    My benchmark is - 'Will the bass be undamaged if the gigbag slides out of the car boot and hits the ground?' Beginner/student bags fail, so I'm looking at 20mm firm foam as a minimum. My drive is on a slope... David

    I can't quite make out how the mode switch works - is it a broken slide switch? David

    I'll check those out - thanks David

    I think I read a recommendation on here for an upgrade to the 'student quality' gig bag supplied with an Ibanez EHB1265MS, but I can't find it - my searches swing between no hits and hundreds of hits. Can anyone point me in the right direction, or make a recommendation of their own? Thanks David

    Almost certainly they will produce some sound at that frequency, but not at a volume comparable to 200Hz and up. For normal bass guitar use, that is no bad thing - the lowest octave often adds little to the bass sound, but adds lots to the general mush and boom. David

    If anyone closer to Manchester than Sussex would like to try one of these, I have one, and I'm just off the M6/M56 junction. Mine is not for sale. David

    I think that the concept of a double flat comes from the need to use each note name once and once only in a scale in that key. So if you have already used the E (as an Eb), the next note up has to be an F something. David

    Thank you.

    A set of high quality hearing aids will set you back £2500 - £3500, so these being in that ball park does not surprise me. I'm currently on my third or fourth monitoring setup intended to mimic the eq curve of my hearing aids, so there is a market there. David

    Bought a Zoom pedal from Ben. The process was disrupted by a family issue Ben had to deal with, but the pedal was dispatched promptly when he returned home. David

    I was looking for a multiscale 5-string headless, and ended up with a short list of two, in two separate shops. Drove to the first one, but didn't like the bass. The second one was in GG in Birmingham, who had shipped the bass in from another branch for me to try. Apart from missing the entrance to the car park, and having to go round the block again, it was a smooth and enjoyable visit - as others have said, friendly staff, basic questions about the type of rig I wanted to play through, then as long as I needed to try out the bass. No hard sell, and best of all, Mrs Mottlefeeder paid for it. David

    I have one of these for each of my basses, and they are really comfortable for long gigs - a busking set is usually 4 hours for the back line. GLWTS David

    When you talk about logic to mute the amp when the headphones are plugged in, are you sure it is logic controlled, and not just power amp to switched headphone socket with a couple of resistors to cut down on the signal. If the latter, it is a weak point and it might be worth squirting switch cleaner into the socket assembly (not water dispersant WD40) and inserting/removing the headphone plug several times to see if that clears the problem.

    Tom bought a speaker tilt-back stand from me. Pm'd within 15 minutes of my post! Money transferred quickly. Smooth transaction, just like all the ones above. David

    I find that quite confusing. The 1/2 presumably refers to a semitone, but not an interval from the key centre or from the previous note. What is it for? David
  18. Mottlefeeder
    If the ports are on top, you can't have an amp on top, but you will have a nice flat surface just waiting for someone to put their pint on... As far as the sound is concerned, I think that the ports only operate around the resonant frequency of the cab, so I'm not sure that you would hear much note definition from them. David

    Most reputable car amp manufacturers specify Watts RMS into 4 ohms @ 1% distortion with a 14.4v in accordance with the 'Amplifier power standard CTA 2006' (I've also seen it written as CEA 2006). If in doubt, check the paperwork, not the silkscreen printing. David

    As an alternative to the 'wedge in front' speaker tilt gadget, this one is a 'lean back and relax' design. It clips together like a warning triangle, and the straps from each corner are trapped under the speaker, which can then lean back against the triangle. Each of the straps has two button holes, giving four tilt options. The manufacturer's website is here http://standback.net The original design included a nut and bolt in the soft bit that went under the speaker cab, which sounded like bad news for tolex, so I substituted a squash ball on a string. However, I'm now using IEMs, so I have no need to tilt my cabs. It's yours, posted within UK Mainland, for £15

    I tried an experiment using the speaker box calculator WinISD - checking the responses of a 4-pole filter and 2 * 2-pole filters, all supposedly Butterworth. The 2 * 2-pole filter had a much gentler knee than the other, so that may have been part of what you heard. David

    If the Peerless does not model well, you might consider the Faital Pro 5FE120 - 5" 80W Loudspeaker from Blue Aran - £23.44 +p&p It's available as a 4 ohm as well as an 8 ohm. I use a pair of them, driven by a stereo class D amp and they sound pretty good. David

    The attached PDF is a 2018 copy of FDeck's 12dB +12dB HPF design notes, and a tested and proven guitar-fx stripboard layout. Note, the user opted for a TL074 with a 9v supply, but it is not recommended for use at less than 10v David downloadfile.PDF

    Interesting - Small amp and efficient speaker. I went for small speakers and a bigger amp, and my rig looks a lot heavier than yours. Is that EQ a tilt control or a mid boost/cut control? David
