I was watching a video about carbon fibre panels recently and the conclusion was that without reinforcement, they are not that useful. To make a usable panel you need reinforcement to stiffen the panel (obviously reducing resonances). That leads to the next problem, the edges. These were the most vulnerable part of the panel. Now I am not saying that carbon fibre panels are no good for speaker cabinets. However they need a lot of work and expertise to get a useable panel. You can see in the video that even the best of the three panels flexes under the weight. Not a problem in a car, or a graphite neck with but a high quality speaker cabinet is more demanding.

Felix was Gerrman but is was the Japanese that made the Wankel engine work commercially. Sadly I cannot fit one on my pedal board.

Interesting. I tried the M version again today but this time with my Yammy RBX375. The last time I used it was with my Samick Greg Bennet Royale, the Semi-acoustic shown in my profile picture. This time I tried the gain in every position and it never went i to fuzz, just a warm overdrive that I love. Mt Samick must have a much higher output than the Yamaha 5.

My local music store, Absolute music set up their demo gear before it goes on display (or sometimes ot a label saying "just in, not yet set up by our technicians"). They also set it up free of charge unless you ask them not to. I cannot say how well instruments ordered online are dispatched.

Yes I have found Chris great when I have contacted him,

Like you I can do the tests but only have a Smoothound system. I will test it in the next couple of days.

The clue on Fenders (at least those I have on my beater bass) is the coloured ball ends. They went from their own make to D'Addarios some years ago. However the feel and sound the same to me. "Meh" just about sums it up.

You write bass heavy or do you mean full range, such that you can hear the bass? If you really want bass heavy then go for some Beats. They feature exagerated bass. Alternatively the usual suspects above, to which I would add the Superlux range that always come well recomended. I use a pair of Panasonic's that would exceed your budget but can be used both wired and with bluetooth..

With the plethora of small lightweight heads, I would go for something a little more powerful. From TC the BQ500 is only a little heavier but much more versatile. The Ashdown RM500 Evo 2 is more expensive but still lightweight and there are others. The 250-300 watt heads are really only putting out about 100-130 watts.

Oh yes. I immediately turned the gain down as I was testing the rig, I did not get a chance to investigate where the dirt came in or how subtle it could be. Make no mistake this is a super amp.

I got mine out the other day for the first time in a while and some how the gain switch had gone to 11. I thought something had broken. Strangely I had never had it passed halfway. It was a shock as I had only heard it clean. I have had mine for about 3 years too and no problems, Except then noisy fan.

I had a little time so I redrew the crossover on the computer. It is not perfect but it is clearer.

There is also the possibilty that your amp has two power amps, each feeding one of the speaker sockets. In that case it would be inadvisable.

Sorry, it looks like a volute under the QC label .

Thankfully I don't need Stereo Out from any effect excpet direct from the Aux input. It is amazing how much of a track you can lose if only running one side of a stereo mix. Stereo effects in a live setting is not only a waste of time but can, and will, cause some effects to change depending on room acoustics.

The lightning connector has headphone out, You just need a Lightning to 3.5mm TRS. https://www.apple.com/uk/shop/product/MMX62ZM/A/lightning-to-35mm-headphone-jack-adapter This link is to thr Apple one but there are other makes.

Reply deleted as @Al Krow said it much better.

My Mac is 14 years old, no longer updated and still it stumbles on. I stilL prefer it to my new Dell Windows PC. As I understand it a Chromebook is a Google rework of Linux, as is Android. You should be able to run the software under WINE, a Linux Windows emulator. If you Mac limps on, PlayOnMac is a programme that uses wine Ona Mac to use many Windows programmes although not all will work. I don’t know about the iPad.

Which songs are they for John

It is a well known issue on Les paul and SG guitars and Gibson could have cured it years ago by adding a volute on the rear of the neck, approx below the nut. A volute is a lump of wood strengthening neck where the fingerboard ends and the headstock starts. Of course the JC DOES have a volute so worry no more. I cannot see whether the neck has a scarf joint that wouild strengthen it even more from the picture though. Epipone 1-0 Gibson. .

Jack's sister. Her real name is Alice but everyone knows her as Slack.

There are noi dumb questions, just dumb answers.

Looks like Line 6 have just launched a new POD. POD GO webpage. Any thoughts From Helix owners?

I don’t seem to have a problem with that although it’s so long since I played live, my memory may be faulty.

My brain is working today and a thought has just come to me ( yes I did make a note in my diary). If a modelling multi effects unit claims to model a pedal exactly, should it add the noise inherent in that pedal?
