When I saw the title, I thought you'd be having a switching system in there - but you haven't. Ditch the rack!

My question about the bass is that I have a good idea who the bass player is and the use of a certain bass and colour would confirm that information.

You may or may not find this interesting reading. http://www.thehamsters.co.uk/interviews/bassist.php

What bass was he playing?

Audere https://www.audereaudio.com/index.htm and John East's J Retro http://www.east-uk.com/index.php/bass/j-retro/j-retro-01.html spring to mind. You can mount pretty much any preamp to a jazz bass (most come with stack pot variations) but some will require additional routing as putting a battery in the cavity takes up the lion's share of the space. Also worth noting the a stack pot takes up more room under the plate than a single pot. The two above are designed to fit in the cavity with no routing.

Its not open till the 5 April. People who have seen this is going to be very limited.

Wiki - clearly written by himself. Didn't Janek write a load of his wiki himself... only for it to be cleansed within an inch of it's life...?

I may or may not have had a hand in sunburstjazz1967's setup. Those RCF 735/745s really are great, you never struggle for vocal volume and the woofers are beefy enough to take a fair amount of punishment, including some pushed kick drum. All in a package which really are quite portable and in most situations, are great even without subs. These things really kick out far more bass than most tops in plastic cases that I have ever used. They will easily keep up with your standard 12 tops/15 sub set up. Easily. Those mini array systems? In comparison, rubbish. I did the sound for a band I depped for a couple of weeks back - with Mackie 450 tops and a couple of RCF 705s. Nothing particularly exciting about the front of house but I did take my smaller digital mixer with me. Being able to gate and compress the kick drum for starters makes a massive difference... suddenly turns a floppy flap into a proper kick thump that gives the band some energy. Again, compressed vocals and powerful EQ makes the vocals sound light and airy as opposed to boxy and flat, with compressed mixes going to my inear rack that I let the band use... it was a big revelation to them as to how their PA could sound. In fact, even with a PA like that - which isn't super money by comparison, you can put the whole band through and have a much, much better sound out front. Everything just sits right and there's no fighting in the mix... And as mentioned before, the 31 band EQ is a Godsend. The ultimate tool to have built into a digital mixer to help fend off feedback in even the most difficult venues. I don't think, given the price that the Behringer units are going for, there is a reason for anybody not to be using a digital mixer. Hopefully it's landed me a few more deps too

Gosh, the Tickled Trout really is upping it's game.

[quote name='visog' timestamp='1458896343' post='3011869'] No coil tap switch? [/quote] No - different circuit altogether. New circuit.

Noddy Holder did worse to get a break...

As a descendent from a family insurance brokers business, Id say don't do it. The bottom has dropped out the market with the big boys concentrating on putting all the small fish out of business. As a niche market, musicians can't pay to put petrol in their cars to get to gigs, so why are they going to bother with insurance?

But what about the boxing that followed...?

Hiscox. Strong as to keep your bass safe...but not unwieldy and not too heavy to carry around when not being transported.

I would wager you could buy a new one from Thomanns cheaper than sourcing the covering and paying for the labour to fit it... I would wager it would have more value as a tatty original 60s case over a restored non-accurate example anyway.

Try searching for tolex. I'd imagine thats the sort of thing that it's going to be covered in.

[quote name='Pestie' timestamp='1458836747' post='3011413'] Sorry, I did the last two replies and it kept getting it wrong. Mackie 1608. I think they are great ! [/quote] They are! Although I have to say, the fx (or "outboard") section of the Behringers are currently blowing it away in that department. These small format digital mixers though, incredible value for money. You'd be mad to use anything else... Worth it for the 31 band eqs alone!

[quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1458670978' post='3009726'] The Audio Nasties=new band name! [/quote] I'll put it on my "worth considering" list...

[quote name='mike257' timestamp='1458819126' post='3011156'] How's the cascading going? I had serious desk overkill at the weekend. Little acoustic show in the small front bar of a multi room venue I tech at. The middle sized room had a gig on, tying up our M32, so I had to hoof the Avid Profile and it's mix rack through from our 1000ish cap main room to mix an acoustic gig for 40 people. Used six whole inputs. Sounded bloody good though! [/quote] Desk overkill is grand. I've used a GLD80 for an an acoustic singer/songwriter. 2 whole inputs. Im wanting to know if there are people slaving cheapo 4 channel mixers to create a 32 channel desk... Probably not... but would probably go viral if you instagrammed/tweeted/facebook etc it.
