Ild just leave it off if I were you or stick it inside. When we were designing them the front badge was a must, the handle badge a “ooo that would be good” and the back badge an added bonus I convinced Stevie we should do (it took a while to convince him to let me put his name on it)

Loving this thread. I ended up in bed sick at the weekend so didn’t manage to do the decorating-that-should-be-done-before-the-cab ... and felt better this eve... so out I went to my man cave to slightly widen the rabbets with sandpaper - mine were so tight I was having to hit it fairly hard with a mallet to dry fit. Much better now apart from the baffle but I’ll fix that closer the time. I was also intrigued by Stevie recommending using sandpaper rather than a router for the roundover - if you turn it down slow enough and are sensible it cuts with a router.

Phew!

I was thinking of putting an East Uni-Pre in my Streamer Stage one instead of the ACG pre currently in it... but either way it’s mine!

Nicely rounded edges there

When I was doing the dry fit I thought that might be a risk of the super tight fit.

Couldn’t find that

4x 600mm sash clamps for £16? eBay item 133184878318 cheap enough it would be daft for me not to buy them. Think I’ve got everything but the screwfix parts now, and there’s a screwfix 400m away!

Yes it is. Except when the transformer went up in smoke and cost £££ to replace

I've been fairly careful with basses and not lost masses on anything, normally where I can mentally chalk it up as the cost of renting a bass for a few years. Number one expensive gear mistake is the DIY bass I made in my profile picture. I was the second iteration and I ended up spending a fair bit on parts. All in I probably spent double what I would get for it selling it as a bitsa - the worst thing is that it's actually an alright bass - just no where near as nice the other three basses I own. It currently lives in a case ontop of the wardrobe and I've no idea what to do with it! If it helps your reviews on here of the MPulse600 and Walkabout helped me when someone I know let me play his Pulse600 and pair of Walkabouts - I left with a Walkabout, so you probably helped me avoid spending ££ on the MPulse 600. It's not that it's a bad amp, it's just....

Yeah well I know I said I would do the hall project first... dry fit, a wee bit tighter than idea I think but sturdy as anything- well done @stevie - it’s a wonder - and @funkle for this build thread which was helpful in order

Can you believe they were hidden under an old carpet when we moved in? It was only as the inset door mat left a little ridge that I pulled it back and found them shortly after we moved in. Lots of scrubbing, learning how to clean Victorian floor tiles (1860-70 based on the factory details on the back, House is older) and repairing just two small patches. You can see the tools in the background- we are in the middle of one of those mental-when-will-this-finish DIY jobs decorating the hall and landing... it would be simple except the fact that I’ve had to dismantle, restore and rebuild in a more child friendly manner the stair banister... the bass cab build has to be priority two till that is finished

I was thinking it was bad timing!!

So I’m at work but apparently somethings arrived!

Why do you favour the HH over the single H? I tried a single H in that finish in PMT Leeds - it was awesome

What I love about the stomp is that I can set up a basic rig in 30 seconds.... but you can go deep into setting things up.... i have a patch where the first switch is an od, and the second switch goes between the 810 cab or the 410 cab with a compressor on at the front of the chain - the ability to switch three things with one button press is awesome. And I’ve not even got into snapshots yet!

To my ears, the tone to me sounds a lot like a fair bit of good technique and lots of practice For that sound I bet that player could get there on your Yamaha with the tone half way down. For something more like the record (I just looked it up on youtube to listen) @drTStingray's advice would probably get you there. My guess, and this is a guess is that if you cannot get somewhere near that tone with your Yamaha bass and strings... then make sure the action isn't too low, turn the amp gain up and practice playing with a wee bit softer touch to see if that gets you there...

My start wondering about cabs was when I wondered why my Tecamp cab sounded ok quiet but rubbish at gigs - it wasn’t far from that Marshall cab (except no driver mixing) what was crazy is they made the cab in three sizes and I think you or someone pointed out it would probably work ok in the smaller size enclosure

Used my stomp live today at church. Passed with flying colours - did exactly what I bought it to do, nice compression and as I play harder it runs it into a nice SVT overdrive sound ... previously ild just end up peaking the desk and getting nasty sounds in my ears, or just having the old Zoom B3n sounding struggling with the input. Given that it’s a first time setting up two patches it went well!

I was wondering that too

Main major difference is size - the full fat stuff looks great in every way ... till I saw the size of it! The stomp is brill and wee.

So yesterday I had a day off and got to sit with the stomp for the first decent amount of time - man that was five hours that went fast! Got a few patches set up for Sunday church.

Careful with plasticoat on top of anything.... test it first as it adheres by melting the first layer of plastic slightly.... as a sculpture student in slightly different uses we found it horrid stuff and used the better and cheaper Molitow graff paint

The one downside of this is how much I’ve learned from reading advice build threads on here, bassich and Talkbass - it’s often in them that the “try this technique” type comments come out. Example being the tuffcab/leather effect funkle went for was originally found in a fearful cab build thread. My guess is more than a few people will build these themselves without the kit.

@funkle - do you want the rest of us adding our builds on this thread?
