Thanks - interesting thinking about transients and freq range - I can see that they don't go super deep without subs but using them as the FoH PA, would often have some bass guitar going through them - I figure they should sound ok and just need to be powerful enough and with the right preamp they might sound ok. I guess I'm curious if anyone has used a tech21 di or a valvedrive into the PA and how it sounded.

Apologies if that has been discussed, the search wasn't bringing up any threads... While I'm looking for an amp, I had the idea of getting a preamp pedal and running into an active cab. I've got four db opera 415 cabs that I aren't using at the moment so I was thinking about either the tech21 bass di pedal or an ebs valvedrive to run into one (or two). Has anyone tried something similar and had successful results or should I just hold out for the right amp?

I used to have some custom moulded but they disappeared somewhere along the way (made a mistake of ordering clear ones) How have you found the moulding your own? It looks easy enough and most reviews are positive so I'm tempted to try it.

I use a google calendar and nag at people to put when they are available or busy. In practise there always seems to be a technophobe in every band who forgets/can't be bothered but if most people use it then it saves a bit of time and helps keep things organised... I haven't come across anything that would also send emails but I suspect the same people who can't update the calendar would also not read those emails ;-)
