I think I had a full sheet cut into four, one is going to be a sprayt booth, I built two cabs and I have one quarter uncut, so I could make a 3rd 8" speaker OR a 6" House Jam or I could just leave it in the garage to rot away So I think 1220 x 1220 is half a 8" x 4" ft sheet so you should get two out of them. If you do cut them yourself, then I would change one or two dimensions by 2mm or so. It makes zero difference to the volume but makes cutting a little easier. There's something on this in the thread where I discussed it. Basically make the sides 276mm wide rather than 274mm wide, and the top/bottom 276mm rather than 274mm. This extra 2mm should be at the front of the cab and so the volume doesn't change but the 'lip' sticks out 2mm longer. Just easier to cut and thats the only difference. You get an extra 2mm to drop a grill in as well, but thats negligible. My second cab is cut that way from memory,

They sound quite nice as well. I've had zero chance to wind them up due to various things, it'll probably be the weekend before I can try.

I was planning to do an hour or so talk about 3d design and 3d printing at the Bash. A few people have expressed a slight interest. For those of you who remember the village hall in Clapham, there is a little room adjacent to the kitchen, and I would use that. Is this of interest to other people? If so, what would people like to know about? I can't design and print a bass in an hour but I can talk through the basics and explain what works and what doesn't. It's easy enough to bring a 3d printer over and I can make the session interactive. Perhaps show how to design a simple pickup cover, or a volume control or something. Just throwing this out there for feedback and comments (good and bad). Thanks Rob

Ampeg Rocket Bass RB-108 - Excellent Condition £70
rwillett posted a topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Now reduced to £70. I now seem to have a surplus of amps, I've just got a valve Laney LC15R for guitar, both my Basschat 8" icabs are finished and I do have a large bass bin in the garage. This means I need to start to reduce some of the stuff I don't really use. So I'm looking to pass the Ampeg RB-108 on. Brought two years ago from Promenade Music in Morecombe, never been gigged (sadly), never really been played loud to be honest It's solid state, 30 watts and sounds great with both bass and guitar, just turn the bass EQ down a bit for guitar It's a great practise amp, perhaps junior or juniorita might need a nice (and cheap) practise amp for their new bass they got for Xmas. Details from the website: Power: 30 watts @ 4 ohms Speaker: 1x 8" Ampeg Controls: Volume, Preamp with 3 band EQ SGT overdrive switch (Super Grit Technology) Inputs: 6.3 mm jack input 0 dB and 6.3 mm jack input -15dB, aux in Headphone out Dimensions: 433 x 411 x 306 mm Weight: 10.5 kg It's in excellent condition. There is a tiny blemish on one side which is noted in one of the pictures below. That's the only issue and the rest is as-new state. It comes in the original and undamaged box, however I do not have the polystyrene bits that go around it and given the weight and price, postage could be a right hassle. I live near Settle in North Yorkshire and you are welcome to come and try it, and I'll throw in as much tea and chocolate biscuits as you can handle. I often work in Manchester so anything around the M6 down to Manchester/Liverpool is an option for delivery, as is Skipton to the South East and Penrith to the North. Sheffield is also a possibility as I can work there if needed. Interesting trades are welcome with cash either way. However I seem to have a number of guitars, basses, amps (hence I'm selling this) and modellers. I am looking for a interesting decent (but not a dreadnought) quality acoustic, preferably with built in pickups. Something like an Auden or similar, yes I know the cash would be significant coming from me You can just see the blemish here-

Agreed, I did like the Lego look, but the black is cooler.

One of the joys of having a 3D printer is being able to change things quickly. One of the perils of photographing black is photos look crap. Changed all the corners and ports from red to black. From the back And the top. The corners re black but due to flash have come out gray And of course they can be run side by side. A nice modular system. How's it sound, no real idea as work, dog walking and other stuff have foiled any attempt to fire them up in anger I also now have two red ports and a black port now spare. They have a foam gasket for sealing purposes applied and use M3 bolts. Let me know if anybody wants them. Rob

Native Instruments in preliminary insolvency ...

It takes some people ten years to become an overnight success... Agree with all you have said in your larger post. My day job has nothing to do with music, music is a hobby to help me do something different from resolving complex IT and management issues. It's cheaper than Astrophotography so I reckon thats a bonus Rob -
And here's some pictures. The two cabs stack very nicely on top of each other. However they are only loosely connected through the rubber feet on the bottom and the holes in the corners. You're not going to knock them over without a push, but a drunken punter would easily push them down. The bottom one looks nicer than the top one as it's all black (IMO). I may retrofit the black corners onto the top one. The top one happens to have a Mod Dwarf on it and without that, would be the perfect place to place a pint. Still got to do a grill for the bottom one. Side angle and the rear. The handles are great., Easy to carry the whole cab with just one of them. And from the rear I'm quite pleased with how they have turned out. Even better when I can change the top Speakon panel and remove the gaskets. Work has got in the way all day today. Rob

Bring it down, I'll use the Mod Dwarf to act as a DSP, send one signal to one Gnome, and one to the other Gnome. I did think if I had the House Jam 6", use the Mod Dwarf as a filter so the bass signal goes to the 8" and a portion of the rest goes to the 6" speaker. The Mod Dwarf is acting as an active crossover here. No idea if it will work, but this is just the event to try these ideas out Rob

Well I'll be bringing two I have also worked out how to biamp them (if only I had another Warwick Gnome to use). Rob
-
Yes that's a sensible summary
-
The rubber gasket around the actual SpeakOn socket was the issue. It just moved the socket far enough away from the panel that the SpeakOn NL4 plug wouldn't work with the twist. The genuine NL2 Neutrik plug did work. Clearly I do not understand all the nuances around SpeakOn plugs and sockets but at least that problem has gone away. Sorry for the confusion. Rob
-
I think I know what the problem is. I put a small rubber gasket around each SpeakOn socket to reduce air loss. I think this has changed the distance from the plate to the socket enough to stop some plugs working. I'll pull the panel, remove the gasket and see if that works.
