All but a few 'specials' Japanese Fenders seem to have relatively tiny tuners, and I can't recall seeing anyone advertising replacements. Might be worth investigating reaming them out and fitting US standard/vintage, as I believe the spacing between centres is the same (but will check for sure tonight - I've got two Japanese precision necks with the smaller tuners).

I'm entirely happy with my two GK Neo112s. However, if I were buying the same kit now (or needed to replace) I'd definitely try Barefaced first...

It was probably Johnny Be Good (and around 13,000 similar tunes... )

I think maximum output is likely to be 250 watts per channel...

"Ideal for domestic use" is probably fair comment... I'd start looking no lower than Yamaha/Peavey/Mackie myself

Subconsciously you already know the solution.... 'Fist time' for the neighbours

If you've got your rig close to a back wall/corner, then finding any 'missing frequencies' onstage (without getting into silly EQ) is usually a matter of moving your carcass around a bit to find them... Is your tweeter working? Finally - I'd hire a 410 before buying one...

I use a GK 1001 with 2 GK Neo112s - never had any problems. I'm playing blues/rock - I might have problems with dub reggae... Is the issue with the sound you hear on stage, the sound the audience hear out front, or both? Where do you typically place your cab (relative to walls/corners particularly)?

[quote]That's super... I reckon it needs a white guard. A beauty tho but[/quote] Glad you like it :blush: The body, pickguard and neck are all Warmoth, hardware is Hipshot, and the pickup is DiMarzio. It's quite 'substantial' feeling (particularly the neck). Absolutely amazing frets though - it has lower action *and* less relief than I can get on any of my others. Initially had a tort pickguard, but it was a bit too 'glam' so I went for the matt black. Parchment / off-white might be a good look too - I might have to order one...

My latest build/acquisition is Sonic Blue - here's a pic : [attachment=57109:P8200012.JPG]

Just received a Radial DI from Steve - condition exactly as described, speedy delivery and well-packed A pleasure (again)

Another DiMarzio fan here - though I can't bring myself to replace a Kent Armstrong 'Vintage Hot' (quite different - very bottom-heavy indeed) Fender aren't too bad either

Possibly the power consumption printed on a label somewhere... ?

If it was just line level then there are plenty of options (many only 1U), but as soon as you want more than one mic level input you probably need to go bigger / more complex and expensive. Alesis Multimix 12R is probably a fair bet, but it does come in at 3U...

[quote]Does using Di out defeat the speakers ?[/quote] No Using the effects send (without supplying a return) might achieve that effect - check your manual...

Not a good idea For a start you'll only have sound from one side (unless you have mono phones) Secondly the potential to destroy the phones and/or your hearing is great Best bet would be to get a headphone amp and drive it from the DI output or effects send Alternatively you *could* try a bunch of resistors in this kind of arrangement (connect the non-ground 'phones'end to tip and ring on a stereo jack socket, mono jack plug for the speaker end) [attachment=55387:phones_drop.PNG]

A pair of RCF 310A will be around £800 - great sound, light, small and astonishingly loud. (Assuming you don't actually need subs...)

Generally drivers closest together, vertically arranged. Gives least interference (leading to comb filtering), and best dispersion from side to side.

None of the gear in the 1st link is anything but 'entry-level'... I wouldn't bid the start price for it. And why would you want a 24 channel mixer for a duo!? The second option would be OK, though those speakers aren't going to be light (and do you really need subs?) Unfamiliar with Samson amps, but that's likely to be a handful too. The mixer's probably adequate (I've got an old 802 Behringer and it's still A-OK). I'd really recommend Mackie / dB Technology / RCF powered cabs and any small mixer but that's going to blow your budget by some way...

Might be worth importing one - I've had quite a few bits & pieces from here: [url="http://www.basspartsresource.com/bridge_genuinefender.htm"]Basspartsresource[/url]

Top horn suggests Yamaha... ?

Being loud outdoors (no reflective surfaces) particularly on bass requires *lots* more power than playing indoors. Your two rigs will be fighting each other at certain frequencies, reinforcing each other at others which isn't going to help. If your PA isn't up to handling kick drum and bass at high levels then I'd advise Either: Getting a much larger (and better-balanced) single rig Or: (Probably better in terms of not deafening yourself and your bandmates) Use either (but not both) existing rig and Add a subwoofer system to the PA (and a decent monitor if your rig isn't adequate). Getting everyone else to turn down is an ideal option (but loud bands tend to play loud ...)
