In a world of first rate Basschatters Tom still stands out. Bought a Squire bass from him and he was a pleasure to deal with, honest, courteous, prompt, and did the best courier proof packaging job I've ever seen. Deal with absolute confidence.

Lost My Treble is rather appropriately the teaser track on BC https://vulfpeck.bandcamp.com/

I used to be such a snob when writing and performing my own songs, such a sense of ludicrous superiority over musicians and their audience for daring to enjoy what they enjoy. I'm so glad I grew out of it

Finally. We had an audience. Began to wonder if this band I joined ever played anywhere other than empty pubs! Blue Lagoon in Bristol. Great venue, people dancing from the first song, mixed crowd of all ages, happy and up for fun. Great thing about having a crowd up and dancing is it gives you chance to assess your set. It's a fairly new set and nice to know what works and what doesn't. Played my trusty Trace through two MB 1 X 15 cabs and got a compliment on my sound. Which is always a bonus.

Knowing how utterly debilitating depression can be I have nothing but respect for your determination and dedication. To get yourself where you are is tough enough, to do it in the teeth of such a viscous illness is unimaginably difficult.

I was an ambitious drunken insecure lecherous 20 year old convinced that one day I'd be, if not famous, then at least in a famous band. I loved my Lambretta, my drinking and music buddies and had just converted from guitar to bass. Now, 35 years on I am enjoying a renaissance. I have a greater love for music than ever before, play in multiple bands, am actually taking lessons, and learning to read music. Never became famous, did become a hopeless alcoholic. Since losing everything last year from my mental health to my income, home, and marriage, I was given the gift of desperation. I found AA and a new path to happiness, serenity and acceptance. For the first time ever in the years since I was 20 I wake up and look forward to my day which starts and usually ends with me picking up a bass guitar.

Well this is feckin' awesome https://vulf.bandcamp.com/album/the-fearless-flyers

Spare a thought for those of us who literally had never heard of Joe Dart until this morning! He does seem an extremely capable bass player I look forward to discovering more about him. Favourite recordings, clips, transcriptions anyone?

Never heard of Vulfpeck until reading this thread. Wonderful stuff, thank you.

Wonderful article from a genuine artist explaining his personal experience eloquently and articulately. There doesn't really appear to be anything to agree with or disagree with. He is describing what has happened to him on his own musical journey. He isn't saying it should happen to me too.

Pm'd. Thank you.

Not dual impedance, but I shall take the ply order off hold! Thanks for all your help Phil, I'll keep you posted.

@Phil Starr If my maths work the interior of the cab the two 10s came from is just shy of 64 litres.

It's the album which got me into them and is still a favourite. I then went back to 77 and filled in with all those amazing albums.

Thanks for sharing this. TW is mesmerising. The embodiment of understated elegance in bass form.

I'll tell her it was your fault then shall I? 😂

Just returned after a pleasant drive through the Cotswolds to conduct a deal with our very own @fleabag. Pete is an extremely decent chap, a pleasure to deal with, and an excellent host. Had a cuppa, a noodle on an absolute stunner of a bass and returned with a Trace Elliot cab which I purchased for a very reasonable price. Oh and he's a pretty bloody good photographer too. How I escaped without a TE 4X10 combo I have literally no idea. My back thanks you for not encouraging me. Buy and sell from and to Pete with absolute confidence.

Thanks Phil. The 2 10s came from an Epifani cab which I still have. I'll get the tape measure to it shortly, and let you know the results.

That is a great idea, thank you.

Thanks Phil. I was planning on building the cab demonstrated at the SW Bash. The speakers are from a bass cab which was too darned awkward and heavy to lift comfortably so I thought I'd take it to bits it and use the parts. Maybe not such a great idea. Would the dimensions of the original cab tell me anything useful regarding what size two small cabs ought to be?
