The easy answer is to 3D print some sleeves for the pots, they can even have angled ends. OR: You could probably use two of these (audio taper on tone won't do any harm) https://northwestguitars.co.uk/products/cts-500k-long-split-shaft-potentiometer-audio-taper

Recently added to our setlist. Luvvit.

I feel old - my STP was to thicken up oil for ratty engines in old cars.

Which one? I'm guessing the Firebird, because my Embassy which sounds lots like a Firebird is a wall-shaker! D'oh! You mean the other one... I assumed the Godin was a venue in Dorchester... 🤣

That's the biggest 2.5GHz wireless transmitter I've seen.

But he's got to use up 128 rolls of signal red pla!

"NL2 Speakon cables (2-pole) are compatible with both NL2 and NL4 panel jacks, while NL4 cables (4-pole) only fit NL4 jacks, creating a one-way compatibility. A 2-pole plug works in a 4-pole socket because it uses the 1+ and 1- contacts, but a 4-pole plug is physically too large for a 2-pole socket."

Just watched the video. That deer eerily reminds me of Hartley Hare...

I exaggerated... took the plaster off it's 2.5mm by 11mm. But the 'flap' doesn't look like it's going to make it 😞

Yesterday morning I picked up a few items that had fallen out of the recycling bag. A bean can lid made a big slice along my ring fingernail. Spent all day with it plastered up and it appeared to have sealed, but I touched it up with superglue just in case... Last night's Fortunate Sons gig was for the Rusty Sprocket MCC and locals at a pub in Rumney. Usually the band play their festival every year but this year the dates didn't work, a shame as it's an event I'd love to play. Setting up this happened... yes leaking either side of the glue patch. It stopped bleeding but a rummage in my hits box later and it opened right up, about 4mm deep and 15mm long. Luckily th drummer has special 'wrap' elastoplasts with long tails. I've still got it on and will leave it for a couple of days. Gig itself was good although I made a few fluffs, only partly due to my padded ginger ... like remembering to tune back up from D but not switching myself off standby. Got an immense sound from my Epiphone Embassy with a nice overdrive when digging in. Great reception and possibility of a slot at a big bike festival in the summer.

Humour bypass going ok?

Great singer too... better than the original!

Thomann no hidden costs.

Indeed, it's just intuitively I'd expect all FRFR cabs to sound the same, but many sound utterly lifeless and the Monza doesn't. The answer is presumably that not all FRFR cabs are created equal, or even truly FRFR.

I like the sound of my GRBass AT212; in a shootout with a Monza it was generally felt it sounds slightly scooped by comparison, bit not far off 'flat'. Both sounded good with a various types of music played through them, and obviously sound great with bass played through them. I have a number of inexpensive all-in-one cabs that sound fine for music or when used as low powered PA that would probably be considered as FRFR (or meant to be). My cheap reference mic suggests they are a bit short <100Hz and above 11 or 12KHz and wander up and down by about +/-5 dB across that range (partly due to me measuring in a living room, I suspect). They sound weak with bass through them, if detailed, and an IR cabsim transforms them. I suppose I ought to (1) see if I can measure the response of my GRBass cab and (2) see what happens if I power it via the Cube Baby.

I have a cheap 'Cube Baby'. The improvement in the sound through an (allegedly) FRFR speaker when I switch in any IR into the signal chain is very noticeable. This suggests speaker colouration of the sound IS important, so what is going on?

Some great songs in there. Is gates of babylon a cover of the Rainbow song?

!

I heard you keep them in a special shed. A sort of Jabba Hut.

I would like to see those Jbbas again.

WinISD will calculate rectangular ports. I've done it the old fashioned way in the past - make a port that looks right (about ¼ to ⅓ driver diameter) and make a cardboard tube(s) and adjust the length until you get a sound you are happy with.

Fortunate Sons this evening. More of a try out the latest iteration of the pa than owt else tonight. An hour of set up. Fancy new speaker stans with handles to raise them up after you put them on the poles! Focused on our second set. Had a few fumbles and a complete brain fart on I'm a man... what could be simpler?

Say you'll pay once you've seen a photo of the bass with today's newspaper.

Tell him you're happy to pay once you have checked the bass over and wait for it to go through before taking it.
