  1. Not at all. They want to turn some profit on it. The end. If they weren't going to make a profit on each and every bass on the wall they wouldn't have a wall to hang them on.
  2. My big band has never been quite that big but I used a China made Ashdown 15'' combo in many rehearsals just fine. They do hit another gear at gigs but with FOH should still be fine. One show had an old Trace Commando provided, 12'' I think maybe 15, and 100w. It worked fine for me but the kid big band on before us had it all distorted to hell.
  3. See what trimming 2 cm off the dividers for twin 21cm ports does for you.
  4. I would forward that to the fraud squad.
  5. What's generally unfair is the unmet expectation of reasonable care being applied to well packed parcels. Then we have these cowboys slapping upcharges on. Some of the insurance policies seem very difficult to get a payout on after rough handling wrecks well packed stuff. But the principle of owner insuring stuff in transit is sound.
  6. Recordings tend to involve a whole lot of compression. Then YouTube compresses it some more.
  7. Pretty sure it's AB, one of the last of the breed for mainstream bass amplifiers. @agedhorseknows for sure.
  8. Google ''limited carrier's risk''. It allows the carrier to opt out of the majority of the risks associated with moving your stuff for you. Thus keeping prices down. Insurance in a nutshell, the same risk cannot be insured twice. One policy is always on the hook.
  9. Shows fundamental lack of comprehension of what insurance does. What should really get you uptight is that no doubt they are taking a commission on every insurance policy they sell. They can't insure themselves without raising the cost of all parcels. They would wind up only shipping high value fragile stuff.
  10. Have you got your debating hat on again? Of your list of live performance crimes the only one I can't forgive is overplaying so I would put that at the top. Bass moves the waist. Concentrating on that duty gets in the way of jiggling about like you have ants in your pants sometimes.
  11. If you turn down the extra tone and presence you wind up with extra low end!
  12. I think I see what the problem really is then. The bump button makes the thread header display bold like it has unread posts in it.
  13. It's much easier to read the elapsed time on the right side, which is obviously not useful. Thing is, I would rather surf classifieds like the rest of the forums, by update.
  14. This is better than what I usually see but still pretty random.
  15. All the ancient stuff that appears on the first page when it hasn't been bumped or edited IS most definitely a problem.
  16. Just looked at basses for sale. Same mixup. No sign of recent editing of March 4 thread. Next is only hours old.
  17. And you have hit 'sort by latest update' too?
  18. Forum was marked as read earlier today. Now here's a sample:
  19. Now we're in business.
  20. What's the point of that? He might as well just plug straight into a plain old DI that feeds the stage amp and the PA.
  21. A simple Samsung.
  22. That rings a bell but it must have been my old phone because there's no screen shot item in the dropdown pages.
  23. Once upon a time I did a screenshot, almost by accident, and I can't seem to find the menu for it again.
