The Peavey looks to have lead an easy life.

Put it all back how it was before the upgrade. See if the noise goes away. Then you can troubleshoot one thing at a time. One time I added some new pedals and an old pedal started to be noisy when it was on, even when the newbiea were off. Some pedals just don't like other pedals. It was suggested to me that I needed a proper isolated power supply for each but I never found one that worked as advertised. The old pedal lost instead as the new one that turned out to be the secret agitator was so sexy and there were plenty of alternatives for the old one. Put it all back as it was before and change one thing at a time.

I'll never forget the guttural roar that came back at us when the half cut crowd realised we were opening with Born to be Wild.

Who was S. Cadorina?

The term comes from the days of yore when mixers were built up in rows of channels that came in literal strip units. You could pull one 'channel strip' out for repair independently of the unit operating. I guess more than a few got repurposed.

For my money I'd file down a few at a time until they did fit.

Hmmm 9.03mm <<< 10.0mm, not going to fit?

Played a bunch of Markbass single 12 combo backlines but always with FOH bass. I'd give it a solid maybe for standalone duty.

The rehearsal room has a lovely warm bass support to it like the sun streaming in your window. So much so that I have to turn down the low end. Then I set up somewhere else and wonder where all the bass went.

It's not derailment when it's all about tube watts, merits or otherwise. I got on fine with my 50w but it wasn't worth the fight to get my cab mic'd, even bringing my own mic.

Nothing to detract from your unusual all good non gigging band experience but you're way off in left field when it comes to the general band with a couple of closet non giggers in it wasting everyone else's time.

Where's the spell checker when you actually need one?

There's some new legislation afoot here that 'compels stuff to be fixable'. Don't ask me how they are going to do that but I would think making schematics available would be a good 1st step. People are getting fed up with appliances that fail after a couple of years of household use and ''can't be repaired''. The Greenies saw an opportunity to score and 'dial back time' to when stuff was made to last, so to speak, instead of landfill. A bit of a pipedream but my Mum had the same vaccum cleaner for 25 years, overhauled when required, and I must have gone through 4 in that amount of time, so all power to them.

Horses for courses. I had a 50w tube amp, a NZ 'Bassman' which copied the front panel but not much else. It was great for low volume use, really sweet tone. If I could have mic'd it up for gigs without a hullabaloo from sound crew, every single goddamn time, I would have gladly kept it.

I never heard a Rusty Box demo before. Repeat 1000 times, I do not need another effect toy, I do not need another effect toy, I do not need another effect toy... Tres subtle. If you taped around the new pickup layout on your existing pick guard someone here might make you a whole new one for the cost of the multi ply sheet and it would look all OEM.

Not seeing the aggro myself. Winter on the way here and I have busted out the beanie for evening wear a couple of nights lately in preference to the heater. It's surprisingly effective in making the whole world cosy for nil cost except the fashion gaff.

One of the 210 woofers is low mid and below only. That one should go at the bottom with the 110 on top. Never mind the badges.

Result! I don't know that I had that big of a role in the works. I just didn't want to see you flip it for a huge loss when there was only one little job to do to get it working way far better. Then you jumped in with both feet. You can find acrylic sheeting at a sign shop. You want a strip of black and someone with a router to help wack out some surrounds that screw into those spare holes currently filled with ugly (not)countersunk ones. Replace with button head screws while you are at it.

With the proviso that if it stops sounding epic and gets raggedy you need to stop doing that and turn it back down a bit. 800w is a big amp for 310 even if the 2ohm mode calms it down a bit. Turn it up clean until it doesn't get hardly any louder and turn it back down a smidge. That's your lot. You will need earplugs.

Maybe. It all depends on the impedances of the two cabs and the minimum load allowed the amp. When cab impedance is equal they share power draw equally. Ideally your 210 would be half the impedance of the 110 but then you may run into minimum load issues. Likely the 110 is 8 ohm. If the 210 is also 8 ohm you have the issue that it is running half power at the same time as the 110 is flat out. With an 800w amp that doesn't bode well for the 110 and you haven't got the 210 working properly. That being the case, two 8 ohm cabs, if you just want a cool 310 tower that is easy to hear there's probably no harm to be done so long as you aren't going for big volume, but you could do very nearly the same output much more safely just using the 210 sitting on a riser.

I haven't seen an active nominally vocal PA cab without a 70 or 80 hz highpass button. Any digital mixer should be all over any HPF you want as well.

I had a sunburst P copy as my first bass. Now I find sunburst to be a distasteful cliche and everything else is all good. Except 'new relic'. Don't get me started on faux relic.

Humm. Are you setting yourself up for being in charge of FOH? I think you are. I question whether these days the gigs/ venues are really needing a full noise PA if there isn't one there already. Most bands in venues are tending toward the stupid loud end of loud when there's a house system. I don't agree with that. Mostly they play way too loud on stage and it all turns to mush out front. Do you really want to wrestle that gorilla? A good drummer can kick a very loud kick with no support. If you all balance with that you'll be quite loud but conversation will be possible 30m out. Vocal PA ftw.

I must have tagged no sigs when I signed up, because I had no idea what you were banging on about.
