I have fancied one of these for a very long time. Happy Jack was selling one and I jumped. I have it set up at my weekly residency (church). As we are all aware, bass is never allowed to be loud enough anywhere. So as to keep a quiet stage we have moved to wired in ears and the drummer and I are sitting in front of the FOH feeling the LF as best we can. To make it more fun, my ears are shot so I have to wear earplugs to play. I was just listening through those. But sitting on a chair on the bass board is a total game changer. The volume does not go up, but the physical interaction is a lot more real. In the spirit of the BC self build cabs, I feel certain that people who are not DIY clueless could easily build their own ones. And also improve them by putting a plate amp in there. Just thinkin'......

Remember too Black Friday bargains are usually just stuff the retailers can't get rid of, or that they've discounted previously anyway.

What I sent to Brian was the original plate with a piece of cardboard attached: So if he kept a copy of the final template he used, then you might be in luck. I'll PM you some details and you can ask him.

No, blame @tauzero for your MDF nightmare.

Sorry, thought you posted that ^

? were they? I didn’t know they were made of MDF either?

You destroyed all my childhood memories by demonstrating they were actually made of MDF. Pah. Thanks Frank. 😞

Thinking from the perspective of smaller venues where lots of room modes and reflective surfaces can interact in a relatively small space... I've never found that settings on individual channels transfer all that well from one venue to the next even when eq-ing the room. It's a very useful starting point, but since the room effects have position-dependent components with respect to individual instruments, and a lot of musicians adapt how they play to the room, some further tweaking of the individual channels always seems to be necessary.

200 !! 60 quid is much more palatable, and i have one so i can say its excellent https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Dual-Bass-Guitar-Gig-Bag-by-Gear4music/1II6

In my defence, poor though it is, once he's finally in bed my desire to do anything but collapse isn't there. Also, the workshop is under his bedroom and banging about with chisels will cause no end of ructions. Also, sorry Tauzie 😉

Nick Grimshaw BBC 6music Monday 1st December 2025 7 - 10am He's promising some bass centric content for the morning show. I have no idea at what point it features but I understand you can rewind the digital player using something odd called a smart speaker. I say odd because there are more microphones than actual speakers in those devices. It's possible that Lauren Laverne will pick that theme up for her six of the best piece in the show that follows between 10am and 1pm.

I'm not a fan of Rush, but I watch that video of them having dinner and want to be in the band.

Does my bum bum bum look big in this?

I know nothing of this stuff. But Brave plays YT with no adverts. This is a good reason to use it, if for no other reason.

Ditto.

The Germans have a green one B Stock for £619 https://www.thomann.co.uk/cort_artisan_space_5_sdg_b_stock.htm They also have "A Stock" at £675 but you'll have to wait a week or so. Free shipping! Great deal. I got labelled as "entitled" when I expected free shipping on a £700 spend earlier in the year. If I hadn't just landed a "rescue" bass, I'd buy one just to see. I played one and thought it was a lot of bass for the money.
