I once had a cougar reach under my bass and tuck 5 bucks under my belt buckle. In those days 5 bucks would buy a beer.

There is a Countryman DI that will take a feed off the speaker. If you want to mic you need your own mic and preferably a cab mount. You will get pushback from many a stage hand who is only interested in plugging your bass into his DI and moving onto the next job. You have to short cut that by telling him to 'have a listen to this' and shoving your mic leed in his face when gets to you.

Repeat after me: I own this stage. This stage is mine. You below may now bask in glorious bass. Silently of course. As many times as necessary.

What about the Quilter?

Have you tried lowering the master and upping the input?

No experience of the 50T but plenty with other tube amps. Indeed 50w will give you a nice clean sound that disappears at rock band level. Up to a point it will keep up with a wild hair on, but there's a reason they make bigger ones. Guitards.

That's dedication beyond the pale. I once resorted to a sharp knife from the bar. Needs must. Had practice from resorting to my pocket knife when the trimmers went missing. Scissors work well enough too. File? Your tool isn't sharp enough.

How much cling film? Consider yourself well served. I got a rather expensive bass from the luthier in its nondesript case, duct taped and Fragile stickers.

There is an argument that any amount of packing can't prevent disaster so just enough packing that the nature of the precious thing stays obvious while protecting from rubbing is best. Doesn't apply to OP but I have been sent a few instruments in cases and not a lot else.

I used to run around with DB and a 215 in the back of a Dastun Sunny wagon but it would have been bad news for me or the DB in anything more than a minor fender bender. I really should be in the habit of strapping stuff in like I used to do with the 15 on the front seat. Seat belt engaged and strap through handle and around the belt.

Is this for DB and drums or that was just an entertaining anecdote? Not ideal but a 3/4 will fit in a original Mini so your choices are wide open unless you are the drum wagon also.

First things first is play some music with cymbals in it through the cab and put your ear up to the HF driver. You'll soon know if it's working or not.

Depending on the brightness of the LED and the sun it might be just enough to surround the LED with black tape. I know this is not enough for some LED eg Samsamp BDDI deluxe which is already black, so it's a bit of a longshot but lots of LED are painfully bright indoors so maybe you get lucky. Otherwise you'll have to rig some shade. If a general hood over the board doesn't give you enough darkness you'll have to shade individual LED with little tunnels to view down. Line the bottom cm with aluminium foil and the rest black for a boost in the effective viewable angle.

Maybe same stuff but Hartke must have used different adhesive. Everyone else has had a week of sanding back gobs of melted fur/adhesive muck to report.

Is Mammoth Wool something different to Rat Fur? Reason I ask is nobody made light work of de-Rat Furring that ever I saw.

I was careful to only suggest they could possibly increase production rates. I know nothing of their process or business succession plan or anything. They can never employ an apprentice and work through to retirement upping the price every year until selling the retirement year model for 50k a pop for all I care. Or they could build it up just a little and gift it to the new staff once they have all the skills.

In that case you can learn just as much by playing quietly through your guitar gear until it's time to play with others. That'll give you a couple of months to save up for something that will move some air.

Only with a really big cabinet. And then only with cooperative bandmates.

Not happening dude. Your money is better spent on a used rig with some real oomph to play metal in the traditional way with guitar amps and drums.

If you need a smaller bass to stop doing that then that's what you should do. Obviously shorter people play full size basses and the relative sizes reinforce the relative scale. Either that's a problem for you or it isn't. If your fingers can handle the regular scale you can cheat by playing a 2+2 to shrink the headstock a little. Smaller body bass same deal. But look out for neck dive. Then you could still feel short standing next to a tall guitarist. If you get a headless bass you could look like a short bassist over compensating. Better to stop feeling short I guess.

Of string theory I know nothing, except ime flats are flatter than rounds.

I bought a whole PA set. Borrowed a van to pick it all up from the shipper. Set it up at the gig with the help of a bona fide soundman and the manuals. Boom.

@uk_lefty confused by lingo or concepts?

If you think of a donut as having a surface and containing volume and a holed sock being a planar surface with a hole then they are topologically a bit different. The donut has only one side!

Happy days.
