Orangebox EVA-HB Chair - no armrest version

Interesting. Wonder if hes the same guy who imported all those CIJ's back in the mid 2000's, as you rarely see them for sale.. and to have so many?

If you buy white, you should be able to make whatever colour you want with some acrylic colourant. I've done this myself with colourant from Polyvine. I've never tried tinting white - so I've no idea how much you'd need. To get a good textured finish, you'll need the special foam rollers from Blue Aran. They're not the same as the ones you can buy in DIY stores - the foam is much coarser. You can buy them from Ali Express but I haven't seen them anywhere else. If anyone knows another source, that would be useful. If you can recess the input panel, you'll achieve a better seal - and it will also look better - but surface mounting works also. Don't for goodness sakes mess about with sealant. Use adhesive foam strip. 2mm thickness is about right. I'd use screws on the rear panel. Plenty of them. I'm assuming you're gluing the panel in, but do use foam gasket otherwise. Fixing the speaker with T-nuts and bolts (likely M4 or 5) is the preferred method, but woodscrews should work on this size of speaker. If the Fane is already gasketed (which is unusual), you won't need to add any more. If you really need silicone sealant, you haven't built the cab properly. Unless you have a good (i.e. expensive) crimp tool and the correct crimps (there are different specifications), solder the terminals. It's fine. You don't normally need removable panels to access the inside of the cab, as you should be able to gain access through the hole in the baffle for the driver. By all means, make the panels removeable for testing, but once you're happy with the cab, I'd glue them in. Sealant has no place in a speaker cabinet!

Thanks for a completely hassle free sale, Magnus! Friendly comms and quick payment! 🙂

I had the Flightcase and the powered cab and used the Flightcase on the floor next to me and alongside the 300 (as opposed to the more visually impressive in top of the 300), best of both worlds

I would ask the guy to double check the photos and description on that one as it says it has a black pickguard mod yet pics show tort

I think I'll go for it. I had a MIJ Precision roughly that age and it was really good. I reckon I'll like the Jazz neck on this one, and the weight, and the look. I usually prefer a J neck and tone (slightly more dubby), but I like the body shape of P basses and the simple controls and they are often lighter, and suppose a bit of EQ on the amp can go a long way to getting that dubby tone.

I have a Hbada butterfly, 3 years in and going strong. More expensive models are available. https://www.hbada.uk/collections/all

That's what I use - two or three 4x5 cabs - and it works for me. My amp (AG700) is 700W, but I don't use it at anything like full power.

What are your thoughts on the amp now after some time spent with it? It would be useful to know what you were using before and how you think this amp compares for what it is you do. Ta, Rob

We took our southern rock covers band to Trillians, a small independent venue in the centre of Newcastle. This venue has in-house PA and engineer. We took our Behringer XR18 to run our IEMs using a passive split. Gearwise, I used my Overwater 5 string jazz, Shure GLXD16+, Empress compressor, Jad Freer Capo, and SushiboxFx Finally DI. I did have my Ashdown ABM 500W 1x15 combo on stage but that was more for show due to the aforementioned in-house PA and our IEMs. Despite being down a fiddle player, we still had a great night and the punters seemed to enjoy themselves with the venue full from the get go. One of those gigs you wish you could play every week 😎

Yeah, I haven’t seen one that low, I don’t think it’ll be there long

Last night was an odd gig at Cockenzie & Port Seton British Legion. Turned up to hear they never sold too many tickets. They reckoned 30-40 which was about the size of the audience. Once again they didn't advertise the event and even tho we sent 8 posters there were none up in the venue. Nothing on their FB page either until a few days ago. Decent sized venue with a good stage too. At one point after sound check we were getting worried that we might no be getting paid for this one as it holds approx 100-150. BL spoke with the organiser and she confirmed we would be getting paid the full amount and she apologised for the poor turnout. Our guitarist being ex-Royal Marine and a member of the Legion told us they get a grant from the Legion to put bands on that would cover our fee so bar profits all go to the club itself. We decided to just go for it and enjoy the night for what it was and at the end of the day its a well paid rehearsal. Turns out they loved it and were up dancing most of the night with literally everyone on the floor a couple of times in the 2nd set. With such a small audience in a big hall i could count them. 😂 Sound was great and the feedback was excellent. Organiser paid us as soon as we finished and said she had asked around the hall and everyone loved it. She wants to rebook us for next year again. We did get asked to bring the volume down at half time tho altho my wife said it wasn't that loud to start with. She has ACS custom ear plugs too but didn't need them. Anyways we turned it down a touch for the 2nd set. I think with the hall being empty our volume was a bit loud first set. No major issues and the band was sounding good on stage. We had a lot of fun but we always do on stage. I think this was the smallest audience we've played to. 🤩 Usual gear. Sandberg VM4, Shure wireless, Keeley comp, Handbox WB-100, BF 212 cab with MarloweDK as back up bass. We're now using our PA company almost every gig so that's a huge bonus and saves me humphing heavy PA cabs about. Coupe of short FB reel clips appeared last night so here goes.

Very good price 👍

I’d say that’s a great deal myself, I’ve been tempted a few times to get one of those but I’ve got quite a few precisions, they look great, I think @wateroftyne had one

Thanks very much for recommending this one, really enjoyed giving it a go yesterday, it’s a great Bassline and I used my 71 P with foam under the bridge which sounded great, the intro took me a while and this video helped me with the changes , great cover

On the OP, for as long as I can remember I've tinned the bare copper when I wire a plug. Always felt a well tinned cable end will be stronger than splayed copper strands. Doesn't really make any difference to electrical performance, does it? Also, I'll tin the ends of speaker cables for the hifi as well.

Nice to see a few have landed 'over there' and folls getting to play them. I got my serial# 14 here in the US the week they were announced. Here is a gig pic, also with my 2025 Wal Mk1 for an 80s gig.

Out of the blue 8am yesterday i got a call from an old band i was in approx 10 yrs ago but we have kept in touch to see if i was busy that night. Unfortunately i was gigging. Another Glam covers band too. Dave
