  1. The trouble with blending fx DIY is the fact that some fx return their signal distinctly out of phase from the clean input. An out of phase effected signal blended with the clean sounds like the backside of Satan himself served up with a side of week old offal. There are multi channel blenders that account for this with a 180 switch on the return. Have at it.
  2. Sucks to be right sometimes.
  3. RIP already ongoing in General before being appended to the 2023 pile of prominent demises. And duly merged making for the mid thread nonsense. Shoulda just locked the duplicate OT.
  4. Fender Boss to Fender Design Dept: "Let's have us a six string bass!" FDD: "That's gonna look like a cartoon next to the rest of our stuff". FB: "Do your best work". FDD: "Okay, you da Boss".
  5. Step one is finding a builder. There's a few fine folk on here who might even volunteer a couple of evenings to slam them together. Does the UK do "men's" sheds? They are everywhere here. Staffed by old geezers volunteering handyman assistance with space and tools for DIY projects. Copying over the 410 specs to a pair of 210 is a trivial set of calculations. You will need to find some bug eye covers or grill material and some more corners and feet.
  6. I have found it immensely useful knowing the nominally flat settings on provided backline gigs. Plug in my pedal board and off to the races.
  7. You could put your speakers into a couple of custom 210 cabs for very little moola. Very easy to copy over the 410 porting and cab volume half and half for guaranteed result.
  8. Doubtful you could do it without having a 240v hazard.
  9. A regular 6 string bass would be BEADGC. Dunno what you are wanting with a top B.
  10. I just knew there had to be Prunes & Custard on there. Beige says "suck on this and tell me you love me".
  11. I am in heaven.
  12. Most of the whole wide world manages quite fine with 34" scale. It's all about the strings and pickups.
  13. Join the club. The only way I can do it is with 'stupid' amounts of repetitive practice. Then when it's action time it sounds like someone else is playing the bass while I am doing the harmony. It's the very defintion of an out of body experience, well worth the effort. Yet I can't call myself a singing bassist as I can hardly even talk over bassing!
  14. Could be my memory is faulty due to the knobs being donkey backwards from everything else.
  15. Clock positions. Bass 10. Treble 10. Low mid 2. High mid 1. Contour hard left, or 'off'.
  16. Unlike your common garden variety 410 this one disperses mids and highs evenly and widely.
  17. Beats me how that process is supposedly more complicated than a carnet. Give gummint two copies of your inventory, leave, come back with same inventory, boxes checked and on your way home.
  18. If it's anything like NZ there will be a threshold value for collecting revenue on your total importation. Below the threshold they don't make you pay. Not sure if duty free booze and fags count against the total.
  19. More watts make more loud until speaker until speaker say enough of this malarkey. The power soak angle isn't applicable to a 500w solid state amp but there is a sort of corollary with some users of Genz Benz Streamliner amps. It's possible to rewire 4 ohm load worth of parallel drivers to be 16 ohms instead. With a Streamliner driving hard into 16ohms it will do the hard driving tone with much less power coming out than normal. Still no help to OP as the answer to the question is a simple hard no.
  20. If you like your tone as is then it's a done deal. Backup Stingray.
  21. For bedroom volume 1x ten is ample. You could buy the £40 SWR spare driver in the classifieds and put it in a half size copy of a Goliath JR.
  22. Never got much traction on this. I am pretty safely scoring a big donut having not bought anything or sold anything this year.
  23. dB/£/lB the best deal obtainable by far.
  24. Because electrons are so very very small. And Peavey spent a lot of time and money to optimise their multiplication without creating heat so it could all fit in a smaller than believable box.
  25. The word you're looking for is noncontemporary.
