In fact, on Beyma's figures it was more than 3dB loss, but at half power the loss was approaching 1dB. So let's say you lose 2dB or more and add the 6dB low end boost usually quoted for mutual coupling.

I apologise, I did not see that before I posted. Rean are a subsidiary of Neutrik, and although they are normally not specified for as many insertions as the Neutrik equivalents, they are usually reliable. I would suspect the socket based on my own limited experience.

I have always found Andertons to be very fair on this type of thing and have had replacements within the 30 days. One of the things to remember is that in this case the problem is with two connectors, and it may be unclear which has caused the problem. Those Anderton's cables would be fitted with what are considered cheap connectors, however, I have seen low cost XLRs that are very good. In saying that, a non-branded XLR got stuck in a Citronic power amp I bought. IMHO it was the socket fitted to the amp that was at fault but as both XLR connectors were os unknown origin, who knows As for the EV speakers, I cannot see what connectors EV/Dynacord use but if they were also not Neutrik, Amphenol, Switchcraft, Cliff or HiCon, I would be uncertain who is to blame. Of course, it could be the Wetware!

New RBM Range Webpage Ant thoughts?

So they tune down half and octave? Frustrated bass players?

I thought I should elaborate. At 300 watt, with two Fane 225s, in theory you will be close to 120dB plus the low end 6dB boost @phil described earlier. It will also be louder than one theoretical 4 ohm drive running at 225 watts. The reason is that running a 225 watt speaker at full power will incur power compression. This causes a +3dB loss* in power due to the rise in resistance of the voicecoil. So 225 watts into a 225 watt speaker will give roughly the same acoustic output as the same speaker powered at 112 watts**. *Based on data previously published by Beyma. Beyma used to be the only company to include power compression graphs, but clearly it was seen as a commercial disadvantage and they no longer do it. **There will be some power compression even at 1/2 rated power, probably 1-1.5dB.

Should be more than enough.

It is the "Old Religion", danced just before they sacrifice a virgil.

Is there any updated firmware for the B2 Four?

In my first band, Thd bassist was a complete novice but had a Rick. 4001 in black and white, it played superbly and I only got my dislike of ricks because of the twin truss rods snd aggressive trademark protection. Still my first experience was good.

My Kala U Bass is black with white guard and it is a common thing online for people wanting to change it.

Jazz basses, always look like the plate really wanted a Stratocaster.

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?

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.

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
