Thanks dude. Spot on All was revealed here

Yer welcome H. Love to see it when it's sorted

Judging by how old this vid is, would this be the Palladeum ? Impressive tone, but Jeff could make anything sound good

The quality will be top notch, but they only make 3 - Jazz, Precision or Musicman. Which are you are after ?

Billy Cobham , what a hero. Love 'm. Go check out Cobham's ' Spectrum ' album. Mindblowing

Dont remember that but do remember Quo's Alan Lancaster playing a Kramer, though a different model to the OP's. Lancaster also played a Bean at some point

Back to the lawsuit - how was the baby exploited ? Surely the parents gave permission, in which case the grown baby is just after some easy dollars. Glad it was rejected. Nobhead

Yeah there is that but i think i can adjust the eq to cope with the lack of cabs and run the DI post eq.

I suppose is it is but surely i get vocals and guitar , or whatever else I want through it. Doesn't seem to be a need to have cabs and a monitor or am I thinking this arris about face ?

Is it ok to use an amp ( Genz 6.2 ) and no cabs live ? Just use D.I. and a monitor ? My monitor is a 400 watt wedge, and band is just a duo with backing tracks

Let me think for a sec...

There's shortcomings with all systems i suppose. A pro PA has the weight and size I think a fair few systems are better buys than the Bose. EG the EV Evolve

These people did a rather in depth review, and better than anything i could write https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/yamaha-stagepas-1k

Wondering when i can get to try them out. The reviews were good

I've run passive and active basses through the 6.2 and never had the O/L light up, which is a testament to what you say. Its a fabulous amp, and this is my 2nd Genz. My first was a 9.2 Max which was a veritable beast.

Nah CB, the Piezo wire is not touching the bridge, as noted in your quote, so i was thinking, maybe incorrectly, that it DOES need to touch the underside of the bridge, which is the opposite of wha you say, but that also doesnt seem like a solution either. Looks to me like i need to contact my mate Dave Smart, who's some wizard extraordinaire with electronics

The curtains came with the PA towers as a gift, which was a nice surprise. I've sent both the Yamaha Stagepas 1k back and kept the curtains

Maybe that piezo wire needs to touch the underside of the new bridge ? It isnt right now. What i can say is there is only pot that affects the piezo, which is it's own volume. There is no tone pot for it, although there is a 3 way blend switch for mags only , piezo only, or blending both

Yooohar !

This is a bit more awkward then it seems, as the bass has 2 mag pups and a piezo bridge, and the bridge G intonation ran out of adjustment, and i dont really use the piezo, so i changed the bridge to a regular one. There were 2 wires to the original bridge , one for the earthing as per standard basses ( bare wire squashed when mounting the bridge ) and one that was soldered to what look like some tracks underneath the piezo brisdge , though they're not gold, but silver I left the normal black earth wire under the new bridge, obviously, but the black piezo wire i coiled up and left inside the hole that it emerges from, which incidentally, is the same hole that the regular earth emerges from. Is this my problem ? The batteries are brand new 9v's ( one each for Piezo and Mags i presume ) and are going flat with bass cable removed in less than a week after a full charge

No, i cant seem to light up the input O/L ( underneath the Gain/Gain Vol ) even with gain fully up and grumbling

Indeed - hasnt visited for 18 months Could be life got in the way, as sometimes happens

You can get it out with Optrex White pearl is the biz on that Blue-ish Turq

Certainly isn't if you have a colour TV
