[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1343388417' post='1749934'] I think you'll get better results running a lead from your Headphones output on the PC to the pair of RCA red/white sockets marked [color=#800000][b]2T RTN [/b][/color]on your mixer. Then make sure that you've engaged both buttons [color=#800000][b]2T RTN to MON [/b][/color]and [color=#800000][b]AUX to MON [/b][/color](just to be on the safe side). Take the main [color=#800000][b]OUTPUT [/b][/color]slider down to zero, plug in your headphones, turn UP the [color=#800000][b]MON [/b][/color]volume control, and see what happens. Using the Headphones output on the PC should kill the sound from the PC speakers. Taking the [color=#800000][b]OUTPUT [/b][/color]slider right down should kill the sound from the cab. Running everything through [color=#800000][b]MON [/b][/color]should feed the headphones. [/quote] Seeems a bit of a convoluted way of doing things. With effectiverly the smae mixer I run the bass directly into a mic/line channel and the PC into a stereo channel. Headphones monitor the mix out. Simples.

Neil I use the larger brother of this mixer with headphones and a PC. Have you tried plugging the bass directly into a mixer line input using an instrument cable? Turn the channel level control up to 10 and then increase the channel gain control until the LEDs start to indicate. The grey routing switches just above the mon control should all be out. Main fader at 0 Turn up the MON control. If the LEDS indicate but you have no sound in the headphones then it could be your adaptor.

[/quote] Thanks Pete. Sorted.

[quote name='tonyf' timestamp='1341756526' post='1723592'] Dave, do you know if Flightcase Warehouse would be able to do an ABS version? [/quote] As far as I am aware ABS cases are mass produced by injection moulded and therefore not suitable for custom builds. [quote name='tonyf' timestamp='1341756526' post='1723592'] If it's not too personal a question, what was the approximate cost on this? [/quote] The basic case was just short of £120. I already had the rack trays which came from a Gator wireless mic rack case. The rest I made.

You mean like this: Case was custom made to my design by Flightcase Warehouse. I drilled the bottom of case to line up with the feet holes in the amp which stands off on spacers. Also drilled a hole in the side to line up with the MB Fusion fan. It fits neatly on top of the Schreoder 1212L and make a wicked compact loud lightweight rig. Will take picture when it stops raining, , and I can retrieve it all from the car. This was version #1. I still have a spare rack case like this for sale but it has no front or rear covers. 3U rack strip at front only and about 300mm deep.

Another excellent deal with Nick. Thanks.

[quote name='MoJoKe' timestamp='1341440711' post='1719283'] Try clicking... its a PDF!! [/quote] Then why isn't it a .pdf? Firefox doesn't know what to do with it. Acrobat Reader is not offered as an option.

so what's a .ipb file then?

Welcome Joel [quote] Believe me, no-one is more anal about proofreading errors than me. Some of you may have read my books. When an error makes it into one of them, I’m ready to kill someone! With BGM, the assistant editor and I work really hard to nail any grammar/spelling/punctuation screw-ups before publication. In the new issue (Geddy Lee cover), there’s just one boo-boo that I’ve seen. Ten points for anyone who spots it… [/quote] Ah you mean the one in Alex's article.

A typically suitable switch is [url="http://uk.farnell.com/eaton/7694k4/switch-toggle-4pdt-15a-250v/dp/1383063"]http://uk.farnell.co...250v/dp/1383063[/url] Wired as diagram.

You can make it 2-ohm/8-ohm switchable using a high-current 4-pole change-over toggle switch.

Nick Unfortunately the MM pick-up and the pre-amp work together. If you change the pre-amp to anything other than the MM then you'll lose the coil switching. It is possible to replicate the coil switching using a multi-pole switch but you'll get a volume change between settings and you need to rewire the pickup slightly. i.e. separate the coils and add an extra wire. I went through several combinations (East, OBP3, Duncan, Bartolini) and settled with an Alnico Nordstrand MM5.3 pick-up and a stock MM pre-amp. It works for me.

I also plan to be there.

Recently agreed to buy a Schroeder 1212L from Bob. A faultless and very quick transaction. Cab was depatched the same day and arrived very quickly. Brilliant sounding cab and I'm well pleased.

100 watts.
