    As you might expect, I have heard an early version of the Monza and it was impressive. My Silverstone has been upgraded to a Monaco but of course I now have GAS for the 10”. I might as well just give @stevie my wallet!

    That looks good. https://cebek.co.uk/media/ecom/prodpdf/cebek-e-11-user-manual.pdf However the amp looks like a Class A/B, and it will be fairly inefficient.

    You just beat me to it.

    That one looks OK. I use the TP Link travel router https://www.tp-link.com/uk/home-networking/wifi-router/tl-wr902ac/ It has a good range and is really small. It has never let me down. However I connect it to the mixer via Ethernet and it on,y has one Ethernet port. So I bought a four port hub to go with it. The GL-iNet has three Ethernet ports and providing the wireless side works OK, would have been a good choice for me.

    Gain clones are usually class AB either with bipolar or FET output stages. All need +/- supplies. If all you have is 12V then you need a module with a single supply rail. There are compromises. You can have Cheap or Quality but you can’t have both. Sadly where the cheap ones fall down is in the bass.

    They were introduced at Winter NAMM 2002 so the availability would have been 2003 on. My serial number is 2004/2005. I describe the bridge as High Mass but I suppose.I mean that it is not a a BBOT. It looks much like. Gotoh 201 bridge.

    That is a nice looking bass. I love my Aerodyne, it feels special when I pull the strap over my head. I have never bonded with Jazz basses, the real one with two single coil pickups.

    £1000+ Not sure that it is special enough to warrant that price.

    I have used the Behringer app and I use the web app on the Soundcraft Ui16. I prefer to use either rather than Mixing Station. It takes a lot of learning and is more aimed at Freelance Sound Engineers where they are never sure which desk/mixer they will be provided with. To be honest there is an issue with and App. As you hardware gets older, the Apps aren’t longer supported. With the Ui16, I can use a 10 year old iPad as it is controllvia a web browser. I will try with an 8 year old Android tablet later.

    I will try it out in the next few days as I have a Ui16

    You have a pre/post setting on the aux send for each channel. Ican't remember but assume that that would be pre processing and bypass all EQ and dynamics.

    Natural was mine. EDIT. My memory is going. It was my second bass. The first was a Squeir it was also a great.

    That is a later one I think, The early ones were P/J and had a high mass bridge. The jack was flat on the front, not like the Stratocaster front mounted design introduced later.
  14. Chienmortbb
    Can you explain the TLA?
  15. Chienmortbb
    All true, the AJB, jazz bass (or really a P/J) is not that hummy, but I swapped the pickups for a set of DiMarzio P/J with a humbucking jazz. The fingerprints on the black is true, of course the Aerodyne looks so cool... Be aware that the new ones have a 12" neck radius, whereas the early ones had 7.5" and some folks find that too tight.

    Jacks are a real danger on speaker cables. Most jack sockets from good makers like Neutrik, Switchcraft and Cliff generally rate at 5 amps. The SpeakOn/Jack Combo sockets are rated at 10 amps. However, many jacks and sockets are rated 0.5 amps. Also, SpeakOn are virtually bulletproof, whereas a shorted jack lead has broken many an amp.

    Yup, Washing mashing plus Tumble Dryer on a Double Socket? On high heat and a cotton wash, that is crazy. I had a lead with a charger that was moulded, and the plug top had no fuse.
  18. Chienmortbb
    I should have read your post before posting myself. However it is only the cable and connection point that passes the current. The socket will only pass what is being drawn by appliances attached to it. One other word of caution. Many Far Eastern imports come with IEC C14 (kettle) connectors but are fitted with 5A cable. That’s barely enough for an 800W amp.
  19. Chienmortbb
    Of course, we do or, more correctly, we fit circuit breakers to each ring circuit. For a normal wall socket ring main circuit, it is 32A. All plugs (plug top to our sparks friends) have fuses rated at 250V AC and a current that will protect the lead/cable/cable cord. It will be as low as possible. Never try to out guess the manufacturer. They rate onboard fuses at a rating that will allow for normal operation of the unit.

    When I started as a guitard, many decades ago, I had a 30 watt 2x12 Selmer Combo. Same size as an AC30, it was great, although the faux crocodile skin covering was as tatty as hell. I re-covered it in bright red vinyl. I realise it was a crime, but I knew no better.

    I have a box taunting me labelled BDI21 Mod Kits. I will do this mod one day.
  22. Chienmortbb
    You have to make the choices that work for you. Had we not had the annual open air gig (June 21st), I might have made a different choice.
  23. Chienmortbb
    Agreed, Glynn John sorted that years ago.

    This was the reason I went for the Soundcraft. I can do four vocal mics, two guitars, bass plus 5 channels for drums. We were about to do an outdoor event with a serious PA supplied by a DJ. I had to mix all the above and feed it into the L/R unbalanced inputs on a Pioneer D/J mixer (I ran balanced to just before the Pioneer then used two Sowter line transformers to convert to unbalanced at the Pioneer).

    I did look at the M18 and @Phil Starr has one (he is a secret RCF fanboi). When I bought the Ui16, I needed more mic inputs than the M18 offered, 12 rather than 8. I was worried about the fact that the Ui had fewer Aux outs, but then I found the menu where you could reassign the Headphone out socket as Aux 5/6. That being said, the M18 would be my choice if I could get away with fewer mic inputs. To me, the big thing was the User Interface. Having just to use a web browser instead of an app was the other big thing for me.
