  1. The biggest gig I ever did was outdoors to that kind of 5 to 8k at a local festival. Big sound system, big monitors. We provided our own backline. My 210 got fully drowned out by the humungous monitor on the other side of the drummer, until we got them to turn it down. Interestingly it sounded just like me but 'over there and way too loud' so big props to the AKG P2 microphone.
  2. Only works on stolen stuff if another TrackR user's phone app comes along and pings you.
  3. Workmate has that. Nasty stuff. He's due to retire shortly and just had a third corrective surgery since it started taking over one pinky maybe 30 years ago. He lets it get pretty far gone and it's not really that great after this last one. I guess the scarring builds up.
  4. You should be! Don't let the plain Jane paint job fool you.
  5. The usual situation runs like this. One powerful amp. One cabinet. The rig only gets so loud before the amp overdrives the cab. At that point you are all out of headroom. If that's only just enough to be heard in a loud band it's not at all dynamic unless everyone respects that limit and adjusts themselves down. More usually the bass player adds another cabinet. Now if the amp is powerful enough to drive both cabinets to their limit you have the full +6dB experience in the low end. Going from zero headroom to 6dB of headroom is quite fun, especially if the band becomes responsive to bass dynamics.
  6. A helmet with horns to complete the look.
  7. 'Gated output' then. P&C is kinda it's own animal. A little cute fuzzy, a little unpredictable weird goodness, a little angry if you prod it. It doesn't ring on when you mute the note. It's real party trick is when it is on in front of an envelope filter. Weehah!!!
  8. Yeah I know what gated means normally. But in the context of an effect pedal normally if a pedal is making noise with no input then it's broken and if it doesn't make any noise with input it's also broken! I guess a wild modulation effect could use cutting off when you mute the string so it doesn't carry on all by itself = 'gated' ??
  9. What means this? It is touch sensitive to how hard you dig in but not to the point of staying unaffected if that's what you mean.
  10. This is flat out wrong. Never connect two amplifiers to one cabinet. I dunno what's up with that graphic. I have a Mesa tube amp with 8 ohm and 4 ohm outputs labelled like that. The 4 ohm ones are parallel to connect 4 ohm worth of two 8 ohm cabs. Dollars to donuts OP amp is a bog standard solid state MAG with parallel outputs. Connect two 8 ohm cabs however you fancy. 4 ohms job done. Egads what a mess.
  11. It's perfectly fine to use two cables from your amp to two 8 ohm cabinets! Cabs put a load on the amplifier via cables. You are very confused in your questions.
  12. For transparent aside from squished you can't beat the old Trace SMX pedal. One knob for the lows and one for the highs. If you get a wild hair on you can see-saw the EQ with the balance control, or leave it in the middle and it's transparent.
  13. It's so musical I used mine on funky jazz.
  14. If it popped off I expect it can be popped back on. I would bodge it up with a spot of blutac to encourage it to stay put but no guarantee it wouldn't get off again.
  15. Heavily skewed to the portable and economical end of the options is the good old cardboard + duct tape drop cover. Good for keeping out the rain and scuff protection while not adding a lot weight, so less likely for it to take an unaided trip down the stairs.
  16. You're going to be fine.
  17. Much to the consternation of musically educated folks.
  18. Melodies and lyrics contain copyright. Chord progressions do not.
  19. Make sure you are in tune. I find myself recalling the hook chorus in order to remember the rest of it. I find using crib sheets makes me reliant on them. Better to remember if you can.
  20. I don't know if that would get you the amp alone here.
  21. The Tweeter and the Monkey Man number works great but they really should have put Dillon on a low part on Handle Me With Care. Over here the radio played HMWC on a fairly high rotation for a little while and that was pretty much it until Classic Hits brought it on.
  22. If the tuner was upstream of the amp and tuner is testing ok then the problem is in the bass.
  23. Just noticed this. Definitely your bass output jack is wonky. Or you had a bunch of dud leads.
  24. I should read more carefully...
