  1. Yamaha is in charge now.
  2. Getting the taste out of your mouth? There is no such thing as one polo mint. They hunt in bags.
  3. So long as they aren't asking for me to correct their worldview I can work with them. I get you are more talking about the evangelical sharing kind of misfit though.
  4. Any amp with fan can go in a muffler box. Conduction into the box out of the warmed air, radiates to the outside to lose the heat before it gets too hot inside.
  5. The drummer concurs.
  6. I wouldn't take it to just any amp tech. You want a proper enthusiast.
  7. Quilter BassBlock is fully transparent at lower gain settings.
  8. There is that. But also, depending on how you like to attack your envelope filter, potential for tre compressor to even out its trippiness. So you may like to have two compressors!
  9. 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.
  10. Not your brother. The original poster's member profile marks him absent.
  11. He hasn't been visiting since 2020.
  12. 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!!!
  13. 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.
  14. Old school tube amps. They often neglected to provide an 8 ohm tap for the power transformer in favour of a 2 ohm one. Legacy of wanting to power the gig off the stage with twin 810 cabs.
  15. I own the rainbow and swap them around, sometimes wearing more than two at once.
  16. 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.
  17. I played my first couple or three public outings with my practice amp.
  18. There's a Pelican case for every amp.
  19. The terms may be unfamiliar but it's very straightforward.
  20. The Fender tone stack is bass and treble cut to 2/10, mids 10 /10 for as flat as possible.
  21. What happened to DHL? They carried the last bass I got from the US very professionally.
  22. 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.
  23. Welcome Aussie. The Poms will be awake soon and surely know the answer.
  24. Yep. I left Reciever's Expenses off the top of the list.
