I'm in! The only thing is that these Bashes are normally held on a Sunday. A church or church hall might not therefore be the most suitable venue.

There seems to be plenty of interest in this part of the world. All we need is an organiser.

Bookmarked to watch later.

The Sade track is well recorded and I listen for a few, specific things. Is the voice deep enough or is it thin? Can you make out the separate pitches of the bongos or do they sound the same. Are the backing vocals clear or do they merge into the background? Does the bass sound like a Stingray or just any old bass? Does the kick drum have impact? And so on.

@scrumpymike You buying?😁

That's not a bad idea, although it would have to be a half as most of us have a long drive home.

What a great feature set on that amp. I particularly like the adjustable highpass filter, which I don't think anyone else does. My current favourite amp is one of @BassAdder60's cast-offs, the Trace Elliot TE1200. If the Mesa is better than that, it must be amazing.

I bought one of those as a backup because the price was just ridiculous. It works fine, except that you can't use it for rebates because the depth setting doesn't lock properly. It's fine for trimming and cutting holes. And, as you say, it's much easier to use that a full-size router.

It's always heartening to see Basschatters rolling their own. It's surprising how easy it can be to show many commercial boxes a clean pair of heels. Nice job.

Excellent.

Nice, very helpful drawings, but..... - the dimensions are miniscule and really difficult to read, - changing the 274mm dimension to 276mm wouldn't alter the design but would greatly simplify cutting.

I'm looking forward to the SW Bash already. You'd be very welcome to give the Monaco a good test, @MichaelDean.

Punchier than the Ashdown RM800?

Just got to say - open-air busking in Edinburgh in the summer is my idea of heaven.😀

This thread is worth a browse:

My problem with plastic cabs is that, while they sound OK with full-range music, when you only have bass going throught them, they sound like you're playing in a bucket. I'd expect the effect to be much less evident with a smaller cab like this one. I strongly suspect that the dip in the FR at 1k5 is a cabinet artefact, which will disappear off axis. So, I wouldn't worry too much about correcting it.

I thought it probably had. No worries. It was good of you to make the offer.

pm'd (a week ago). Aherrrm.

This looks very interesting. I'll definitely be watching it this evening.

I'll let Bill comment on this. 😁

It could be 3 ohms impedance but it's also possible that it's 8 and that part of the number has rubbed off.
