I've not seen that before, looks rather good. Waiting with interest....

Good solid IEM setup there.

Worst purchase: set of Ernie Ball strings I bought on a whim at the guitar and bass show and haven't put them on. Second place best: the Smoothhound wireless kit I took in px when I sold my EBS Session 60 amp. It buzzes and plips like anything on stage, but in my practice room it's silent and means one less lead. Which makes it easier to pick up the bass and practice. Best purchase: In person lessons! I don't practice enough in the week to get the maximum value (blame the job) but I am slowly and measureably improving stamina and repeatabilty and adding to my technique. Big shout out to Chris at at The Instrument Factory in Newport Pagnell.

Looks the business, but the minimum order is 70 yards!! I shared the suggestion of pulling the tab to see if the grill comes away. If it does then her Mum will probably replace the fabric (Dad is blind) and can discuss options with the daughter. She wouldn't take a cab apart though.

That is a build diary I would love to see!

I hadn't spotted the black tab, my EBS had the same thing. In that case it will be dead easy. You're right though, the time consuming bit will be the staples. Will let you know how it goes.

Hi All, A friend of mine has a well loved Fender Rumble 40 which she uses as an on stage monitor at church with the DI to the PA. However the grill cloth is damaged and needs replacement. Her dad wants to do this as a surprise, and seems to think I might be competent to help! Fender style cloth will cost about £40-£60, but I don't think she's fussed about an exact match on the cloth, just the grey colour, which means cheaper options are available. This looked pretty good to me. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pewihyer-Protective-Dustproof-Replacement-Speakers/dp/B0FF327BYT Any suggestions on cloth? How hard is it to get the cab apart to change the cloth? Or does the grill just lever forwards? Thanks as always!

Bumped up as I realised the box with this stuff in is still in my garage.

I love ACG basses!

Another talented band.👍 Maybe the future of music won't be so bad after all?

I thoroughly enjoyed that, I left it playing on repeat while decorating. Indie pop isn't my genre really, but as others have said, had an 80s feel, and could almost have been Blondie in a couple of places. There were some neat turns of phrase in the lyrics, particularly in the latter songs on the album. There's some talent developing there Available through Bandcamp, which is how I've bought the CD. https://tulparockband.bandcamp.com/album/monster-of-the-week

I'll kick it off after Christmas.

Of course it is. "And a very profitable Thanksgiving to one and all" said Tiny Tim

Remember too Black Friday bargains are usually just stuff the retailers can't get rid of, or that they've discounted previously anyway.
