very cool indeed. I love the actual board itself (wooden case with lifty-up bit) and noticed another post in this thread looks as if it uses a similar one. Would you mind sharing what it is?? I'm sure it is explained somewhere but I have managed to miss it. Thanks

Thanks Stevie. I'm tempted to ask why it is so component specific, but I guess it's because of how all the different properties of a cab design interact in reality 'on the bench' rather than in the software? The tailoring analogy is great. It is of course possible to buy a perfectly decent suit off the peg from M&S (dare I say Asda or is that a 'bodge' too far!?). I guess the difference is that making it bespoke means it is a perfect fit rather than 'good enough'. Cheers, I'm learning loads from this ... mainly about how much there is to learn

Is this a 2nd order LPF and 3rd order HPF design? Testing myself here... In case you haven't seen it, blue aran has a crossover configuration thing on their website. It is interesting and maybe even useful in this case.

Sorry to hear you are struggling @KbD. For what it is worth, I think a big part of the reason many of play is about identity. Do you think of yourself as a bass player? Or would you like to? Everything that comes with it - the sense of having an identity, membership of some kind of group (whether thats a band or a internet forum!) etc is important to lots of us. If you have that, or want it, keep playing. The good thing is that it is a very easy club to join and no one can kick you out. I spend more time reading about bloody speaker excursion than playing bass at the moment, but I still think of myself as a bass player and it is actually part of how I see myself. I have pretty crappy technique and a very bad ear but it doesn't mean I should quit. If you're not bothered about that - or just don't get what I mean - then maybe let your gut be your guide my friend. That said, I do believe there is something inherently beneficial about playing music os I'd say stick with it unless it is making you miserable. Learn a new line, or a new scale and you will soon get a little hit of dopamine Wishing you well, Doug

Making it so that the baffle can be swapped is a genius idea

great to see Tech21 on BC It doesn't seem to be available here yet ... any idea when it'll arrive on these shores?

thanks @JohnDaBass , it is ordered!

Just noticed it this afternoon, very cool: https://www.tech21nyc.com/products/flyrig/bass-fly-rig-v2/

hi, a while back I put a Groove Tubes valve / tube in my ABM head and it is brilliant. Clean glassy tubeness without much breakup. If I want to go the other way and get a really thick dirt sound, can anyone recommend a tube? Cheers, Doug

Moving at a snail's pace here... This 10cm port seems to be ideal: https://www.bluearan.co.uk/index.php?id=MON126660&browsemode=category Only issue is it needs a 103mm cut-out. My hole saw has a 100mm 'blade' but don't think i'd want to try to squeeze the tube in there. Is there a 103mm hole-saw anyone recommends for it?

It works as an 'event' - like the long jump. You've set a record of 7hrs until we get a longer one!

Some serious staying power! Nice to see some extreme endurance champions to counterbalance this morning's sprint

Hi folks, A bit of pure basschat geekery here. Look away if you're expecting anything useful or even musical... Think @warwickhunt and I may have set a record for the fastest sale. From me posting the advert to the item arriving in his hand it took 32 mins according to the forum clock. It was a totally genuine sale with no prior contact or other shenanigans. I confess to getting a kick out of it ...and was relieved that there were no speed cameras on the way 🤣 Happy to take a drug test if the moderators insist 🤣... can anyone beat our time, or claim another Olympian feat?

Hi Phil, just a quick one to say thanks for the message above. I'm still in the planning rather than doing phase - this thread has been extremely helpful.

Hi Phil - any chance you could enlighten me on how you achieved this flat response down to about 55-60hz? And are these charts taking Xmax limitation into account? Thanks again, Doug.
