  1. Looks like the E string was slipped out of the saddle before the image was taken. Soft furnishing artiste knew no better. Fail.
  2. The mic is very important as well. I'd hate to be in the same room where the sax was so loud it fed back via the sax while the sax player was blowing it! The sax player would be discombobulated all over the stage. Any mic can feed back from backline amplifier through the PA but only if it's fed from the PA. TBF the OP isn't properly specific about the application. You can read it as BFM did. It's exceedingly rare for bass players to double on sax on the same gig so I was more thinking he wanted a do it all rig to replace all the other stuff. It would be useful for the OP to chime back in.
  3. 500w gives you 121dB. Scary loud for one 12" woofer!
  4. There is a less fancy BDDI programmable 3 channel that is a bit cheaper than a Deluxe but would do what you want. Possibly you would want an EQ as well to chuck in a few more mids before cutting them up with BDDI in different ways
  5. Of all the reasons to choose or not choose a cab, whether the amp fits on top is way below the colour. Fit some feet cups or taller feet on your amp if there's a problem.
  6. One would be quite sufficient as it doesn't matter which cab is taken to the gig. Other option is an extra jack plate, doesn't have to be fancy.
  7. a completely unknown skill for many.
  8. Change rehearsal venue and wait for the text "what happened to rehearsal?". Reply "we called it quits after the last one". Carry on.
  9. A few years ago I had all JJ tubes in an amp that sounded sweet. JJ are Slovakian and available widely, good enough for Ampegs.
  10. Somewhere there's a link to the suitable washer so you don't have to pay music equipment rates on 5c washers. As I recall they are a little odd in their proportions of overall and hole diameters.
  11. I think it happens when the instigators are clear about what they are wanting to achieve. In your case they felt people out a little before adding them to the list? In my case both bands I am in started by putting out a notice of intent in the local paper and stipulated "must be able to read". That is a clear delineation between the jazzers that can and the jazzers that can't. First goes were similarly sucessful. I imagine your guys were pretty clear about what they needed also.
  12. Well it would, being the most reasonable person ever ejected from that other bass hangout.
  13. Works for me.
  14. NZ and Fiji is where the swamp stuff comes from. 10's of thousands of years old. Kauri is a podocarp. Podocarps were around when the dinosaurs were kingpins. Conifers and deciduous trees are much newer. In NZ we have a big problem with a fungal nasty that must have come in on someone's undetected dirty boots. Is is lethal to Kauri so known as Kauri dieback disease. It was undetected for some time so trampers have spread it widely.
  15. Ebony is kinda getting to be an endangered species isn't it? I am quite happy playing on ebanol. If that leaves a little bit of ebony for violins that can really use it, that's ok by me.
  16. Swamp Kauri over here.
  17. Eh? Looks like some random stained wood left in a swamp to mature, more like.
  18. I think the 350 version is more like my 250 in having a simplified mono version of the GP12 SMX preamp?
  19. Don't be mistreating your Mother tongue.
  20. I stumble at which are the inputs and which the outputs going from your switch to the main board and the EQ and back to the switch. It would be very easy for it to never work again if I was doing the job!
  21. Trace SMX fx loops are parallel. The only way defective loop jack could cause dropout is if the Effects Level was cranked.
  22. The risk with a hard thread lock is you get the reverse problem of spinning the jack the other way trying to loosen the nut.
  23. There are many grades of thread lock. You want a gentle one like Loctite 222. Use with ventilation and don't inhale the fumes. All these products contain a kind of dilute superglue that is tolerably toxic until you get too much exposure to it. Then it can cause mayhem in your immune system.
  24. Brand new speakers are sometimes duff. If it's not that and it's not the tube then you're going to need a tech to sort it out. Looking at your knob settings you could possibly have blown the new speaker. 4 on the output is all she's got when the green light is constant on the input side. There's a lot of low bass on the EQ.
  25. Thunpinator only takes out 30hz and below. Not the same thing at all. Depending on the room my HPF is working at 70hz sometimes.
