The Roto Nexus on my Aerodyne have barely changed tone in over a year. The feel is a little different but I would buy them again.

As far as I remember, those ART-945A have a monster of a compression driver and coupled with a good horn it can go way below 1KHz (650Hz from memory). That is well below the "beaming point" of a 15".

Sales figures do not lie. For a big brand like Ibby, the bean counters will tell them to stop sellling a model if sales are poor.

Hopefully not a pedant but tbere is a reason most wall wart power supplies are centre positive. It makes them much more difficult to blow up by accident. The real question is WTF were Boss thinking making their pedals centre negative. However I will accept that the de facto standard is centre negative.

Tayda do a full range of Alpha Pots https://www.taydaelectronics.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=250K+Potentiometer Sadly, the postage costs now are prohibitive.

Unusual for a bass to have a tuner built in, I can'see the need for more than one. What are the machine heads like?🙃 On a serious note, they do look correct for the era of the original. However, I do agree that they probably could be improved upon.

However, one of the drivers is "full range", so as long as you choose the correct one to mic up there should be no problem. No one should be under the illusion that the sound in the crowd is the sound in their head.

No mention of Ebassguitar? Easier style of teaching than SBL, a very good player but a very good teacher too.

Almost spot on, of course there is no reason why a low impedance pickup could not be coupled with an onboard preamp. The problem is most are designed with high impedance, high output pickups in mind. As a result they do not have enough gain for a low impedance, low output pickup. Going back to Sire, I own an M2. It uses the Marcus Miller preamp and it is very versatile. The downside is the knobs. They feel cheap and they are the same on the more expensive Sire Jazz basses. Now you have set me off looking for some new knobs…

Dammed smell check. Of course, it was a Smelleycaster copy.

Yes, there were not well loved but in one band, the lead guitarist had one, together with a cab made from an old wardrobe. He used a stray copy and got a wonderful sound from that setup.

Another cable, another easy transaction. 🙂

I have my iPad attached to my mic stand. With the slider is big enough, to grab quickly if I need it, but I fully understand the comfort a knob can bring.

EM as in Electro Magnetic?

I used one a few times before buying the Soundcraft UI16. The WiFi was truly dreadful, letting go several times during gigs. I also liked the fact that no app was required for the Soundcraft. In fairness, the UI16 was only marginally better on WiFi initially. I found that later that the many devices are set to search for the strongest WiFi signal with internet connected networks prefered. When you realise how flexible these mixers are, it makes no sense using an analogue mixer. My firts analogue mixer was a RamsaWR-S4412 and it blew my mond seeing all those controls and what the hell was an Aux bus?

If I had the money or political inclination to send my kids there, I would want to know why they a throwing £thousands in the skip.

I can do them for you. However, you will be fine using the 2 way connectors.

Bill is right (I used Duck Duck Go but use Google if you must) However this has a lot to do with dispersion. Your 2x12 will be throwing plenty of volume and bandwidth out into the room, but you are probably standing in front of your cab with your head above some of the higher frequencies of your bass. This is why a proper mid/high frequency driver and crossover is required. Then you hear more of what the audience hears.

You can do that on the Smoothound.

In most cases the radio system, if well-designed, will stop the high-end roll off from cables. This is why many have a cable compensation function, a Low Pass Filter. However, not all cables are created equal and the roll off from cables vary with length and quality. So fixed compensation may not be ideal. To argue against myself, for most people playing bass, the cable will have little effect on their tone. Then the reliability of either a cable or wireless system becomes the most important thing.

I had some Van Damme some years ago. No matter what connector I used, the inner broke about 4 cm from the end of the plug on a regular basis. In the end I used it for pedal board patch cables as they did not move. Since then, I have only used Sommer and Klotz. I recently had to repair a cable with Van Damme XKE cable, and it certainly did not persuade me that it was worth changing to.

Line Micropone.
