It doesn't matter if they're in other bands, however it does matter if they use this as an excuse not to be prepared when it's time to be in your band. People who think it's ok to waste other's time need to be cut loose, in my experience, even if this means short term pain.

I don't know the amp you're using but I'm running my One10 with an 800 watt Thunderfunk. Even at a whisper it sounds great. I've also gigged my 2 One10's with an Aguilar TH500. I loved that tone.

These all look like great solutions for combos, but when it comes to angling a cab + head would the head need to sit on a wedge or something like a bench hook to stop it sliding off the back of the cab? I suppose the head could be put elsewhere, but where's the fun in that?

Nice one! First of all, really take the time to set it up. True the table, get everything nice and perpendicular, watch videos about how to get the blade tension right (extremely tight is not better - it can lead to wandering when trying to cut a straight line), remember to de-tension the blade after every session (and remember to tension before turning it on the next time!) Dust collection is a necessity. As with any power tool; let the tool do the work. Don't push wood through with any force - let the gullets clear to avoid burning the woods and overheating the blade. Watch this video. The bandsaw was invented for butchers to cut through bone. Bear that in mind. A lot of people who've been maimed by a bandsaw got bit when they were pushing the piece through and, just at the end, an unexpected soft spot in the wood meant that the last centimetre or so happened way quicker than they were expecting, and the thumb followed through... Always use a push stick or sacrificial block for that last bit of the cut when the blade is about to pop out. Never cross-cut through a pipe/cylinder (eg. a log) freehand - make a jig. See YouTube. If cutting curves (like a body blank) make sure you have a blade of the right width for the job. Narrow blades are good for tight bends but less reliable for long, straight cuts - and vice versa. Snapping a bandsaw blade is a real change of underwear moment. The one time I did it, I realised in hindsight that I'd been so focused on the curve I was cutting, I lost track of where "straight" was. That is, the imaginary straight line from the front of the bandsaw, through the blade, and out the back. I had been moving the wood (MDF actually) around the table in a way that was twisting the blade. The great thing about the bandsaw, unlike the table saw, is that it's not trying to suck your fingers in or throw wood at you. If you're making a cut and you don't like how it's going, just stop pushing, leave one hand on the workpiece and turn off the saw with the other. It's a great tool, and it looks like you've got a good one. Enjoy!

Welcome BC.

I can only dream of having a schedule like that. Daryl

I saw the Police when they last did the IoW festival , there was a very apparent “tension “ between Sting and Andy , but it was a great show .

Ooh, should be able to get the Peterson cab to 41 litres with woodwork. Should help, I guess. Will make sure by checking it out on WinISD before getting the tools out!

Hi there, I live in Sweden, I play bass and other instruments. I’ve tried to sell some basses on the marketplace without any luck. Today is midsommar here…Thanks for having me!

It was a 12CVM2 that I bought from you, so should be able to source a 2nd one as they appear to be current. 👍

I bet he isn’t… 😉

Target reached. Wishing you all the BassChat best, Lee

I’m a big Sting fan , but I kinda missing Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland on this occasion.

Pop up tent……good idea

I emailed Sonicake about the Android app not working. I had a reply today saying they're waiting for Google to approve it in the Play Store.

What kind of classic Rock songs you doing @Lozz196 ? Dave

That's a lofty ambition Phil!

I had that with my plucking fingers at last gig on just one song that i've been playing for past 6yrs (Ballroom Blitz mid section where bass ties in with drums) I ended up having to ad-lib it as best i could. Its not even a fast or hard part. I just couldn't get it right in my head. Old age doesn't come itself @Lozz196. That's my excuse anyways. 😂 Dave
