Correct.

Stratocaster bass?

One of the parameters of a loudspeaker is power compression. As a resistance/impedance gets hotter, the resistance/impedance increases and so the power reduces. Beyma AFAIK were the last company that published power compression curves and from memory, the power compression on one model was 1db loss at 1/3 power, 2dB at 2/3 power and over 3dB at full power. So a 4 ohm version of the same driver would lose be approx 1.5dB of the extra power available from the amp. Remember, most drivers convert well over 90% of the power they are supplied to heat.

My mistake.

I noticed that @Bass Direct have a Mark King Alembic in stock. It made me wonder if anyone has had more signature products? Marcus Miller excepted?

I have succumbed, but in my defence, it is only an amp gig bag. £15 from my Chinese mate Ali.

I am not criticising Barefaced, their 4 ohm cabs have two drivers, but you will get very little extra from your amp by going to 4 ohms, unless you do it with two drivers. Taking into account the extra power losses, a single 4ohm driver will only give you about 1dB extra. That is just noticeable so not really worth the trouble as you will not be able to double up on cabinets. A good single 12" woofer cabinet would be a better bet in that adding a second Identical cab would, stacked vertically, give a real noticeable difference.

I, too, would love to read it.

Oh my Word...Love it

I checked the Tech21 site for your mp spec and could not find it, that is why it was interesting. On the cab front, some of the new boutique 12" cabs outperform most 2x12s. Barefaced may or may not be out of reach, try looking at the LFSys Monza. If you really want two cabs, buy one excellent one, then add another when funds permit. I can vouch for the LFSys cabs, and there are many that can praise the Barefaced cabs.

Happened to me, I checked other sites and did a speed test, all OK. I think it was 5-10 minutes.

Interesting, on the Tech21 site "AMPLIFIERS Built around the warm analog brain of our SansAmp technology, our amplifiers offer yoga-guru flexibility with easy-tweaking layouts. We also built them as tough and good-looking as Lemmy. Whichever you choose, these amps will quake the bedrock live and in the studio. Due to exorbitant price increases of materials combined with supply chain and transportation issues, we have suspended production of all amplifiers. We will, however, continue to service and provide technical support as we always have."

The equal loudness curves are "upside down" compared to a typical frequency response or transfer function graph. So although it looks like a smiley face on those plots, to achieve a natural sound you need to dial in a smiley face on your pre-amp/amplifier at low volumes to get a natural sound. In a gig situation, smiley face, where the Lows and Highs are boosted, is not ideal.

Yes It is, and I realise that after investigation. I was just having a bit of fun.

On the name, It is not a spelling that makes sense in modern English, and it does offend the eye. However according to the real Wiki, Squire, Squair, Skair, Skuyer, Squires were all variations of the name over time. I hereby announce that going forward I will produce Squair, Skair and Skuyer guitars and basses.

I had one, sold it and have regretted since.

DRill baby drill!

What did you use to roll the edges of the fingerboard?

I agree Tim, but how else do we dispel the myths and utter ballcocks that some are convinced are true? You know the ones: Trace Watts are bigger than anyone else's (I love the sound of a Trace) Valve Amps are more powerful than solid state. Class D is weedy/unreliable (only the cheap far eastern stuff on E,I,E,I,O Express, BangBad, the Evil Bay and Amazoff.com). Sadly, most people will take the easy/lazy option, but we must still try to argue the truth.

Volts and current do have to coexist, in a resistive circuit, I think that going into phase shift, reactance etc. is a step too far for here. In fact, things have probably gone too deep for most already.

Mr Stub, I would fire anyone that used a SM58* except...the bandleader has one and is convinced has some magic inside. *There are some great mics out there that are not SM58s and are less money.

I am going to guess that these are "custom" versions of the Deltalite 2510 and as they are not available either, it's most unlikely that you will get a re-cone kit for it.

I have just updated the third part, AC Power, of this at the start. I did most of my theory 50 year ago, so forgive me if I have made an error.
