    Are we saying that many sound mixists are convinced they are the main attraction.

    The Monaco is not Fane equipped. I cannot say what the driver is but I know it is Neodymium and Fane’s Neodymium 12s would not match the Monaco specs. Orienting the horn vertically really is a game changer an in most situations the horizontal dispersal is more than enough for the audience too. The days of putting a bunch of drivers in a box and hoping for the best are, or should be , over.

    @Geek99 was right all those years ago about my gear being way above my ability. I don’t need another bass BUT the current shoulder injury needs a shorter scale length. If you listen carefully you will hear SWMBO’s howl as a Shorg Scale drops through the letter box (I know it won’t fit really)

    Only that I have had problems with lag on Android tablets. However have now ordered a the one you suggested to try.

    I agree with Ed, sorry Al. Using 5GHz is your best bet. The CQ is the best compact mixer on WiFi however many people do use travel routers with them, not because the WiFi is not good but often so they can run wired and wireless networking at the same time. One limitation is that you can only use wired or wireless on the CQ, not both at the same time. I have used both Soundcraft Ui and The Behringer X series and both have virtually unusable WiFi and had to have an external router.

    I paid about that price from a UK supplier.

    I had the bog-standard Gen 9 model (I think) iPad before I got my CQ20B, and it has been fine. According to the App Store, you need at least iPadOS 15 to run A&H's MixPad app. Many CQ users run Mixing Station, a third party app that will control most of the digital mixers, and is favoured by many professional sound techs. The reason is that it is multiplatform so you can buy a licence for each mixer and set the UI up to suit yourself. Mixing Station still runs perfectly on iOS 11 or Android 5 devices. The cost of Mixing Station for the CQ is £9.99 so not outrageous.

    None, but I avoid 2.4GHz like the plague for mission-critical applications. This would not interfere with anything, but the 2.4GHz carrier might.

    This controller is sold with slight cosmetic variation by many vendors, as well as being sold as an IEM by various companies, most notably Chauvet Obey 40. In fact, I have just downloaded the Chauvet Obey 40 Manual and used it to programme mine. . I bought mine for about £20 S/H.
  10. Chienmortbb
    What controller or Software are you using?
  11. Chienmortbb
    Doh. I was complaining about the lack of a DMX on the wall washer. The clue is RGB. Once you have the address set, the faders 1,2 and 3 on the controller control the Red Green and Blue LEDs. Doh

    The cabs have a marmite tone that you will either love or hate. At the South West Bash they were voted top in a cab shootout one year and bottom the following year,

    Has anyone found a wireless DMX system that does not operate on 2.4GHz? Tgere is too much WiFi, Bluetooth and microphones/IEM systems working on 2.4GHz to make it reliable for lighting.

    Not a problem, AWG 16. Equates to 1.5mm squared. At 8 ohms that would be good for around 1000 watts. As the Fane 8-225 is 225 watts, you have loads to spare.

    I have all the same tee shirts. To be honest I find almost soaking the hole with PVA adhesive before inserting the threaded insert works well although both superglue and epoxy will do the job well. It’s just that there is less risk with the PVA. I tend to stick to the workpiece with superglue/cyanoacrylate and if you get epoxy on anything, it’s a swine to get it off.

    I thought Jaguars were 32” scale length?

    Mics are quite a personal thing, I must admit that I usually hear both the SM58 and the XM8500 through. passive old monitors snd both sound a little thin to me. The difference in price is quite a lot though. We are lucky that we now have a good selection of both cardioid and super/hyper cardioid mics and do not just have the SM58/57. Super cardioid works well for me and I use mine to move offline when I sing but am not supposed to be. Sometimes I just cannot help myself. I have a selection of mics. My favourite is a Sontronics Solo, Super Cardioid, I also have Two Vintage Ramsa Dynamic Mics, WM-D120 and WM-D150 plus a Behringer BA 85A Dynamic Super Cardioid. All usable, all slightly different but the Sontronics is the clear winner. I also think it great to discuss equipment but sone people will take criticisms of their choice personally.
  18. Chienmortbb
    Good point. I have both so will check later if I can find them both. I think the P2 expects line level.
  19. Chienmortbb
    You could use a mic splitter/combiner so you could feed both the PA and a Behringer P2. https://artproaudio.com/patchbayssplitters/product/282112/splitcompro

    BBC Sound people often prefer the XM8500, if given a choice between the two. I suspect it is easier to EQ for radio/TV sound.
  21. Chienmortbb
    That necks could sound much different is a moot point. During the To d Ward much was made of the body material without realising that the string passes the neck for we over 50% of its playing length. While I suspect that the pickups and other electrics have most effect it is interesting to hear other people’s opinions.
  22. Chienmortbb
    They always keep these OEM arrangements close to their chests. I know Fender Strings are made by D’Addario now Sadowsky could be using anyone’s.

    So I am going for a short scale, but as It is because of an injury, I don’t want to pay out too much as, once I have recovered, I may go back to 34” basses. I have a bass that was paid for with some of the money my Mum left me. So the question is Hartwood Delta or Harley Benton MV-4MSB? The Harley Benton looks great but is not immediately available. The Hartwood Delta is available and the only downside is that I like black basses. If we ignore the colour issue, what should I go for?

    I think the Jaydee has gone, and it was a bit rich for my blood anyway.
  25. Chienmortbb
    It is water-soluble, so you could thin it and brush that on. I think I did that on one cabinet.
