Who’s Mark King again? Was he the fella in the Beatles, or is it U2?

Also relevant for the self build cabs discussed in a UK/EU forum... Faital 12pr320 - £129 (Blue Arran) Eminence Kappalite 3012LF - £199 (lean) plus you will need a mid driver...

There’s a whole thread...

Or not quite seamlessly, hence the topic...

Im guessing small workshops could use stronger glues in the 70s compared to now

Loops to you too!

I used to use my DIY clone of a Caitlinbread SFT for that kinda thing...

The Tattoo is completely different to Edinburgh International Festival and even The Edinburgh Fringe. The one you're thinking of, and preformed at would have probably have been the fringe. That tends to be big comedy gigs that make money and then everyone else spending money to put on their shows. I'm not sure if how many acts break even. Quality can vary. I spent £15 I didn't want to once while unemployed listening to a shite Londoner spend half an hour talk about erectile disfunction. I also had free shows in a cafe I ran that were really really good. The International is the orchestras, opera, comedy and more "high" culture type stuff. Usually at very high levels of quality. The end of festival fireworks is possibly the best fireworks display ever, set to live music. Tattoo is all the marching bands, the terraces by the castle and fireworks waking you up at about 11pm every night for a month. Tourists love it. They can probably afford to pay for musicians... even if it's not much once they shell out for august priced accommodation for the band!

I might be interested in the HB pre

Well if you want to swap it your stomp for my B3n I figure that will be bombproof ... and I’ll even buy you another one just to make sure!

Well it’s got chromes on now, and we live less than 30 miles from each other so if you want to compare or even borrow sometime for a wee bit ...

He’s a good guy I think. Seems to attract a band of haters on basschat when he posts but good to see that he keeps his eye on it here

So the answer is @owen - yes, just do it!

If that’s possible

Volume — tone — 4 way rotary switch with neck / both series with cap / both parallel / bridge

It’s going to help convince me to buy one though isn’t it? So I kinda have too!

dear god - are you going to go through every effect ever?

try it. I think it's been tuned to that pickup in the G&L though....

I think you might find it cheaper to pick your top 3 Warwick models and buy one of each secondhand than buy a new neck from Warwick....

Having played bass and ran the desk at a few different churches down the years, I would agree. You can set it all up in a school hall the hour before, or you can have an install using much higher range stuff than the gear we’re talking about in this thread ... and it makes no difference at all if the person behind the desk doesn’t know what they are doing. The main problem I see is that people (esp guys IME) approach it as a gear thing, spend hours and hours working out the gear, moan cos they could only afford desk X rather than desk Y, know all the ins and outs of if the K12 would be better than the RCF equivalent.... but have utterly no expectations that mixing is a skill like playing an instrument that takes skill, attention, some discipline and most of all ears to learn... anyway rant over

There’s several more variables in there than the quality of the PA!!!

I do wonder where all the old gear ends up. Like a few years back you couldn’t move on a bass forum for loads of Genz Benz stuff... but you rarely see it now. Old analogue stuff doesn’t really age and still does now what it did then, digital... well part of that is the curve of quality which (for me) has only got good enough in the last 5 years or so, and also cheaper screens meaning hopefully less mental UX

Mine or yours?
