Seems if you book UPS through Interparcel for a 15kg box of that size the cost is £141.43 which is astronomical, we get pallets delivered on trolleys for under half that: https://uk.interparcel.com/quote/courier-quote2?quote_key=rkHNTCMPnave9LkATiFH If you had used Parcel Force the excess would have been under a tenner. Btw the £116 figure is the actual price you should be paying as that's the difference between the original fee and the above one, they've stuck an extra £15 charge on it, probably to give themselves some wiggle room to get you to pay up. Tricky situation really as you had given the dimensions of the parcel you booked to the seller and he disregarded it.

Nice one thanks, do you use the old Mini or a more powerful iPad? I'm just concerned about it not running well on obsolete hardware. I will hopefully be using v5 with my old Bay Trail Windows 2 in 1 tablet rather than Android, tbh I have no qualms about buying a better Windows device as it will get used elsewhere and would replace a current unit. Tbh I don't really want to buy Apple or Android tablet just for this as I don't use them really, all my tech is Windows or Linux apart from my phone. I do have access to our keyboard player's iPad but it's a bit of a faff to reach over, unlock it, switch monitor mixes and change levels mid gig, would much rather have my own which is unlocked and easily accessible.

Had a quick look and you are correct, they want you to pay them extra money to get it there within the specified time period you had already paid for. Great company!

Have a look in their T&Cs to see if there's anything about when they are contracted to deliver it within a set period of time, reasonable delays etc. If you think you have a claim and aren't getting anywhere then ask to speak to someone higher up. I sold an acoustic a few years ago and the courier tried to deliver it to the recipient's workplace multiple times late in the evening (like ~8pm) when it was closed, I checked their T&Cs and found this was against their own stipulated hours and rang CS only to be told I would have to pay to ship it again with no refund. I asked to speak to someone higher up as was rudely told I would get the same answer but miraculously after less than a minute of speaking to said higher up I was issued an apology and full refund.

Looking for a cheap (and hopefully temporary) solution to Mackie not providing support for non iOS devices with the DL32R, noticed you can get the original Gen 1 iPad Mini for about £50 used but I'm not familiar with Apple stuff and am aware they like to cripple old devices. Is this still ok to run Master Fader or will it be sluggish as hell? Don't want to run anything else on it at all, will just be used for that one app and then sold when Mackie get their @rse in gear RE software support.

I use (or rather used as I have to go in ears now) a Fishman pre straight into a powered cab. The signal chain is pretty much the same just without the cabs being potentially specifically tailored for bass. It's still bass > preamp > power amp > speaker, just in a slightly different arrangement. I preferred it in all honesty but my favourite sounds have always been clean bass with a bit of compression straight into the desk.

There's generally lots of love for Sire on here and pretty much everywhere else where they get mentioned! I gig a V7 5 string as my main bass and it's been fantastic, there's not a sound I want that I can't get out of it just by using the preamp which is outstanding on a bass in that price range. The stock hardware is functional and gets the job done but if you're used to nicer stuff on other basses you might feel like it is too much of a cost saving measure especially if it is your main bass, I did and upgraded the tuners and bridge with Schaller and Gotoh units respectively. No brand snobbery, just wanting something I really like to have no drawbacks really. A few people have had snapped intonation screws on the original MkI bridge but I'm not sure if they changed it for the MkII.

