    I think latency ( more properly called propgation delay) does depend on whet digital paths are selected within a mixer so probably safer to say 2mS. Apart from that and in my experience, about 10-12mS would be OK but then that is as much as I have experienced to date. Adding 12mS to that is probably a daal breaker but I would have to do some tests before making a definitive statement.

    In computing this is called the “wet ware”.

    When I was a lad in broadcast TV, we had two categories of equipment for news gathering. One was portable, could be used by a single person on the shoulder, the other was transportable. Transportable was a two person lift. The QSC KW153 are a nice speaker but way over the recommend one person lift, in the terms above, transportable. Fine if you have roadies a mechanical handling equipment. To some degree you cannot get away from the fact that big is best but in reality it is the biggest you can manage or get away with sonically.

    Bu**er. Had another piece of equipment fail at rehearsal last night so had to do a Thomann order. Guess what accidently slipped into my basket? Zoom B2 Four on its way to Dorset. Hopefully in time for nexr week's gig.

    It has an expression pedal input an Zoom do an Expression pedal so it may not come.

    The 200W combos are really an MB200 in a cabinet so will be no upgrade. The MB200 or as I call it, the MB170 uses the ICEpower 50ASX2 module, rated at 170W into 4 ohms and 100W into 8 ohms.

    ZoomB2 Four now in stock at Thomann. My trigger finder is itching....

    I have used elixirs on an acoustic and the drop in tone was not compensated for by the extra longevity. Om my bass I have Rotosound Nexus and they take some getting used too but they look great being black on a black bass but more importantly are easier ad nicer to play once you are used to them. I would buy Nexus again but Elixir do not work for me either.

    Nylon is a very good lubricant so would probably avoided the fret wear noted above. When you fret a wound round, the point of contact on both string and fret is quite narrow, although there will be a difference between narrow and jumbo frets. However a wound string is not just a long piece of steel. it is likely that the constant compression caused by fretting compromises the integrity of the wind. So the nylon will both hold the wind together as well a cushioning the impact of string on fret meaning less fret wear. I have three basses, one strung flats, one round and one coated and I realised recently that I use bends and vibrato more with the coated strings.

    To be a bit more serious, this was/is a problem with the big guitar rigs of the past when an affulent father would buy a 100W Marshall Head with 2 4x12s for his son. Then would come the complaint that the amp was noisy compared to his Leak HiFi amp. So, not to put too fine a point on it, the SVT range were desiggned to drive cabs that have a limited HF response (like your 15s and the Ampeg Fridges). The SVT 7 Pro has an awful lot of 4580 op amps and the cumulatuve noise of those in addition to the design itself, could be the problem. Agedhorse would probably call me out on that and I woud bow to his superior knowledge. I must say that I have used Ashdown, Bugera, GK amps with tweetered cabs over the years and never had a probelm with noise/hiss.
  11. Chienmortbb
    I think an email to Ashdown would be a good idea. Flashing LEDs do not in themselves usually cause Audio noise. i don’t have an RM, rather a Retroglide 800 and that only flashes a pale yellow.

    Over history the value of money has halved per decade to 35-56P woukld now be £5.60- £11.20?

    The 6.1% figure is for Food inflation in the UK I believe as the RPI and CPI are both other 10% and have been for months.
  14. Chienmortbb
    I find that strangely attractive and at least available the world over.
  15. Chienmortbb
    I think the Value Brands have increased more in percentage terms. If you go down to Value form Branded, the cost is lower but if the value is 50% higher than a year ago, thosethat have always bought Value will see a massive rise. It is why they often say that inflation hits the poorest hardest.

    I should add that at well over 6ft, I find the centre handle fine. However I do appreciate side handles when putting a PA cab onto a speaker stand.

    Firstly the Bridge/Jass pickup is a hum bucket so is silent. The P pickup is more balanced, less low end and in some places less muddy than the stock pickup. The only downside is the J pup is lower output. However that has been the case on every P/J I have tried. I also put Gotoh Res-O-Lite machine heads on to reduce the weight. It now comes in at 3.8Kg.
  18. Chienmortbb
    The problem my well be the rapid change in DC , effectively a low frequenct AC signal, albeit of short duration.
  19. Chienmortbb
    I changed the stock pickups for some DiMarzios.
  20. Chienmortbb
    I have the 2003 version with no pickguard, It has a heavier bridge but otherwise similer. G:WTS

    Strange, you get a linear sound from a logarithmic or nonlinear pot.
  22. Chienmortbb
    Yes the Comply tips have a long recover time and are easy to fit. The video for the Aliexpress ones suggest a similar slow return to sizw. I have ordered a mixed pack to try.
  23. Chienmortbb
    I have tried Comply tips and IMHO they are a cut above other tips, whether memory foam, silicon or rubber. whether the compete with a custom mould I cannot say. I seem to remembre buying a trial pack with S,M and L sizes. However I cannot remember which size I settled on.

    Can you use the dynamics on your mixer to tweak the response?

    Hornby and Skewes. Now know as JHSor John Hornby Skewes. Incidenty what does an 8 string bring to the table?
