Wise words

https://goo.gl/images/tFCttB What about this guy?

I half expected it to be Jools Holland!

I've seen this done by the bass player and other guitarist, it was really funny!

Tell 'em it's angled to aid dispersion etc and they'll snap 'em up, lol

Where required

Isn't this every blues jam night in the uk? If not we've been to the same one! Lol

At least they've used black screws....lol

What are you planning on using for monitoring?

That is interesting as our guitarist's sister is J'anna Jacoby! She says he's great mind you J'anna is a looker and you know what rod is like with the ladies!

Oh and you get "RTA" real time analysers, so you can see which eq channel is feeding back on the screen and cut just the problem one, 31 band eq on each output all separate so you can just pull the bugger that is causing it which doesn't really hurt the mix compared to say a 7 band or a low/mid/high.

Well it can help to get you in the ball park, I normally look for a similar venue from my previous gigs, wooden stage, low ceiling, hard floor, marquee etcetcetc.

If it's a regular venue you play at then you'll have all the settings saved from last time you played there, set it up the same as last time and use the same kit and mics and you only really need to make sure everything works at sound check, a budget version for a typical desk with knobs is to take photos of the knobs after each gig.

Sounds like you got it easy if he goes to the bar 'after' sound check, most would do the annoying rattling the kit thing for ages then disappear just when you need them for the only five minute slot you are allowed to sound check!

If I take my 2004 I have to get the stage tested for strength before the gig!

It's not too good on water.

The commute might be a bit difficult?

I've never measured any of mine, I used to swap between a Peavey Foundation which made a jazz look wide and a 2002 Ray.

That's plan B

I'm just thinking without the cone the motor would move freely and produce no sound but would have the variable characteristics of a speaker rather than a fixed value resistor. I've never had any amp flat out with a single cab anyway, either I had enough volume or the single cab farted out before, I'd imagine that is the case for most of us?

What would happen if you connected a extra speaker but with no cone attached I wonder?

If your amp is matched to your full setup of two speakers or more then ideally when it's only running one of the two cabs then it's only putting out around half of its oompf.

I've just fired off an email to strings and things, worth a shot.

I bet there is a 9 lb one out there, my 5 is only about 9 1/2.
