No worries. Mine works fine with my Android phone, but I was just checking out other options. David

Hi Phil, Can you clarify whether you downloaded an Android playpen to run the mixer app on your desktop, and if so, what did you use? Thanks David

Possibly because 'front' grain and end grain take common finishes differently, so by hiding the transition, they can use a cheaper finish. David

Hi Rob, If these are still available I'd like them please. I'm about to start my own BC 8 build. David

I've quit facebook so that I spend more time here!

The change of grain direction from 'in-line' to 'end grain' on a rounded edge would ensure a non even take up of finish. I doubt that you would need a contrasting colour. David

I had been playing BEADG fives when I decided to try fretless. I started with a borrowed BEAD four to see how I got on and the band almost immediately added 'Crazy little thing called love' to the set list. That triggered a rethink and I quickly moved on to a BEADG five fretless. Unfortunately I found it was not for me, and I now only play fretted fives. David

Finger joints and dovetail joints instead of battens along the edge should make a stronger, lighter joint, but makes each panel larger before machining and therefore more expensive. Using solid wood instead of ply would probably not be as stiff, and possibly prone to cracking as the tenperature/humidity changed. David

I set the TV volume at zero, and use the HiFi volume to control the sound level. It does not have numbers. David

That sounds promising. Also some reviewers comment on the good sound, but do not define what process they were doing when they thought that. I think I may pull the trigger on one and run my own subjective tests. David

Hi Phil, I think, about a year or so ago, you commented that the D-A/A-D on cheaper mixers was noticeably inferior to that on dedicated interface units. Where do you feel the Flow 8 sits on that line? I have the option of 'upgrading' to a Flow 8, or connecting my analogue Alto ZMX862 with my Steinberg UR22C interface to achieve the same functionality, so I'd value your (and anyone else's) feedback.

I can't see a problem, assuming he doesn't turn up his mids and you don't turn up your deep bass. On the upside, your cab on top of his would give you a monitor closer to your ears. David

Rereading your original post, I think there is still some confusion here. In imperial measurements, the common headphone jack diameters are 1/4 inches and 1/8 inches. In metric, that would be 6.35mm and 3.5mm. When you talk about 1/2 inch jacks, and buying a convertor 'from 4.4mm to 3.5mm (1/4")', I wonder if you are confusing the imperial and metric equivalents and searching for the wrong adaptor? David

The common jack plug sizes for headphones were 1/4 inch (6.35mm) originally for hifi, and 3.5mm (USA 1/8 inch) for Walkmans and similar small gear. Both of these were tip/ring/sleeve (TRS) giving connections for left/right/common ground. A quick google search suggests that the 4.4mm connector appears to be mainly aimed at headphone connectors where the user needs to keep the left and right return conductors separate, so it is a TRRS, but connected differently to phones' 3.5mm mic and earphone headset TRRS. This may be why they went for a different size. Just guessing. David

My first foray into 5-string basses was a Cort Curbow, but I quickly took it back and exchanged it for a Yamaha RBX 765 (which I still have, about 25 years later). The problem I heard was booming bass through a Fender 100 watt 15" combo amp, but your assessment of missing mids from the bass (and the speaker) makes much more sense. Enjoy. David
