@BassBags I'd be interested what you thought as an Eastman supplier. Thanks

Hi, I just noticed that the side on one of the shoulders of my Eastman has slightly pulled away from the back, and there's a slight crack about one centimetre long at the bottom, which I've highlighted. The odd thing is, it's a hybrid bass with carved front and back and laminate sides, so I wouldn't have expected the laminate to have moved if anything, yet that's how it looks. Also the back hasn't come away from the side, the side just seems to have contracted, but it all seems pretty solid. so I'm not massively concerned at the moment but you never know. Has anyone had a similar issue? Would you be concerned? Thanks, Pete

HW is Harry White. He is on Facebook.

Can you smooth tuffcab with a brush to get a flat finish around ports etc.?

Having played with dmx, it should make setup easier... just a couple of long cables to link the t-bars. No messing around setting up individual units as the controller will set them up. I'm aiming for no more than choosing a preset or a bank and a speed between songs which should only take a few moments. I might do one or two chases later.

for those that are up for it December is upon us ...

Its Showcase time ... or at least copy someone else time. Maybe, maybe not though, as December is traditionally the challenge of presenting a cover, it could be a new one or any that you have recorded this year. It can be a faithful attempt at the original, a minimalist approach or a radical re-imagining but based on another song or tune . This marks the spot for the start of the challenge , dive in and have some fun. ✅ Entries must be <5 minutes and recorded between now and the deadline. ❌ No illegal samples, copyright infringements or other snide goings-on ❌ Bagpipes, only if they are absolutely essential, but must be recorded live from Edinburgh castle at -65db ❌ No voting for your own entry. We'll know. And we'll shame you.. Deadline-wise, we will go for Midnight on Chrimbo day ... Which really means you can still get cracking after Charlies speech A line or two of blurb as usual for the vote thread will be super duper smashing lovely. catch you later PS we can sort a photo out for the January challenge after Chrimbo

He's come a long way since doing Gear4Music demo videos...

Bought a Valeton OC-10 octaver from Carl. Nice chap. Good coms & despatched quickly. Recommended with thanks

Normally I'd agree there, but...the SP212 isobaric configuration means that while it has two twelves it only has the output of a one twelve. A proper 212 will give the OP what he needs, save the SP212 for those gigs where it's enough on its own.

Bought a SahBro? Brass Section Fuzz from Phil. Top man, smooth & easy transaction. Posted quickly. Recommended with thanks
