Stop it. I'm trying to be good

Thanks @Woodinblack yes everything the same at home. It just seems to play up when I don't want it to. What makes no sense is why it connects to one tablet but not the other.

I use a Behringer X Air X18. I have an android tablet (call it tab 1) I save for use with it and my personal android tablet (tab 2) as back up. I use an external router. Here's the thing. At home I plug it all in and connect the tablets seamlessly. Get to a gig or rehearsal and tab 1 hangs on the 'searching' screen, forever. tab 2 seems to work just fine, but it's not ideal as my set list and dots are on it too. Any idea why tab 1 behaves this way?And more importantly what steps can I take in a gig set up situation if this happens while I'm setting up? I have no ideas beyond standing there looking bewildered. This doesn't seem to help.

I often read about the dangers of not using proper speaker cables, but tbh I only learned if the existence of such cables when I joined Basstalk. For the preceding decades I used the same cables as I used for my instruments with absolutely no ill effects. I'd often wondered if this whole speaker cable thing was a kings new clothes situation

True story

Let me join the Lidl battery love in. When working as a photographer they powered all of my flash guns and the same batteries, years later, power various bits of music gear.

Thanks for the heads up. Although I did hear that Bill Wyman actually played most of the bass parts on Beatles recordings.

What was the venue mate?

Thank you for taking the time to rip and share these. Fascinating stuff.

Yep, set up the pa yesterday and it needs some switch cleaner in some crucial parts

Bought a pedal from Tony which arrived the very next day in excellent condition. Happy to recommend this most excellent Basschatter

Oh my goodness. I think a bit of wee just came out. That is gorgeous. I love both my Sandbergs with a passion but this one. *faints away*

Never looked closely at pick up / string alignment I'm afraid, but I do love my BT P

I tend not to discuss it as I encounter so much aggression and feeble stereotyping from people.

It's a personal choice. I choose not to wear or use it.

Did a vid of this test but sausage fingered it so just sound I'm afraid, but it gives a fairly good example of the range

I've been looking at the red one. Really quite striking. It's great to know we can choose to use or not use leather.

If I were to see one at £80 I'd be very tempted.

Good work!

No @Al Krowthere are others here far more HB savvy than me! However, I will say I don't mind those kind of comments as he's really just trying to describe a step up in quality. If you think the range is poor then he's saying these are good. If you think the rest are great he's saying these are excellent.
