WHUFC BASS

You would not believe the look on drummer's faces at the mere mention of an electronic kit. I've touted the idea with three drummers that I know and they all say that they're crap, the don't feel real and are difficult to adapt to for recording. I think they're just making excuses personally LOL!

I've used 100mm phenolic board in the ceiling. It's a cold roof and I've used Gapotape to fill in the gaps. Oh and how messy is expanding foam? LOL! You're not the first person who's said that! 😂 Thanks mate! Well there's a big window in there for starters and there's trickle vents on the window for when it's closed. Not installing air-con because surprisingly due to the insulation in the roof it'll keep at a constant temperature. It's surprisingly cool in summer and I've been in there on the hottest days of the year and it's pleasantly cool. I'll be installing a wall heater for winter when it may get chilly. There's lots of insulation in the cavity (100mm Rockwool) and 50mm acoustic insulation on the interior wall.

Vapour barrier now up. Plasterboard is next.

Insulation all done. Vapur barrier is next.

Personally I really don't think that wood has much bearing on the sound of guitars or basses.

Are they really worth this much ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114849266595?hash=item1abd8cbba3:g:SuYAAOSwNepgpkad

Yeah, that's pretty much what most people feel when they play a Spector. I still love my Jazz and the Precisions but for recording, you just cannot beat a Spector. For metal, I don't think there's a better bass.

Finally have a door and a window installed. The door is a composite door with added security locks. Quite hefty with some soundproofing. Electrician came round yesterday routed the wiring which will allow me to do the roof and wall insulation too. I also started painting the studio. Word of advice, if you're going to be paint porous blockwork with a paintbrush, don't bother. Much better to invest in a spray gun which can get into all the pores of the block work. Wish I'd have known this earlier. It would have saved a lot of graft.

Hoping to but it all depends on how loud it is. Worst case will be an electronic kit but I'd rather have an acoustic kit in there.

There's absolutely no way I could do that. It would be too logical.

I did, but that was all I could get in the motor at the time. That was interesting journey home with all that timber in the back. I'm getting it delivered this time!

Had a day off this week so started on the timber stud work. Ran out of timber so have ordered more which will be delivered on Tuesday

The plot thickens.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bass-Guitar/224410865051?_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20180213162448%26meid%3D1f8bdc30a1fd40298c2824305cda1136%26pid%3D100930%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D224392555738%26itm%3D224410865051%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2332490%26algv%3DDefaultOrganic%26brand%3DFender&_trksid=p2332490.c100930.m5375

Posted elsewhere but I hot-rodded by PB20-SBK with SD Quarter Pound pickups and a Gotoh bridge as well as a Ki0gon loom.

A bit of Sabbath to wake up the neighbours ...

Cue the puns .... !! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bass-guitar/224392555738?hash=item343ed6acda:g:3wsAAOSwP6FgVOFQ
