I think this is key, no matter how good any of us are at playing consistently, I for one are crap at that, so a looper will take the variable out of the mix. Of course the size of @Phil Starr’s banner is limited so it would be hard to hide an Ampeg fridge stack. It is also difficult to compareFRFR cabs against this with the “Olde Skool” sound of older cabinets of the BF110. We must also keep in mind that the this will be as impartial as possible but it is not going to be definitive, it should be thought of as informative. Not to belittle the tests but it also needs to be fun. It will give you pointers and expand your knowledge, maybe helping your future purchasing decisions as part of a process.

True, but whether the BB3 is FRFR depends on the tweeter setting on the cab. It cannot be flat at all settings and IMO EQ/Tone happens at the bass and/or amp, not the cabinet.

Judging by the pictures, you are very close to the edge of the fingerboard on the G side already, moving the bridge might be risky.

I was also going to recommend Armstrongs. Kent Armstrong was Dan (Danelectro) Armstrong's son so his dad knew a bit about Lipstick pickups.

Last night I set the gains carefully and gut all three vocal mics sounding fine. However the monitor sound was distorted. Floor monitors were passive and driven from one channel of a power amp. We were not using channel B but last time I used it I used channels A and B with Channel A input paralleled to Channel B. I could see the signal light on Ch B flashing so turned the level down on that and the distortion went. It does not make sense to me but we finished setting up in good time and had a great gig.

Not last night, but last week. We played a garden party at the drummers house/garden, all fairly relaxed, and so I took the little Behringer analogue mixer. WE took great care in speaker and mic placement and for once had bags of headroom before feedback. Monitors nice and loud for lead vocals and although I could not really here the BVs well, I was not bothered, it was a bit of fun. We had a quick listen to the FoH vocals without the band usually, and it seemed OK. We usually wander out front during soundcheck, but not this time it was for fun... First set went down well, but the sound was described as "sizzley". I listened to the speakers with no signal and there was a pronounced hiss. Not too bad, I thought, so I carried on and set up a camera to record the second set. All was well, lots of nice comments. When I played back the video yesterday, I realised that the gain on the Guitarist's mic was up way too high and because the monitor mix was wrong, we did not realise that he was clipping badly. That was the sizzle reported. Another lesson learnt, thankfully not on a paid gig.

This is odd. There is no reason that the singer should get a shock from a mic unless there is a fault on the mixer and that would be unusual. You need to measure the voltage between the mic grille and earth. It should be very small, millivolts ideally.

I fitted a Classic P to my Aerodynalike, but it is a tad on the bright side for me. Their Duke seems to be popular on here, has anyone compared them?

Jim Marshall did use some of the Fender circuits at the start, Fender's were based on the RCA sample circuits and the later Marshall's took their power amp designs from the Mullard Audio books.

As the title says, we now have a PA subsection of the Amps and Cabs section, can we have a separate For Sale Area too?

At the pub/club level, I doubt that. The pubcos really screw the tenants, and the clubs cannot have enough buying power to get booze at good prices. Of course, some clubs do enough to warrant an entertainment allowance from the drink supplier (I know one club that got £8K in 2017). Of course, that is factored in to the price the club pays for drink.

This discussion should really be on the SW bass bash thread. So I will post my ideas over there.

THERMS rarely come up for sale on BC. Must mean something.
