  1. True. Not sure if it's posts or days that gets you the key to the pantry.
  2. My very first, and only bass rig for a very long time, came with a thing of wonder, a heavy 1/4" speaker cable. It is still the only one of those I own! One time the guy I played a lot of open mics with calls me in a panic. ''Can you do the PA for tonight?" Half of his gear got left in another guy's car and he was out of town. So not having had my gear out in a long time I get a mental checklist going for what to bring to get out of his mixer to my stuff and have bass and guitar and vox out from what is accessible in the garage. 'No worries''. Get there and plugging it all in and almost done but I am one 1/4" speaker cable short, AARRRRRG! ''What's the problem'' ''Missing the speaker cable'' ''Oh'', helpfully wanders to the dwindled pile of spare leads which are not speaker leads in any way shape or form. The star of the show has my speaker lead sticking out of his guitar.
  3. I don't imagine a cab would come from factory with 1 and 2 shorted together but someone might have 'improved' it? It still wouldn't require a 1 to 2 speakon but would explain why the cable works only 1 way. Suspect doofus involved.
  4. If you're seeing large excursion you need a highpass filter.
  5. These be in the expensive cabs you didn't want to talk about.
  6. Could be replaced by a stenciled THIS SIDE UP to save weight.
  7. It's the browser, Brave, excellent at gate keeping popups and ads, doesn't support the odd forum feature. So far, text size display and now font selection.
  8. That function is unsupported on my phone browser.
  9. I think the footprint of the BT is a red herring. It's barely bigger than any other 12" cab, only maybe 3'' wider than a 210 with a shelf port sat on its end. You really just want something semi disposable to use on this gig. There is a GK212 500w combo for 540 quid in the classifieds.
  10. When I clicked on your link I got an avalanche of ''special offers'' coming at me as I scrolled down looking for the catalogue. That screamed spam to me and a few others. Maybe you can change the link so it goes straight to basses?
  11. 2x10 nuts, copied in from a Word doc in Ariel
  12. Only thing I can think of is you could be getting a momentary bad ground condition by thwacking a string against a pickup, akin to the pop that can occur with engaging pedals from standby sometimes when they don't maintain the same ground potential as one another.
  13. That is strange. Maybe your idea of gain down is still a boost going into the 2nd pedal. What happens if you bypass the 2nd pedal?
  14. No fonts supported direct in this browser 2x10 bugger
  15. You'll have to explain the problem with £££'s worth of gear on this gig. Eg I have a problem with leaving my good stuff overnight at venues I know to be insecure. As far as worrying about my stuff under supervision goes, I don't allow any beverage storage on top and that takes care of it. It's very hard to knock over two 210s that are ratchet strapped together.
  16. What's the need for the Big Twin if two 210's can get the job done and solve the stage footprint issue?
  17. Sensitivity at 48hz says nothing about power handling at 48hz.
  18. Taranaki Savings Bank actually. They were the only vestige of the Trustee Savings Bank left when the rest of the branches around the country were sold to Westpac by vote of the member customers. Subsequently they branched back out around the country!
  19. A pair of BF 210 stood up tall would be pretty much as capable as your big twin cab. Trading in wouldn't cost too much if you keep the amp. Run a ratchet strap around the stack to make it resistant to a shoulder charge if you are that concerned about shenanigans.
  20. Not just for the power handling imbalance is it usually a fool's paradise of a stack. Most often the 410 has such a superior sensitivity that when it's on top the 115 is completely inaudible to the player, and barely contributing to the overall output out front either way.
  21. Are bananas still free pound for a pound down t' market?
  22. I don't see the point in buying a splitter when a 1/4" cable will more than likely do the trick.
  23. That didn't take long.
  24. Hell's Bells.
