  1. The inuke actually only puts out about 200w a side. I measured the voltage when I had one. 28v flat out. The Peavey IPR 1600 is seriously good. http://www.peavey.com/products/proaudio/poweramps/ipr/index.cfm/item/116949/IPR%26trade%3B%26nbsp%3B1600.html Or the IPR3000 if you want more power.
  2. We have a sound limiter clause in our contract but still turn up and find one installed that the venue failed to mention.
  3. Played at a place once where the bingo caller was tripping the noise limiters. This was about 15 years ago and the've still got it.
  4. We were the test band for a new sound limiter in a pub that we played in once. On being told that one was being fitted and tested on the night that we were to play the gig we said forget the gig, we don't play with them on but were talked into it. Not only was it set to 85db, but the power could only be reset from behind the bar, no switching on again after a preset time. Another gig we played had a mic installed actually in the stage and the power switched off as you walked across it. We were told, no one plugs into those sockets, use the one over there. So we did other wise we'd of been off home.
  5. Those 200w are music power watts. RMS watts are 100w into 4 ohms and 70w into 8ohms.
  6. Had a a pair of T60 cabs, similar size but a 15" and a 12" in each. The speakers had been changed by a previous owner to cheap EVs, Stage Sound if I remember correctly and with a Roost 100w valve head they sounded incredible especially with the 4001 I had at the time. The roost developed a fault so I used a GK200w head instead but it lost the immense sound with the GK, just sounded flat and lifeless which bought on a severe case of GAS. The new owner of the cabs was equally impressed with them though. I did get the Roost back eventually but that went as well. I've always regretted that.
  7. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't see those leds lighting with 10K resistors. 470 ohm would be my choice of resistor.
  8. Switching transmitters on and off only takes a second and is not really any hassle.
  9. I use the G30 and use multiple transmitters. As long as only the bass you're using has its transmitter switched on there is no problem as its one transmitter to one receiver. If you forget to switch the transmitter off when you change basses then you'll get nothing which is a bit confusing for a few seconds. The same with all wireless systems on the same frequency IME.
  10. I bought a brand new one from a well known seller and had the same problem, totally dead. I sent it back with no problems.
  11. I have to admit that I'm using elastic bands at the moment.
  12. I did consider the Stageclix before I bought the g30 and while it ticked all the boxes the thing that put me off was that the receiver is also the charger for the transmitter and my receiver is permanently mounted on my pedal board and only appears at gigs. This meant that I could only charge the transmitter when the pedal board was on stage and plugged in to the mains. Not an ideal situation for me.

We don't play them all every gig obviously.
  14. They're right, if it's an injury at work then 'work' is responsible. See the doc and get a diagnosis but if it is tennis elbow it will just get better on its own. You could also be offered the injection in the elbow, now that's something to look forward too. Good luck.
  15. They're the same a Schallers and they're easy to convert. Once you've taken one apart you see what I mean. Pain in the bum having to do it though. If we stopped being wrong handed then we'd be the same as every one else and not special anymore.
  16. I use one of those myself, great mixer. How many channels are you going to use as standard? If there are enough spare channels try what the guitarist wants and just plug his leads into the mic channels and turn the channel gains down 'til you're not overloading the channel, check it with the PFL button and if the guitar signal is still overloading the input with the gain right down you'll have to use the line inputs which means jacks. If you're not overloading the channel then you're not hurting it. Keyboards into the stereo channels with jacks is no problem. I feed a, ipod and minidisc player through mine. D.I. boxes etc, try them in the mic channels, they should be OK but again if they overload the mic channel with the gain right down just use the line input. You have to be a bit careful with the compressors as well or you'll get feedback although it quickly comes on and then just as quickly disappears. Hope this helps and good luck.
  17. They all noticed. The sudden lack of bass, me rushing across the stage to pick it back up, plugging it back in again and trying to fix it back on the strap, failing and just sticking it in my pocket. At least we all laughed about it, including the audience, I did feel foolish.
  18. Only an idea but you could just do a normal gig but advertise it as for charity and have volunteers going round with buckets collecting and you could donate some or all of your wages if you felt the need.
  19. I knew that the Sound City tone controls were active which is why they sound rubbish, had a couple and never could get a good sound. Is that why SS amps don't sound that good either? Thanks for the link but it's not Apple friendly.
  20. Had mine attached to the strap with the supplied clip and when I spun round it flew across the stage and my bass went strangely quiet.
  21. I've always been told that valve amps have passive tone controls so a flat response would be with all the controls on 10, oh all right 11 then, but I doubt that that would be a flat response either but I would have thought that flat out eq would be closer to flat than half way.
  22. Not sure about the physical media thing anymore. Played loads of places where demos are just piled up on shelves and never played. A few times we've even been asked to listen to some of them and give our opinions. A lot of promoters / agents have spam filters on their computers which don't allow the good stuff through. Not very positive I know but if the negatives are known then whats left is the way to go.
  23. Been there and suffered that, don't 'alf hurt, I just carried on but didn't move my left arm as much when playing and definitely no windmills. It got better after a few months thankfully.
