This is a NL210 ? In fully working order, the best you're likely to get for it is £350 . Are you sure that the fartiness is a fault with the driver and not a cable or some piece of loose fluff resting on the cone? As it is, I don't think it's worth a great deal, because of the difficulty and cost of replacing the drivers. Replacing the drivers is difficult because they're custom 4 Ohm Eminence. EA will charge in the order of £300 for a pair of replacements. If you're lucky you might get re-cone kits and then you'd need to find someone to fit them. Deltalite II 2510s might be close,enough they're only readily available in 8Ohm and will cost you £205 for a pair from Lean. You could bung in another make of driver, but there's no guarantee that the cab is going to sound the same, or even OK.

Don't forget that it's been translated out of Italian, so it's easy to see how that could have gone wrong. It doesn't much matter whether it's 300 or 500 watts, what really makes it sound louder is having more drivers moving more air.

It doesn't matter whether you use two separate leads to connect the cabs, or whether you daisy chain them. The amp will see a single 4Ohm load.

Might be worth them talking to a drum specialist such as Soundattak http://www.soundattak.co.uk/home/default.asp . I bought a small Mapex kit from them a couple of years ago at a very good price and they were most helpful.

Very nasty. I think next time I put something valuable up for sale on Basschat I'll put a watermark on the pictures, if I can figure out how to do it.

I can play a lot of different instruments, but I've never got anywhere with drums. It requires the kind of physical co-ordination of all 4 limbs that you've either got, or you haven't!

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1349450590' post='1826533'] i most certainly won't be using Parcel Monkey or Night Freight again. It seems that the former take the money from the punter and the latter does the job. Only if the latter doesn't do the job (as has happened), they're both pretty clueless, my cab's still where it was, and Parcel Monkey have still charged me for the pleasure? Come back Parcelforce, all is forgiven [/quote] Yes, I've had a bad experience when someone else used ParcelMonkey to ship something fairly valuable to me and it disappeared for 3 days, though it did eventually re-appear safe and sound. I guess if you pay peanuts you get parcelmonkeys.

Sorry to hear that. I enjoyed Nile Rodgers book a great deal - if you haven't read it and are going to be laid up for a while longer, PM your address and I'll post it to you.

[quote name='machinehead' timestamp='1349205519' post='1823340'] I spotted a Barefaced cab on Sarah Beenies programme "Double your House for Half the Money" just now. [/quote] Frank, you need to get out more. Trust me!

Just about OK on a Vintage (good luck finding one second hand, no longer available new). [IMG]http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f123/cr0ut0n/10102009205-1.jpg[/IMG] Not great on a midget: [IMG]http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f123/cr0ut0n/10102009204-1.jpg[/IMG]

[quote name='SteveK' timestamp='1348874348' post='1819496'] And, how the hell does that guy make a mandolin sound so good? [/quote] Some judicial use of phaser and a humungous analog delay, so I'm told! It's actually a Baglama - I had to do some research to find that out. 'That guy' is Lu Edmonds, who played with The Damned. I wouldn't have described myself as a PIL fan, but they were excellent last night, really enjoyed them.

Sorry to hear that Jack, get well soon. Must be all those heavy basses, what you need is a Status Vintage ;-)

Sorry but I won't be able to make this one - got a gig on Saturday and various other stuff to do. I hope you all have a great day.

[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1348695220' post='1817167'] My flight-case has one similar to this? [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/leather-strap-handle-33255"]http://www.maplin.co...ap-handle-33255[/url] [/quote] That looks good - thanks for the thought. I'd never have considered Maplins for something like this. Thank you.

Can anyone point me to a UK supplier of replacement guitar case handles?

There is already a thread for this - http://basschat.co.uk/topic/164298-show-us-your-guitar-rig/

The Korg G5 takes a lot of current - don't remember exactly but I think it's something like 1.5 - 2.0 amps. I found that with a multi-supply, plugging in the Korg meant that most of the other pedals stopped working and other weird sh*t started happening. I'd start by looking up the power rating of the 5way adaptor and see what it's rated at.

[quote name='BottomE' timestamp='1346868614' post='1794307'] I bought an EBS Multicomp and put it in the effects loop of a Little Mark II amp. It is quite easy to use and if i weren't as lazy as i am i would probably stick with it. To me it was noticeably more effective in the loop than just running my bass straight into it and then the pedal into the amp. [/quote] The LM II is shipped with a parallel effects loop, so if you run the compressor in the loop you get a blend of compressed and uncompressed signal, which I'd expect to be less 'effective' . Unless of course you've re-jumpered your amp so that the loop is in series.

What's the effects unit? Most will happily take a mono input and will still do some kind of stereo processing to the output. Use Aux 2 to send the input to the FX unit, make sure it's set to 'post fader' if you have a choice. Plug the stereo outputs from the FX unit into the desk L/R return, and assign the return signal to the main mixer bus. Plug the mixer outputs straight into the amp.

I've just gone through a similar exercise. There are two things to consider: Even if the mixer has built-in effects, you still need an aux send to pipe the signal to the effect. This needs to be a post-fader send in order to be useful. For a monitor mix, you need a pre-fader aux send, otherwise you'll get the front-of-house mix in your monitors. So for your requirements, you need four aux sends, three of which need to be assignable to pre-fader. Some of the mixers in your list (the Behringer and the Mackie, and maybe others), have only three aux sends, only two of which can be used as pre-fade. General rule of thumb seems to be that if you want lots of monitor mixes, you end up with a much bigger desk such as a Mackie Onyx 1640i or the 24-channel Behringer, can't remember the number but the footprint of these units gets much bigger. The Presonus has 4 aux sends which can be configured, and it looks like a great piece of kit. I was put off by the price and what seemed to me to be a pretty steep learning curve, and ended up with a Yamaha MG206C and an external box for reverb. Be interesting to see if any of the presonus users had trouble getting their heads round it. I've also found that setting up 3 different monitor mixes can be a complete nightmare, much more difficult than getting a decent FO sound. It would be much easier if everyone had IEM and the volume on stage was easier to control.
