I love that they’ve got a strong family visual identity. I like the look of the OBM500, but damn, look at the cab covering and cloth combo on the SBM112! Want…

You guys change your strings? -
Well, if anyone ever needed an excuse to have twice as many speakers… Cheers John! 😂

Fit a “top hat” to the underside. Sorted. I’ve got one I’ll never use if you want me to pop it in the post, Rob.

P bass - Pickup recommendations- weird one.

I have a JV Squier that had the raised pole pieces on the factory pups (‘Twas the done thing back in the day, apparently) - drove me mad! Swapped for Toneriders. Very happy. -
Ooh, initially I thought black, but some sort of off white would work well, too.

You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave! Welcome to the Hotel South West Bass Bash!

Yeah the bridge pup was definitely added later, otherwise it would be painted too. Also, the grain looks like ash to me.

I’m in Swansea. Have you already bought it?
-
Ooh, nice! Is the body scaled-down, or full size?

I’d say he’s quite baked.

No, it was definitely Brian Harvey, but I can see what you mean.

What was that bloke’s name from East 17? He managed it.

Also interested in the answers. Asked a bloke in a music shop about a file set 20-odd years ago. He said it was cheaper just to pay for a set up. 50 basses later… 🤦🏻♂️

What about using the sacrificial bolts idea, but take them out immediately after you finish the painting of the armacab, while it’s still wet?

I assume it’s to lessen the impact to your fingers when you walk in to some immovable object loading in. I’ve got a hell of a lump on my little finger where I bashed it on a hand rail carrying a tumble dryer - if only it had rounded edges…

Peterson combo driver upgrade (and related plywood boxes)
Pea Turgh replied to Pea Turgh's topic in Amps and Cabs
All put together. Sounds loud and deep as hell, but still a little muddy around 200hz. Sounds like many other bass cabs I’ve heard though. Maybe my tastes are a little different. I don’t go for the super flubby bottom end - I like clean and tight. Actually prefer the sound of the Beyma in the Peterson box as-is! I see a twin 8” build in the future… -
Just sketched out something that will be equal to two 1x8s stacked on landscape. Me likey. I was just going to make it with those dimensions and put two ports in. I would welcome your input though @Phil Starr!
-
Did anybody proceed with a 2x8 version? Not even finished my 12” and already getting the measuring tape out for another build!

Peterson combo driver upgrade (and related plywood boxes)
Pea Turgh replied to Pea Turgh's topic in Amps and Cabs
2 internal braces fitted - 1 diagonally across the back panel, the other diagonally across the baffle between the port and the driver. A silly idea perhaps, but it seemed to reduce the resonance tapping the panels. Stuck some random shaped bits of dead sheet to all panels except the baffle. That helped a bit too. Then painted the inside with PVA and stuck wadding in. Knocking on the cab is noticeably quieter. Hopefully the sum of my efforts will result in a clearer sounding cab! Will pop the driver in tomorrow evening to find out…
