Things I'd like manufacturers to do...


la bam

Recommended Posts

This solid thing is hopefully slightly flexible, because when the attachment to the board is not rigid enough, flexing units will try to break each other. There are models where the plugs are not on the straight line. The allow some movement. I still prefer soldering cables to angled plugs.

I doubt a 500w Elf would be that small. Double the size at least to get a big enough power amplifier plus cooling 

To make it double the volume enclosure it would be less than 1.3x on each side length.

 

Curiously a bigger Elf would need a bit bigger again cooling fan because it's radiating proportionally less heat over the surface than the little one by a factor of 1.3. This might not be too hard because it would have room for 1.3x bigger diameter fan which should be more efficient...

 

Complicated stuff in application this thermodynamics malarkey. I believe sorting the cooling kept Elf from going to production for quite awhile.

@Ashdown Engineering - revive the brilliant graphic preamp from the Superfly/Superduperfly and make it a stand-alone pedal.

 

All bass manufacturers - make more headless basses. As evidence that this is required, see the endless whingeing on the previous five pages about headstocks.

But the only thing uglier than an ugly headstock is no headstock.

You can get cranked ones for that. Can be found in the more specialist pages of the Ann Summers catalogue.

Fender - sort out the consistency of your QC. Its a joke that a top line MIA can have more flaws and gaps than some of the better MIMs, and even more unfathomable that the situation can be reversed for the next randomly selected example of each.  Unless you go to a shop and eyeball each instrument individually you never know what you're getting, and in this long distance internet biying age thats a significant ballache. Sort it out!

I had this experience trying a Fender bass in DV247.

The neck gap on the mij was super tight...you couldn't get a single Rizla paper in whereas the MIA you could have got in half a packet. 

 

When I see stuff like this it just confirms my bias

Musicman, dump that "toys are us" plastic battery holder and go back to the chrome plate, and sort the pole pieces out making them in the middle of the string. or even alan key poles to move up and down like the Wal and G&L,
