    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.

    What controller or Software are you using?

    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.

    Good point. I have both so will check later if I can find them both. I think the P2 expects line level.
  12. 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.

    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.

    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.

    It is water-soluble, so you could thin it and brush that on. I think I did that on one cabinet.

    1.3 metre speakON cable using the latest Neutrik 2 Pole connectors and Sommer Meridien Mobile 2.5 mm speaker cable. Meridien is ultra bendy and easy to coil, and it comes with a cable tie to keep the cable coiled.

    I think those Thomann lights are a bit expensive. IMO the best vendors for lighting are Stsge or DJ suppliers. Terralec do a good range Terralec Lighting and these are worth a look Equinox Light Cluster. if you search DJ Suppliers , they will have more choice, both in price and range. I advise getting a set that has DMX control as you may want to get more lights later and you need to be able to control all of them.

    I painted the baffle Matt Black as Tuffcab is not a good idea in a baffle. I stopped the Tuffcab at the inside edge and started the Matt Black from there.

    On the prototype, I put the handle on after applying Tuffcab. The advantage of masking is that it guarantees that the handle will sit flush but at the handle dimensions are variable (on most strap handles). If you are not going for a full-on Artex type of finish, then the handle will be secure and in my case is sat well on top of the Tuffcab.

    Anyone that is still legitimally here, well done. If you get past Black Friday, you are on the home run.

    Can you get longwave on those?

    Last week’s gig for my band was in an almost square room with the stage in the corner. It really was the easiest sound check we have ever had. The sound out front seemed well balanced everywhere and especially on stage, despite us using the passive mains and monitors. As some will know, I have a shiny new system waiting in the wings but my shoulder injury means I cannot lift the Subs until the New Year. I wonder whether the positioning of the stage has as much to do with the sound as anything else. With the corner stage, the wall reflections are quite different to a central stage in a square/rectangle. Of course these corner stage setups are not the norm but as this was the first time at this venue for us, I am hopeful we can return next year. The nice touch was that we were paid more than the agreed fee .
