[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1505747774' post='3373974']A 33L per driver cab is much too small for the 2510. The ideal volume is 60L per driver, and that's not inclusive of the port. [/quote] But if we took a driver out, filled in the gap and then ported it, we'd have a 66l, ported 1x10" cab?

You can get elements of coupling by place the amp against a wall or in a corner. So, on a stand off the floor but in a corner may have more than enough coupling for your application. I solved the problem using [url="https://www.thomann.de/gb/markbass_mark_stand.htm"]a fold up wedge[/url]. The cab is on the floor but pointed at my ears. I didn't want to lose the coupling effect (or have to carry!) a proper amp stand.

I sold Chris one of my GK amps, great guy and swift payment. Buy with confidence.

I sold Ian my Joyo overdrive pedal, nice guy and swift payment. Recommended!

[/quote] Completely agree, I just sold mine as I don't have any passive cabs any more but mine gave me years of trouble-free, great-sounding, service. I'd buy another straight away if I ever had any 'real' cabs again.

All of those inputs should be electronically identical, you can use it any way around. What is it you're trying to do?

[quote name='Kirky' timestamp='1505390035' post='3371529'] I had 2 Gen 2 Compacts and decided I wanted a single 4 ohm cab. Just fancied a change so I went for the TKS S212 which is very nice. However I am finding it a but heavy (it isn't really, but I'm getting old) so am considering a move back to Barefaced. Quite tempted with the FR800 as my amp is heavy too. [/quote] [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1505390810' post='3371551'] I'm sure the FR800 is a stellar cab but there are many fantastic light weight amps around theses days. [/quote] They're not the lightest things in the world (though still bloody light) at 15kg but they are quite deep front to back which makes them harder to carry than you'd expect.

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1505222106' post='3370327'] Why are you using a wireless? Si [/quote] [quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1505225688' post='3370361'] If you can still play in time when you cross a 40ft stage then you don't need to worry about latency at all. [/quote] [quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1505228128' post='3370383'] The Smooth Hound is a great piece of kit for live work, which I can highly recommend (and 8ms latency is frankly neither here nor there for that - we have much bigger issues if our drummer decides to occasionally go off at express train speeds on a track!) But I'm with Si on this, not sure why you'd use a wireless for recording rather than a decent old fashioned cable (which has next to no latency)? [/quote] Indeed, I'm talking about playing live. Thanks for all the responses guys!

Thanks guys, I think I might swap to a wireless with a shorter delay anyway just to make sure...

Bad idea, the sound will be 90 degrees out of phase. *Not a serious post.

See, on the other hand, I always used the 50Hz filter on my QSC. Fantastic amps either way.

Bumping this to see if anyone has any more thoughts. I found it as I'm concerned about my 8ms Smoothhound working with a planned purchase of a "Less than 7ms" GK Plex....

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1504953578' post='3368509'] Me neither until a recent conversation with another BC-er! [/quote] What was your conversation? Just curious.... There's a standard 'pro' level of gear such as Ashdown, GK, etc and once you get above that into Barefaced and other boutique stuff, I don't really think that there is a 'better'. Different, sure. But could you look at something like one of Mike Arnopol's designs and say that was any better or worse than something that Greenboy did?

I sold mine to go ampless. And then ended up with a pair of FR800s for, you know, ampness.

Always at least the kick. Not for volume as such, just for feel. Some venues get the snare, a very few awkward or massive rooms get the lot.

[quote name='petetexas' timestamp='1504648767' post='3366392'] Hi jack , What is the magnet fix suggested by Leo Fender ? [/quote] Show the picture again Howard.... @BassDoc.... Basically, you put science classroom style cylinder magnets on the G pole pieces to make them higher. Edit, ok, so you can't tag members in this forum!

