It's a high pass filter with full range sent to the 10" speakers, they will have no effect on the crossover frequency.

It has a 3.5khz crossover.

Assuming you're going to build 4 cabinets. 3 for 10" speakers and one for the amp. What about the horn? Put it in one of the cabs? At least you have the option of putting it all back in place. Try and get the Theile and Small characteristics and there was a program called winISD that would show you plots depending on cab dimensions. Don't know if it still exists.

She has been ill lately. That may have been one reason not to have a fully rehearsed band up and running. Dancers can learn their stuff in seconds and from recorded music. Having a band recording music and then sending it to dancers seems to be quite a lot of work.

I used to spend a long time messing with EQ before the gig and the fiddling during the gig. Until I realised that unless the stage is suspended and there's loads of boom due to the space under the floor being coupled to the bass cab, there was no real point. Let the gear sound as 'transparent' as possible. Maybe it's just a confidence/experience thing. It goes along with your bedroom tone won't sound like your band rehearsal tone which won't sound like your live sound. Listen to any well known band live and they won't have the same sound as they have on their recordings. Close maybe but it will be a live sound.

I see this a lot and wonder whether they actually expect us to bring people with us from miles away or whether they are expecting us to drum up a local following. Depending on the size of a village (we have 1500 households) this is a pretty tough thing to do without help from the actual pub. And again that's my earlier point of chatting to the landlord/lady and getting them onside. If they are interested in attracting people to their pub then they should be telling everyone local that there is a great band on this weekend. Does having an avaerage band every Friday or Saturday actually work for small pubs in small villages. Would a high quality band every payday weekend work better? Having said that we once played a gig in a town and the place was rammed, several people came up to us afterwards and said they don't normally come in to that pub because the bands aren't very good, but heard us playing and had to come in. I'm not sure we are any better than most bands, just maybe our choice of songs is not standards. We play tunes mainly from the last 20 years with a few classic 99s tracks.

To confuse things further generally a "9v" PP3 is around 7.6v

Ah ok. I misunderstood, I thought you were converting all your flats to sharps because you didn't like flats. 😆 You only get bbs and ##s. And it's not jazz, it's just normal theory.

We can just about manage with 2, it's like herding cats as it is.

Not knowing the difference between a Gb and an F# can really play havoc with band communication. I was once trying to teach a guitarist a tune and when I said play Gb he just looked at me blankly. That was in a heavy rock trio.

We have 2 separate what'sapp chats. One for general chatter, setting up gigs, arranging practices and choosing new tunes. The other just has details of gigs we are playing. This means no searching in the main chat and we can delete past gig messages. It stays very clean and empty except for upcoming gigs.

I think these odd keys are really used when transposing or modulating within a piece. If you're playing in a flat key and modulate to a key that would contain sharps it can be difficult to switch mid tune.

You can't write it unless you have each note named individually. See my reply above.

If you are playing a tyne in F major, the notes are. F G A Bb C D E F Not F G A A# C D E F When scoring the former you just put a b on the stave at the start on the B line and everyone knows to flatten the B everytime you play it. In the latter case, you'd put no #s or bs on the stave and everytime you wanted to play an A# you'd have to add a # to that note. The peice would be extremely cluttered and horrendous to read. So there's a reason to have bs, it's not pretentious bellshill.

He's probably a mod and Ska fan, or his locals are. We also have an issue that the Locals seem to run the local pub. I go in, and I'll talk to the locals but they're not people I'd spend time with otherwise. The problem is they bring a lot of money in but they also make the place seem unfriendly for others. Just makes the place like a private members club.

Never underestimate the power of chat. If you turn up and say you're the band where do you want us and then practically ignore the landlord you just won't be on their radar. You'll just be the band they booked last week. Some people just have the gift of talking to people and making them their friend. Arrive, introduce yourself by name, find out their name. Ask how business is, strike up a conversation. Literally get to know them and make them your friend. Then talk to them in the break and then again after you've played. My local landlady seems to only book the acts she can relate to on a personal level, it's certainly not due to their musicianship, and when the artist turns up they spend a long time chatting to her before they start playing. Artists who don't do the chat don't seem to get booked again. And that's pretty how 80% of any jobs go, when everyones CV is the same, you get the job in the interview because you get along on that personal level.

With respect you have no idea what you are talking about. Many of us on the forum deal with this all day everyday for a living. Thanks.

No we were talking about electricity. If it goes directly from one side of your head to the other your brain is protected by the skull having high resistance. You'll just get badly burned skin. If it goes directly across your body (and the heart) - you're dead. It's why RCDs have to trip at 30mA within a set time. You get struck by lightening or get a mains shock, and the path doesn't go across your body you'll probably be lucky and not die immediately.

Not if the current goes through the heart.

Maybe they would have been more concerned if you'd bashed one their £150k 'keyboards'! 😆

The Wikipedia article points out it's the high skull resistance that lowered the current. If you put that voltage across your body it would destroy your heart. It would certainly kill you if you put the electrodes in your mouth.

In the interests of BassChat Science I have performed an experiment. The resistance of my 10" Adjustable spanner is 0.4Ω The resistance of 1/4" of my tongue is 153kΩ I calculate the current through the spanner given a 6v source would be 6/0.4 = 15amps, this would give 90watts of heating. And probably glow like a light bulb! I calculate the current through my tongue given a 9v source would be 9/153000 = 58μA, that would give 0.5mW of heating. Its well below the 30mA level that could be potentially lethal. So similar values to those that @tauzero obtained.

I think this stems from certain members who think they're above playing the venues. Usually its the members who don't actually book gigs and then complain that the band isn't getting any gigs. We did turn up to a gig once where the landlord said we weren't the kind of band he wanted paying at his pub. The pub had changed hands, he'd seen that "we were booked on Lemonrock, but he had no way of contacting us." He spent the entire night upstairs, the audience loved us, dancing and at the end had lots said we were better than the other bands he'd been putting on. He came down to pay us and said he wouldn't be rebooking us because his customers didn't want our kind of band. Anyway, he's gone now and we really should go and see the new landlord for a gig.

Legal Tender does not mean what people think it does. If someone offers you money, you are perfectly within your rights to refuse, regardless to whether its English or Scottish, and you can refuse to sell them the goods if they don't agree to your payment terms. https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/explainers/what-is-legal-tender
