Do we include Mr Grohl in the surviving grunge singers list? I would personally.

At least he didn't get to twang any G strings that day then!

[quote name='Marty Forrer' timestamp='1495151072' post='3301740'] People who struggle to hear themselves don't need vertical 4x10s, they need better quality cabs. Barefaced, Greenboy and BFM are an example of cabs (there are more) that are quality. Most cabs from your local music shop are not quality. They are built with cheap drivers and built to market requirements, not driver requirements. They are also built to maximise profit. An example of a quality cab is my Greenboy Fearful 12/6. One little light cab (32lbs) and it can take a thousand watt power amp. The dispersion, both near and far, is amazing. It will handle a low F# string no problem. Two of them is just ridiculous! Just my opinion. [/quote] So your not using a 4x10 cab then, maybe there's a reason the manufacturers you mention aren't big on 4x10 cabs, Barefaced only started making one recently and it's apparently not a conventional 4x10 for the reasons of dispersion, crap cabs will always be crap I agree but your comment makes no sense, a cab of the same brand with the speakers laid out differently wouldn't suffer the same dispersion problem, the physics of the 4x10 is the problem which you've overcome with a 12+6 arrangement. Fwiw those greenboy cabs are fantastic and probably what I'd go for if I needed a new cab!

There will definitely be something in the small print about the meter being physically read (not by you) periodically, the tamper seals and visual inspection for condition can't be checked online either.

https://www.thomann.de/gb/db_technologies_opera_12.htm they've just had a redesign of the grilles too.

The DB Technology stuff sits between the Alto/Behringer stuff and the RCF range but they're owned by RCF, we've got the RCF735s for FOH but the DB 10" ones for the wedges and they sound pretty good, the 12 or 15 inch ones would be cracking and worth the investment over the Alto imo.

And glad rags!

Yep hanged, how sad and although I know little about his personal life my thoughts go to his close friends and family.

Cucumber sandwich anyone?

I'm not convinced unless it's macca.

There's a few people on here using a pair of the already quite tall vertical Genz 2x12T 4 ohm cabs with the Genz shuttle 12.0 heads which put 600watt into each cab separately at the same time, talk about trouser flapping! 4x12 vertical, 1200 watts and two adjustable tweeters, lovely.

[quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1495102605' post='3301252'] Waiting for the first smart meter hack that under-reports usage..... Update - already done.. [/quote] I had a digital gas meter, only 8 years old maximum at the time as we've only had mains gas in the village since 2000,they wrote to me saying "it's reached the end of it's serviceable life", when the guy came to swap it for a standard old style one he said people have worked out that if the battery goes flat the reading is lost then it's impossible to charge them! those people have worked out a way of making the battery go flat.

[quote name='Barking Spiders' timestamp='1495098615' post='3301207'] Yes, I was more than gobsmacked to've just read that in the online Guardian. Soundgarden were the only band from the grunge scene i like, definitely a cut above.Saw them a few years ago playing Brum. A quality. live act. . [/quote] Was that the gig where both Ampegs failed and he gave the bass away to a friend in the audience?

Biggest shocking one since Kurt for me, my immediate circle of proper friends from school, college and uni etc are all massive fans, most of us passed our driving tests between around 1993-1995 so most journeys involved some sound garden, not crashing a car while air drumming to rusty cage is a skill in itself! In fact I think my friend might have crashed his Nissan micra through a hedge whilst enjoying some sound garden. Ah man

If it was the drummer I suppose it would be similar to playing to a click, drummer doesn't have any live fold back and plays to his/her click or along with the backing track then the group play along with the drums being streamed, as long as the drummer and track had a count in it wouldn't matter as long as you are streaming it one way if you like?

Totally pissed off at this one! His new solo stuff sounded really good to me, properly shocked

I still see musicman as stingrays only* *I still fancy a big Al 5 SSS though

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1494970661' post='3300149'] My Jaydee Supernatural had a mini toggle switch between the volume & tone controls for the active circuit. [/quote] Yes I've seen a switch as well as the Jack just like a push pull active passive switch but they've still got the stereo Jack, leaving one on passive would stop the drain though I'd think, no such option on a genuine musicman though.

Everyone knows the audio business is a cut throat environment to work in.

You're both wrong it was "Adequate"

Try comparing their twin blade razor to a single blade one! You can't comment on the results or any packaging claims until you have your own range of razors in the market place though

I must admit I've never understood the concept of why someone should have to make their own better version of anything to be allowed to question a manufacturers specs?

I keep a pointy stick for barefaced threads, when it goes quiet I give them a prod Tbf that is the claim made that the barefaced fans above said they couldn't see anywhere.

I don't understand the charts really but I can read so comparing a BF 12" against any other 12" is neither here nor their when we should be comparing it against two from another manufacturer! Alex's words, "In short: If you want to compare like for like performance, compare one of our 12"s with TWO of anyone else's 12"s" So let's see these charts please
