I've just finished my MiniRig Mk2. It was gigged for the first time last weekend and worked fine with a pair of Aguilar SL112s. The rack case was made to my specification by Flightcase warehouse and I can't praise them enough. They shaved days off their quoted delivery so I could have it in time for my gig and it was dimensionally perfect. The spacing of the rack strip was such that I could fix several rack trays which came from a Gator wireless mic case. The Boss Tuner and dbx compressor are screwed to these This mean't that the overall width was just larger than the GK Fusion Amp which is secured from underneath by bolts into the feet holes. Note the extra hole in the side for the GK cooling fan. There is still nothing in the top 1U tray so I've been wondering about fitting a small UV light.

European, or Shuko as they should be called, plugs don't have fuses in them. Fuses in the plug is UK quirk. In the UK the fuse is only there to protect the cable from the plug to the appliance. A 13A fused IEC power cable will be just fine.

[/quote] You'll need to put the Output Mode switches into Biamp and Stereo which should give you 500-watts Low Pass and 2 x 250-watts High-pass.

BFC is the equivalent of 3 x 4-ohm cabs AH-1000 has 3 x power amps, each of which is minimum of 4-ohms so you can power 3 separate 4-ohm cabs from it.

[quote name='TomRichards' timestamp='1330981919' post='1565888'] Yes I do, although I usually only see Joe when he is doing the annual Light of Day stuff here in January. Glad to make your acquaintance. [/quote] Likewise. The band I was in toured with Joe and Stone Caravan here a few years ago. I try to get to see him and the boys when they're over here as they always play one of our local pubs.

Welcome Tom. You must know Joe D'Urso and Mr Lou.

Welcome indeed.

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1330297590' post='1555500'] Thanks Dave, ho hum. Looks like a great sounding practice (as opposed to gigging) cab on my hands for the foreseeable future then! [/quote] if you can't take the impedance down then take the watts up and drive it from a bridged power amp that will deliver oodles of watts into 8-ohms.

It will either be 2 x 4-ohm speakers in series to make 8-ohms or 2 x 16-ohm speakers in parallel to make 8-ohms. Either way you can't rewire it to be 4-ohms. The Laws of Physics won't let you.

I think you'll find that the two 8-ohm sockets are in parallel. You can either plug in a pair of 8-ohm cabs or a single 4-ohm cab into one of the jacks and leave the other vacant.

[quote name='brensabre79' timestamp='1329304173' post='1540212'] I think you should make a full size rack and sell me your Boss tuner and the 1/2 rack [/quote] I'm just about to order a custom flightcase to take the Fusion, tuner and dbx so I will sell you the rack. In fact i have 2 of them to go.

1 x '71 Jazz 1 x MIJ '62RI Jazz 1 x MIJ '62RI Fretless Jazz 1 x MIJ Geddy Lee 1 x Shuker PJ5

Very sorry to hear this but unfortunately it happens. I know you've invested a lot of time in amassing the correct gear for the Bones gig but it's all knowledge and experience. Over the past couple of years I've been involved in several attempted start-ups which were never going to work and also rejoined a former band but after 3 rehearsals I found out that all the bad things that made me want to leave still existed and it was time to walk. Then up pops a great opportunity and I'm back with a regular band again. Have a break and eventually something is bound to come up that will be just what you want.

Since I made that rack last summer I have had to upgrade the head to a GK MB Fusion, which of course, doesn't fit. Now for Plan B.

After my enforced layoff for almost 3 years I was back in harness again last night having joined a established band a couple of weeks ago. Two full sets and a couple of encores to an enthusiastic crowd at The Swan in Farnborough. Negotiations for me to join have been going on for a couple of months which gave me ample time to learn their set list. A great mix of songs and not a 12-bar among them. Punters were happy, band were happy, I'm happy and we'll do it again next Friday. It's great to be back.
