You don't have to be so tall, just very strong so you can pick up the top two of six while someone slots in the 4th. I don't believe you are that silly though.

Easier to take the feet off and put them on the other end. Edit: by rights the grill should come off and fit back on upside down?

They used to chuck them off the loading dock to test road readiness. If it didn't fire up it was back to the drawing board.

This is good advice.

If you can cheat by having 1/4 the tempo you get 16 bars worth to play with. Then a bunch of the suggestions from folks that obviously don't know what a bar is would work. Hats off to Little Green Bag man.

Yep. Also the possibility of driving the everloving pish out of the rehearsal cab that gets the particularly the clank.

I am doubting 100w can give enough heft to go along with abrasive clanky grit fest if you are doing that with 400w currently. That's some full metal jacket bass going on and you would have lost 6dB of headroom, sounding more like another guitar. Maybe that works for you but unlikely. Cue the "I play metal with my LAF drummer and my 100w does just fine" comments. Everyone's drummer is loud and some are louder. 6dB is 6dB everywhere every time. Assuming the cab you were using was handling all the 400w, that power deficit is literally fully the difference in heft between 100w going into a 410 cab vs two 100w amps going into two 410 cabs. Let that sink in. Same difference as your guitarist trading 50w + single 412 for 100w + stack of 412's. For me tubes do the effortless warm thing when I can be bothered. None of my tube amps are bigger than 200w and I am not trying to rearrange innards. There's pedals for aggro. I had a 50w one that was lovely at low volume and disappeared when push come to shove. Same 6dB down on 200w. It's a similar effect comparing an additional cab on a solid state amp that pretty much doubles output at 4ohm. If you want to be royally rowdy without the weight you're looking for a nice preamp and a class D power amp.

If it's 95% of the sound but only 27kg I know which one your bandmates want to help move off stage etc. They also get to hear it better without the beaming.

I didn't catch that. Shouldn't be hard to phone the Principal and explain the situation. You have a horrible noise and the only difference is the other side of the stage. There is a strong possibility the power is wired incorrectly and could be hazardous. You will test it with the socket tester but would like to do that before the next rehearsal. Any chance of meeting them before school starts, it will only take 5 minutes? No chance the school cafeteria fridge is on the other side of the wall doing a bit of budget redistribution?

Someone probably tried to order and the boss said to hell with give away string pricing. I noticed Gollihur have theirs out of stock "due to needing to sort out discrepancies in specifications on the latest batch". The mind boggles. I thought D'Addario were pretty good for reliability.

'Sounds' like something is physically loose, but mystery how picking is much different to plucking. I would think banging strings onto the pickups is more than a mildly distracting knocking noise. You might need to post a video to get anywhere with it. I definitely wouldn't rush out and buy new pickups at this stage.

That didn't last long, I just checked: now £153! £137 at Acoustic Centre.

NS strings are made shorter for NS basses with little after bridge length required and peg box being compact with BG style tuners. My NXT can string through to the back to take regular bass strings if required.

I wouldn"t mind betting there are more lows available from the 410 than the 215. A faux crossover with the EQ on the Trace would effectively turn it into a sub pretty damn well. Keep the low slider bottomed and probably the next up cut some as well. Boost the stuff up to 150hz and cut the rest hard. You'll hardly get a peep out of it, aside from the woof. Do the opposite with the H/H and you might get a better sound than you think. 15's not labouring over bass and having potentially 150w of treble up them instead can really scream! I recommend taking it easy with the loud knob.

Surely the thing to do is head to the hall when something else is getting set up, make yourself known to the stage manager, and quickly check the power at the duff spot with the socket tester you're about to buy?

I folded a cardboard W with return wings at the tips and squashed it flat, then run a Stanley knife through it at an angle. That angle is less than the angle you want the cab to finish at.... Back out at uniform angles and you have a wedge. The back of the 210 cab sits on the floor and the W holds up the cab. Use cardboard from a double skin box and cover it in 50p worth of duct tape. It can't collapse by spreading to a wider W without getting taller and lifting the cab. The front would have to get closer to the back. Quid pro quo it's rock solid until overloaded and crushed. You're welcome.

The Real Thing.

Just judging their choice of bridge to be insensitive to the sensibilities of the wholesome majority. We Kiwis fully understand Brit humour. We even know how to spell it.

You might have to special order it but a SfX Micro Red Dragon does warm to gnarly. Turning up the gain and down the output by the same amount maintains volume level.as you add gnarly and the low end is maintained along with the gnarl.

That's useful general advice but it was howling with nothing at all plugged in.

The NS Traditional are indeed da bomb on mine. So so close to TRT now.

The way to run a 210 vertical stack with a big tube amp is with a small shelf to stack the cabs on top of said tube amp. This saves the vents from being blocked and saves the amp case top from bowing under the weight. The shelf spreads the weight to the walls of the amp case.

Aside from the non certified stuff there's the Quilter Bass Block but it has optional EQ and overdrive if you drop the master volume and crank the input. That would be handy if your preamp déjour ever bit the dust.
