    I have never enjoyed speakers as much as the two sets of ATCs I have been around in my life. I will not be buying these, not because I don't want to, but because life. Here is a link to a review of them if you have not run into these before https://www.whathifi.com/reviews/atc-scm50

    At least that means you are not carrying the PA system and rigging/running it. FWIW I depped with a band last night and sold them my A&H stuff. So I no longer have a vested interest. And I still think the OP should go digital.

    SRM450 are nice and beefy. I found mine to be slightly shouty in the hi-mid when pushed hard, but a little eq on the main send of a digital desk tamed that nicely. Digital desks are the bomb. You can also (depending on desk - if I were to need it I would not sell my A&H) eq all the mud out of each and every monitor send just to clean up your onstage sound. In analogue desk world that is a rack of EQ + inset leads + set up time + transport space and weight. Super duper moulded in ears are lovely ( I am sure) but you can in ear remarkably well with a decent pair of ear buds , a multi channel headphone amp and headphone extension leads. Then you do not need to carry wedges. Then you have a much quieter stage. Then you have a better FOH sound and less setup time and transport space and weight. I am quite enthusiastic about all this - I cannot think of a single reason to use an analogue desk. There is a reason that their 2nd hand value is through the floor.

    He is the bomb.

    To all the cabs I've loved before.............

    For clarity, I am selling so I would be all enthusiastic about them However, I cannot think of a single reason to use a powered mixer and passive speakers these days. Newer active speakers are not super heavy and the digital desks do SO MUCH more than analogue ones ever could. Onboard compression for each channel. More FX than anyone knows what to do with. Programme a mix per song. Give everyone control over their own monitor mixes. Multitrack the gig. Huge EQ possibilities, both on channels and on each output. The list goes on and on. For good measure, I would buy a Yamaha EAD10 to mic the drums. Expensive, but a set of drum mics will be £200 minimum, add cables, stands and a larger multicore to the mix then it starts to pay it's way. And of course there is the drummer setting up all their audio instead of sound bod doing it. Win/Win.

    I have no use for that. Why do I want it?
  11. Owen
    Regrets........I have a few.........but then again.....too many to mention............ By now I am much more canny with purchases and just do not buy new. EVERYTHING comes along it you wait for it.

    Mrs owen? Is that you? The speed I will be going at means that getting my hands on my DIY bass will take a LONG time. I actually need to learn how to woodwork first.
  13. Owen
    It's no good. I cannot stop myself. I have dropped you a PM. The rest of you can guess what I want.
  14. Owen
    Ugh! (In a good way).
  15. Owen
    I'm glad that went to a good home. I spent some time considering it.
  16. Owen
    It's getting real.

    I like cheese as much as I like cake and bass so it could be a good combination. But I will not use it to learn with. Whitewood = 6x4 joists?
  18. Owen
    Thanks, it is lovely. The bass itself is a 73 neck and body from here, with 2nd hand parts from on here picked up as and when they appeared. The scratchplate is a Spitfire one. It hurt when I paid, but a thing of beauty is a joy forever The case is now sold.

    Pictures of the outside would be such an obvious thing to do. I spent so much time working out why the format my phone takes picture in were not loading that I was just happy to get any of them up.
  20. Owen
    Phew!

    My wife has just treated me to Record spokeshave. She is greatful because apparently I am tricky to get presents for. I am now going to buy a piece of Alder to practice on. And someone has suggested Lime as easy to work for a rank amateur like myself. So I will get some of that as well. Good times.

    Retro169 on Facebook has done some lovely work for me.

    It is not a Pelican case, it is an Explorer case. Equally as good.

    This came with my Reverend Brad Houser bass which I bought back in the day when the £/$ was not tragic. The Brad Houser is long gone but the case has been in the basement for years. It has been reliced by a mouse but is absolutely structurally sound. As an aside we put traps down and warned the children not to go close to them because they could hurt. "What are they for?" my 6 year old daughter asked. "To get rid of the mouse which is eating my kit" I answered. She started crying and asked "but what about their families?". Anyway - it is a tight fit for a P but it fits. if I was going to to use it in anger on a regular basis I would slice a small part of the storage compartment cover off. But I am never going to use it. I will wrap it in bubble wrap and you can arrange any courier you want
