You can buy really good plugs and a piece of cable and get change from 10 quid. Even better, you will know for sure it is wired properly for rejecting noise as best can. Once you have made one cable you will never buy another ready made.

So he can use the amp to monitor instead of the PC speakers. I think the USB might be an input for play along on your combo? I dunno what you would get from a balanced mono DI going into a stereo audio input with a mono jack. DI isn't a hot signal as a rule. Worst that should happen is noisy. The correct way to wire it can be found here: https://www.ranecommercial.com/kb_article.php?article=2107

I can see @Bluewine in sequins and stripes.

The original had balanced XLR out. V2 has a balanced TRS 1/4". Maybe this one will have a level control, or less of a LINE out level that doesn't blow out the mixer, to go with XLR out.

What's the US equivalent of Glam? Do cover bands make a specialty of doing the whole enchilada theatre like you fellas?

Small Bass amp choice ( advice needed )
Downunderwonder replied to Greenguitarman's topic in Amps and Cabs
I often recommend the Rumble. -
Small Bass amp choice ( advice needed )
Downunderwonder replied to Greenguitarman's topic in Amps and Cabs
Ya would think that but you would be wrong. Ever hear the story about little Johnny given a bass for his birthday? Pretty much that! All my experience prior was jamming with experienced folks at open mics playing on the residents' gear. -
What kind of psycho goes after musicians at 50 quid a pop? Shades of Mick Mason.

Small Bass amp choice ( advice needed )
Downunderwonder replied to Greenguitarman's topic in Amps and Cabs
I dunno about that. In my case I had a p!ssant practice amp that did me no favours when it came to a set of drums being involved. My first real amp was top notch gear as I had some savings and an offer of a well paying gig. One of the open mic hosts needed a bassist and I was well aware I was needing firepower. -

Downunderwonder replied to Greenguitarman's topic in Amps and Cabs
I reckon a drummer would have to be fair smashing his kit to drown out a late model Rumble 100. So it's a bit more than a practice amp. -

You will have set them to off when originally signing up as I did. -

I have them all off 365 and forgot they even existed. More posts less garbage per scroll. You could toggle them on once a month and get your fill before turning them off. -
Don't sweat it Horse. I couldn't quite see where he was joining wrong dots so thanks to you and Bill for patiently explaining it yet again. The old clipping kills speakers yarn puts another experienced nose out of joint.

Walk on music for your gigs?
Downunderwonder replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
I only started to properly recognize it towards the end. Maybe they only used that section here. For a rock band I would be going with The Professionals' and The Avengers' themes. If they call you a bunch of pretentious gits for playing walk on music you can call them no nothing plebs for not seeing that it was a tribute to the recently late Laurie Johnson. -
I have some stuff that is probably a cousin of the GooGone mentioned already. DeSolveIt is orangey smelling, may have orange oil in there. As a goo remover it works as the necro bump WD40 poster described. WD40 is probably cheaper. If I vaguely remember some chemistry, to remove an oily stain it requires an oily dissolving agent or a detergent to break down the oil to make it dissolvable in water.

Or there's a loose wire in your sub.

Shim for changing the neck angle slightly.......
Downunderwonder replied to Chewie's topic in Repairs and Technical
There is another form of timber deflection under flexion aside from bending. It is plastic. You know it as sag. -

Lucky with the hardened adhesive! Usual tale of woe is much carpet left intact with adhesive that only comes off with much sacrifice of sanding belts and aggravation. -
Shim for changing the neck angle slightly.......
Downunderwonder replied to Chewie's topic in Repairs and Technical
If you tighten the screws beyond snug with that arrangement there is bending applied to the end of the neck. It's physics that cannot be denied. Another way of looking at it is all the force applied by the rear screws (and some) has a balancing force coming back from the shim. That is a force couple applying bending. You can see where the Wal neck has had good contact with the body pocket. Not much of it. The Wal neck may well be made of superior timbers and the screws only tensioned enough to hold the neck on and no more. I assume there has been no ski jumping but it might pay to have a good look! Back to the force couple. There is an equal and opposite couple between the sum of the body pushing back against the neck on the other side of the rear screws and the rear screws. Otherwise the neck would be rotating away from the shim. That couple is bending the neck between where it touches and the rear screws. -

How many quid worth of sanding belts died? Something I will never take on is stripping ratfur. -
Two Ampeg SVT210AVs vs One Barefaced Two10
Downunderwonder replied to Alfie's topic in Amps and Cabs
Not really. You lose the practicality of the 410 vertical stack without adding a whole lot of sensitivity going from 4 to 6 drivers. A 610 pile has rubbish dispersion. -

Awesome! If you sold it back to the guy his cat would probably p!ss on it for revenge. -

Downunderwonder replied to Alfie's topic in Amps and Cabs
BF would tell you straight. The limiting factor is your amp having limited power. Sensitivity becomes the most important statistic for the cabinet(s). A 410 is generally going to wipe the floor with a 210.
