I hadn’t heard of this band and must look out for them! We saw Jesca Hoop’s Songs Of Joni Mitchell project a few months back, which was great. They’re on tour again this autumn, only this time with Kate Stables out of This Is The Kit in the band, and there isn’t really anyone better than Kate Stables.

Cool, I’m in, and will bring: - ‘Longhorn’ US Standard Jazz bass - Laney R500H - Eden WTX-264 - Homebuilt 1x12 sort-of Basschat 112 Mk2 - Basschat 1x8 - Zoom B1 Four

Marshall MB 15 is also worth considering if you see one.

What sort of time are proceedings likely to get under way, do we reckon?

Nice carpet work! Looks sealed, not ported? Do you remember if you did any modelling of the response?

Eddi Reader at the Stoller Hall in Manchester. Boo Hewerdine on guitar, John Douglas uku (I think!) and guitar, Alan Kelly accordion, Kevin McGuire db. Great show, included some Robert Burns, some Fairground Attraction (yes including that one) but brought something new to each of them, and some other stuff. Definite recommend.

moneysavingexpert says you may be able to get money back through a chargeback claim if you paid a company by debit card (or credit card) and they have gone bust.

The way to find out would be to model the response using software like WinISD. You need to know the internal volume of the cabinet and the length and area of the ports, plus the parameters of the driver you want to use which should in the manufacturer's datasheet. I'm not experienced enough to look at the output of the modelling and tell you how it will sound, but if someone like @Phil Starr has spare time they might be able to run it and give a quick opinion. The thing is, as @bremen says, the "600W" driver rating is only half the story, basically being how much power you can put in to the driver under standard measurement conditions before something melts. The other half of the story is how far the cone can move before something breaks, and the power it takes to cause that is dependent on the enclosure as well as the speaker because the air in the enclosure affects how the speaker cone moves. To get more volume out of the same size driver in the same enclosure you are going to need the cone to move further, and it might be that the "600W" driver will hit its excursion limit at the same or even lower volume compared to the "250W" driver. If the higher rated driver is less sensitive it might even take more power to reach a lower maximum volume.

I think nowadays it’s this 😉

Cool, was that a quartet lineup or just the duo? They’re in Manchester tonight and I contemplated going but I think it’s just Adam Neely and the drummer, and, well, I didn’t.
