Use the correct screwdriver head. There is only one, anything else will want to push itself out of the head causing ruin as it goes.

Lay off the marmalade sandwiches pre gig.

Bugger. It is vital to have both IEM fully sealed against other noise. Otherwise the IEM need be louder than hell to compensate.

If you are noticing tinnitus the horse has left the stable. There are many more horses left in the stable. Bolt all the remaining doors now!

I assume this is plain preaching not busting out a James Brown ''don't be lost when the time comes'' rendition? You might be best attacking the reflective surfaces and speaker placements that are producing the feedback.

Depends how stout the amp is into an assumed 6 ohm load. My bet is with a 2x 110 series, parallel 210 12 ohm > 6 ohm stack there is plenty of juice to take advantage of the extra sensitivity and the amp would heat up less.

Overseas postage from NZ has no sales tax added. We pay sales tax on the value of the shipping when importing. Should be same same in all tax jurisdictions. Hit the buy postage button and it should surely show you what you will pay before you enter your card deets.

Those settings should be frighteningly loud not practice amp loud. Gain at 90% is suspicious. Either your bass is knackered (preamp battery not fine ?) Or the amp is knackered ( tube? ) Or cab is perhaps running on one remaining driver ( battery test it )

That wouldn't make a lot of sense. Nearly all the power would be going through the 110 pair and hardly any through the 210. If you really wanted to run all the cabs together a series cable run for the 110 cabs would be the thing, all drivers working equally. Oddball series wired 12 ohm 210 rating notwithstanding.

I wouldn't go that far. Maybe if I practiced more I would have properly leathered tippy tips.

Don't mention Auckland! It's always raining but there's a perpetual water shortage. Some people like to complain.

When I was in London the first summer it rained every day in June.

Should have left it under the bed for two weeks. Those tweaks would have been 1 to fix it, then another to put it back where it was at the start.

Yay for you. Guitar players take note!!! Keep plugging away as appropriate. Some fx sound really nifty solo and wash out in the band mix. That's just how it is. If the juicy bits are in the guts of the guitar range you're going to need to be playing something really interesting when they are not. When I played in a three piece jazz outfit I found everything had to be made slightly cartoonish and aggressive in order to hold my own yet not be overblown with volume. A key part of that was setting up to get touch overdrive without adding massively to the volume. So quiet, louder, louder still, pretty darn loud clean, then overdriven coming on only fractionally louder. The fx were set to output essentially the same volume off as effected, very important! If an effect can't do that it's dead to me. A little overall gain is ok but many won't give you anything fun until it's cranked. I had a clean boost in front for when I wanted a bit of extra oomph. If you are set up like that you will find it easier to futz about with your individual pedal settings in rehearsal. A little change here and there won't cause you to drop out.

One of my finger tones is to use just the very tips closer to the bridge. Close enough to a pick for me.

Did the guitarist fall in?

Turn everything down as low as you can get it. Drummer might have to learn a new skill set.

Says who?

Does that mean if you take an A from the piano you are 2 cents off the piano on the G and 1 cent off on the E?

My preference would be for that cable but long enough to loop the cab handle before the FOH lead. Also some brightly coloured tape on it to make it harder to steal. That takes a lot of strain off the jack.

This reminds me of an old old story... Little old lady gets given a Morris 1000. After a week she takes it back to the dealers complaining of rough running and rubbish fuel economy. Leaves it with them and goes for a haircut. 2 hours later she's back and the mechanic tells her he can't find anything wrong with it. He asks her to demonstrate the problem. She hops in, pulls out the choke out of the dash, and hangs her handbag on it.

I was wondering what happened to the great lost art of reading.

I'd say they must have changed supplier of the red rubber. The only thing that will fix it is leaving it in the sun to harden up. Pretty poor really. I think I'd be taking it back for a refund.

I am fairly sure the problem lies with the sandbagging guitard cranking himself up post sound check. He needs to get his monitoring from his own amp pointed right at his head. @geohamHow did it pan out??

It doesn't change the concept.
