I'm already burying my magic mending mate in amp problems. Don't want to bug him with this. Funds exhausted at the moment so professional repair not an option.

15" is all I can tell you. Oh but I could upload audio of the fart. VID_20180928_122230.mp4

Nothing else looks unglued or damaged. More pics.. will secure that plate then try it.

The connecting wires to the rear of the speaker are soldered the plate they're soldered to is loose. First possible problem.

Thanks for that guys, really good advice. I shall follow all the suggestions and report back

Bought a cab and made the classic mistake of not listening to it at volume. Played through it before handing over the cash and it sounded lovely, got it home and (not remotely at gig volume) can't play below the 5th fret on the E string without being accompanied by horrible crappy farting sound. No question the seller was genuine about not turning up and disturbing the old folk downstairs - I'm not complaining about that - I want to know is a speaker in any way repairable and if not where does one buy an adequate replacement and how do I calculate a suitable speaker for the particular cabinet into which it must be put? Thanks oh bottom end hive mind.

I've had a dep slot come in for this weekend and need to learn a few and brush up on a few. Was reacquainting myself with the final chorus of Footloose and kept tripping over a few bars. So reverting to first principles I thought 'slow it right down, play to a metronome, gradually speed it up'. As youtube was open I decided to use a drum beat on there and found this wonderful vid. Not having any Apple products about the place I can't try the app itself but frankly this is plenty good enough for me. Just >> to a suitable starting tempo and let it run. The imperceptible increase is just great for getting up to and beyond the speed you need.

Maybe musty rather than fuzzy. A bit fousty. Not clinical like a modern bass sound.

Gosh, JPJ is rather good isn't he?

Thank you.

I just need to discover how to get there and where to park. Can you even take a car to London any more? Been years since I've travelled that way.

Oh my it's arrived. I can't believe you actually did it and it actually arrived. It's a work of art.

Damn!

So in a moment of spontaneous recklessness I bought a ticket to see Mr Dart and his pals up in the big smoke. Anyone else going? Any scope for a BC meet up before the gig?

Look out London I'm coming

Basschat introduced me to Mr Dart and his friends. It was only a couple of days ago and already I am entirely smitten. I don't know where I go to sign up for life membership of the church of JD but man count me in.

Nice ! And more than a little inspirational. Making my own cabs soon. May go down a similar route...

That's brilliant Phil. Seriously thank you. I appreciate there is a greater complexity and nuance to this stuff but I feel I have a way in now.

Guys, if you've already done an idiots guide to these graphs could you point me in the appropriate direction? If not it would be great to have a broad brush stroke explanation for myself and I suspect others around these parts.

In a world of first rate Basschatters Tom still stands out. Bought a Squire bass from him and he was a pleasure to deal with, honest, courteous, prompt, and did the best courier proof packaging job I've ever seen. Deal with absolute confidence.

Lost My Treble is rather appropriately the teaser track on BC https://vulfpeck.bandcamp.com/
