I am thinking about changing all my gear over. Currently we use 2 subs and 2 tops for FOH - (custom built with Rcf and JBL drivers - very good if a little tatty, andhuge), powered by QSC RMX 2450 amps, and 4 thoman monitors powered by some crest or other. But is is all massive and the amp rack is as heavy as me with crossover and effects in it. Desk is an Allen and Heath GL 2400 24 channel. LExicon effects rack unit. However, I am fed up with the size and weight of it, so am toying with changing the desk for a Allen and Heath Mixwizard 16:2, which is just about big enough, effects in it, and smaller. And then running an all active FOH system - and would love some EV SBa760 subs with some 3x360a tops. But this is expensive, so might go for MAckie SRM450 aabd SW1501s, which could be added to later. Trouble is, no one seems to be that keen on Mackie stuff on the web, so it is nice to read the above poster singin its praises. Any other experiences?

I would beu p for this but live too far, sorry.

I just looked at the manual - it is fine I reckon, and on Talkbas it is mentioned alot. Might give it a whirl and pick up a nice beefy 4*10. Anyone got one....a trip to "for sale" beckons

Right.. I love my Markbass minicmd 12 p combo. But I am doing some gigs where it is not really loud enough - one of my bands, the PA does all the work, and in another I have to blast out some proper stage volume, and it struggles - well, I blew the tweeter, so I guess that tells the tale. Now, the main sound I am using is all sansamp, with the MB head section all totally flat. I go straight into an EBS multicomp (great), and from that into a Sansamp BDDI. This basically gives me my sound - big, fat, ballsy, and cutting when necessary (hence the tweeter incident lol). Now, I see that folk use the RBI (bigger rackmount version of BDDI plus a mid I think?) and a power amp, into cab of choice. But has anyone or does anyone use the BDDI pedal version as their preamp, and run straight into a power amp. I have a QSC RMX 1450 lying around for the purpose. So, anyone any thoughts or direct experice of this? If it works, all I need to do is get a nice big cab (well, a 4 or 2 ohm 4*10), and I am away. Cheers Chris

I thinkit is a bit more serious, as the above is not improving things. I reckon the pot needs replacing, but can I just replace the bass pot, or do I need to replace the whole pre? Forgive me if this is a really stoopid question?

cool. how much do I need to take it apart by - or can I just take the pot off and let some get in down the shaft....as it were?

Hi Wonder if anyone can help. The bass pot on my SR4 is not turing as smoothly as it should. What can I use to lubricate it? Is it an easy job? Or will it need a new pot? Ideally I would like to do it myself to save a bit of cash - is there something i can just squirt into it? Cheers all Chris
