There's an idea, I might bring my home-brew Erbauer drill battery powered pedal board.

Its a very nice briefcase sized setup. On my growing list of things to build. Right after I fix my blown-up Headrush 112 and replacing the tweeters in an Omni 10.5 

 

Now I think about it, I may pick @Mottlefeeder's brains as to what to replace whatever it's blown up with.

I too will take a look. A good battery powered bass amp has so far been out of my grasp. I have a Roland Cube Street Ex for my piano accordion & synth but it doesn't do the low end well enough for my jazz or my bass uke, and it's no good at all for my upright. The best I've managed so far is an Orange Crush-B with a Jackery camping power pack - but I'd rather not have mains leads playing outdoors.

Prepaid, hopefully...

 

See you soon!

The GSS Bulletpack runs on DC and has a barrel socket, so you have options with batteries meant for laptops. GSS also sell compatible batteries on their website, but I only own the amp. It's kept up with loud big bands in village halls but I've never used it outside.

 

If I am able to make this bash, I'll see if I can bring it along.

PM'd re PP

I have a 10" speaker and a couple of crossover circuits that someone kindly gave me at a previous bash to use to mend a PA top. I didn't need them in the end, and will never use them now, so if anyone wants then I can bring them.

I'll dig out the specs.

Now that's a great idea for something new at the Bass Bash

"Swap Shop Table".

The crossover might be of interest as I need to do an autopsy on my dead Headrush FR-112 and see what I can replace or salvage.  Perhaps I'll do an autopsy thread for it, an anti-build thread

[Richard R]

It appears that they are circuits from a SoundCraft PA unit and a StudioSpares Fortissimo 10" unit.  I didn't use them because it was the driver that was broken in my PA top, not the crossover as I thought.

They came from @Mottlefeeder in 2022 - no doubt he will avoid me all bash in case I try to give them back to him 😉

AKA "The Raffle"

[rwillett]

I like the idea of a swap shop.

 

Can I swap my cheap Ibanez GIO ultra shortscale for for a 62 Jazz please?

Why downgrade?

That made me laugh... Thankfully my coffee cup was on the desk so I didn;t spit it out over my nice keyboard.

 

I do actually really like my ultra short scale Ibanez. It looks like it was used on a building site as a shovel, and may well have been, but it plays well, it sounds great and is a little unusual.
