    The folded metal shelf with speed holes mounting on tripod stand is what you want. The shelf part can sit flat on tour cab on its trolley.

    The Barefaced 210 throws you a curveball by low passing one of the woofers. Close mic on either isn't going to be very representative and you won't get anywhere trying to mic it from 2ft back on a loud stage. Your mythical blending will become.essential as the only one worth the mic is the full range one. I wouldn't want to be the one insisting on a 2 channel blend.

    I dunno. It's not so long ago that I was doing some jazz fusion with injections of phaser from time to time. Everything old is new again.

    I don't know what you were expecting out of the pint sized mini rig! Mathematically a 2nd cab is going to add a little and then some, but it's still only going to be 2 tens at the end of the day. Afaik Elf manages about 130w into 8 ohm, so not a whole lot of extra power, but the 3dB of extra sensitivity from doubling cabs can do a bit extra with it again. If you are seriously only lacking a little then I feel you would do nicely with the 2nd cab. If you are more underwhelmed than that you might be better off with a 12 or two. Never mind what other folks get away with using with their loud drummer. Everyone's drummer is loud. Some are louder. If you ever plugged in a second cab you should have a fair idea what to expect in your situation.

    So long as your cab is sensitive enough and your volume requirement relatively modest you can get a great range of tones from an Elf. I wouldn't describe them as vintage Trace due to the inherent warmth whereas my SMX only does clean clean clean and an itsy bitsy bit of warm from the valve being on 100% blend. The TransitB has the dual compressors of the SMX and a bunch of EQ that should surely get you very close to anything you can reasonably slide and dial up on an SMX. Then it has a drive blend section for MOAR. @TheGreek I would expect you could set the Elf input gain quite low and use the TransitB to get the full Trace tone experience albeit with less wattage out but with overdrive option. Plugging the TransitB up the backside of bigger amps is going to be the full Trace massage.

    Eh? 1979 is pretty darn retro these days

    Rule of thumb, if it's all good going through the existing pedals then it will be fine at the end.

    You need to read typo. It's missing a 0 off the 100w.

    Collect a few changes worth and offer them up to some charity craft group.

    I would be very surprised if two TC pedals couldn't share a daisy supply just fine. In any case a suck'n'see approach is perfectly valid. Back in the mists of time I had an incompatible pedal. All the supposedly iso supplies I tried weren't. The pedal that popped wasn't going anywhere and the new addition was likewise staying so another faithful servant had to be substituted even though it wasn't doing anything aside from upsetting the newbie into messing up the other incumbent. Sticking to two pedals will save you from that kind of puzzle solving.

    Somewhere in cyberspace you can find Boss GT6B recipes for Muse that are pukka representations.

    I am guessing all of the above means aux out and aux in are not a line loop?

    Shipping neck off allows a much more compact package that is every which way harder to damage.

    What's wrong the seperate insurance offering someone linked for you?
  15. Downunderwonder
    I expect any endorser of anything gets theirs similarly.
  16. Downunderwonder
    Actually that was in a subsequent comment that I missed.

    Not a horse I'd want to ride.

    There is no slack, it's under tension! Nominally the string is in a straight line between nut and bridge, only nominally because we are ignoring gravity effects. For it to be bent to contact the fret it has to be physically longer and for it to be longer it must stretch and for it to be stretched it must be at more tension than when it was straight. The deviation from straight is small so the increase in tension is also small, but it is inescapable. The force that is required to push the string over to the fret is amplified manyfold in the increased string tension, by the ratio of the string length to the deflection.

    As always it"s horses for courses in the wild wide world of gigging bands.

    You would buy into it too if your livelihood depended in large part on upcharging for exotic timbers.

    In that case you should loop the cable forward of the body and back in between body and strap. I don't think I have seen a jack so far back that it is impossible.

    I think that ship already sailed.

    From the link: "Manufacturer Musicman" So it should show in the EB serial machine, no?

    Still about 5 too many? In last three years I have only sold basses. That's good justification for the latest purchase now that I think of it. Need to offload more.

    In the case of new amp sold out of the EU the advertised price will include EU VAT so I believe you are wrong!!! The vendor sells it to you with no EU VAT being applied as it is being exported. To do that he must go through the correct export process but it's pretty simple. Thomman are all over it and I would expect Mr Handbox also. Sadly nobody seems to be able to get their head around EU VAT refunds on used goods exported privately. So for bringing in used stuff the 20% number may be close. You're in the cart for UK VAT on the shipping cost as well as as the purchase.
