  1. Get an agreement that if the same thing happens the next time the tune is played they will drop it and no more will be said.
  2. It's nothing to do with the musical composition. It's all about a few words being in a common order and ignoring the rest.
  3. It's going to be a jury trial. I'd like to think any jury would love to send some hate down on the lawyers trying to cash in here, but I've been disappointed before with 'groove' 'infringement' decisions.
  4. Fretless, and stay away from open strings. For better results periodically lift the string over the nut to equalise tension each side while bringing up to tune. I need to check but pretty sure no truss rod in my Kala.
  5. Read the thread title. AI weapons. Not same thing as AI for military applications. As to autonomous fighting machines, don't want anyone getting them. NZ just kicked off an international treaty aiming to nip that particular arms race in the bud.
  6. I see. Mum's Harp. Build a boat and row it there In my family there's a very old violin, much easier to deal with. Be thankful Mum didn't play a grand piano.
  7. Send them a 'listen to me next time you want to throw something in' text while the memory is fresh. Don't forget the smiley.
  8. Do you have a review process for that sort of thing? If not, you want to start one!
  9. So it's a proper big bastard of a shipping crate by the time it is packed up! I was thinking of something that would fit in the back seat. Must be some fine expensive thing to be worth doing and doing right.
  10. Doing the sums she didn't make 50. Hard life.
  11. None of those things go bang. At the end of the day AI for military means killer robots.
  12. You never saw Terminator? But seriously, I don't know anyone that wants autonomous weapons flying/running/crawlingaround shooting at whatever they 'feel' like.
  13. That shirt fits and he's wearing it. Onwards and upwards indeed.
  14. It would be an interesting drive.
  15. The death zone is 4 to 8ft from the walls. If it's booming next to the wall bring it out from the wall or get to HPF town.
  16. The drummer's rehearsal space is wonderful, a little too wonderful so I have to tweak up the HPFand turn down the low bass to settle it down. Perfect. Then I set up somewhere else and wonder why it sounds thin.
  17. Note edit of previous post.
  18. I'm sure the exact harmony choices are less important than the way it crisscrosses phase with the rhythms and melody playing it's own little tune all the while.
  19. That is one nifty bassline. I hope that's what you were playing!
  20. Bill tried to set you straight. In more layman's terms, about the only thing that is linear in the whole operation is the numbers 1 to 10 on the amp dial. SPL is on a log scale to 'match' with voltage and make graphs possible to fit on paper. It also dovetails with how we hear changes in SPL. If you know anything about power, it varies with the square of the voltage. Decidedly non linear! While the heat remains under control you can get 3dB extra volume each time you double the power. A very non linear 1w 2w 4w 8w 16 32 64 128 256..... 512.. silence. Rules of thumb might have changed a little in the modern high power woofer game but it used to be that around half the rated power through put was where they would start to get warm and go 'non linear' not that they were ever linear in the first place. OP's 800w cabs will do very well with 480w each.
  21. Eat your vegetables! I'd say your cab probably rolls off in response right where you are comfortable so you don't hear any difference. That's fine until push comes to shove and bit more trim comes in handy, either to save the speakers or right the tone. Our ears gain low end sensitivity at higher relative volumes. Or you might get a different gig where a deep blue sea of low end fundamental isn't what's wanted. A good experiment is to set up with the HPF off and the right amount of bass EQ. Then put in a little too much bass EQ but now bring up the HPF. That's often a different kind of good when you have limited EQ control. Not sure you don't have parametric filters up the wazoo on your flash amp though.
  22. You've got the idea then. Backing it off until it sounds good again is a great way to get set. Should you crank something else up you won't be sending wobbly distortion. If you hear wobbly distortion or an excess of low end you can up the HPF a tad.
  23. You must be besotted with it, besides the fret situation? I'd sell it as is and buy a fretted one.
  24. Messages plural? Singer and guitar hero. Anyone else?
  25. For a very long time my gear was worth more than my car! I didn't even have a car for a bit. Stuff is sort of not really safe in cars around here. Every now again there is a spate of kid burglaries on vehicles. They think it's kids because they take the cash and phones and leave expensive tools and the cards. I think a choice bass or amp would be gone on the wrong night. The old 215 would probably be fine.
