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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Does round here. If it's a 'band' night it gets billed additionally as such but it's still an open mic for those that just want to jam solo. If a band shows up with gear it usually becomes an open jam. Loose as a goose and a great way to improve your ability to play off others' lead.

When I ran an open mic I only had one rig. OP would have been welcome to check it out. Around here that's pretty normal. Ymmv.

Get along to your local open mics.

I may have bought three lottery tickets in the last 30 years. Maybe only 2. Jackpot clearances. They give you a little less abysmal odds of winning exponentially more. Somehow the lizard brain fails the maths test when the rest of the decade it goes 'can't fool me with your shiny temptations'.

By reputation the 49'ers should smash them. Start right after the game so they can drown sorrows in sad cowboy tunes? If by chance they win they can celebrate to upbeat blues tunes. Win, win!

Looks like the loophole they exploit now is clipping the ticket on charged text messages to enter the free draw.

Those used to be common here. I haven't seen one in so long I forgot all about it. I guess the loophole was closed. Will look it up later.

Should get nil ski jump effect if your bridge end narrow shim straddles the screws and a half thickness shim at the other end likewise. Supporting nut end of neck on the last of the pocket while holding the other aloft on the shim definitely has a propensity to bend the neck between the held flat zone at the front of the pocket and the lifted zone at the back. If you only tighten the front screws to the point the neck touches down on the pocket then there is no great bending but who does that?

Illicit lottery operations not their bag. There will be a whole branch of Home Office dedicated to that.

My guess is the driver doing the delivery has no other drops to make it worth his mileage to go anywhere near the 'farm'.

Better still, agree to walk through the very sensible over sized sitting on the ground hoops of Overland on behalf of the buyer and get them to do all the arranging and paying so it is their insurance policy.

As the signal is being sent three different ways there should be a way to add stuff. I doubt there is the will though.

A good rule of thumb is if it stops getting appreciably louder when you turn it up then you should turn it back down a bit instead. Fix the lack of volume some other way, usually by getting guitar player to point his cab at his own head.

I must have missed the dual set presentation suggestion. Still don't see the point in normalising. It seriously masks an underperformance and the degree of boost is unknown.

Tone is highly dependent on volume. At lower volume our appreciation of the bass content lessens so it sounds more thin/weedy/trebly/shouty..pick your favourite descriptor, without changing any EQ. My vote would be naked truth with standard signal.

I thought the idea was to compare not make everything sound the same.
