I’ve got them - they don’t put on that much pressure - good for somethings but not amazing

Interesting - I knew it had come out but hadn’t heard anything much about that amp

On a passive bass the pickups, volume and tone controls AND the input stage of an amp and it’s impedance are part of the same tone generating system- so yes an amp can have an effect on how the tone control works

FYI you've got wee flags on the languages section of that page - we stopped using that version of the Union flag in 1801 ...

I quite like @warwickhunt's solution of having two 2x10 cabs stacked vertically

and..... you're buying a new car?

? Huh - why’s that?

While agree with everything you said the resonant peak knob is boost only on the EQ-01 as far as I remember.

@attackbass is a pro player who I think uses that amp - he might have experience RE: overheating and reliability

I bought a bass off Andy once - he’s got impeccable taste in bass colours too

Internet land is like that though - very quick to say that the quality level the commenter uses is minimum and anything less than that is not good enough. Partly cos it’s full of massive gear nerds, partly cos people are self justifying their own decisions and also because it’s never been disproved that the more you spend on gear the better player you become playing more interesting and attractive to your peers music...

Fixed it for you. I owned the B3, the B3n and now the HX Stomp - you can gig the Zoom stuff no probs

@JakeBrownBass I live in Farsley and just finished one ... seeing I could walk to Bradford in half an hour I figure I’m closest!

New grill on - lots more staples used, as good as it’s going to be. its actually held in by the thickness of the staples at the moment - I think if I used the squidgy tape that seals behind the speaker and horn (brain dead at moment, what’s it called??) To kill rattles then Velcro would be optional. Also in shot is the banister!

Yeah - the biggest difference is the 5 string, on the other cab ADG sounded warm and full and BE boomy and fat. With the BCCab it’s consistent up the neck and string to string - and takes EQ very well

So plugged in and stuck the Walkabout through it for about 45 min. firstly it works! so how does it sound? well I started off with my Sadowsky jazz - any my first thought was “I’m glad I stuck a new set of strings on my Christmas list as these are on their way out” - it sounded clear and balanced, none of the low mid hump that my Walkabout cab has. Turning up the bass boost it takes low end really well. Switching to the bridge pickup... erm well the lights downstairs make the pickups hum so that was really really clearly amplified. so far so hmmm ... it’s not blowing my socks off - and I really need new strings - but then the penny dropped that it’s not doing anything but reproduce what goes in - and that’s the point! switching to a Warwick SS1 and the thing sounds bright and snappy - it sounds like the bass but in a really nice way. The bottom end on this bass is a bit lower than the typical fender style bass and there’s a lot going on in the high mids- through bad cabs the lack of low end and peaky high mids that sound amazing though a fender style suddenly start fighting this basses core tone - not a problem with this cab, the lows are there and the high mids aren’t hyped. It sounds good. next was my latest accidental acquisition- a Lakland 55-94 which is my first 5 string. Now this sounded nice, it took tweaks to the 3 band EQ very well too. Through the Walkabout cab this bass struggles - it’s baked in tone and the walkabouts baked in tone clash big time to the point where you can’t tell differences between pickup settings easily and both the E and B strings just don’t sound right somehow, like they are on a different bass... the BCCAB I can clearly hear the pickup selection differences - and all the strings sound like they are on the same bass - horrah! next, and the real test was back to the jazz and putting the HX stomp in the signal chain. And when it came to using cab models it excelled. why does this matter? Because typically I use the stomp straight to the PA with IEM, and having a rig that gets reasonably close to the PA will be invaluable for setting up patches! so after45 min I am well happy (though still need to sort my grill) - thanks @stevie for all your hard work

I think that there’s an idea of design where as a tool it being an effortless instrument is high quality and brilliant design. The fact that form follows function to simplicity is to my aesthetic taste a good thing - to distil something down so it looks simple and is effortless... ... I like your mouse!

Higher quality than the mouse! Wow

Yeah - it’s annoying stuff to work with. Going to leave it a few days and see what it does

Oh and the badge

Still to do - Velcro for the grill and also plugging it in... but just about to go away for the weekend!!!!
