Sadly the video files we have of this bass are too large to upload but here’s a link to our Facebook page where you can see it https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1CTLc7Rn87/?mibextid=wwXIfr Here’s more pics of the finished bass

Well, I tried securing another potential "not for sale" bass, the Ian Hill signature model, today. Unfortunately, I was outbid on ebay 😞

Right on, man.

Thank you

No it means literally that. Some projects avoid exact interpretations and entertain artistic freedom. Reworking isn't the same as "can't be bothered"

Paper cones are often doped to increase stiffness and durability. You could try that ("Google "speaker cone dope"), but the stuff isn't cheap. In my experience, once a cone has aged, dried out (or got damp - the OP mentioned the combo had been in his garage for years) and become brittle, fixes will only work temporarily and the bullet - a recone or new driver - has to be bitten eventually.

Hi everyone, thanks for sharing these useful tips! I’m currently trying to fix a similar Peavey bass speaker, and I totally agree that pushing gently from behind is a safer way to avoid damaging the fragile paper cone. Has anyone had success using flexible speaker glue or any other repair method? Would really appreciate hearing your experiences or advice before.

As long as "making it your own" isn't code for "can't be bothered to get it right, so I'll wing it".

Got it dialled in now. It's a cracking pedal for that sort of dosh.

This is the content we want.

Was this just your in-ears? Are you using ZS10 Pros? I find these do have some pretty striking resonances and unless your in ear fit is near perfect they can sound this way. I've ended up first of all with the tripkle flange ear tips that go deep into my ear canals and ultimately with moulded ear tips and they've improved matters. There is quite a pronounced mid range suckout too, they are far from flat, see below. I'd start by trying to get a great fit but then filtering out the sub 50Hz content and boosting 100-1.5kHz to flatten out the response, or at least being aware of the response when you eq. The other thing is that the audience experience of your bass looks to be pretty good and I find the live sound of my bass compared to my practice sound is really mid dominated and thin and clacky might be a good description. If you've got your bass well forward in your personal mix then you aren't hearing what the audience hear. Even if you aren't using ZS10's the mid suckout isn't rare in headphones I'd still be looking to check for a good fit and looking to boost low mids a little for bass.

Sold a pedal to Rick. Super easy and friendly to deal with. Pleasure, thanks Rick. Enjoy!
