Serimousely? Fullerton is home town of one of Fender's factories that makes the fancier ones.

At least Maddy shows up and dances! People pay big bucks to go to holograms of ABBA, so low is the bar these days.

There are complaints, from folk that seem to need a metric buttload of power. I think many don't get the concept of a clean master vol with a dirty input control that compresses as it gets hair on. It is rated for a clean 200w without compressing. I haven't heard anyone claim it is false with any credibility. It would be a simple job to put an oscilloscope on the output and see what it is doing at the bleeding edge.

That works if you can find the right size boxes 1+m long for the synth.

Pineapple boxes would make great end caps. Those things are made to pile high with half a tonne on the bottom one. The guts could be carved from anything with the 1m length in it.

If I am reading it right the drummer has rejected the IEM after the one trial gig last Saturday? That's hardly a fair effort to get them dialed in. You will need the guitarists to level out their fx and have consistent playing dynamics soft to loud that everyone else can play to without any knob twiddling. Then you will be in your happy place.

Options. Reduce gain on his mic. Reduce his monitor volume. Reduce the amount the mic picks up of the monitor relative to drummer vocal. Is he getting right up on it? Unfortunately putting the monitor up higher to allow it to be turned down also puts it closer to the offending mic. Directions, reflections, and the pickup pattern of the mic are what you have to figure out. I think I would be sacrificing some stage area to put the monitor directly behind the drummer so he is a big meat baffle for the mic. Juggling gain mixer to FOH like that doesn't help feedback per se. The juggling needs to happen at the mic inputs. Anything you can do to get more of what you want to go into the mic with less extraneous racket allows higher gain on that mic. Dialing back the whole band right back on stage and putting it all through the PA would. Guitars on IEM for the win? Since you are good with IEM the big thing you can do is trade bass cab for FOH sub and put very highpassed bass in monitor for drummer. I dunno, they claim to want to sound good. Somethings got to give for that to happen.

That was Trace Elliot's ace in the hole for donkey's years.

The best box job is done by cutting down a superior shipping box that is free. Bike boxes, car windscreen boxes are good. The ones in stationers are cheesy.

The tech exists that an enterprising courier co could air tag everything along with their vehicles and cut all the nonsense.

Thomman should hook you up if you get in touch.

You could make a vertical tower box and transfer the whole kaboodle over to it, corners and all. Tilt and roll handle. The problem with making a bunch of small boxes is the horn unit is configured for all three.

'Off' on a tuning pedal IS bypass. I imagine by far the majority of users want it that way so it's easy to spot you are in tuning mode and bypassed. The minority club might well number 1 only.

Idly looking down my front page I see that guests on BC outnumber members logged in 2:1. Are they bots or members not logged in or bassists that can't be bothered to sign up? I never log out myself.

So long as it wasn't Gene Simmons you should be ok.

Yup. It's a slow day at work. What's your excuse?

So let's recap. No graphic designer, check. No website, check. Anyone want to give these guys actual money?

My old PA put 100w per side into JBL e140 based vocal cabs. No worries in a venue that size.

3 ft from a drum kit one side and bass amp the other. Dynamic mics. Plausible?

I left NZ with a pile, intending to return with same pile. I didn't want to pay duty on reimporting my pile so I went to see Customs on the way out and they slapped a sticker on it. I don't recall if they checked it or took my word for it when I came back. The sticker was nothing fancy a but a real bear to remove. No way it would be possible to peel off one bass and put on another.

Not seeing 300 capacity there, the bar runs most of the length of the room. Had a sub drummer last night. I was reminded how loud a properly kicked kick drum can be. Got a wee bit carried away myself. Shouldn't be a problem to get plenty loud enough that folks are leaning over the bar to shout their drinks orders. If you really want to raise Cain no harm in adding a subwoofer.

Aye. Despite eye protection I got a spark in my eye at work. That was some nasty pain. They packed me off to the doc who found a rust stained divot in my eyeball. Not recommended one little bit.

2nd thoughts Might be easier to take half mm's off the inside edges of the surrounding cabinet with a sanding block until the grill fits.

You need a way of securing the grill while you grind. Either that or use the bench grinder. Either way you also need a place to rest on so nothing is completely "freehand".

Duratex comes in plastic pouches, if available UK?
