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

[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.

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.

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.

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]

Bangor, North Wales, but postage is included in the price -
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.

Anyone have any experience with the Bergantino B-Amp yet?
Owen replied to Dood's topic in Amps and Cabs
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.

U2 and the Irish Uprising of the Eightees
Owen replied to SpondonBassed's topic in General Discussion
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.
