AH150 covers a lot of ground. I think the SMC stuff is slightly less old? Either way the extra cab should come in handy. It will really wake up the combo assuming all is original.

Either an AI special or what appears to be pins inserted into the body laying back at an angle, catching the end bobble things.

It's a cup of coffee [beans]. Nobody ever accused AI of being smart.

Safer than motorcycles.

Wanting to be louder and then not be louder still when you slap is not possible without 'compression' of some kind. You could modify your technique to bring up your regular volume and slap more gently. Good luck with that. You could find a compressor that catches transients while not destroying tone. You could find a tube amp with just the right natural compression at the volume you want. Good luck with that.

You want compression that sounds like you want it to sound. You can either disappear down the compression rabbit hole or learn to do it with your fingers. At low volume your slap sounds are less bassy to the ear (Fletcher Munson). The extra HF in the slap is welcomed. Everything is coming out uncompressed. Life is good. The slapped bass overdriving the preamp is your problem? You turn down the input gain and turn up the loud knob. What happens then? Turn down some of the bass EQ!

If I had a dollar for every time an interrupt jack socket was corroded.....

You are probably correct but without the whole story it's impossible to know. Any number of misfortunes could have befallen a family member and not made public. It could be a bigger than usual bump in the road. The 10th anniversary jam was a night not to be missed. Two whole drumsets bass rigs etc etc so no breaks and an unholy all-in jam for the last hour.

I am not familiar with older stuff. Presumably there is an fx loop. On mine it is a parallel loop but I think your is in series.? Quite possible you can insert a patch cable onto it and all will be well. The old insert contacts can get corrosion between them breaking the signal at the loop. If it's a parallel loop you want to turn it all the way off and insert the cable for good measure.

Put the streamliner in a backpack. Then you're not carrying it. Problem solved.

The bank's dirty little secret is they bone the merchants via merchant banking same as the credit cards and they CAN do a charge back.

Still this... Going strong.

If you mean the powered one10, dual duty bass / PA cab, it got mentioned with the BF demo youtube. Blimmin' expensive, sunk without trace?

There is BAX thread, hopefully you paid by credit card, do a charge back before everyone else does.

Not to be confused as GAK!!!

Aka EQ unit?

How do you get output without gain? Must be a definition problem.

I think I have seen the original advert. You have at least heard of photoshop?

Sure it does, well some of it. Their own bakeries bake, their butchers cut up portions. The deli section prepares hot takeaways out of some of that product. That is why our VAT in NZ is a universal Goods AND Services Tax. No phaffing about classifying anything. Accounting GST is dead easy. Everyone has to eat but you can pay less tax by eating less fancy foods. Quite a good tax I think. The GST in your average rich person's shopping cart is enormous compared with a minimum wager or saver.

I read the first page and The Olymics of amateur musicianship is what? SongStars, Eurovision, Britain's Got Talent, you get the idea. Those tasty carrots are not appealing to most of us. The open mic jam stuff I used to participate in and run all had generous bar tabs for all involved. I lived close enough to one that I could walk home well shickered after buying my first drink and playing a few numbers three times. Many of the bonafide professional musicians frequent them after their gigs. Sums up gotta get paid very well. Have it your way I suppose. Nobody is going to come to your show and heckle you for playing for free. Pay to compete for amateur glory/ personal satisfaction/ while interested observers of your slog also pay and the organizer makes out like a bandit. It's a different world. I enjoy making coffee but I am hardly going to go on a barrista course so I can go work on a real deal 10,000 dollar coffee machine for free in my spare hours. The only reason that racket hasn't been invented is no hospitality venue has the balls to try it on. They could run free courses in the evening to train them up. They will quite happily abuse interns from the hospitality school though. From what I have seen pubs that want to put on bands and refuse / skimp on payment only get dregs of bands that aren't good enough for functions. Musicians with the pride to insist on getting paid look at those venues as the vultures that they are.

I figured there must be something like that out there these days. Good luck convincing Mr Rage it is awesome though. He likes to hold his guitar next to the cabinet and rattle his fillings.

The Sumo power output is superfluous with a 210 cab set despite what TE would have you believe. The Elf should be pushing them along without any danger of blowing them up. If that's not loud enough I think you should be looking for a pair a 12" speakers before anything else.

I can't tell if you mistyped or missed the point. It needs to be pointed at them so they can hear all their glorious tone as the mic hears it. Pointing a small cab right at the guitarist's head is the only way they can tolerate the racket. They choose a smaller amp. And yes it can be done down the Dog'nDuck. It was the guitarist himself who suggested it.

The Show Must Go On. I'll get my coat..
