Happy Jack

Oh FFS, Tony. I need to know that like I need a hole in the head. Memo to Self: Stay away from @Hellzero adverts. Incidentally, there is no actual law that says you can't play piano and bass. Just saying ...

This is really not a great audio recording and does that PA rig no favours - we sounded way better than this in the room.

It took us far too much of the first set to sort out the appropriate settings on both the sub and the tops - too many options everywhere - but by about 20 mins in @Silvia Bluejay was beginning to get less disgusted with the basic sound and starting to apply the right EQ to make improvements. I thought the sub was strangely sensitive (on its own volume control) to an exact sweet spot for best resuts, but we weren't being helped by either the room (very lively) or the band layout - we had the tops on either side of the band and the sub on the floor dead centre, but further forward than I'd have preferred due to a partition getting in the way. By set #2 Silvie had it completely under control and the sound was fine, certainly far better than with just the CP8s on their own. They're great units and I really rate them for confined spaces, but Silvie never tires of pointing out that they're really intended for use as floor wedges and sound awful compared to our more serious PA kit. As an audio experience, and judged purely for that, the Citronic sub + 2xQSC CP8s rig was actually a bit meh and of course that's exactly what I expected. Now factor in the portability and form factor in a badly-designed boozer with a tricky load-in and it all makes sense. I'm delighted that we have that rig ... we won't use it often but we'll use it where we need it, and that will probably be a dozen times a year.

On a slightly more constructive note, rather than naming & shaming at this stage or threatening legal action, why don't you politely email him with a link to this thread on Basschat and ask him how he thinks you should proceed?

Check the weight before you buy!

Far Canal. Sorry Al, I was clearly way off target.

WHUT???!!!

Sorry to have wasted your valuable time, Dan. Please feel free to ignore my future posts on this or other subjects. 🙂

Pretty sure that's 21Kg.

@Silvia Bluejay won't be at the next Load Of Hay gig but she will be at the one I mentioned and she will be recording it, so that should be very doable.
