The BUMP button usually appears at the top after 3 (I think its 3) days.

I would profess to be a lighting genius but trying to programme a DMX system can be challenging. I bought one of these cheap DMX controllers HERE. It is a real learning curve and the one thing you soon learn is that DMX Is not standard. Even within different PAR cans, the commands are different. You can resolve this using different addresses but be prepared to spend some time perfecting things.

We have had the discussion on here about what mics we use/prefer, but what do the other members of your ensemble use? It is multi choice so you can vote for both.

It has been a thing at the cheaper end of the market, paying lip service to the higher frequencies. Shame on Eich for saving money this way although they are not alone. It is one of the reasons that boutique makers like Greenboy, LFSys, and others exist, because the usual suspects play fast and loose with the top end. SEarch on here or on T*lkbass for Markbass combos and the issues with their top ends. If the best you can do is a tweeter and capacitor, do not bother.

Yes you need to be careful here. Amplifiers have limits to the size of capacitive load and you could cause your amp to shut down. This is true of Class D amps but may class A/B amps have trouble with capacitive loads.

I don't want this to descend into a fanboy flame war but as the Barefaced battalions are already firing a lo-fi barrage........I had the 12" Monaco and now have the 10" Monza, they all think we are nuts but I agree. The Monza is a tad down on the Monaco for sensitivity so I would consider a second to be sure but one Monaco, absolutely. On a sensible note, it's hard to be sure without knowing how loud the rest of the band are. Talk to Alex at Barefaced, talk to our own @stevie about what you need, but have all the details ready when you do. We are all biased, but of course the Barefaced boys are more biased than me 🤣

Sorry for the delay in my reply but, if anyone wants these cables, I can get them as I have a trade account with Sommer, however they are almost €12 before VAT and shipment and the extra customs and handling charges that good old Brexit has resulted in. ( I was looking at retail price, I can sell it at £7/metre). So you are sailing close to £16 per metre plus connectors and connection charges.

Probably just a resistor in line, standard fare to limit current and reduce RF interference. It will do flip all to limit loudness.

in a past life we bought and modified TVs for use on Aircraft. One day the rep came in a told us that a new model was due. Wjat changes we asked? "no headphone socket" . The socket apparently cost 50p but the TV was £5 more expensive once it got to retail! You also have to realise that such tiny boxes cannot use speakons without sacrificing a large-ish amount of real estate.

The cost of a jack plug, pennies, a speakon, £s and once you go add manufacturer markup, distributor markup and retailer markup, the speakon could cost several £s more. There is no safety reason that you cannot use a jack at these power (actually voltage) levels. I would always advise against it but who the funk listens to me?

Where do you put the paper, under the bridge? Sorry that would have been Flea.

To make a decent HPF at the driver end mean big heavy and expensive components . You need IMHO something line 18-24dB. That entails a 3rd or 4th order filter. A first or even 2nd order filter ( 6-12dB) would putter cutoff frequency too high. As @Woodwind says it is easier to achieve in ghe signal path rather after the power stages. I think the Thumpinator sets the -3dB point too low although there are lots of them about. If you have WinISD, you can model the driver and then add various filters to see the effect on the low increase by adding higher order filters.

He is a guitarist. Might as well be in a different country!

I am seriously going to fall out with you lot. Why do you keep telling me about goodies I don’t need? I WANT them but WANT and NEED are from different continents. Signed Angry of Dorset. Xxx

Well the Veyron is now for sale, nothing wrong with it but I now have a NAD pending.

Our vocalist is UK but the lead guitar stands back miles. a real PITA.

Yes, I forgot about that and of course the Sound Meter, legends.

You may have noticed that it has rained a lot recently. A week or two ago I came prancing tough the back door carrying my LFSys 10. No cover but what could go wrong? A saturated pile of leaves could go wrong. As I stepped out, my right found found no grip, I went woofer over tweeter and the cab went several feet in the air (the drawback to lightweight cabs?). I really hurt my back but the cab seemed to bounced several times and laugh at me. It is testament to to how @stevie builds his cabs that the cabinet was wholly intact. Not only that but there was not a scratch on the Tuffcab. Of course the corners used on the LFSys cabs are very absorbent, probably helping the bounce, metal corners may not have helped in this regard, but the Tuffcab was unmarked. I had to try the cab after such abuse and immediately noticed a buzz but after moving the cab to the other side of the room, the buzz was in the same place. Full marks to @stevie and Tuffcab.

This is true of so many things.

That is what I was worried about especially if singer moves sideways and the backing opens the gate erroneously.

How well does a gate work on the vocals if you have backline? On the mic switch issue. It’s a sod to turn it on if you are playing and find out it’s switched off.

Thank you for that and my apologies for the delay in my reply. I think you have got it perfectly. In a gig setting Ingetcaway with it but I use one of @stevie LFSys FRFR cabinets and it’s is as clear as anything. Would playing along to a drum machine be OK?

That was my thought and some reviews say you cannot get a real clean tone. Thanks.
