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.

That's totally inaccurate. Someone was posting about overly precise measuring earlier. They might be able to put some better maths on it.... If two people listen to the same note and one is hearing it 6 cents sharper than it actually sounds and the other hears it 6 c flat you better hope your tuner is 'dead on' or someone is going to 'hear' it out of tune.

The HB came over a little wooly in the lows but dang that's high value. The Sire was down overall which is really unfair to it. Louder really is 'better' most of the time. Trying just to hear it for itself it was very pleasing in the mids so might have done very well with a simple gain compensation. In the 4 way demo the Fender cut through consistently, dammit I really wanted to not like that overpriced toy. The Squire did a reasonable pass at the same trick but without the chimes.

They weigh more than the extra ply taken to build a bigger ported box? Mesa did one in a combo called the Walkabout Scout.

The dust will be from the foam core.

If I was going to do a carbon fibre cab it would have a plywood baffle and the feet would be hockey pucks glued on. Carbon foam core panels are fantastically strong for their weight, when it comes to stiffness. Too bad there is next to no ability to hold a screw without intervention.

No real sense in there. ClassD amps routinely have a rumble filter. Some have an adjustable HPF. Older style amps usually have a rumble filter. If you left off filtering on a class D amp it would destroy speakers just as easily as an old one, or moreso with the gobs of power they tend to sport.

The 4 ohm one can be useful for some users of 50, 100, 200w solid state amps to save hauling another cab. Not what I would ever do though, lousy FOH dispersion from 410 cabs!!

The bass often plays the root, but when it doesn't that pedal note would play hell.

A typical 410 will be a lot louder whether it is 4 ohm or 8 ohm. You still won't hear it down on the floor on a small stage. Try elevating the 15 before doing anything.

Two quarter turns a day is plenty if you want it to settle without over correction required.

You need to determine your liability. It isn't hard but takes persistence in wading through web pages to find the bit that describes your residency and entitlement to bring household effects back.

If the strings still sound ok then you may as well give it a proper set up. Otherwise I'd be putting some new strings on and playing the heck out of it with a simple intonation setup. Then go to town on the truss rod if required.

Bass in case or gigbag? It makes a huge difference! You mentioned a need for a hybrid/ e car. Is that a hard requirement or not? You implied a requirement for something as small as possible, to contain bass and cab out of sight. I thought that was pretty clear. I don't know why every gig wagon on existence is getting a mention. A Rav4 is pretty big for a small car! What's the budget?

There was a guy asking about getting his stuff back from Greece. Another guy had an amp needing repair in EU and sent back. Both cases involved deep diving the customs website....

You aren't asking the right questions.

Users report the fan is on idle speed when not playing and spins faster when playing, louder > faster still. Too loud for some fusspots. Some say theirs spins fast all the time, suspect broken!

That's a very unusual situation to be in. Your best bet would be to consult your H.M.Customs web maze for the rules on you dual residency types. I expect it will be simplified to a require time duration on the most recent occasion abroad and expiry since getting back to Blighty.

It's not that the output is low, it's that it's output impedance is requiring a very high input impedance. Something in excess of 1Mohn.

If it isn't pretty damn loud all by itself it's either worn out ( is that even possible???) or you have blown a driver open circuit.

One of the best cover bands I ever heard played anything and everything as a funk band. You would think that impossible yet it was done perfectly.
