What exactly is the aim here? It's not exactly hard to find a picture of a bass you don't own and chop in a postcard under strings and over headstock.

Ever heard of photoshop?

Be aware that side by side rigs will damp the low end from the working one.

Myth that will never die. If the PA sound out front is EQ'd to the room the cab sound will only require minimal tweakage. Requires the band to have a good stage mix of their own sounds. That is what pro bands do. It is far easier to EQ the PA to the room than EQ every channel to the room. I get really tired of being told my E string is boomy when we play the town hall. The bloody hall is boomy. It rings like a bell at 80hz.

Any idea how some radio stations get away with so much more loudness than others?

Define pro gig. One would hope that any gig that required a mic on bass cab would have paid sound crew doing it. Never mind the band of wannabe pro musicians.1 I guess it shows you don't need to get paid very much to call yourself professional sound crew and not all pro gigs are equal. In case of OP I am not too sure but I think he is used to being paid? Perhaps the folks that comment on his FB feed are mere wannabes who only get volunteers for sound crew.

It is music intended for the AM radio of old, and old playback systems that sub frequencies only gave problems. Modern stuff on FM seems to get my sub going.

Maybe you could switch mode the input supply but sfa to be done about the output transformer. It would take a big lump of transformer out of the equation that says it's too heavy to bother with but it would still be blimmin' heavy.

To watt end?

That's fair. But what do you call a backup to the backup? Asking for a friend.

The DBS stuff was new when I was shopping for my for my first real amp. My mentor had a Jubilee which was an absolute monster, when it was working, which it wasn't far too often so I got the Trace Elliot.

I don't know what you are doing with such a big cab when getting PA support. You may as well DI it as the cab reproduces flat enough that the DI would likely be closer to the cab sound than best mic job you could do.

80hz is the home of thump. Your chest has a natural resonance around there. I don't think it is coincidence the harmonic of a low E is also living there.

Thermoplastic beadstock. Painful to work with but persistence solves problems multivariate.

If mixing and matching I am so far into the cetera zone it isn't funny. One cab I can leave outside a venue unattended with no concern anyone will flog it. It's not worth the trouble to sell. I was going to donate it to the community centre so I would have a cab there, but they did not want it.

Ear cartilage keeps growing so you could find a new set needed.

I use the Flare ones. Metal plus replaceable foam plug tips. They send you a starter pack so you find your size tip for future orders. They are fairly flat and a big step up from foam. They live on my key ring. Being never without is great. I expect the custom ACS would be even better. It's not uncommon for bassists in your position to go the route of a personal IEM mixer system with a room mic blend to your bass. It should be a better mix than what you get standing next to the drums.

In the sense that it holds the air in, the driver in one place, and your amp up, too bloody right it is structural! Bonus points for keeping the outside world from breaking it. That's the bit it is not good at, because point loads.

And how much do you want to pay? A BF cabinet could possibly be made for the same price if the internals were replaced by composites, but unlikely. It would be a phaff to do and be a whole lot more nasty fumes to have around the workshop. I'd charge more for the minimal up lightnessing for sure.

Do a reverse Hendrix with it. I am sure Dad wouldn't mind.

I never heard of any combo amp that couldn't get max volume just by turning the knobs. I suppose there could be a HPF ( high pass filter ) in the jam gizmo that is more effective than than the amp's own one. Is it letting you twist the knobs more?

I hope your finger tip knows how important it is and grabs back on. Keep up the happy thoughts for best results. I wouldn't be rodgering it about by attempting to play in the meantime.

Yep. If anything it might get less capable."Louder at low vol" could be like the "loudness" button on your parents' old stereo. Boosting the low end to account for lack of hearing sensitivity to lows at low volume would cause a problem for the combo at higher volume. What you need is a bigger amp.

I think I probably posted about that earlier in this thread. One room blooms luscious bass so well the HPF has to go right up. Pack down and go to another room and it's insipid until HPF put back.

Play about raising the HPF until it sounds like it is missing something. Back it off until it isn't. It's working. You should find that the bass control on the amp now behaves a little differently. You can bring it up with no ill effect instead of causing speaker to flap. It may be that an extra bit of HPF can work with significant bass boost to tailor a much more full low end.
