'scuse my ignorance, but what is a 'Basschat Micro Bass Cab'?

Some good folk on here designed a few cabs for DIY construction;

Here’s my effort;

These seem a good all round balance too (and current);

The plant needs a water, but here’s my wife-friendly living room entry - Peterson combo from the early 80’s.

Ah, man.  After the next one I have lined up, this thread has just encouraged me to try 6 string.  Maybe even fretless.  FFS.

That is pretty.  Here’s hoping my numbers come up this eve..

Great excuse for a new bass.

I like these games.  Didn’t have the finish I wanted (walnut or roasted ash body) but this is nice;

Love the grain on that.

There was a nice looking Blackstar 2x10 in the classifieds the other day.  See if I can find it now…

Found it:

Still a 2x10 400w cab up for £99.  Bonkers.

I also had a ganders to no avail 😂

If you hadn't already worked it out yesterday's post was an April fool joke. I posted it on several platforms and what I found interesting was how enthusiastic some people were about the idea of using wood ash to make a guitar. As a result I'm actually going to make a sample of "ashcrete" just to see what happens....

Meanwhile back in the real world -

 

Oh man, you got me!  In my defense, you are aging a guitar body in the garden for months at a time!

Ashsolutely bonkers!  I love it!

Squier Sonic Broncos are current, so should be some available to try in ye olde fashioned music shoppe.  The white one looks ace.

The old Vistas are hard to find and have a 42mm nut width.  Guessing preference would be for a 38mm?

Could be something daft like a compressor ducking the bass channel on the digital mixer?

I can rarely help, but I love an ID thread!  😂

I remember those!  Lovely looking bass.  Congrats on your acquisition!

Maybe he got in to modding Harley Benton PB 50s?  I jest, but that would be awesome.

If you can put up with a slightly scruffy black one I will probably be listing it soon for a fraction over half that price (I am fully paid up).

Thank you, but I’m fixated on getting a white one!  Good to know not everyone is jumping on the silly price bandwagon - there is hope for me yet…

Supply & demand though I guess - made for only a year and lots of buzz ont’ net.  Not surprising.

I’d really love one in white, but the asking prices these days seem silly.

Happy BF Two10 user here.  Usually gig with a 9 piece soul band - plenty loud.  Have also done several Guns’n’Roses-type gigs with two Marshall 4x12s.  Kept up.

Can’t see me needing anything else, ever.

As mentioned too - anything beyond the drum kit’s acoustic volume (ie, mic’d up kit) would mean PA support for everything else anyway.

I’ve been keeping an eye out for a white one forever.  This popped up on my watchlist and looks to be in fantastic condition, so thought I’d share.

I can’t find these on Thomann any longer.  Maybe they have now actually been discontinued.

Bogart?

Recent convert to LaBella low tension flats (think they only do the one gauge).

Love them on my long scales, but thought they might be a bit floppy on my short scale.  Bought a set anyway…

Thankfully they feel as great on the short scale as they do in a long scale!  Thought I’d mention it just in case anyone else was wondering the same.
