Another enwhorsement chalked up!

Looks nothing like a Thunderbird, no siree, not at all. I think those two vertical lines down the body will put everybody off the scent for sure.

And still no mention of the Epiphone S310...

Lodestone will be chasing after them next... for that awful raised contour!

5 string is perfect for those dep gigs where they change the key on you. It''s amazing how pants Eb can sound when you are an octave higher than you should be... and no, you haven't got time to tune between songs.

Toys!

I was referring to the manufacture, rather than the fix. Me being me, I'd probably rip the whole thing off and go again from scratch. If the thing is peeling already, shouldnt be too difficult to rip it off and sand it all to prep for a new tolex cover.

I don't understand why this is so hard to achieve? A bit of carpet spray and that tolex will be going nowehere.

Although the better move would be to change the foh for XR18 and do it all in one box.

What mixer are you using? If you are using digital, you should be able to set a “brick wall” limiter on you aux. (20:1 compression ratio and set the threshold appropriately. Fast attack, slow release) just engaged brain - you’ve stated your mixer setup... - change your mixer or get an outboard compressor and dial in the above. But that’s going to be difficult to integrate with your setup. Best thing is always get your functionality in your main mixer. It’ll be better and work out cheaper too. Getting something like a XR12 would be a good Swiss Army knife for your setup. (Using it as a slave IEM mixer)

Never bitten, never shy

Im sure I remember seeing a pic of it.

All my eneloops have been subjected to the P-Touch tape... so I can track which ones I'm using.

The surrounding area is certainly a big factor...

It's the autosensing feature that generally works out ok (e.g. find free spectrum)... however, as soon as you mix brands that have different preset frequencies, the changes of finding intermodulation free frequencies decreases because unless the frequencies of the preset are identical between units, there will be intermodulation clashes.

Eneloops AAA. Get into the habit of charging them after each gig and they'll be fresh and ready for the next.

And this is when running multiple, different types of wireless starts becoming a headache...

When you say not on the same channel, what do you mean by that? An arbitary number on each device, or exact frequencies?

Could be the perfect cab for a Shadows tribute.

I think the answer is, as proven in the video, it will, no question. Off axis response with that Rode mic is considerable... especially when you compare to the behaviour observed with the other cab. So yes, all the other mics in stage, including vocal will be picking up more guitar than when you use another type of cab. It's a case of compromise... in the pub situation, the directional element that is typical observed by the audience will be greatly reduced... at the cost of more spillage into any open mics across the stage. It's how well you can balance that which will be key... because at the end of the day, having the vocals sit above the instrumentation is of highest importance.

Why would a competitor give away manufacturing know how?

Supposedly greater headroom, tighter in the bass and wider soundstage and a better, flatter response in the treble. Apparently very easy to drive, so you will get more volume on less power. (So for battery pack headphone amps, less power consumption)

I see the the KZ AS16s are now under 75 quid... (on ebay at least, with free p&p but do factor in your may get hit on import duty) so a budget universal 8 driver a side monitor (and it's a bit of a bass monster - and has wider soundstage than the ZS10 and AS10s) for way less than say a UE900... well, it's certainly a big hitter in terms of dipping your toes in the water before going custom.

Use masking tape to tape off one of the edges. Mix epoxy and using a fine syringe, apply the expoxy under the unmasked edge. Push down on to the cab. Any epoxy that spills goes onto masked edge. Remove masking tape on the unglued edge. Do the same in reverse for the other edge. Tada, all glued and that tolex won't be coming off again in a hurry* *This is a time consuming ballache of a job though but will put the problem to bed. Also, what is Alex's fascination with silver screws on black hardware?
