That'll be about 10% across the board?

Just checked my rig settings - It would seem I start level & tweak accordingly................

Back in the Stone Age I was sharing a stage with Shakin' Stevens - the lead gitard has just got an amp (Fender?) with eq, & asked if I could help set it up (what did I know?) - we landed up with everything level.................

Ahem......this is a family show............

..........And that's why some are professionals.......... It's always a delight to work with crew (& musos) who know their stuff..........

Stunning thread - thank you for sharing with us ........absolute respect & congratulations!

DISCO LADY JOHNNY TAYLOR-1976 - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3JkEoQ0Cz8

As far as I am aware, he was a millionaire before he went in.................

I was married to someone who wouldn't listen to Jerry Lee or David Soul......... ........I mean, really? ....jeez

Trawl Crack Convertors - almost certainly one within 20 miles (thieves are lazy barstewards)

I had an accountant who charged for absolutely everything (not only that, they helped fook up a 180k house sale) I'm now with another outfit who advertised 'no charges for phone advice'. Seven years on, they are still good - and about 30% cheaper than the other mob.

If your accountant is one who charges everytime you call -CHANGE HIM There are plenty that do'nt.

I've possibly posted this before - years ago I lived in an end terrace cottage. I got on ok with the adults, but the late teenage kid hated me (why?). One weekend, with the parents away, he mounted his stereo speakers on the adjoining wall and proceeded to turn the volume up. I tried to raise some reaction by knocking on the front door, but this onset was obviously deliberate............. I faced one of my sound system boxes against the party wall and played Count Ossie Mystic Revelation of Rastafari at about 100watts, set to 'repeat'.......... I went down the pub, until around chucking out time. .....I never had a moments problem from that day on.............. (yeah, I know, I'd probably be in loads of trouble if I did it now)

I'd think about where the amp is - does it face away from the neighbnour? Too close to walls can cause a vibration - I know it's obvious............

Big valve amps - great in my lounge, but for road use I have a Crown Drivecore XLS2000 (and Barefaced cabs)

IMO they are a well-oiled machine - it's nice to sometimes just sit & watch pro musicians earning their wages - no fluffs, no moodies, a joy to watch. They are simply good at what they do. I flicked over to JH a couple of times, and soon went back to Chic - But then, I LIKE slick.................

Been watching the Nile Rogers production line - very slick.................

I smell the word 'Barefaced' lurking around here somewhere..... (yes I'm biased, I own two Dubsters)

My rule of thumb with non-English amp ratings......... Halve it (to bring it to rms, sort of) and halve again because they will be quoting peak music levels.............. so 1300watts becomes 325 real watts (across two boxes?)

I thought Craiglist was just for dodgy massage ads...........

"As a general rule, a display of goods at a fixed price in a shop window or on a shelf in a self-service store is an invitation to treat and not an offer. An offer may be made by a prospective buyer. At this stage, the retailer may accept or reject that offer. "Similar principles would seem to apply where a supplier of goods or services indicates their availability on a website: that is, the offer would seem to come from the customer (eg. when he clicks the appropriate button) and it is then open to the supplier to accept or reject that offer." (Extract from Chitty Rule of Conracts)

^^^^^^ Shop. Distance selling is covered by a different set of regulations, including the right to return simply unwanted stuff. Privately, Internet retailers admit that their customers are frequently a nightmare...........

I love the non-customers who try and bang stuff back for refund just because they've gone off the idea. I usually get treated to a load of rant and 'I know my rights' I always suggest that they chat to CAB who can put the thing up to Trading Standards if it's justified. Never had one come back at me yet........

A price in a shop is legally an 'invitation to treat' it is not a legal contract - most retailers will honour a price, but they don't have to. (I've been in retail management for over 20years). I note that the item in question is suddenly out of stock btw..........
