Yep you may be right... I guess I shouldn't worry about taking stuff apart!

HI all, Some time ago I acquired a bargain PA through Ebay consisting of a Stagemix 300 powered mixer and a pair of Fender cabinets. I'm now looking to change some gear around but would like to reuse the cabinets if possible - the trouble is I have no idea of their model numbers or specs! They are wedge shaped with top hat mounts and a single grab handle on the upper rear, have no identifying markings whatsoever except for red Fender logo plates on the front and serial numbers on the back - FE125953 and FE125936. The serial numbers are on the bottom edge of the jack plates, which have two sockets. They have a 15" cone with two circular ports in the bottom front corners, and a horn at the top centre which has a dividing strip in the middle. They have black wire mesh fronts and black carpet covers with metal corner plates and rubber feet on the bottom (top hat end) only. I've scanned google images and can't see anything exactly liike them - [url="http://webpages.charter.net/pbrown1/pbmusic/pictures/fender_pa/fenderpa.jpg"]these look similar[/url] (same badge, basic shape and horn but no ports and different grille) and are supposed to be 115-ELCs. Anyone got any ideas what these are or what specification they might have (impedance and power handling), or how I might find out? Ta

Having bought a ticket for Sunday on short notice having discovered Phil Mann was going to be onstage... I overslept after my birthday party on Saturday night Oh well at least I didn't spend on anything else! Still teed off though.

Stuck a little jam my band did up on FB, a funkier variation on one of our normal numbers: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10151354684625171 Not a bad recording, methinks, for a living room on a Boss MicroBR using the internal mic! Apologies for the odd cockup btw, our singer said she wanted a "busy bass" so it was all on the fly... A question, though: just having a logo for a vid is soo boring, any tips for a quick way to make a more active montage using Windows MM or somesuch? Can you just throw some pics at it and let it ramdomly rotate through them with effects?

Bought some leads from Tom, very helpful and communicative, went the extra mile for me in getting them out really promptly (much appreciated!) Definitely recommended!

Bought an amp and monitors from David - very friendly , straightforward transaction and very good price for some very good gear! Many thanks, and high recommendation

I thing VLC media player has a built in eq you can play with for playback but for editting what you got you may be better off recording the sound a little better in the first place (not that what your daughter did wasn't good for a quick video); the mics in cameras are not the best. You might want to think about getting a laptop with cubase or logic or something similar and mic-ing up a rough mix. We generally record all our rehearsals with a couple of sm58's into a desktop with cubase running stereo. If you got the gear it's always a great way of listening back to where your going wrong when playing. It's proved very valuable to us over the years. [/quote] Thanks for the helpful advice. All I have at the moment to record rehearsals is a Boss Micro BR with its built-in mic, which works surprisingly well but is of course still pretty limited. I have been considering trying to record direct to PC so I shall give it a go! Cheers

If I'd realised at the time I'd have turned up - plenty under the hood! - but didn't want to dominate! You may notice I did tweak it up a tad early on as I was having trouble hearing myself clearly.

[quote name='SirChewey' timestamp='1320149394' post='1422853'] Nice little vid, in what sense do you mean boosting the bass? [/quote] In the sense that I can't hear it very clearly! And thanks for the kind comments - my littlun will be pleased !
