    I'd say if you're starting into recording a kit, having a hole makes it a lot easier to adjust and tune your damping inside the drum. My old kit didn't even have a resonant head, and I got perfectly usable recordings like that with the mic sitting inside on a folded piece of carpet against the head.

    Ruth Goller!

    Yes, nice mix! Love the percussion recording. Bass sounds great too. The only thing I'm not keen on is the guitar tone, but that's just personal taste.

    That's on my "must try" list too!

    Been a while bump, get your stealth on, folks!

    Plain old redwood? Nice one!

    I wonder if the picture was the casting call for this video? :

    The Ambassador I'll be using just arrived today. It was half the price of a ported head, so not much to lose. Didn't want experiment with the nice new Gretsch logo head! Thanks for videos, I didn't even think of YouTube. I don't have any tins of anything that big, but then, I'm not American...

    I've just bought a new resonant head for my new kit's bass drum with the intention of cutting a hole for the mic and inserting damping. The standard size appears to be 5 inches, but as it's an 18 inch head, should I go smaller, or is it not that important? I'm just concerned it might ruin any remaining resonance if the hole is too large in proportion to the overall head size. Any thoughts?

    Although it's not the same, there are some carbon fibre wrap/laminates that look pretty good and would be a lot less trouble for a scratchplate

    Phones take pretty good pictures these days

    Is that a sort of double relief on the back? What's the thought behind that?

    That's a belter! Love it!

    Didn't Warwick's tag line used to be "the sound of wood " ?

    Nobody has mentioned Lightwave yet?

    That does look rather nice. How does it balance, with the short upper bout?

    Nice job. These are very usable basses, back in the 70s they used to turn up in junk shops for peanuts. The prices being asked these days are quite eye watering!

    @dangerboy had some aluminium bass thing going on. Haven't seen him in a while. He bought my Kramer 450b ages ago and had an Electrical Guitar Company one iirc

    Just the pickups actually. It's the usual poor quality Fender switch, I'd heard of a lot of quality issues with these and thought, well, I'm fine, they must be talking rubbish, then it cut out the other day in the bridge position. I always prefer blend on basses so that might give me the impetus to get on and do it

    They were listed separately and sold the day I put them up. Sorry!
