    I'll bring something. Fancy bringing stuff people will think is shite but sounds killer.

    I know. But the effective cone diameter of a speaker is roughly 1 ½" to 2" less than the overall diameter - measure diameter across the midline of the suspension roll. 1 ½" off four 5" speakers is a lot more, proportionally than 2" off a 10" speaker. You'd need more than five such smaller speakers to equal the larger one.

    Root beer, if MusicMan. Rickenbacker probably call it turdglo.

    Absurd! It's now reduced to £40, I've had to order another one to replace the boring spotlight! https://www.temu.com/goods.html?_bg_fs=1&goods_id=603634750295096&sku_id=61042222696856&_x_sessn_id=uws6uq4cnj&refer_page_name=bgt_order_detail&refer_page_id=10045_1763745067885_qjhig5v54u&refer_page_sn=10045&is_back=1&no_cache_id=5u5we

    One that was at a ridiculously cheap price on TEMU (£44!) all the others were significantly more, but it works perfectly and is reasonably bright. Fan cooled. Quiet and a metal case.

    That's achieving new levels of illegibility!

    I've invested a small (tiny) fortune in six cheap dmx PAR lights (excellent) a DMX spot (OK but really too tight for a static lamp) and a tilt/pan spot (the dogs). The £19 controller is effective but programming needs the manual to hand!

    It's a colour that looks good on Stilton. Perhaps they should add blue-green veins?

    Took my Thunder 1 to a jam this week and it turned heads with the sound. I described it as 'more like a precision than a precision'. Roto 66s past the 'out of the packet' stage but sounding great.

    A while ago I splashed out on a cheap Kay Gremlin. The nachine heads responded to a drop of oil and I decided the pickup was ok. The slightly worn finish I tarted up with ratty mustang stripes and added a tiny amount of extra wear on the upper bout. Needed a shim to let me drop the bridge. Took me a couple of sessions to sort the frets... I suspect a few might lift again. I only resorted to superglue on one. Lots of filing, scraping and stoning. Action isn't super low but is much better. Quite a fun wee thing now.

    Actually a 5" is slightly less cone area than a quarter of a 10", because the frame and surround are included in the diameter and as their widths are similar (to allow similar rigidity and excursion) the functional area of the cone is a smaller proportion of the overall area.

    I usually go for 1 ½. Have never had an E-string slip.

    I'm firmly anti-gua. I assume the name is wordplay on 'gua-no'

    Spot the AI journalism...

    Played a (PJ) Fender Mustang at a jam last Saturday (strictly the early hours of Sunday...) Flats, lots of foam at the bridge, but it played fine. The strap was very short so I felt like Mark King...
  19. Stub Mandrel
    Thanks for reminding me... those holes add important mojo. Even better if the cover marks the body around the bridge.

    Lol @Chienmortbb just cross posted exactly my point, more eloquently.
  21. Stub Mandrel
    Some of those points occurred to me. I thought of how LFSYS came to be... they meet the requirements of a passive PA. Most people who make cabs do it out of curiosity and creativity, not to save money or even to achieve exceptional results. It's an extension to their hobby.

    Last night Fractured Persona took a four song slot at a jam night. Squeezed in a tiny space. Lots of love for my Westone Thunder 1. Went very well and a big confidence boost for our less experienced members. A few fluffs, notably thinking we were at the end too soon, but...

    I've never pushed my Orange Terror 500W up to full power. Admittedly, I have a very efficient speaker cab, but unless you have a very inefficient cab, 500W will always give you enough stage volume, and if it's not loud enough to fill the whole venue, why aren't you going through the PA?
  24. Stub Mandrel
    There are plenty of songs defined by their basslines but the great unwashed don't recognise them as such.
  25. Stub Mandrel
    All true, but that argument applies equally to bass cabs.
