Just booked a bed for the night before and a meal date for me and a book. A bit of quality time with myself

[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.

[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.

[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.

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!

Anyone brining anything to sell? If so it might help to flag it up here.

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.

I love new preamp days!

Me too. And now I am watching it. I would pay good money to be on this gig.

Do it.

[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.

Ummmmmmmmm....................

Thanks for the practical thoughts, however "cutting it back to a radius that suits you" tells me that we clearly live at opposite ends of the woodworking food chain I even have to get my father in law to put shelves up for me However it is a fun project which will cost me approx £30 so I cannot resist trying it. The point about longer strings makes sense. I will measure up before cutting anything. Thanks

[quote name='Andyjr1515' timestamp='1471631656' post='3114673'] ...and I'm not sure I do understand what you are planning to do....or how. [/quote] I am aiming to take the fingerboard and nut off the DB, cut the fingerboard down and glue it onto the present fingerboard of the Uke. I will need a curved bridge so will cut that down and shape it so that it will sit in the slot that the present bridge sits in so that I can use the piezo. This will give me a small EUB. In theory.

[quote name='TheRev' timestamp='1471631427' post='3114667'] I Inderstand what you're planning to do but I'm not sure why you're doing it! [/quote] Because I can! Actually, we will see about that. I like playing with my right hand in the DB position and thought this would be an interesting experiment as the bass Uke does give a DB-esque thud.

I saw Moving Hearts live in Caernarfon during the filming for a Welsh TV series. It was one of the best gigs I have ever seen - they had it all, including a superb bassist. They had a female singer with them who did not seem to be with them when I hunted their stuff down afterwards. Just superb.

I have a Thoman Deco Uke Bass which works fine and dandy [url="http://s8.photobucket.com/user/peredur/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20160818_210746_zpskigkrbsa.jpg.html"][/url] I have a DB which has seen MUCH better days - check the screw hole in the fingerboard [url="http://s8.photobucket.com/user/peredur/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20160818_210729_zpsbwufej3m.jpg.html"][/url] and the neck [url="http://s8.photobucket.com/user/peredur/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20160818_210720_zpskr84oc1r.jpg.html"][/url] I have the bridge [url="http://s8.photobucket.com/user/peredur/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20160818_210736_zpsswwhgo0u.jpg.html"][/url] What I fancy doing is taking the fingerboard and nut off the DB and slapping them onto the the fingerboard on the Uke. I also will cut the bridge up so that it will slot into where the present bridge lies on the piezo pickup. What could possibly go wrong? I am open to suggestions. Please pile in as I have NO expereince doing this stuff but just want to try it. I mean, how hard can it be? I reserve the right to take an AWFULLY long time doing it. Thanks to Scojack for the name idea a long time ago.

I have. It is a lovely piece of kit. The eq is very responsive making it really easy to dial in what you want, especially with the movable frequency points. They make it able to fit your instrument nicely. 2 channel presets means that gigging 2 different instruments is easy peasy. It is really well thought out and the fact that Bergantino have already produced a software upgrade means that they are clearly working the design. It is has plenty of grunt and is light as a feather. All this added to the fact that I have had truly exceptional customer service from Bergantino makes me a fan.

Joshua Redman Elastic Band. Lovely keys bass.

Cannot remember what it is called but small TC comp is great. Endlessly tweakable in software and one knob for the gig.
