What are those speakers that look like they are from Maplin called?

You say tomato, I say tomato. I say db, you say...

[quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1456481967' post='2989411'] We've certainly covered some ground,17 pages and still no confirmation on the db situation or a playful pun, shame. [/quote] We've covered some groundfish also. It seems like the biggest unanswered question right now...

Although don't expect any answers re:db.

From start to fin, this thread has been stunning. It's still going too. :-)

Yellow sponges - you'll have to play with the thickness depending upon the density of the sponge and how much damping you want.

If you buy a decent enough PA speaker, then yeah, I would take a PA rig over a bass rig any day for my rig. A decent top will run as good, if not better than an equivalent bass cab. Of course, it all depends you having the preamp of your choice in between your bass and PA cab(s) to get what you want. A PA cab loaded with speakers with 4" voice coils. Yup. Yes please. I've not got experience of the cab that you have posted... so in this particular instance, your mileage may vary.

[quote name='bonzodog' timestamp='1456244679' post='2986988'] Could also cause problems if you have to adjust volume mid gig as it will be on back of speaker. [/quote] Nope. You'd adjust it on the preamp out.

Of course, the question is, Cream or jam first?

[quote name='Defo' timestamp='1456168659' post='2986221'] I mostly play gigs at pubs and clubs where there's no FOH, whenever I do have FOH I tend to see my rig as more of a safety blanket and statement of intent than anything else (what with monitors etc.) [/quote] Ha - way to scare people... roll 2 8x10s in... I like your style.

Tea and biscuits at Ashdown HQ sounds amazing. I wonder what an Ashdown afternoon tea is like... I want to know if everybody downs tools and chills out with the Rolling Scones.

Crumbs, that sounds a bit heavy.

No, it's simply crackers.

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1456235778' post='2986867'] Nice, even. [/quote] Genius. "Happy Face"

Visog didn't like it. Ah well, no use crying over spilt (malted) milk.

Has visog taken bourbon than he can handle with the B Social?

If you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit, join Ashdown's Club.

Sounds like a grand day out to be fair

Well I never... stumbled across these... https://www.soundonsound.com/sos/aug07/articles/qa0807_2.htm Seems like the ambient sound thing has been done with Westone too.

[quote name='woodster' timestamp='1456216676' post='2986599'] I have a Gruv Gear Fump which works very well!! [url="http://www.gruvgear.com/fump"]http://www.gruvgear.com/fump[/url] [/quote] I have one of the same... but they are a bit too muted for my tastes. Sponge pad under the string still works better for my needs.

It's all about Willin' for me.

[quote name='stevie' timestamp='1456154839' post='2986001'] [/quote] That's the spirit. Well done. Certainly gets my seal of approval.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1456150411' post='2985902'] Nothing sounds as good as an all-valve amp. [/quote] I've never liked valve on bass. Guitar yes, bass no.

No experience of that psu but the higher voltage ones put out fairly low current so may not have enough oomph to power any digital pedals. Your bog standard boss type analogue pedals will be fine though.
