If you tag @No. 8 Wire they should get an alert about it, in case they aren’t subscribed to the quite old thread any more. In any case it sounds as if it should work, as long as you can feed a hot enough signal to the amp’s ‘audio in’.

Ha, I’d forgotten the rest of his website was still up and running after the forums finally went down…

I don’t want to be a miserable git on Blue Monday of all days 😁 but your link literally explains that it’s complete bullocks invented by a PR agency and even the guy who originally put his name to it now campaigns against the thing. By all means listen to some New Order though.

Which prompted me to go listening to some other jazz guitarists, and so find out that Ronny Jordan died back in 2014 😢 However that led me to rediscover this

Low mass, high stiffness: what’s not to like?

As I read it @nige1968 knows which terminal is which on the new speaker, but not which of the wires in the amp to connect to them. If the amp has an output for an extension speaker then I’d expect a multimeter to show continuity between the wire that should connect to speaker negative and the sleeve of the extension out jack, no?

I’m going to put a vote in for Me’shell Ndegéocello. Prove me wrong…

I’m going to use Tuff Cab for the outside of the cabinet, just not for the baffle. I’ve used it before and found it very easy to apply and get a decent looking finish, using the rollers that Blue Aran sell. There’s a blog post on their website about how to use it which includes some handy tips.

I thought that sounded familiar - I know this version:

Marion & Sobo Band - Die Badewanne voller Bier

Well that’s just a silly example. I mean, you haven’t even said how big the pieces of pizza are.

NUDE PIX The baffle didn’t need sanding back to bare wood as I’m painting that black rather than Tuff Cabbing it and I’ve tested the black paint on an offcut and it seems to stick fine over the horrible, horrible Hammerite. Next up, final woodwork, and getting started on assembling the crossover…

Given the apparently even split here between HPFfirstians and HPFlastians, I have to wonder if there’s a case for two HPF stages, one before any other effects or EQ and one after… maybe at 12 dB/octave each?

I would phone a harp shop and ask who they’d use.

Hmm, I had one of those and the fan went on and off annoyingly even with little or no load on the amp, so I ended up eBaying it. Sounds like one of us got a faulty one.

Probably not what you were thinking of if you were thinking of a tu… ahem, a valve head, but eBay is awash with titchy fanless Class D ‘hi-fi’ amplifiers, for only twenty or thirty quid even from UK sellers, which I assume would work fine if driven from a suitable preamp or multi-effect pedal. They’re probably only actually good for about a tenth of their rated power, but I expect that would be enough.

I think the theory and the listening have to go hand in hand - you’ll get more out of the listening if you know some of the things you’re listening for, but there’s no point taking on board a whole load of theory if you don’t also find out and internalise what it sounds like when actual jazz musicians play it.

Just seen this thread - no bass content to contribute (except to say yours looks very nice!) but it reminds me that I used the Ellesmere Port Fab Lab a couple of times around the same time as you, in my case on a paid basis for some work stuff - it was a really good concept and staffed by really helpful individuals, but sadly it shut down as I think their funding ran out and they weren’t getting the user numbers to justify continuing it. The Manchester one is still going…

I’m no expert but that seems quite weird. Does it work with any other video calling platforms than Skype and if so is the tutor wedded to Skype or could you use a different one? Is there some funky ‘reduce background noise’ setting that’s blocking the guitar because it isn’t a voice?

Bad news: Now further ‘behind’ than ever Good news: Actually starting to get the hang of the economy plucking thing! Bad news: Have realised that for one of the early left hand exercises where it’s all about making sure you don’t do… that thing, and I thought ‘well that’s OK, because I definitely don’t do that thing’, I do, in fact, do that thing Good, er, actually further bad news: while I think I’ve isolated where doing that thing happens, when I actually watch my left hand doing it it looks so weird I can’t yet concentrate on how to do anything about it. I’m definitely enjoying it though!

Copper is an element and in its solid metallic state it doesn’t form molecules. Reading that website it sounds like they think it does something to the grain boundaries, which solid metallic copper at least does have. On whether it does something that’ll improve the sound of a cable… let’s say you can find me in the sceptic camp.

They went out of business but are back in business under new ownership. Did you get an email confirming they had received your order? If you literally can’t get any response out of Dawson‘s then I expect you will be able to raise a claim with PayPal. I think you’ll probably have to wait until a couple of weeks after the date of your order, but you can go and look it up on PayPal’s site.

This is true if the value of the purchase was £100 or more. The technical term is ‘a Section 75 claim’. It’s only been seven working days though. Was the item shown as in stock and what did they say the delivery time would be? I assume you haven’t had an email saying it’s been despatched? Dawsons did go bust earlier in the year and the business was bought out and reopened (but without most of the high street shops) as I remember it. I’m sure it’s discussed on the forum if you search.
