That just reminded me, one thing you never see these days is acoustic lenses. You used to see them in big PAs back in the 70s. I guess it's for mids/treble not bass though..

That's the joy of smart phones.

I use a tiny dehumidifier in my "studio" in the back 1/3rd of my garage. Doesn't help with the spiders though...

I use the treble control on my amp.

Don't forget to video the gig so the collective wisdom of Basschat can "help" you going forward

I bought one on behalf of a friend which came with a pink fake-fur strap. I didn't notice any neck dive so maybe that's the answer! I liked it so much I didn't want to hand it over.

Is there room to add another socket in parallel on the cab connector plate?

Wow! It looks like a Sei now. That's a very classy job.

Good win dude! Lucky boy! As above, I would be interested to hear your opinion how it sounds. I think going up to 6kHz would cover my need for top-end without adding a tweeter.

[url="http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/FR800.htm"]http://barefacedbass...range/FR800.htm[/url] [/quote] does anyone know if this BF uses a separate amp for the woofer and tweeter? It's not mentioned on their website. Does the DSP negate the need?

I always liked to balance the flat level of the active circuit to the passive level so if the preamp failed for whatever reason I wouldn't need to faff about too much with levels on the amp to stay in the game. I find with my U-Retro, I can't turn the pots on the preamp down far enough for the levels to be at parity, for the same setting of the guitar volume knob. That's running at 9 Volts too, though the voltage has less to do with gain than headroom, I believe.

[quote name='stevie' timestamp='1431880721' post='2775845'] I'm now waiting for MoonBassAlpha to ask us what this has to do with the discussion. I must get some work done....... [/quote] Sorry, it's the relevance Police's day off today

+1 for Tru-Oil. It CAN be built up to give a shine with enough layers and elbow grease, but a couple of thin layers wiped on gives a fairly natural feeling finish and the colour change is about like lightly dampening the wood.

Replace the saddles with vintage-style ones that have threads on the barrel like this: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Vintage-Style-Bass-Bridge-Threaded-Saddles-NICKEL-/331324365448?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d24789a88"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Vintage-Style-Bass-Bridge-Threaded-Saddles-NICKEL-/331324365448?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d24789a88[/url]

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1430682626' post='2763709'] How about a vertical oriented isobaric 8x 15, 4 speakers high but with the rear speakers wired in antiphase and facing rearward. Would that work? [/quote] I meant to add, the rear facing speakers are not in a sealed box, they're radiating rearwards. There must be a reason it wouldn't work, enlighten me!

[quote name='IanA' timestamp='1431631885' post='2773506'] Is that before or after you got banned?? [/quote] What on earth relevance is this comment to the discussion?

That's really nailing the tribute band thing accurately!

Unusual. Who were the guitarists?

The biggest gig I ever played was depping for a student band supporting the Vapours at the height of their pomp. Temporary Floor Hazard World of Carpets was an Oxford band, apparently even worse than their name.

Came across a band on Myspace once called sh*te and Onions, I think they were from Ireland.

I don't buy many singles, especially 12", but got lucky with Under the bridge - A great version of Iggy's Search and Destroy and Sikamikaniko, a great cut that didn't make BSSM, but IS in Wayne's World. Hard and funky, great B-side(s)

[quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1431207944' post='2768877'] A lad I know had a band called The Urban Valley Chickens. [/quote] I worked with a chap who had been in a band called Boiling Chicken. The main guy was a butcher.

Did you destroy this cab using your terror bass? Wembley loudspeakers are good for all speaker repairs
