Just because they're young doesn't mean they can't use Formingband, Partysounds, Musofinder, Gumtree, local rehearsal studio billboard, etc does it? Just state clearly in the ad and title the ages you're looking for.

I'm not sure about the VS cabs weighing more than the LB's. I emailed Ashdown a while back when they came out and they told me they were identical except the VS212 is a 4ohm cab and the LB212 is 8ohm. I also think they were lying about the weight of the LB cabs, somebody was selling an LB112 on here recently because it turned out to be 15kg instead of the advertised 9kg! Not sure what's going on really.

I've always fancied getting one myself. I'm not to great at the drums but brilliant at slapping rhythyms on my belly. A cajon would probably sound even better.

Some people are just total numpties when it comes to listing things on eBay! Could have got lots more with a better description.

Quite a few articles found via Google! http://lmgtfy.com/?q=build+your+own+cajon

If the wiring from the terminals to the speaker look solid, maybe try connecting a small 9v battery to the speaker terminals to see if moves? Any tweeter or crossover network involved?

I think you can only get 2, 8, or 32 with 4x 8ohm drivers. Only way to change is to replace the speakers, so you may as well buy another cab!

Only James Lomenzo's custom jobbies have the maple board.

I know Bassdirect have them in stock, don't know about Yorkshire though. I've been thinking of upgrading my BB415 to one! General opinion of them is very high, I would love to try one side by side with the 2025X to see if the ARE and IRA treatments provide any noticeable difference.

WoT, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on Steamliner vs Walkabout!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1333965585' post='1608718']There was a thread on TalkBass stating that if you go for FMs you may have to adjust your truss rod, but I can't confirm that. [/quote] You should tweak your truss rod whether you change to a set of higher or lower tension strings if you want your bass playing at its best. Surprised nobody had mentioned TI (Thomastik Infeld) Flats! My favourite strings on a P by far, got some LaBellas on there right now but planning on switching back at some point.

Bought a Streamliner from Brian, he shipped it immediately and it turned up the next day, cheers!

+1 for OBBM, his site is [url="http://www.rock-wire.uk.com/"]http://www.rock-wire.uk.com[/url]. I've also used [url="http://stores.ebay.co.uk/ultimateproaudio"]http://stores.ebay.co.uk/ultimateproaudio[/url] who make good stuff too.

The quietest bass I've ever owned was a Warmoth SG with (famously loud) Dark Star pickups and an active Audere pre. The loudest bass I've ever owned is my passive Yamaha BB415!

I got in touch with these guys earlier today about a custom cover for a Barefaced Midget. They replied straight away and seemed very helpful. I prefer the thick padded leather look to the more anorak looking Roqsolid! They can also make a velcro flap to cover the underside too. I shall be ordering one once I've got all the measurements...

Was that recently? Maybe they got their shiznit together. Anyway, I've been in touch with HotCovers about a custom cover for a Barefaced Midget and might go with them.

I like the vinyl look of their covers compared to Roqsolid's ones, but sure am glad I read this thread first!
