Never suggested for a moment expert opinion is a bad thing Nor do I agree with the suggestion that we can ever have enough of experts. It is simply that the competition to be 'best expert' on this and other subjects here on Basschat is poor entertainment, not particularly helpful to those hoping to learn anything and often resembles a handful of crusty academics flicking soup at one another.
Oh God, the flood gates will open, fur will fly. The experts and Anti Behringer mob will be lighting torches and waving pitchforks as soon as they read this
Hard to say how they come to their wattage figures, the older stuff was more conservatively rated.
I had a 1k cab but that was 4 x 250 speakers so very easy to believe
Not specifically, however I still gig a bugera 15" speaker I bought a very long time ago (around 15 years) and despite some years stored in a garage (dusty in summer damp in winter) it sounds great and has never missed a beat.
Claims 600w and I've never had cause to doubt that either.
Got mine from Andertons too. Its so useful. Different outputs and scenes, and a scan allowing you to see what channels are getting clogged so you can switch. Battery consumption is great and I run my receiver off a power bank so one less socket, plug and cable.
I used to bemoan the time consumed either side of a gig. But then I was married, had other demands on that time.
Now gigging is what I do, I love every part of it, even sorting and cleaning cables midweek.
I have recently come into possession of a Mini Q Tron.
I have one question. How big is a regular Q Tron?
If this is the Mini I dread to think. I could attach a leg at each corner and use it as a dining table.
I tried so hard to be last here and still I got here first I cannot beat this band for tardiness, so my gig prep involves lying in a hotel room typing this.
It's one of the things changing for me over the years. My mistake was using a g*******t as a tech for years instead of learning to do it myself.
Now I'm happier with a little bit of air under my strings. See also flatwounds and rolling off the extreme bottom end of the eq.
@Monkey Steve - What a tale! And yet again we see the people with the lowest level of C-gene (love that btw) come out best in the long run. Which is exactly why I started this thread, so that those being unfairly treated by C-geners can see that actually all of it may well be for the best in the long run. Thank you.
