contact for Red5 Audio...

Some courage needed, but you could swap the 'duff' capsule for a working one from a similar mic; that'll show up which part isn't working. As has been stated, it's less often the capsule than the pre-amp, but that's the simple test, if you have an equivalent working mic. Worth a try..?

What mic is it..? With the quality of many current new mic's being so good, is the replacement justified..? If it's a quality mic from a Big Name, a replacement from the factory might be the best bet, but a new Superlux starts at £30. Not an option..?

Capiche. Thank you. It would appear that a change of amp is required; I can't recommend one, though (I'm a drummer...).

The simple 'work-around' would be to not touch the Master volume after the FOH levels have been set. Not so much different as turning up the bass volume after having the FOH set. Why would anyone want/need to do this, anyway, once the sound-check is over..? If turning it up affects the FOH, the sound person will presumably just turn it back down, no..?

Technical information from the Fender site for the Rumble 100 states (my bold...) ... ADDENDUM / TECHNICAL NOTE Due to ongoing supply issues, some units may be built with an alternate power supply and amplifier module. This will not change the audio performance of the product; however, these units require a 4-ohm speaker rather than the original 8-ohm specification. Should replacement of a speaker ever be required, qualified service personnel should note the impedance rating (8 ohms or 4 ohms) indicated on the speaker itself and use a replacement with the same impedance rating. Additionally, units built with the alternate power module include the added pre/post switch that lets the user set the XLR output to provide pre- (direct) or post-preamp/EQ signal. It would depend, then, on the exact model of your amp whether it has this feature or not.

You really know how to make friends here, don't you..!

Certainly; shades of 'What goes on in Fight Club stays in Fight Club'.

You might prefer to keep a little mystique, no..?

S'been a long time since I last saw printed price tags.

Probably less expensive than printing labels, over time. The smart-phone labels need printing, too. If small superettes use LCD, I presume it's not too onerous (I could be wrong...). There are dozens of formats, for the display of most item prices, whatever the commerce.

This is done using LCD labels, updated from a hand-held controller. No need for printing, these days.

Welcome to my World.

Can you not start rehearsals at 7 instead..? Or have the others rehearse without you for the first hour (BV, for instance, or segue ideas..?). Just a thought.

The drummer's no slouch, either.

I'm a drummer; my move to an e-kit was a really smart choice, a couple of years ago now. The Thomann 'MPS Millennium 850' is a ridiculous bargain, and plays very much like an acoustic kit (unless you want brushes...). Mine is coupled to a laptop, running Superior Drummer 3, but even the built-in kits sound great. To be able to play almost any style, change drums and cymbals easily, mix any elements into a manageable sound, and record it all with virtual mics, is a game-changer. I've no regrets (although I still have the acoustic option if I so desire...). Just sayin'.
