There was another cab designed to be part of the Subway lineup that did the low thing, but did not get approved for production, and recently someone here on TB blew their brand new SW115 playing a church gig running eq’d heavy on the lows, and it was not covered by the warranty which was due to...

And the wisdom to enjoy it : )

Good luck out there off the Mesa, I guess that I have been very lucky with all twenty Subway cabs and seven Subway Heads to have not had any failures, anyway, happy trails : )

Where does whatever is wiped off go to, is there a way out that self dumps the debris like in the old 1/4” jacks, or do we end users need to extract the debris? If we end users do need to extract the debris what is the best method, technique and practice for us to go by as a scheduled or...

How much scrubbing action is there for the contacts in these connectors when we plug them in?

I cannot afford for that to make a difference, still need to check other never used cables, as well as the ones currently installed on the rig. The phrase “what a hassle” just came to mind for the first time since moving to Tennessee, and I say that with overall joy : ) Now if I can just...

Pushing the “new normal,” hmmmm. In pondering this a little I tend to see the lightest of the listed cabs as a new class of “Featherweight Cabs.” I doubt that direct comparison would result in the reversing of the evolution of bass cab weight reduction status as regards the Mesa Subway series...

Hopefully bass playing fixes your tendinitis as it did mine : )

And if the cable does not work on one cab just stop right there and return the cable. Having twenty Subway cabs and at least that many cables has me planning how to proceed going by “a one and done” method.

My understanding is that the now being engineered Mesa parts are to compensate for a similar “problem” that some Snap On tools also compensate for, their gold plated sets that are used in the aviation turbine clean rooms are produced at such a close size tolerance that a (for instance) 9mm...

Does it seem reasonable for me to try each one of my cables (all have Neutrik) with each one of my Mesa Subway cabs and to return every cable that fails on a even one cab?

It is a “Live Wire Elite” from GC, ran out from a Subway 112 to a Subway 115. Guess I need to test all these new cables, I still have some that have not been tried since purchased new.

I am dealing with that too, with a never used cable w/brown Neutrik plugs ; ) Given the importance of these cables to be dependable, and the fact that there are issues, I hope that they do the next design with redundant contacts, for them to be dependable at running a little dirty by way of...

I guess that did not get the memo, drummers do whatever they want, the op is a drummer : )
