Is it properly rack-mountable?

Two much better photos from last Saturday's In Isolation farewell gig:

But those retailers chose which courier service they use. Therefore they are responsible when the courier service messes up.

My warning has now gone. Is it possible to find out what it was for? AFAIK I've never had a warning here on Basschat, and the section for the warning on Guitarchat doesn't even exist in my profile on Basschat. Edit: Still can't post in General Discussion.

+1 for using a bicycle box. Much more heavy duty than any guitar/bass shipping boxes. You will need to cut it down to size though.

I've reported my own post so hopefully it will attract the attention of someone with an answer. Not being able to post in General Discussion until I have made 5 posts elsewhere is a bit crap. General Discussion is where the interesting topics are. Does this restriction also apply on the current version of Basschat?

Unfortunately the simple answer is that there is no simple answer. Don't use Yodel or Evri because they are mostly crap. All the other delivery services except Parcel Force will charge a premium to deliver to many parts of Scotland and NI. Parcel Force can't be used because they won't insure musical instruments for the amount most people on here require. Sorry...

Just had a look at Guitarchat logging in using my Basschat profile. For some reason I can't post on any of the threads. Also in my profile I have "1 warning point - No restrictions being applied" but no indication of what it is for. No wonder hardly anyone is using the site.

Occurred twice today using Safari on a Mac. On both occasions the ad failed to render on screen properly, but at the same time it prevented clicking any of the links on the page requiring me to use to back button on the browser to escape.

Strange how people still think that the size of the individual speakers is the most important factor in how a cab will sound. While the combined driver areas in all your cabs plus the x-max of those drivers will be important in the maximum loudness achievable, the "sound" of a cab is more influenced by its design - overall size/volume, port size and design, rigidity etc.

The big advantage of the Virtual Drummer in Logic is that it is supposed to be able to produce new patterns based on the rhythmic elements of other tracks that have already been recorded/programmed. However as I said in practice the styles are quite limited to very mainstream genres.

Jamstix seems to get a lot of decent reviews. Make sure it will generate the sorts of drum patterns you want. In theory Logic's virtual drummer is a great idea; in practice it has yet to produce a pattern I would want to use for my music. I find the basic patterns are boring and the fills too clever. Also there doesn't seem to be any way of adding additional drummer styles. I still find it easier to find an existing song that has a basic drum pattern close to what I want and then convert that to a MIDI file (I used to use Recycle! but I'm now looking for a modern alternative) to use with my own drum sounds and build the rest of the drum part from that.

There's nothing big or clever about having cheap gear, and equally there's nothing big or clever about having expensive gear either. Use what you can afford and/or need and just get on with the important job of playing the actual music. I always put it into perspective by considering that when I was playing in a synth band in the 80s it would have been possible to buy a small mid-terrace house in need of modernisation for the same amount as we had spent on the musical equipment we took to gigs. In that respect taking £10k worth of instruments, effects and amplification on stage, when compared with property or even car prices these days, is peanuts.

Someone here 3D printing fixtures that replaced the feet and allowed the Helix the be screwed to the wooden base of a pedal board case.

Thanks. The video shoot was done in a single day in Melton Mowbray, December 2022.
