Bare face 2x10 - voiced differently to what you tried before (so people say, I’ve only owned a few cabs).

Looks very much like my Japanese Squire from around the same era. What’s the nut width?

Hello chums. I bought a Meinl cajon kit. Ok so far. Built it. Not bad. Played it. Sounds like a box. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of snare snap. Anyone familiar with these instruments able to offer any suggestions on improving the snare snap? Thank you in advance.

I think we all have to vent now and then! My dad was a cabinetmaker - if he messed something up he’d destroy the piece there and then so it wouldn’t weigh on his mind!

Practising my “clamping bits of wood” skills with a cajon kit in anticipation of the cab build!

I agree. That there would look so much cleaner with just the P’s.

That looks so good! I’ve got my name down for one, but they look so good I’d be tempted to build a second and use them as mega hifi speakers!!! Oh, hang on, my house is tiny...

Every time I think I’m over it, you post something like that. Man, I need a bass of this calibre in my life!

Whaaat??? Damn! I forgot about my gig money account so used that for ordering one of these last night!

Super glue will sort it out (it was originally developed to stick skin back together in the Vietnam war or something).

Spectracomp tagged on to the Thomann order I’d been hovering over for days. The Thumpinator will need to wait til next pay day. I shall report back...

I think I’m going to go spectracomp & Thumpinator after the shared thoughts here and an afternoon on YouTube! Thanks all!

I have an Ampeg Pf350, so I don’t believe that has a hpf. I also have a muting tuner already (Korg Pitchblack). I like the look of separate pedals, and you can swap them around, and as everyone keeps saying about heads & cabs vs combos, if one dies it doesn’t take the other with it. The other thing putting me off the one pedal solution is some of the other Zoom threads here - do you have to run 2 hpf’s in series to get a decent amount of sub cut on the B1-4? I think i’m just convincing myself to get the separate bits!

I’m just confusing myself now - the hpf in the Cali76 appears to be set to alter what lows are going to the compressor rather than filtering out inaudible sub bass prior to compressing the whole signal. Is that right? I can see why that is useful, but I was after a hpf before compression circuit. Back to the drawing board...

I’ve had a read through the B1-4 thread and I’m put off by mentions of noise and artifacts at the tail end of notes. I fear a cali76 purchase on the horizon...

Hello chums. I’ve been slowly coming to the conclusion that a compressor & hpf would help me out at gigs. I’ve read the thumpinator thread, and was going to save my pennies for that first. Then find a nice transparent comp that doesn’t squish the life out of the sound at a later date. Then I saw the Cali76. Damn, that sounds the business. Then the price tag. Just, damn. Then, I saw this TC jobby; https://m.thomann.de/gb/tc_electronic_spectracomp_bass_compressor.htm?o=0&search=1559330249 I don’t know much about this toneprint business, but could I add some sort of hpf toneprint to the compressor, thus achieving my desires sound-wise? Your superior knowledge is most graciously invited.

Or, just leave as is, and sell it to me when you get bored of it!

I carry two! Mostly just to look cool though. Never works.

Thanks Phil! I think I’m beginning to understand their numbers now! 210 is the version that’s been around for yonks, the last two digits relate to the boom. I’ll get the 210/2 on Thomann (and some nice stands and maybe a cahon!)

It said Kay on the truss cover, but the 1969 stamp was definitely in the neck pocket. It was a piece of crap, but nostalgia is a warped puppy.

Hang on, your house is so big, you rent land inside it to a farmer? Crikey.

Which model number did you get? God I’m sounding sad.

Right, looking at K&M stuff now - the PA company we use has them and they seem hard wearing. Trouble is, there are still a few different sorts available! I just want a metal boom to hold my standard dynamic mics. So many options! Anyone familiar with the model numbers, and which one is best bang for buck?

And if you try it, please film it
