Did you post on the wrong thread?

Many bass cabs do not have a proper crossover with the tweeter being a token offering. I have seen this on GK, Markbass and I know that many others are the same. I suspects @stevie's cabs from the Basschat 112 to his commercial offerings, the LFSys Monza, Monaco and Silverstone. I would expect the same from other high end cabs like the Kinetic Audio cabs from the USA would also be good but..... as usual you will get a list of people's favourite cab so feel free to ignore me (and them) as you please.

As many of you know, I make cables for people on here. I am considering making cables for stock but I would like to know what lengths of Instrument cables people prefer. I will still be making cables to order but it saves a lot of time and effort making two or more cables of a particular type.

2.4GHz. Not trustworthy on a gig IMHO.

As ever, the first lecture on the Sound Tech Course is obviously Kick Drum and they drop out after that. In saying that I saw a Soul band, 9 piece laat year at my local British Legion. The sound tech used an iPad to mix and was continually listening form all angles and occasionally making small tweaks. Best live sound I have hear except for Black Country Communion at the Hammersmith Odean (can't be assed to check on it's current name).

That SPIRIT LLX really is a nice cable. Glad you are pleased with it.

Many manufacturers use ICEPower, I have seen Powersoft and Pascal modules too, although some do design their own power sections. I used an ICEPower 50ASX2 when I modded my Ashdown After 8 combo, changing it from a 15 watt to a 100 watt units powering the internal 8 ohm speaker.

Not true. Many are rated at 500mA or below and that equates to 2 watts. You have to assume that most reputable manufacturers like Ashdown choose their sockets carefully but many speaker cables will have shite plugs and whatever you do, do not use a guitar/bass lead. The standard Neutrik NP2X is rated thus: Rated current per contact - depends on mating connector A Rated voltage < 50 V So because of the variation in sockets, Neutrik will not specify the current on the NP2X. The locking jacks are rated at 10 Amps but when I asked someone at Neutrik they said that the NP2X is rated at 5 amps max. That is 200 watts at 8 ohms or 100 watts at 4 ohms.

If you daisy chain/parallel or those cabs, you get approx 2.7 ohms, in between the 2 and 4 ohm outputs. Ashdown will probably be best to ask but I would say either the 2 of 4 ohm outputs. The real issue is that the 2x10 will get more of the output and you will not be ablet to get a good balance between the two, any sensitivity differences might improve or degrade the output disparity.

Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. when one of my basses was active only, I always took a passive bass as backup. That bass is long gone and my current active bass has a passive setting. I have never broken a string and wonder how had you have to play to do so. Next gig is about a mile away so should I or shouldn't I? The answer is yes as I am now wondering about something I have never worried about...

Mine look like old solder…

If Farnell or Mouser stock the item you can use their service to create a footprint. If they have not got on it takes a day or two and they can make you a footprint.

So they should. its the only way to ensure everyone is on the same phase.

Neither. Leave the valves until you are sure they are duff and save your pocket money on the power conditioner, they are a con. Mad Mr Furman a lot of money.

True and that complication is compounded when you realise that the 12 has a longer stroke/Xmax meaning that the difference is close to nothing. so the difference really is negligible until the cabinet is tuned.

Most people that slag off buffered bypass are guitarists, buffered pedals that are well designed should not be a problem for bass.

Did you remember to use the cone size plus 1/2 the surround size rather than the overall size? If you look at the Eminence Kappalite 10s, the total of the effective cone area (SD) is 118" sq while a single Kappalite 12 is 82" sq. So rounding very loosely, the 12 is 2/3 of the cone area of 2 x 10s.

IF you remind me before hand I can bring one. I think it says NE5534 but its not clear.

I could not play such a short bass but it does look gorgeous.

The B1 Four is instant. I am impressed if the Turbo Tuner is faster.

Peterson is the gold standard and to be fair, even their app is brilliant.

Over the weekend we had two gigs and continuing my monitor theme, the ups and downs of narrow dispersion have revealed themselves. AS you may remember we had to put the two monitors that we use to the side on one gig bue to the depth (or lack of depth) of the stage. That worked really well and these speakers have a 60 x 60 dispersion angle. As a result our feedback issues all but went away. This weekend, sideways positioning was not possible so the speakers went back to the front and... we could not all hear the monitors. So with narrow dispersion we need more monitors......obviously IEM is the way to go? NO, dinosaurs do still roam the stages of southern England so we need more monitors. I do have a third identical cab but with a powered mixer, we are at our maximum. I do have a solution that still needs testing so I will keep my powder dry for a while but...till then I must leave you in suspenders.
