Doubt it How would that have come about without going before the Magistrate the other day? More likely the case got stayed because someone had the flu. More hopefully the Magistrate baulked at the magnitude of it and kicked it upstairs? What I find odd is you can see a bunch of "first hearings" the previous day all set down for the same 10am time and all rubber stamped as tbc. You would think CPS vs Mason has to have been dropped or charges upgraded for there to have been no hearing at all.

Cabs wired backwards will indeed fart out trying to get any bass out of them.
-
You could possibly make use of your LDS cabs as they sit by adding a high pass filter into your amplifier. And / or, stuff one of the ports to raise the tuning.
-
Bill Fitzmaurice subs are very light, but they chew up pack space. They all make gobs of 60hz for your low B. Nothing makes 30hz in useful amounts.

A highpass filter will help you with the big booms and save on stretching cabs into distortion. Next problem becomes overheating which manifests as getting quieter despite turning up, until no sound comes out. Before that happens you need to get the stage volume under control. No way you should be unable to hear yourself properly with a stack of speakers and 700w amp.

Plenty of experience with 1000w and 800w class D. I haven't tried high volume sines as that would be bad for the cabinet. I haven't been in a band trying to blow the doors out since before the revolution. The times I have given a 800w sone beans it didn't seem to be doing anything the Trace couldn't, except lighten the load.
-
A Trace 250w will pump out a sine at 250w without complaint. Your average 500w "RMS" class D will whimper quickly. Full expression of transient peaks from your Trace watts is a wonderful thing.

Peterson combo driver upgrade (and related plywood boxes)

The Commando green case calls for grey or black knobs if you ask me. -
A 21kg 210 is pretty manageable in the greater scheme of things though. If your big rig was a 810 I would understand.

Sorted. What you need is a trolley.
-
Be absolutely sure your potential dand mates have the same idea on what constitutes "acoustic" before you get too far into it. Many an acoustic guitar has been played at earsplitting volume ime.
-
None whatsoever. Get another of the same 210 and stack tall. The tower of power doesn't comb filter your mids into a muddy mess like a 410 does. No strain loading in and out. Much win.

Least amicable band split stories...

So you might just about be able to remember your lines? Seems like a worthwhile thing if the rest of the band and yourself got the knucklehead vocalist to accept his place in the world. -

How old am I that I recall the righteous indignation you posted at the time? -
Why am I struggling to make bass sound good through PA?
Downunderwonder replied to mrtcat's topic in PA set up and use
The OP had you using a potentially high output cab that could have been the FOH clarity difference you were missing. -

Downunderwonder replied to mrtcat's topic in PA set up and use
The other thing to do is cut the lows from your stage monitor sound so there is no interference with the PA lows. You could do that by turning well down. Otherwise you need to get fancy with the signal path, or using the main bass amp only as a monitor rather than plugging your bass into it. -

You need a tunsten filament and a halogen to make a halogen bulb. Fluorine is not the actual one they use but it would probably go to 11, seemed appropriate for your halogen days. -
Imbalance between strings can come from string to pickup distance or pickups themselves. Noise can be from anywhere.

You rehearsed under fluorine lamps? -
I did a bit of busking with DB and a drummer. Drum and Bass, geddit? We even did sone D&B inspired musings. I had a few pedals and a battery rig.
