Hat still firmly in place: For a given speaker, power does equate to loudness. A speaker's efficiency is measured in dB per watt. That dB/W rating varies from speaker to speaker of course, so 10W through an efficient speaker can be as loud as 100 through a subwoofer with a heavy cone. To be clear, I'm talking about the watts the amp delivers into the speaker, not the amount of power it draws from the mains. A mosfet based class AB Trace, for example, is a lot less efficient than a modern class D so the power rating on the IEC inlet isn't an indication of its ability to be loud.

Gday After many years of playing exclusively fingerstyle, I now want to make the sounds that Steve Hanley, Tracey Pew and Kim Deal do (did) so well. I have the Precision, the Ampeg and the round wounds. All i need now is someone to teach me how to use a pick... Help!

Are you the farmer? Ive come on this thread by mistake

Pedant hat on: Watts *does* translate to loudness. It's just that Trace's power rating is a tad more conservative than that of Brand X, which usually has as much do do with the marketing department than the engineers. Pedant hat off: he's right though, treat power ratings with scepticism and bear in mind that 200W is only 3dB louder than 100.

Blue Aran have 1kg pots of tuffcab for a good price. Not in stock yet but im not in a hurry. Thanks all.

Hi Phil, if it wasnt you that recommended the imaginary* paint I was thinking off, I dont know who it was. It's for my build of your Fane 8" beast. *must be a pigment of my imagination...

Thanks, all. I'm sure the one i was recommended was available in smaller quantities... and it had options of glossy or matt, matt being more camouflaged for theatre applications. A kg of tuffcab would last me several lifetimes!

Good day. Someone here recommended paint for cabinets that you apply with a roller, and it comes out like Tolex. Sort of Hammerite for wood. I made a note of the brand but unfortunately I wrote it on a pie which I later had to eat. Can anyone remind me? Thank you.

Really?

What Bill (and to be fair, mostly everyone else) said. My theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veblen_good "A Veblen good is a type of luxury good for which the demand increases as the price increases, in apparent contradiction of the law of demand, resulting in an upward-sloping demand curve. The higher prices of Veblen goods may make them desirable as a status symbol in the practices of conspicuous consumption and conspicuous leisure. A product may be a Veblen good because it is a positional good, something few others can own." Plenty of this to be seen in hi-fi. And, lately, bicycles.

Lick my 😍 ⛽!

Even more impressive is the *fact* that he never drops the kids off at the pool, lays a cable or even curls one out.

I hear "my baybee as gorn dahn ve plagole, my baybee as gorn dahn ve plag, ve poo i"ll fing was so skinny an fin, ee shouda been barfed in a jag" but I'm told those aren't the actual words

"surprisingly light", you be hench, boy, I could barely lift mine!

That's definiitely a faulty amp. The source of the noise might well be on your mains, but in order to earn its CE mark the design must have passed a test in which noise is introduced into its supply and isn't affected by it. Similarly the amp must not emit anything that might upset your TV or pacemaker. I wonder if it's just an intermittent fault that makes it behave in the shop. It'd have to be a pretty big noise source to affect it that badly and nothing else in your house seems bothered by it.

Flaunters of grim expertise could be a Mark E Smith insult

Always loved this, just shows you can be funky as Ghandi's sandal without a bass line or snare drum. Imagine how funky it'd be with... *More cowbell! *

Scots Bass Lessens. As above, but not so much.

That's the amp...

"frequency response 65Hz to 20kHz"

Was it not jack Bruce who said "the drummer's job is to make the bass sound good"?

Can I be the first to ask if it goes up to 11?
