  1. I saw SRV back in the day. I have not played a Dumble but his was so loud that the rhythm section were reduced to bit part players.
  2. Is the wiring on the Sandberg correct? It sounds like there might be a phase issue.
  3. [URL=http://s8.photobucket.com/user/peredur/media/NHOslashP_zpsct0dmvty.jpg.html][IMG]http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a49/peredur/NHOslashP_zpsct0dmvty.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
  4. Danish Double Bassists intimidate me.
  5. The event is in The Risely Park. I imagine it has been booked by BassAce in his own name as a private function so they would look confused if you mentioned a Double Bass Bash. I hope that clarifies
  6. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1473088268' post='3126771'] If you're bringing a Howlett, Owen, I may have to bring a B-stock Deko Harley Benton from Thomann so that we can A/B them. [/quote] I will not 0ut the NS in unless anyone REALLY wants to try one.
  7. Based on using one and an A&H analogue desk with the same rig I am not convinced that the Mackie delivers proper grownup line level. I have never seen anything about it online but I always have to whack the vol up on the speakers with the Mackie.
  8. Yet again I come to realise that fretless is just not for me. This is a Mexican Jazz that a student of mine bought a Fender Mexican fretless neck to put on it. It does all the things a fretless does including, for me, playing out of tune. This never fails to amaze me becaue I am a DB player and intonation is not an issue on that but I have never "got" fretlesses. I am now old enough to know bette, but that never seems to stop me trying. Ho hum. I will throw the sticker on the back in as a free gift cos I am good that way.

  9. Just booked a bed for the night before and a meal date for me and a book. A bit of quality time with myself
  10. [quote name='sarah thomas' timestamp='1472719642' post='3123551'] I know! A few years back, I decided that having some simple, clear priorities would help in these situations. They are these: 1 Family. 2 Friends. 3 Music. 4 Work. So that's that. Family first. [/quote] Ho hum But priorities in the right place. Cannot fault them.
  11. [quote name='4stringslow' timestamp='1472722705' post='3123606'] Three drivers in a 2.7 ohm cab suggests they are all 8 ohm drivers wired in parallel. Not much scope for useful rewiring - unless you want a 12 or 24 ohm cab A 5.3 ohm cab would likely use three 16 ohm drivers in parallel. Handy calculator here: [url="http://www.1728.org/resistrs.htm"]http://www.1728.org/resistrs.htm[/url] [/quote] BC always delivers
  12. [quote name='sarah thomas' timestamp='1472565394' post='3122151'] Argh! I am no longer able to attend the DBB because I will be celebrating my brother in law's 50th. Ah well, swings and roundabouts and all that. Please post some pictures and tell me all about it.. I will be mostly drinking gin. [/quote] This is a very poor show.
  13. The Epifani one is 5.3 ohms. A 4 ohm minimum head would not be very happy being driven down to 2.7ohms. The magic smoke might well come out of the amp. Someone who is cleverer than me will be along soon who will be able to guess the impedance of the individual speakers and give other impedance options by re-wiring it.

    A hot knife. Sadly not going as fast as a hot knife through butter. [URL=http://s8.photobucket.com/user/peredur/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20160829_165201_zpskhvjamad.jpg.html][IMG]http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a49/peredur/Mobile%20Uploads/20160829_165201_zpskhvjamad.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

    [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1471809552' post='3116086'] I had no idea you were this weird. [/quote] Believe it!
  16. Bangor, North Wales, but postage is included in the price
  17. Anyone brining anything to sell? If so it might help to flag it up here.
  18. The reality is that either will be fine. I have tried both and although there are differences, they were not enough to be a major issue either way.
  19. Me too. And now I am watching it. I would pay good money to be on this gig.
  20. [quote name='OddBass65' timestamp='1471819720' post='3116195'] The very lovely Leslie Dowdall and In Tua Nua... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InmR5R1X428 [/quote] She looks as if she was was the one singing with Moving Hearts on this Welsh TV special I saw. Would that be so?

    Yep, I hope it will sit upright on my knee. I hope.
