Good ideas, the reason I asked is that I am about to host an Open Mic night and I want to reduce the amount of alien saliva reaching the microphones. The colour coding makes the case on its own. I cannot claim copyright on the term Mic Condom, a former band mate coined that term.

Or Foam Windshields. Do you use them or do you have a good reason not to use them? I have heard that the Shure ones are the best but are the others any good?

The sh** show that is Royal mail / ParcelForce
Chienmortbb replied to leschirons's topic in General Discussion
I made and sold cables for two Basschatters recently. One was delayed for some reason so I sent it on a Royal Mail. 24hr service. The other was on. 48Hr but I paid for a collection on that one. Both were collected and delivered the following day. -
My kind of music but WTF is Ridco?

Sorry, I missed this last week. I have not had a chance to check it live so the next big thing is an an Open Mic on Feb 12. The new setup will be used with the 4 piece layer in the year. I have been hammered by a shoulder injury but in listening to my speaker test playlist, it sounds glorious. Comparing the Typhon 8AXF to my Titan 12 Actives, the 8s seem to go lower. The DSP is quite subtle, 4 settings and non are too extreme. Most things sound really good but add the subs, even just one, and it is like someone put cream in your coffee. Ghe one thing I was worried about is the 65hz lower limit on the Casa 10 inch subs. However it seem fine to me on the one very large room (at my local Legion) . Time will tell in a band setting but I do have to convince our technophobe dinosaur of a singer to go full digital mixer plus full range PA. Ironically he is youngest in the band but I think it’s as much about control.

You should really have some type of protection in a 3.5mm stereo jack plug (TRS) to 5.35mm mono jack (TS) I put 100 ohm resistors in as I worry the headphone outs may not like signal being fed back into them.

I am sure @Phil Starr will be along to add his experience to the void (sorry). As I remember he was planning to use the Eucalyptus faced Poplar cored ply from Jewsons. The prototype is a cube and from memory made from 15mm birch. Add that to the 5Kg plus of the drive and it is quite heavy for its size. Using a poplar core would approximately half the weight of the cabinet I also seem to remember a conversation about the number of cores being just as important as the thickness. When we were discussing this, the options for Italian Poplar were 7 or 12 ply on 15mm thickness with the 12 ply being much better.

They always show the CQ18, but the CQ20 has XLRs for the output.

Go to https://g-gotoh.com/productList/res-o-lite-series/?lang=en Check the shape and sizes of the GB 640 and GB 528 with your bass, my gut says you need the 640s, but my MIJ Aerodyne really needed the 528. From memory the main difference, apart from the baseplate shape, is the headstock hole diameter. Mine has a painted headstock, so I was nervous drilling it out. If I had done my research, I would have bought the 528s.

Dementia also close to home for me as is Breast and Prostate Cancer.

P bass - Pickup recommendations- weird one.
Chienmortbb replied to millar138's topic in Repairs and Technical
The DiMarzio pickups usually have adjustable pole pieces so you can set the pickup heights in the usual way but fine tune the volume of each string by either lowering or raising the pole pieces with an alien key. -
Roughly half the weight. I have them on my Aerodyne. Is the bass of far east origin? If so, you may need the GB528

Randy And Timothy both used a variety of basses over the years but despite personally preferring a Precision bass to a Jazz, that does look lovely.

So the question is, how many of us are willing to stump up for the hall? @scrumpymike, how much do you need to cover the costs?

Second cab reason? Backache, not so far to bend to turn up to 11.

Missed that I will modify my post.

Add sound techs that attempt a mass appendectomy with the bass drum.

https://www.altoprofessional.com/products/tmd-16 A brief look says it is as you say @Phil Starr. I have only had a cursory look at the Operating Instructions, but it has one drawback that I can see, like the Flow 8 has control via Bluetooth but not Wi-Fi/Ethernet. Not really a big deal for a pub band, but where folks want control for a sound check or musicians want some control of their own monitor mix, you cannot do it. It also has only 8 mic/line inputs, and I am not sure that 3 stereo pairs is really needed on this size of mixer. None of these would be a deal-breaker if you were transitioning from an Analogue mixer. I would not swap it for my A&H CQ20, but if I had never used a digital mixer, It would be an option. I do commend Alto for doing something different, though.

I don't think I have ever taken anything that Mr Plod would object to on a Gig day. I do often have a beer after setup and soundcheck, as those are the most stressful times. As I have to drive home, that beer is not strong and as I am driving home around 5 hours later, probably not currently illegal. If they change in the law, as looks likely, then Guinness Zero or Ginger Beer. Can I play when stoned or drunk, no! Can I create when not stone-cold sober? No.

It is arguable that Apple Juice is more potent than a JD, especially when diluted with cola.

The pain and discomfort of the headache will do more harm than a few paracetamols.

Thank you to Mike and the Scrumpettes for your work over the years. Hopefully someone can take things on.

Hide the SSID?
-
I had a similar experience, the guitarist turned on is new Wireless system and the mixer disappeared. One of the problems with 2.4GHz is that, as well as the overuse of the band, Wi-Fi channels overlap. 5.8GHz do not, having a guard band between channels. To avoid any issues, you should also do a scan using your phone. iPhone and iPad have a utility called Airport Utility that allows you to see any close networks. Also, you must secure your network AND hide the SSID.
