Well, my youngest plays drums, and the middle one has just started teaching himself guitar, so the three of them were jamming the other night! Basic, but they were making music! 👌

A couple of months ago, my eldest son was just starting his BTEC music course at high school, but didn't at that point play an instrument, so he needed to choose something..... Being a super cool kid, he obviously chose bass! 😅👌🥳❤️ He's just turned 15, what a great age to start! (I was 14) I was going to sell this cool little Ibanez GAXB150, but I gifted it to him instead. 😉 Some of his best pals are on the course too, and they've got a band going already, and have been super committed, and working hard to get where they want to be. They've even got their first performance at school next week! He's loving old school thrash metal, so we're off to see Anthrax this week too! 🤘😎 Happy times!

Thanks! It looks kinda different in that evening sunlight, this is probably a truer representation

Hey guys! Finally finished yesterday and gigged last night! Really pleased with how it turned out, and it plays and sounds fab! Lighter than my BBN5 too 😊👌

Hi guys, I know I was tentative anyway, but I'm currently nuts deep in a kitchen renovation, so I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to make it tomorrow 😒 Maybe next time! Hope it goes well 👌

Finished my little project on the BB405 😊👌

Tried them, and for me they didn't live up to the hype, certainly didn't fulfill the bold claims Alex makes. Your experience may vary. If I were in your position, I'd be looking at GR Bass if in budget, if not the newer super lightweight Markbass cabs.

Got insulation done this evening, and the LaVoce fitted, sounding good so far! Thanks for all your help guys 🙏

Thanks very much! I did wonder about spray glue, but was trying to avoid it 😅🥴 Probably the best option though.

Hey folks! 👋 😁 Finally, Blue Aran have the La Voce back in stock, so I've ordered it today! Couple of questions though: 1) should I fix it via the screw holes in the surround, or use the original TE clamp system that's holding the original speaker in? Any pros/cons either way? 2) I've bought some wadding to insulate the cab, is there a preferred method of fixing it in? Staple gun? Hot glue gun? Thanks! 😊🙏

Okay, thanks guys. I believe the £135 threshold to be correct, as stated on the gov website, but you're right that some vendors seem to add duty at checkout and some don't. https://www.gov.uk/goods-sent-from-abroad/tax-and-duty I think it'll work out costing me the same or more from abroad if the duty isn't added to the checkout price (which it doesn't look to be). Yay Brexit... 😒

Hi folks, apologies if this has already been asked, I did a search but didn't turn anything up. Am I right in thinking that if buying anything from Europe over £135, VAT isn't added at checkout and you need to pay it to the delivery company once it's in the UK? I'm looking at an amp, some good prices in Europe, but if the above is correct it's not such a good deal.... Thanks, Oli

Exactly what I thought! 😅 Doing some further experiments at the moment. It is kinda surf greeny, which isn't a bad thing necessarily

It's the one I pictured further up the thread, Littlefairs Beach Hut Green

Hmm... This stain came yesterday, didn't look like the product pictures... It's more like watered down paint! This is 3 coats on a test piece of poplar. It's not what I was expecting, but kinda cool? Can't decide if I like it or not.... Will get a couple of coats of Polyx over it and see what it looks like.
