  1. No problem. Half of the weight goes direct to the floor. The rest is distributed very evenly along a couple of ft of stable corrugated construction.
  2. I think it's tech time now. Unless the DI comes out before some part of the tube preamp that's faulty you wouldn't be getting a good DI signal. Suggests the tubes aren't the problem but you could probably find the schematic to get a clue. If someone in your area could lend you a BDDI, the 'line level' is enough to get the lion's share of output via fx return ime.
  3. Frequently both. On backline supplied gigs I send my preamp to FOH.
  4. £0 from a skip near you.
  5. Yes. Ideally something with a hot output like a BDDI. It won't be loud without a full on line level but if you get a staticcy mushy quiet mess it's a good sign the output stage is shagged.
  6. What was playing on the jukebox?
  7. Make the folds then slice across at the slope. The developed w supports the cab at the front while the cab rear sits on the floor.
  8. If you plug the fx unit into the Orange fx return it be driving into the power stage direct. If you don't get some decent volume you will know it's the power stage not doing the thing.
  9. Do those same builders wax lyrical on the tone of paint finishes?

  12. An acoustic guitar with a mag pickup in the sound hole sounds pretty much like a Stat also.
  13. Putting a note in the monthly newsletter calling for players doesn't make one a band leader.
  14. 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.
  15. Lay off the marmalade sandwiches pre gig.
  16. Bugger. It is vital to have both IEM fully sealed against other noise. Otherwise the IEM need be louder than hell to compensate.
  17. 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!
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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 )
  22. 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.
  23. I wouldn't go that far. Maybe if I practiced more I would have properly leathered tippy tips.
  24. Don't mention Auckland! It's always raining but there's a perpetual water shortage. Some people like to complain.
  25. When I was in London the first summer it rained every day in June.
