I assume that he means the case has sat under the bed for 50 years, not the bass itself.

Sugar is a free optional extra. Milk comes as standard, no milk is £200 extra. Well, if Fodera can do it for not putting frets in...

The difference between a DI box and the amp DI output?
tauzero replied to ossyrocks's topic in Amps and Cabs
The difference with speaker and headphone feeds to line-level or mic-level feeds is that induced interference is relatively much, much smaller relative to the signal, and the input impedance to a speaker or headphones is considerably lower. Line level is around 2V p-p, mic level is 200-300mV p-p, while 5W being sent to an 8 ohm speaker is around 24V p-p. -
Connecting my Midi piano to Cubase on my PC
tauzero replied to bass_dinger's topic in Other Instruments
I've got the UMC204HD which is fine - I did think it had gone horribly wrong at one point when it went very noisy and crackly. The USB connections were rather inaccessible, when I finally unplugged it and plugged it in again it was fine. -
NGD — but the gigbag is a bit whiffy
tauzero replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
Drying it is easy enough if you have a warm house. And there's always potential for blackmail if someone appears to have strange fetishes, like showering with a gig bag. Although if there's not a webcam in the bathroom, that should be safe. -
Well, the jazz control plate is so they can get it dead cheap from AliExpress. They've made a hash of routing the cavity though, maybe the scratchplate is also an AliExpress cheapie. I did wonder why they'd put a scratchplate on at all, but of course with swappable modular preamps you need something like that.

tauzero replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
Or put it in the bath, or take a shower with it. I'm sure nobody would ever consider that a subject for blackmail. -
Why not order one now? https://www.sims.guitars/enfield-guitars/lionheart

And this is why a valve Trace amp into an open circuit speaker will be infinitely loud. So loud that it will drive your ears into instant shutdown so you won't actually hear anything.

Oh good, an illiterate troll.

Very light - more on it at some point in the near future when I've gigged it for the first time. I wasn't able to get Mrs Zero to tell me that if I didn't buy it she'd kill me, so coercion was off the table.

And here we are, squeezed into the last remaining space in the garage...

Put the pedal power strip on its back so the outlets are pointing up and put it across the top, and use a smaller power pack - I got this because of the immense current drain, you've only got normal pedals.

I'd have nicked spyder's but he's taken them down. I'll get some tomorrow.

Bought a GRBass AT212 cab from Marc. He kindly drove up to Bridgwater Services to meet up for the traditional BC transfer of gear in a car park. All very painless. Thanks Marc.

I've been considering going back to separate amp and cab for a little while - I already have the amp, a Tecamp Puma 900, and fancied one of GRBass's AT carbon fibre speakers, having already got the AT800 combo. So when @spyder put his AT212 up for sale, I didn't hesitate for too long before taking it off his hands (taking advantage of his offer to meet up at Bridgwater Services). I haven't yet powered it up, but specs are 700W, 4 ohm, and GRBass say it's 11.7kg which I can quite believe. Three way adjustable tweeter. It is 1.7kg over my 10kg limit for all items, but I can live with that.

It's a Pi 4 - https://geekfunklabs.com/products/squishbox/ When I've sorted another power lead out, I'm going to do an endurance test. If I can remember where I put my B3, I can connect that up too, because that's really fussy about isolated power.

Didn't even manage January. Still, I have a GRBass AT212 as compensation.

This is the power pack I used (going against my normal principles of not buying from Amazon, but brother-in-law always sends us an Amazon card for Christmas): https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CBM2N1P5

As @rwillett says, powered via USB-C. Although the higher current outlets are supposed to be 300mA apiece, I can run a HX Stomp off one and a Pi-based software synth off another, as long as the power pack gives enough output. I'd show a picture but I've mislaid my 2.1-2.6mm lead for the Stomp.
-
I've got one, seems OK so far. I got it with the intention of running it from a USB power pack and that works.

And it's done. Cat not included.

For full information on the BC 112 Mk3 cab, see I hope @stevie won't get too upset if I describe it as the ancestor of the LFSys Silverstone - not sure how far separated on the evolutionary scale they are though. It was assembled from a flat-pack kit supplied by stevie, including the crossover. I completed this late in 2023, after a couple of hiatuses (hiati?). The finish is TuffCab. I have used it for a couple of gigs with a Tecamp Puma 900 and it has acquitted itself well. Note: I haven't fastened the front grille badge on, it will be included. I don't have an appropriate scale to hand but it weighs somewhere around 15kg. Dimensions are 570 x 417 x 315mm (22.4" x 16.4" x 12.4"). The Speakon sockets on the rear are speakon only, not combi speakon-jack. This includes a Roqsolid cover. I don't want to post it - don't mind driving some distance to meet up. Looking for £350. And a gratuitous cat photo. Look at those eyes. How can you resist buying this? (cat not included)- 3 replies
