I am in lockdown so plenty of free time to edit stuff if you like.
-
Would it not be more productive to do it in here and edit the OP into a comprehensive guide?

From another of the links: ''Did you export this under Outward Processing Relief? OPR is usually used for the export of items for repair which will be returned after repair. If OPR has been used then there will not be a problem with re-importing the goods free of import duty and tax. If a fee has been charged for the repair then duty and tax will be payable on this value.'' Pretty much sums up what to do at your end to get it away. Get the OPR. Then your reimportation should be a matter of them quoting the OPR on the other end docket along with detailed notes of your payments for repair and shipping. Check with the repair people.

I take issue with a 100w combo not being gig worthy. Only after I was stunned by one doing the job last year. Definitely loud enough to be too loud in a pub Bugera '1000w' is old news.

Some VERY good news at last - live music back by the Spring?

Keywords: ''as possible''. There is only so much vaccine coming our way each month. Bookings for first jabs were out to late Sep by this afternoon. At the rate the Delta spreads we would have everyone infected by then if we just carried on like normal. Plan is the snap lockdown takes us back down to zero in a week or so with more livable restrictions ongoing until we are sure it's gone again. -

One case yesterday. 9 more today.....likely 100 tomorrow based on party people partying unaware....1000 in another 2 to 3 days. Then we find out if we caught it in time by locking down with the 1. That's the logic. -
Sure. It might even help you if you miss something!

Before you get too carried away with making connections you need to find the impedance of your cabs!!!! If they are 4 ohm you can't have any more than one. The only cabs I have seen without a link jack are 4 ohm. The single jack suits well for not blowing up amps in a fit of enthusiasm.

Stacking two BF 210's the traditional 410 way turns them into a BF410. Stacking them in the tall tower per Bill with the two full range drivers in the middle also valid.

You probably had the ''loudness'' button toggled on. I was playing violin at the time so the twiddly keyboard part caught my ear. Listening to it again, for the first time in I don't know how many years, the other day I was struck by the classical harmony nature of the whole. To me a driving bassline is one where the bass asserts the 1 dead on and doesn't often stray far from the other beats while whatever goes, goes for the rest of the band. None of that going on with that tune.

I keep my ear plugs with me on my key ring. Never again! Flare Audio do a gnatty SS tube fob for theirs.

If you have a slot ported cab and a spare heavy cardboard box....Bob's your hairy assed Auntie.
-
If you put them side by side you undo a lot of the good work.
-
One more thing, ''let the audience see the cab''. One time I am rocking out and all of a sudden my sound goes to total hell. I turn around expecting to see someone effing with my EQ but it's the sax player getting a back massage.
-
I never said Cure doesn't have driving basslines. I said that other tune was not one.
-
We disagree. To me the 'driving' is coming from the ebb and flow of the thematic keyboard part. Everything else is along for the ride.
-
I really dislike that expression, ''serving the song''. It should always be the bloody bass that works. If it's too flashy and distracting fire the showoff prick and get someone else. In this case all the simple parts are most of 'the song' and the bass is but one of them. The singer sings his little ditty over it. Magic. Bass driven it ain't.

Nearly anything in the old 410 610 810 style beams horribly. Barefaced are a notable exception as they low pass one side of their cabs so directional frequencies only come from the other side in a vertical column. That gets you away from the comb filtering. There are 3 way cabs that split the frequencies and much improve dispersion over full range drivers. The distance to each 'side' of a driver varies with the angle it presents to us enough to get a cancellation. The larger the diameter the lower the frequency / less angle required for the effect to occur. A 215 stack isn't too flash for dispersion. The old aluminum dust caps help to even the score zinging away independently so everyone gets the zing. Upper mids not so much.

Some things to consider. To go zero you need a very well supervised border. The UK and Ireland could yet go that way. If the UK petrie dish experiment goes pear shaped you could get a new even gnarlier variant than Delta with a sufficiently modded spike that evades all the vaccines. That would effectively be a groundhog day for Covid but on a different continent. New South Wales is in the kaka no doubt. They won't be out of some kind of lockdown any time soon for sure. Too much non compliance, and leaving it all very late at each stage of concern. The rest of Aus stands a chance of getting back to zero and only gets one chance to try. I'll take prospect of lockdowns now over the misery the rest of the world has already suffered! Here has been pretty much all go since July last year. NZ only has to keep it out for a few more months to get everyone vaccinated.
