The later 12'' Fender Rumble 100 can keep up with a drummer and a guitar if they aren't crazy loud. Save yourself having to upgrade in 6 weeks time.

Another thought. If you prise the end cap off the top of the speaker stand there's probably a hole that you can feed in the NS stand. A few wraps of duct tape top and bottom would take up the slack.

Update???

The cost of their booze. The cut of their jib. How much I want the gig even if there wasn't a 3 hr drive on each end.

There are advantages to using the suggested reducing 'passive collet'. It is passive. Ie it uses the stand's tightening system as is, rather than the usual tapered collet. It doesn't require a doodad to grip both your NS top and found reducing pole top adapter. Said doodad provides two extra places for it to be wobbly whereas the collet should be 1 and done solid. Requires no modification of your NS hardware.

Did you try backing off the input gain on the 'farting' amps?

I thought we were in for a tough night. At soundcheck the soundguy kept riding my fader. The quieter I played the more he boosted me in the PA to where I am just brushing strings. Then when we hit loud I couldn't dig in at all. I had to get him to knock that chit off. Something must have clicked because the gig went fine. At the break he says to me ''Man you guys are dynamic!!", like he never heard a real live band before in his life. ''Without quiet there is no loud''. I don't know who said that first but it is so true.

A crate or cupboard can be heated with a 40w bulb.

The cabs told a different story!!!! If it's happening at very low volumes it could be your incoming signal is too hot and what you are hearing is plain distortion. Still, it doesn't take much 40hz to give many cabs the heebie jeebies. One test you could make is to take the fx out loop from the Traynor and put it into the fx return of one of the others. Any amp that is a tube amp will need a cab hooked up so it doesn't fry.

??? Exported goods are zero rated for sales tax in the country of export. Hence the credit for sale tax embodied.

I dunno about that. If a business deals in used goods they can get a VAT credit on stuff that is exported.

Next thing to melt will be a speaker coil if you keep that up. Not often you get such a vivid warning but otherwise get off scot free.

Farting is an excess of low frequency energy sent to a cab. Some amps are better than others at filtering. Some amps have overall much less power. I suspect the Traynor might tick both boxes. A highpass filter aka HPF is very useful for nipping farting while maintaining a solid bottom end.

The small acts that have been making and selling records in the initial resurgence now find they can't get a pressing until 2024 because the popstars have booked up all the production capacity.

Puts you back in the workshop. If the NS pole comes out of the tripod base I'd be going with my earlier suggestion.

Find a business card that matches your desired clearance on another bass, no fancy gauges required.

Cat got your tongue? 3'' of 1.5'' round alloy stock. Put in lathe and take down 1.5'' to the diameter of the speaker pole. Drill through to the NS pole diameter. Put in vice and sawcut a slot longitudinally so it will never get too stuck anywhere.

Perhaps the one of the EU brethren could poke the scammer into giving bank account again and put it to Interpol? Tell him they will pay direct thru Swift.

I know the tune but can't recall the wooshy woosh bit on the top coming through to thicken the guitars. It sure isn't very loud in that track. Maybe flanger helps with the prodigious attack, I never used one like that, but pretty sure the band mix would be fine with some overdrive and a bit of EQ. But get a flanger anyway. Flanger is the nuts.

Cliff is plenty audible to me. Cutting through is a term I associate with the poor sods in metal bands where the guitars hog the bass midrange with their extraneous low end.

No chance. He only deals by PayPal F&F. If you go for pickup he will vanish. Still waiting for a mod to email the guy that paid by direct bank transfer. With the bank account details the police can jump on him. Iirc the prick used an account in the same name so he really shouldn't be hard to track down even without the bank info.

It's a marketing exercise. Non reliced bass sold alongside otherwise identical models that are reliced to varying degrees. This saves on advertising efforts and attracts vastly more attention from potential buyers, the ones who didn't know they wanted a pristine vintage copy until they saw the lineup. The ones that want a NOS will also find it easily.

Must be so. OP introduced the bass coming from the shop detailing the above and beyond collection and delivery service, tying in with the thread title, so as you have detected I assumed Overwater's shop sent it out and then Overwater chief sorted it out. I wouldn't be buying any more basses from that shop without checking them out!

According to the link quoted the NOS indicates NO relicing done to the finish. Kinda lame but makes sense within their set of descriptions for levels of relicing. Every day a school day.

I think I figured it out. Can you remove the extension pole from the stand? Then you could get a shop to spin you up an alloy collet for the top of it that your NS tripod extension tube fits into. What you don't want is for it to get stuck on your NS pole or in the stand. I can think of a couple of ways to skin the cat.
