The point of knowing where 'flat' is found is that you can plug in your preamp pedals and minimal tweakage will have you all set.

You won't know until you bow. A pro will make a decent enoug sound with anything, much as a pro cyclist could take the field on an off the rack bike. A good bow will do things that a cheap one will not, if you have the technique, which you can't learn on a piece o' junk.

The VPF cut indicates you have a ~120hz resonance.

I heard £Sterling has tanked against the US$. Makes all imported goods prices rise along with. The used market is more affected by general inflation but also tracks with the fresh new price. Inflation is a curse.

Pointy Bass Headstock = Sticky Out Basslines. Everyone knows this!

An acoustic guitar is the usual suspect when there is 'bass' booming going on yet the bass is muted.

That's some fantastic cack handed slamin' bassing / rhythm strumming with assistance from cack handed chord man plus cajon man and lead guitar, if I'm not mistaken.

@Paddy515 it might pay to ask on the Ashdown club thread instead.

All a bit unnecessary. I was delighted to learn 'flat' on GK is 10 2 1 10 o'clock positions. So much easier to get where I want to be when starting from 'flat'. Likewise 2 10 2 on anything 'Fender EQ stacked'. All the gigs I have had to do with Markbass backline sure went a lot smoother for knowing 'flat' is with the filter knobs at zero and the rest noon. So if one of you gents would actually deign to cough up Ashdown 'flat' it might come in handy sometime.

That's the hard part to ensure, hence my overkill rule for my amps.

Always plug in the cab 1/4" first. Always disconnect the power before unplugging the cab. Nil danger unless there's a chance the lead can be yanked out midstream.

It's common these days for class D amps to consist of a pair of amplifying units hooked up in bridge fashion to a single output. This leaves one of the output legs at case ground so grounding the other puts the amp into instant loop of death mode.

It's more like ''can you cook''. Sure I can cook. Your'e never going to pay me to cook in your restaurant but I can follow a recipe. So in my book you can read music, you just need more time at it to be able to sight read to time.

You only just lost out on disproving the old adage ''you can't please all of the people all of the time''. If you had played Apache for the finale it would have brought the house down.

This thread has strayed all over the spectrum. My happy place is pub venues where the PA is vocal only with a splash of high passed kick to add defintion and everyone stays under the vocals. When I was in a rowdy jazz combo and backlined the PA it was so easy. Subwoofer and a PA cab separated by crossover. Boom. I had to highpass myself a bit higher to avoid mud from the kick. All good. What was the OP about again?

Depends on your definition of realistic and perception of what is considerable. Hence snob value is extemely hard to seperate from playing performance.

It would be one helluva coincidence if it wasn't one and the same.

Anyone know anything that will do clean 2.8V being fed from a regular pedal?

To save us from this?:

The only ones that won't be on/off with a stomp switch will have fancy electronics and a momentary switch. I don't think you would get very far into swapping in latching switches before realising that won't work with the fancy electronics.

Afaik there is a 2% duty on bass guitars. You would be up for that and VAT at the border. I don't know if they charge the VAT on their own duty after applying it, or VAT on just the import value.

For that amount of bass I'd be collecting it.

It's impossible to pack against every possible idiot mishandling it. Either the buyer accepts your proposed packaging and arranges his courier and insurance or he doesn't.

I do that by getting the device to respond to my playing dynamics. If it doesn't respond it gets sold. In your case I might make an exception for the sublime primary tone. Then it's a case of determining if a a level boost is actually going to do the trick. Not knowing your amp I am guessing an input gain boost on the amp should be analogous to a clean boost pedal?
