Just packing mine up for tonights gig, the audience love it almost as much as me

If you like

Cheers Maude Yes the black foam board was from Hobby Craft, the foam blocks could just be made from washing up sponge really! Now with its matching cover [URL=http://s997.photobucket.com/user/stingraypete/media/20130810_163953_zps58321a25.jpg.html][IMG]http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/af100/stingraypete/20130810_163953_zps58321a25.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Cover it in stickers?

Check out my blocking F holes thread! Hopefully they will solve my issues. I have messed about with the Fishman but I am not great with EQ settings as a rule My version of the Fishman does not have a notch filter afaik? only the phase switch and the EQ settings.

A seperate Class D head is a winner IMO, you can take the head anywhere if you can beg a cab for the show, get a small 2x10 cab for gigs that can only be reached by train etc with no cab to use onsite, then get a big cab (4x10, 2x12, 8x10 or whatever) for the gigs you can drive to.

Ok here we go, made a rubbing of the bass F hole.....

Well I have been to Hobby Craft! pictures coming up later..........

I think its just that you can see the horns very well, Status S2 still imo.

[quote name='alistair Sutcliffe' timestamp='1376084001' post='2169677'] Put it in a bin bag first? [/quote]very clever, I'm going to be busy.

Hey I must be learning, I never really notice Statii either, damn tinternet loading my brain with bass images!

Can you get matt black beach balls?

Or Status? Edit for Status S2 headed?

Kind of Clover but probably not.

From what you said I knew it was going to be no power as such rather than a blown preamp, dodgy jack gives the same result as it does not connect the battery but does connect in a fashion to the controls still, cool.

Thats all good then

[quote name='keeponehandloose' timestamp='1376080756' post='2169627'] give it a try on the bassbar side [/quote] That was where I noticed the air coming from even when I was not playing, must have been a sub frequency playing on its own, I shoved the foam in and it was lots better, the treble side did not make much difference thinking about it. I might make some F hole plugs and try again next practice armed with a tennis ball too

I guess that makes sense as its my carved top that is vibrating in unison with everything else? the ball would stop the top resonating so much, worth a shot, ta

Make sure the new owner does not use those stupid leads with the springy thing on, or in fact it would make more sense if you did before, it will bugger the jack socket and only work with that lead after. I have seen one where it works OK with a planet waves lead but not with a normal tip, it gave similar results?

[center]Im presuming put it in and blow it up?[/center]

Intrigued, go on....

Haha your hooked!

Cheers that's all useful, I have just been looking at home made velcro f hole covers too.

This thread has really got my intrest, I'm pretty sure this is my only option too, already got a fishman and a bassmax.

Might have a look at mag pickups then, also I might try putting the fishman into the pa so the cabs are out in front, I wonder if my bass has a particularly resonant top?
