While I'm at it, shelf style ports have two issues. The short height dimension can lead to chuffing, and they don't do double duty as braces unless located between the drivers. While this isn't a bass cab, it's a sub, I use the same design features in direct radiator bass and PA mains cabs: https://celestion.com/blog/build-this-21-inch-bass-reflex-enclosure-featuring-the-tsq2145/

Hello Dali — Louis Armstrong

Plus 1 to all of these 👍

Been feasting on Hiromi Trio Project tonight. Anthony Jackson, what a player, but his technique was so awkward looking, it gives me a headache watching 🤣 I'd gladly have his chops mind.

Makes good sense, easier than taking along a second amp, plus from what I understand the SGT-DI has cab simulation so if needed through PA you can quickly get yourself where you need to be sound wise.

They’ll come after Basschat next 🤔

Good idea Daryl, 2025 has been quite varied for me: The Spacewasters (my gigging band) - we released our 2nd album, The Seven Legged Groove Machine, our principle guitarist & songwriter left, luckily got in a good replacement, and due to gigs just taking their toll on me I’ve now left. Am happy to help out when needed, and already have one gig scheduled for next year. Knock Off (my old band) - they asked me to help out for a few gigs earlier in the year as they’d parted with their bassist, so ended up playing 3 gigs, supporting, in order, Cocksparrer, GBH, and Therapy? Was nice to go back for a bit, and the first & last gigs were big venues to big crowds, the second being a sold out rammed to the rafters smaller (and much sweatier) gig. As with The Spacewasters will be happy to stand in if needed. Lastly, Thunderkunt (non gigging band) - we got a singer! One who can do Led Zep, Rainbow (Dio era) Kansas, Whitesnake, Deep Purple etc. Still not going to gig but it’s a nice variation, we’ve been playing these songs instrumentally for years, vocals making us now focus on the songs in a different way. He’s a good laugh too. Fortunately no issues other than having to stop regular gigging, but that’s a “me” thing rather than a band thing.

Looks fantastic, wishing you massive success 👍👍👍

I'm on your side of this 12 String. We had a nice on going gig at a popular club. They went the way if the Saturday night cover party bands which left us out. We were not longer a fit for the club. And we really weren't. Daryl

That is the truth. But I had bought the slightly cheaper K&M without the dog bone tightening bit. And (after many years) that bit gave up. We could not tighten them enough. But with the new part, they are functionally like new again.

Please share any specific band updates and issues you're dealing with. We all deal with similar issues. This might be good thread to share issues and solutions Daryl

Reassuring this thread as I’ve now ordered for the second time the SGT-DI pedal ! I sold mine as I was gigging the Ampeg V4B and didn’t need it however all my heavy Ampeg gear has gone and I’m playing light class D heads and MarkBass cabs I needed an Ampeg tone in a box. I will run this into the front of the Orange Little Bass Thing which is a pretty clean amp with decent compressor. The SGT will give me better EQ range for pick playing a PBass and a bit of grit for the rockier songs. Plus it’s a DI so will act as a backup to my amp in case of amp issues during a gig. Nearly went for the Venture V7 amp but it’s twice the price of the SGT and I didn’t need a new amp just improved tone and EQ / Grit

The Joyo British (Marshall) and Oxford (Orange) are a Pre Amp with Cab Sim. No XLR out unfortunately.

Yes, this is most certainly not a data capture exercise it is 100% aimed at revenue generation

Thanks @Bill Fitzmaurice @itu and @stevie for your advice. Looks like I will be doing some more sawing!!😁

The hotel I am staying in for work has almost no 3/4/5G signal and I can't connect to the WIFI 😭 Keep 'em coming and I will add them to the playlist when I get enough bandwidth.

Tuff Cab has very little odour, fwiw, so hopefully your equivalent one is the same.

Any cab sim in your signal chain will help! Even if you run it separately to the FOH. Other commenters are correct in that the audience can't hear your signal, but at the same time having a great sound in your ears can help you really get into the groove playing live! If you want to experiment try the Harley Benton magnum DI, dirt cheap and really is a secret sauce type deal!
