We Gotta Get Snout Of Here - The Animals

I would have made some empty replica boxes out of thin ply, and got some badges made on Etsy.

Option 1 it is then.

Add another Eminence, then it needs proper porting and damping. With the exact interior dimensions I can provide the porting information. There may be another issue as well. For a number of years their inputs were marked red negative, black positive, which is the opposite of how the Eminence are marked. If that's the case it would explain the farting.

A Used Ibanez from the 80's eg Musician , Roadstar etc they were great basses back in the 80's sure there must be some lefties out there>

Running the cab "as is" will most likely blow the JBL first so I would advise against that course of action. These cabs were not the greatest design IMO since they're rather shallow so there is room for improvement...depending on how much time you want to spend rebuilding it to suit your needs... Personally, I'd trash the cab and move the D140 - presuming that it's in good working order - into a smaller cabinet and enjoy the ride. The Showman will likely blow it with power above 6-7, so be mindful of that. Good luck.

Really pleased to see it all went well and I certainly hope to make it next time. 🤞🤞

Well, that's me half way home in one piece. Thanks to our wonderful organising committee for putting together an excellent bash. Great to put some faces to names, and I played some fun basses which made me smile, in particular the 12 string Hamer and the teeny tiny Harley Benton micro Jazz. If I'm not gigging - see you next year! Cheers Matt

+1^^ @Bluewine - really great to hear your band in action. As Lozz said - a really good sound, and some nice footage too!

Owing to a hernia operation, followed shortly by a rotator cuff shoulder injury, we have had no gigs or rehearsals for a couple of months. Today was our first. Had to use a U Bass ad O can’t yet cover the whole fretboard on a standard bass but it went really well. Tightest we have been for a year or more 👍 Next up? Gig on the 22nd.

Tribute bands require a totally different logic. I know the guys in a Cream/Hendrix tribute band and they went out and bought Marshall 412 stacks!! They are nearly as old as me. . . utter madness!!

It seemed their manufacturing just couldn’t keep up with the demand. It’s been a big hit.

Same here, which is why I bought the lightest gear available at the time and a heavy duty trolley (Wolfcraft) for the days when I just don't want to carry anything.

I see that we also have a ToneX Plug model now, plugs directly in to the bass and allows Bluetooth audio in for practice. Controlled by a phone app too:

I've been using ACS for approx 18 years, PRO17's, PRO20's and a set of PRO26's, for one particular guitarist!! I wouldn’t gig without them.

That stuff is arena worthy. Great chops. Daryl

Thanks to @NancyJohnson and @prowla for all their efforts and organisational skills. Basschat is good, but it's better to meet up with bass players. I got a few ideas for the future. Thanks guys.

Crossroads I'm not sure if you can open this. If you can at one point I go into a fill that I didn't didn't land so great. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/199PqQfWCa/ Daryl

I’ve not thought to use the vertical plane! Love it! What an inspiration! Great pedals too!
