Seconded!

The vid was quite pixilated - at least when I watched it.  Great for privacy by not so good for oggling instruments 😀

Sadly at the mercy of the phone reception at the time...it was a Live Chat broadcast, not a long form video for editing.

All that the 'new' plans do is make the cutting slightly easier. @Bassybert will add them to the official plans but here's my cutting pattern anyway. This is in Fusion 360, I'll work out how to get it into a form that's usable beyond a screen grab. I just made the two sides and the top and bottom 276mm. Not sure if your cutting device will handle 24mm of plywood. If not, then do each panel individually. 

As you have already found, the batterns are the same size as before.

 

 

 

It has rained here for two weeks pretty much non stop, not heavy but enough to stop outside work. Its also forecast for another week, until Sunday

The saw sled is the width rather than the length of the panel - I think it would work doing cuts 3 and 4 first, then stacking the middle and right-hand pieces (I suspect the circular saw might baulk at 36mm).

If anyone wants to build the 8" design it is here. It works as it is but we are tweeking the design by a couple of mm to make panel cutting a bit easier. the designs should be tweaked in the next few days.

 

Heaven knows how BassChat chose a pic of a different cab to show

 

 

 

How peculiar the photo is my tiny 4x4 combo!

attacking the plywood with the circular

…sounds like a particularly saucy euphemism! 🫢😳😲

I nearly forgot to mention @Phil Starr bass cab shootout / blind test

Not only was it interesting but quite jaw dropping actually

Who knew a 1x8 could sound so full, so much so it's my next project to do

Nice one Phil

Number one (the 8") stood out, I thought, as having a nice top end but without sacrificing the bottom end (6 was pretty good too) I thought it would be a 10" or 12".

Here's me (and the lovely Di) when I paid the swag over this morning!

 

Thanks to everyone!

 

 

[neepheid]

Well, I'm a plum.  I wrote a "I got home for reals this time" message yesterday, then forgot to hit the submit button.  D'oh!

 

TL:DR I got home safe

Here's Mike Brooks interviewing Matt Gleeson about his pickups.

And Brooksy demonstrating the same. Matt brought a selection of basses (here in the background) and discussed the qualities of the different types. Interesting stuff.

Later in the day, we heard from Chris Childs - once again ably interviewed by Brooksy. This was a fascinating insight into the world of the professional bass player.

Nick trying out a relic'd G&L, which attracted some interest.

A couple of bass players chewing the cud. 

 

 

[stevie]

Chris Childs trying out @rwillett's printed headless bass through a Monaco stack - watched closely by Mike Brooks.

 

Look out for a video review of the LFSys Monaco and Goodwood on Mike's excellent YouTube channel Brooksy's Bass Corner. It should be out any time now (he doesn't hang about).

@Chimike testing his Ampeg 12-watter through an LFSys Goodwood. "Not loud enough" was the verdict.
