I found as a kid that the performances for 3 plus cat translated straight to jumping on stage and performing for all the other kids and their families, no cats. 1st night excitement with any new project is still a thing for me but knowing what I can play is key.

Fender Rumble Bass Combos - Advice Please
Downunderwonder replied to Cornwall Steve's topic in Amps and Cabs
There was a v3 100 Rumble supplied for backline at a festival we played. A good size pub with a stage big enough for full jazz orchestra and some. I say backline because that is what it must have been. Our turn to go on came and lo, the little combo is providing all the bass for the show with no DI out to FOH. Impressive!!! -
It would have to ge a real rubbish 410 to fail to make more out of 30w than the BF 115 cab. Still not a sensible swap. Lugging a hulking 410 and losing dispersion for a measly volume bump is not my idea of upgrades.

I taped over the footwitch socket on my Trace amp, only after killing it by hooking up the speaker lead to it. Thankfully there was no major loss of magic smoke, just a popped resistor in the preamp power supply.

I played my first couple or three public outings with my practice amp.

Carry Case for Trace Elliot TE1200
Downunderwonder replied to Pirellithecat's topic in Amps and Cabs
There's a Pelican case for every amp. -
The terms may be unfamiliar but it's very straightforward.
-
The Fender tone stack is bass and treble cut to 2/10, mids 10 /10 for as flat as possible.

What happened to DHL? They carried the last bass I got from the US very professionally.

Converting PJB Suitcase combo to cab
Downunderwonder replied to leroybasslines's topic in Amps and Cabs
First you want to test each driver that it A, hasn't failed to a open circuit by putting multimeter on DCR ohms. Should measure somewhere from 3 to 14 ohms. Less than 3 I would suspect failed short circuit which would explain the amp going poof. B, still makes a thump with 9v battery. The DCR measure is a little less than the nominal impedance for the driver. That will inform the choice of wring scheme. Given your substitute amp has way far more power than you need it might not be a bad idea to go high on the cab impedance wiring, to cut down on risk of blowing it up. Eg 4x16 ohm can be 16 as a series parallel instead of 4 ohm parallel. 4x4ohm can be 16 all in series instead of 4 series parallel. Your pjb box may have had the amp taking up some internal volume? Probably not enough to upset the tuning if you block it off nice and good. -
See!

Welcome Aussie. The Poms will be awake soon and surely know the answer.

Yep. I left Reciever's Expenses off the top of the list.

Granted they were out of order, but in their minds they were expressing respect. I think the family probably didn't mind. Ozzy sure didn't. Showbiz innit?

The future of amps & cabs - stage props only?
Downunderwonder replied to SimonK's topic in Amps and Cabs
We played a festival gig and I came equipped with my brand new mic to broadcast my carefully crafted tone to the masses. Drama unfolded. "Here's your DI" "I got two basses and a 2 channel preamp and this neato flat mic all set to go" "Just give us the DI" "How about listening to the mic?" "Just give us the DI" BL jumps in with some complaints that I am the most difficult bass player he ever worked with. DI gets my mic lead and away we go. The drummer's 2x15 plus horn monitor completely obliterates what is coming from my poxy 210. It sounds pukka except it is drowning out the band. Sound person accuses me of sandbagging and wants me to turn down. The drum monitor gets turned down some but still louder than my cab. More complaints that I am blowing up the mix, with my 210 pointed up at me, on a festival stage. We haven’t been invited back. -
Trace Elliot Amp. Is this Series 1? Help!
Downunderwonder replied to basslondon's topic in Amps and Cabs
The sum total of your mojo is some snapped off brittle plastic slider caps. As it sounds great my advice is leave it alone and play through it daily. -
FYI. NZ law is basically UK law with wrinkles so I would be surprised if yours is any different wrt bankruptcy. Taxman. Secured Creditors. Wages and Salaries. Unsecured Creditors. Nobody gets anything until those higher have got theirs. In the case of a merchant buying stock and selling it, the suppliers may retain title on the stock until paid. If it gets sold they become unsecured AFAIK. Customers paying for stuff with a credit card or electronic debit card have a claim back through the bank. If you walked in and paid cash or eftpos you are SOL.

Trace Elliot Amp. Is this Series 1? Help!
Downunderwonder replied to basslondon's topic in Amps and Cabs
Rescued from a time capsule? My 250SMX has lead an easy life and compared to your looks like it went along with the Omaha beach landing. -
I don't know why this wasn't clear enough.

Measure up your Ashown box. Find the volume of your new box. One of these experts will cheerfully work out what port length is required to emulate the original design tuning in the half size boxes.

OK, what is the 9M cost of sales covering?
