Microphones are low output, so would need a mic level input on your amp. Phantom power is for capacitor mics, but is not needed for dynamic mics. The Superlux will require phantom. Plugging a mic in to an instrument level input will sound weak, so that could be what you are describing above, so I don’t think a separate phantom unit is the way to go here, as it’s still a mic level output.

Good on John, and the unnamed thumb rest provider!

Down the rehearsal space/gig venue this morning - I swear the new finish makes it sound better! The Marshall has decided it - white piping coming soon.

Think I might go with matte black so it looks like cloth, and put some (off) white piping on.

And a nice tapestry cushion to go on top! I’ll have a chance to get it side by side with the Peterson on Saturday (left it down the rehearsal space).

Exactly! Unfortunately the grill I have will ruin the vibe. Will have to have a think about that...

So anyone know if the Ampeg pf350 has a HPF fitted?! I’m assuming it’s just the higher end stuff though.

I’m normally a bit more traditional in my bass tastes, but I really like the look of this!

Just about done! It’s a bit late, so I am losing the ability to put the right screw in the right place, but here we are so far...

Two coats on. Now we’re rockin’.

You should see that fella’s left hand though - dude looks like a fiddler crab.

Line out from the one that only has line out in to effects return of the one that has effects return? Bass plugs in to the first amp in that scenario.

Got almost an entire hour to myself today! This sanding business is a hard slog! Ruined the 40 grit paper, now moved on to the 80 (or was it 80 to 120?) but only have one sheet of each in the ‘My First Sander’ kit, so best be careful with it. Just the back panel to get the rough stuff off, then on to a final sand then finish can be applied!

I still think you should chop the knob off at the top - would balance it visually if the top horn was same or a little bigger than the bottom one.

I think I’m in love. Only my brain can only handle four strings.

I can sympathise with the whole downstairs floor needing replacing. One year on and the edging strips are still not done! Lovely build as always!

Gold anodized aluminum?!🤣

If both amps have effect send/return sockets, you could plug bass in to amp 1, then connect send from amp 1 to return of amp 2.

I reckon that would work nicely if the top horn was reduced in size.

So Finally got the sander and 10 minutes to myself! I had to drag my Peterson to rehearsal last night, and it reminded me why I need to get this one finished! Also have a gig on Saturday- will I make it? Lots of sanding to do, but I’m looking forward to the results.

Next time I need to buy an amp, I’m getting an Ashdown!

Lovely bass!

It looks massive! I’d go without.

I am a little sceptical of expensive cables - is there a scientific explanation as to how their metal conducts a signal better than other manufacturers?
