Thanks Bill - I've added a quote regarding Hoffman's Iron Law for anyone else interested. That was useful advice - much appreciated. Hoffman’s Iron Laws of Speaker Building 1) Bass Extension 2) Efficiency 3) Small Enclosure The law is that you can only have two of these three attributes in speaker building. Ideally we would want all three, we want speakers with good bass, can play really loud, and are small. Unfortunately we cannot have all these. Typically, if you find small speakers with good bass, they will require a lot of power or won’t get very loud. If you find big speakers with good bass, they won’t require much power. If you find small speakers with no bass, they will not require a lot of power and will get decently loud. All off these are vague statements and basically amount to use common sense; you won’t get a tiny subwoofer unless it has some insane power requirements and you won’t have tiny speakers that rattle the house. What I'm after - a small cabinet with low power & not a huge bass response for use as a low volume practice amp setup - I understand that I'll have to sacrifice the bass response, but didn't realise that I'd need more power as well. That's useful to know. So I guess my modified question should be 'can anyone recommend a tiny bass cab (or design for one I could build) with a compromised bass response for low-volume practice? Power require ment as necessary (10w +)'

Can anyone recommend a tiny bass cab - 5w / 10w to go with the Hotone Nano bass amp head? The one that Hotone used to supply is discontinued Ta v much

What makes a bad bass player? I defer to an expert.

Hello BassChat effects experts Does anyone have any theories as to the effects combination in the bass intro to Twisted (Everyday Hurts) played by Cass of Skunk Anansie? Skunk Anansie - Twisted (Everyday Hurts) - YouTube I'm thinking maybe Synth -> Wah? Or Fuzz -> Ocatver -> Wah maybe? Ideas gratefully received.

You poor thing!

@Skinnyman is far worse though. He overplays using a Rickenbacker.

Ps. The soon to be born Teeblet was bomping about like a mad 'un when I was playing with the SY-1 apparently! Foetus seal of approval achieved!

Purchased the SY-1 today & had a right good broddle about with it. Very impressed! Some crazy stuff, but it seems usable for originals and covers. Not too difficult to tame the beast to achieve some nice sounds. Thanks peoples 👍🏻

Or "Now where did I put that new bloody fuse?"

My playing is a weapon I use to inflict pain upon my enemies. Collateral damage is only to be expected.

I did the same - it does look (& sound) pretty good 👍🏻

Not strictly a quote from a musician, nor particularly inspirational: Hi, we live on Dorset Avenue (2 streets away), and if this noise continues, we're going to call Environmental Health. We just thought we'd mention it as a courtesy. One of my first band rehearsals at the singer's parent's house, rural Manchester circa 1997. Everyone's an effing critic.

Twerp.

Mancunian liking gravy pea, 6 foot, bad player & proud!

Bad player and a shortarse!

Isn't the SY-1 a guitar *spits* pedal? Does it work okay with bass @stewblack ? What do people think about the SYB-5? Ta