Can find this on their T&C (https://uk.interparcel.com/terms😞 5.3 Payment is taken by our automated system at the end of your order once the service has been booked with our Carrier. PLEASE NOTE THAT IN ADDITION TO THE CHARGES WHICH ARE QUOTED AT THE TIME OF YOUR ORDER, SURCHARGES MAY ALSO BE PAYABLE BY YOU IF, FOR EXAMPLE, THE CONSIGNMENT IS NOT AS DESCRIBED WHEN COLLECTION IS ATTEMPTED OR IF THE CONSIGNMENT IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR COLLECTION AT THE SPECIFIED TIME. FURTHER DETAILS ARE SET OUT IN SECTION 6 BELOW 6.1 Certain surcharges may be payable by you in addition to the carriage fees which are set out as the cost for the standard delivery of your order. When a surcharge is payable, it may be charged directly to the payment method used to make the initial order (if you have consented to this). If we have not obtained your consent to charge surcharges directly to your original payment method, we will contact you directly to arrange payment. 6.2 Any Surcharges represent the additional administrative costs which will be suffered by Interparcel and charges which Interparcel may incur from the Carriers and are not penalties imposed by Interparcel. This information is made available to you prior to placing your order. Important bit here: 6.3.4 By entering the weight and dimensions of your Consignment/s you are pre paying for the postage. If the Consignment /s are heavier or larger then the additional weight/size will be charged at the applicable rate to the card that the order was placed on together with a surcharge of £15 + VAT. We refer to this charge as the 'Manual Fee'. Seems like UPS are charging you over £100 fine for oversize goods... Tempting to tell them to go fück themselves but get proper advice first.

Would be a shame to remove the googly eyes and the Poundland craft felt stars though.

Watch out chaps, Basschat's hand-wringing defence league are on amber alert and will be ready to press the report button as soon as they've finished patting themselves on the back.

I'll have a word with our guitarist who does the sound.

I think our monitor feed is mono at the moment, will check. Really impressed with the ZS10s btw, got them for about £26 on the KZ Official Alixpress store where they seem to be on permanent sale and they handle an unbearable amount of bass, going to get a 2nd set for home practice.

Nice one thanks, think I'll just go for the P2. Currently using cheap rechargeable headphone amps which crap out at moderate volume. "especially if you are using modern desks where you have control over the whole mix from a tablet or phone anyway." We use a DL32R, just waiting for Mackie to disengage their fingers from their bums and release a Windows or Android app for it!

Put 4 of them on the back so the tension pulls it the other way, voila a straight neck!

The stacked pots need hex bolt knobs don't they? The EMG ones I mentioned before work fine and fit perfectly, for the standard split shaft pots I used cheapo push-fit Tele knobs off eBay.

Funnily enough I saw the Fischers first then noticed the Behringers which looked pretty much the same, naturally assumed the substantial price difference would translate to a big gap in audio quality but it's been a while since I've used a Behringer product that didn't punch well above it's weight.

Quick question (or two) - looking at getting the Behringer P2 but noticed it seems to be a clone of a much more expensive Fischer unit, is there as much of a difference as the price suggests? Also would spending a little extra on the P1 be useful? Is there a difference in sound and/or battery life and could I mix two different signals (ie me and the rest of the band) and blend them with this unit? Also seems to be a clone of a Fischer jobby.

I agree with the site owner, sort it out Ashdown!

I did the same with a knackered Kinsman combo I got for 99p on eBay, amp was fine but the rest of the amp was totally crushed (well it was made from what looks like pressed cardboard and sawdust!) and the speaker was shot (or just bad to begin with). Looks to be the same generic amp as yours. Still need to reshell it but it works brilliantly and I was able to reuse a lot of the screws and feet to keep costs down: Speakon/jack combi socket looks wonky but that's just the perspective, these seem to be predrilled for a jack socket but you can easliy widen it for a Speakon. Ended up costing me a total of £6.77 to have a micro head!

Or get in literally any car Mrs. Lemmywinks buys. Pretty sure she does it deliberately.

I only need a 34" leg as I'm long in the body, finding longline tshirts and shirts on the other hand is a royal PITA.

I'm 6'6", used to think I was 6'5" until I got properly measured and it turned out I was an inch taller, felt like I'd won something although I'm not sure what. A bit like earlier this year when I forgot my age and thought I was a year older for a few months. It was like I'd got an extra year of life when I realised.

That's some ambitious flipping!

I thought you meant Speakons or Jacks, for speaker leads I always go Speakon connectors. Even though I no longer use an amp for gigging I kept all my obbm cables, just in case!
