Could do Country Road in GimmeGimme metal style and see if he gets the hint?

Prunes and Custard MXR envelope Holden phaser Danelectro Cool Cat chorus. Pretty please for a loop station that I don't use normally but on a dessert island with no guitarist it wouldn't be much fun and I could improvise some dodgy chords to bass along with while coconut drumming with my feet. I would be quite the circus act by the time I got rescued.

Do you have a blender? Or a crossover unit? Or a multiple input blending gizmo of any description? Preferably got something with a phase switch like a DB preamp? You really have to keep your lows intact to get anything resembling the recording. There's probably someone close enough to you that would lend you some kit for the audition. Shopping list: blender with phase switch, crossover that works with your intial preamp out level. Piece of cake.

You missed the thust of my post which was how to achieve the tone with pedals at the audition!

Lots of clean if a RAT is involved! Sounds like distortion only applied to higher mids and up so a crossover distortion blend situation would be my guess. It wouldn't much matter what overdrive you used if you did that.

Late bloomer!!!!

You should keep on saving and be aspiring much much higher than another little combo. A used heavy set of of gear is what you will need for most gigging bands.

Had Stuck in the Middle bomb a few times.

Live Sound Reinforcement as a standalone would be my preference.

Doh. Need a bunker for bike charging!

E bike range. Depending on cycle way provision and traffic conditions it could be faster and even safer. Or not, but worth considering.

By that I meant a pure and equal response zone. Aka power alley. Either side gets lumpy low bass response, ie uneven notes. A low E may be gutless for one punter and his mate a couple of feet away gets a gutless F. Probably best to side by side them in front of the stage for best effect. The bar staff will appreciate a bit less boom at work even if most of the punters don't notice anything they can put a finger to, aside from the visuals being new. You will be able to run the subs half as hot for the same oomph in the middle. That adds up to a more peaceful venue that drinks more while still giving the dance crowd their jollies.

A big central bass zone and either side your low notes have the bottom drop out where 1/2 wave cancellation of the sub primary waves intersect out of phase. To an extent this is less noticeable indoors with the wall reflections adding in. Putting both subs to one wall gives you control over muddy boom with a little tweak to the EQ. Ok the bass is stronger on one side but it's a nice even dropoff to the other side. Punters with a preference will gravitate one way or the other.

Find an open jam/mic/band night. There's all kinds of formats. Sometimes there's a house band that gives up spots to whoever can play or sing. Sometimes there's only a host and it's expected singers will bring their own band or play their own accompaniment. If you take a small rig and join the host for a few you can get some attention.

Thanks for the update. Keep us posted.

You can but the string spacing is tight. Also uke fingerboard markers are weirdo so you have to either relearn or cover them and make guitar ones. Intonation may be quite poor at the dusty end.

Is either in you or not. To develop it may or may not be within you. The only way to find out is to jump in and see what happens. You may succeed immediately or adjust to needing to do it, or fail miserably as many do. I encourage you to have a crack at it. On a Ubass there is a lot less to go wrong compared to full scale. My upbringing was on violin so it was a natural thing for me. Sometimes I hear that the frets aren't quite right on fretted bass guitar. I also hear myself playing poorly intonated notes when sight reading or when I haven't done enough practice. Best to keep playing in time eh! Nobody has ever pulled me up on it so either they all too polite or aren't bothered or more simply happy that there is bass driving the bus.

Woooo, office hours in nursing has to be the best bit.

Then Peavey, who phaffed around a bit failing, put it on the backburner, and then directed some serious R&D at it to reestablish the brand.

A year or so ago we had a thread about someone wanting to combify their cab by adding a small class D amp inside with only the front ventless panel on the outside. I was surprised to learn that the lack of any ventilation would not bother the amp as surface conduction of the cabinet would cool the airspace plenty to avoid thermal runaway, barely warming the inside as it turned out. So next room isolation would not be necessary, just put it in a cardboard box to muffle the fan noise.

In the case of home practice you are actually too loud already. Stay quiet enough that the fan doesn't come on!

When push comes to shove that's all your headroom used up in keeping up. The difference between having some headroom and no headroom is more significant than the 3dB that is not there with half the watts. 210 cab shouldn't be much difference in ultimate loudness because 1000w up it is not going to get used. The wrong lightshow is more reliable as an indicator something is amiss.

The traditional additional inducement to play on a big stage in front of a big crowd is a wad of cash. Maybe your bandmates are right and you are too niche for the main stage? Nobody wants to cause exodus. You seem to think you can hold a crowd. You will have to convince them that is the case.

B as in bow or B string? He does a 5 string.

Bit of major overkill. It must have been hardly even idling. Unsafe for anyone's hearing if it had been cranked up fo' shua.