[quote name='drTStingray' timestamp='1504478982' post='3365187'] Do you mean recorded or when heard whilst stood a couple of feet in front of your amp? If they are 3 band instruments have you tried altering the mid range? That usually has a major impact (you can hear the change by playing G string harmonics also). If 2 band boost the mid range on your amp or drop the tone controls back a bit to introduce more mid range. [/quote] Both recorded and live. And headphones, old school rigs, straight into a frfr cab, everywhere. It's not an eq issue at all, otherwise it would affect equivalent notes played on the other 3 strings. It's simple, the whole string sounds thinner and weaker. Now, I'm but complaining as such. I loved my first Ray so much I bought another, but only because I successfully mitigated (although not cured) the issue via the pole piece trick. Next time I might try the magnet fix as suggested by Leo Fender himself.

[quote name='drTStingray' timestamp='1504454234' post='3364964'] Firstly try and check the front of house sound as it may not be producing the same effect as you're hearing. If still an issue, if you drop the bass boost back a little you will find more mid range will appear in the sound which may even it out. Failing all that, boost the mid range on the amp a little. I have never felt the need to mess around with the pick up poles on a Stingray (I have 9 of them) - and have found them to produce an even FOH sound and record evenly also, across the strings - I'm not even convinced it makes any difference at all (other than lowering the resale value!!). [/quote] Conversely, both of mine exhibit the quiet G.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1504170745' post='3363072'] USB output to charge an ipad or phone would actually not be a bad shout... the amount of gigs I have been on where people have forgotten chargers but have a charging cable in the car... (car won't charge an iPad though) [/quote] Best thing I ever did for gigging was put a £5 USB charger in the power strip on the back of the pa rack.

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1503862400' post='3361227'] Hey Jack, as far as I am aware - and I am happy to be corrected, Linux isn't so good for DAW capabilities, certainly in comparison to Windows or Mac machines. So, my first suggestion for recording software that will run on both Windows and Mac is [url="https://www.reaper.fm"]Cockos REAPER[/url] Which is a blinding application for the money. I have used it for years including some pro-release material. It's a great application that doesn't suck all of your machine resources so will be good for lower power machines - I would however at least suggest a minimum of 8Gb RAM and say an i5 processor (quad core for a Mac). That's pretty much all you'll need, but you will have to install the drivers for the XR18 of course, plug in VIA USB and set up the inputs in the application so that each channel records on to a separate track. Funnily enough that's exactly what we were doing last week with our own XR18, but our laptop this time was running Logic Pro instead. Had I have had the XR here, I would have created you a template to mail over to play with but it's at a different location. [/quote] Thanks Dood, I take it the DAW is what I'm using to edit the tracks after recording, is that also what I need to record in the first place? Sucks that Linux support isn't great, I'm not doing Windows ever again, I wonder if any of the rest of the band have decent pcs.....

Hey guys, please take it easy on me, I'm new to recording. I've been using a Behringer XR18 as my main mixer for ages and I would like to start using the recording function. As I understand it, the mixer has the capability to take a pre-everything feed directly from the inputs and route that down a USB cable to a pc. Great, I'm fine with that and that makes sense to me. The problem is, what do I have on the other end? I presumably need a pc (a laptop as this will be on a gig) that is recording that USB input? Some questions that I have: I'm a massive pc nerd, so at home I have a nice i7 6 core/12 thread machine with 32gb of ram. That's what I'll use to edit, process, mix and master these tracks. My laptops, however, are crap. I have a tiny netbook (no power at all but at least it's got an ssd) and an ancient core 2 duo Dell with 2gb of ram and a slow hard drive. Will either of these be suitable for simply capturing the tracks on the gig? The Dell would be the preferred option as it runs Windows (so software recommendations should be easier) and it's so totally unstealable that I'd feel safe with it at a gig. Secondlly, what kind software do I use to capture the recording live and then process it later? My main desktop is linux and I imagine that there are lots of possible options for many operating systems (and you'll all have your own favourites), but what's the name for the [i]type[/i] of software that I need? Once I know where to start I'll go off and better educate myself rather than bother you folks with inane beginner questions. Thanks, Jack

Oh man, I've been considering something very similar since I saw Flea playing that. Very envious. You gigging anywhere near me any time soon? :-)
