Good morning, apart from public address or a mono top to a sub for small live sound, where could a single SLAP be used?

Acoustic show......

First time, I paired it with the T24, but from then on - just the SLA. Plenty for guitars and voices with enough bottom end.

Nice one!
I gave my XF210 to a friend a few years back to try & he says l can't have it back now! My 13 year old son found my electric guitar just lately and showed interest, I'll set up an amp so he can have a crack, thanks Bruce.

That sounds sweet!

I love seeing kids pick up an instrument instead of a mouse to make music. Encourage the heck out of that kind of behavior!

Paired with your choice of sub and....garage system!

Absolutely mate, he mucked around making noises for an hour before bed, then showed me a couple of riffs (on YouTube) he wants to learn.. excellent!

Good one man, and Bruce with the goods again, wicked!

This SLA I've recently refurbished, the other l cut in half and made a pair of HiFi frankenshorties (l can post a pic if requested) after a friend swapped them for a proper pair l had here. Originally they were on the way to the dump because when l first built these SLAs around 2012, l landed myself in trouble and rightly so, I'd recently taken up BFM as a builder and was in too much of a hurry to get things going that l advertised these with terrible car audio drivers and one poor excuse of a tweeter, l imagine that me doing that would've been disrespectful and aggravating, sorry Bill.
I couldn't throw them away when l got there though!

Does the top swivel, or do you fire it into the corner, too?

I've never used that where I fire it into a corner. There's plenty of bass for listening in the garage while I'm puttering around. I'm only about 5 feet away at my worktable.....so, I don't need a lot.

When I used it for an acoustic show, it just sits between us - plenty far away from any boundary.

And yes....the top does swivel. In fact, I have a motor on it so it moves back and forth like an oscillating fan.....makes for a great chorus effect....

Does it go fast, and then, slow?

Only when we play Green Onions or Whiter Shade of Pale.


(There, we'll let the young guys figure that out....)

Oh that would be cool. The old Leslie B3!
