I considered that, but worked out that I could make a cab around 34l from one sheet of 1220x610 ply. Sides and front/rear 445 x 305, top and bottom 330 x 305 (actually 329x305), inset the front panel 20mm giving internal dimensions of 445 x 305 x 261. 35.4l initial volume, 0.76l for speaker, 0.46l for ports, about 0.5l for battens and so on = 33.68l. £16 for the plywood, I think I have everything else except a cab handle, corners, and a connector plate.

New Instrument 1 day. After the Artiphon Orba got mentioned in here, I went onto the website and the Instrument 1 fascinated me - a MIDI controller that can be picked/strummed, tapped, bowed, and drummed - one came up on Ebay and I bid and won it, then the seller cancelled the sale as "item lost or damaged", then a few weeks later it reappeared for £50 more, then increased to £30 more than that [1]. And then I saw one on FB Marketplace for £30 less than I'd theoretically won the other one for, so I bought that. I have had a small play with it - took a little while to sort it out as it had been set to send multichannel MIDI which I didn't realise until I plugged it in to MIDI-OX. I have yet to explore all its ramifications. It has built-in speakers but not built-in sounds - it acts as a USB MIDI controller and also a USB soundcard. There's an editor for Windows/Mac and an app for iOS, nothing guaranteed for Android. [1] I messaged him and offered him my original winning (and only) bid. He said he was running the auction to the end. No bids yet.

Not joining Pink Floyd. I mean, it would have been nice to have been asked. Alternatively, a few bandless years after being very disillusioned by a singer/guitarist with a huge ego. I just couldn't summon up the will to find another band for some years.

I'm completely at a loss as to what you're driving at. Could you be less cryptic? WinISD tells me that two 68mm ports just under 20cm long will do the job, Bill Fitzyoda confirms that, you seem to want me to acquire materiel that I don't need for no apparent gain.

Got 15 miles down the road and decided that a 250 mile round trip in these conditions was asking for trouble so mission aborted, unfortunately.

That's rather my point, I've got the best part of 2m of 68mm pipe left over from building the micro cab and using 40cm or so on a pair of ports would make me feel less wasteful. And I've got a 68mm hole saw.

Was it 12V?

Myvolt do do a PSU for the Iso-2 https://myvolts.co.uk/product/50970/UK_12V_Power_Adaptor_for_the_Harley_Benton_PowerPlant_ISO-2_Pro_Isolated_Power_Supply_by_myVolts This is centre positive - I suspect that they will also supply a polarity reverser.
-
Centre positive.
-
No, it takes a centre positive plug and turns it into a centre negative plug, which is what you want.
-
Would a pair of 68mm ports do as well? I'd like to use materials at hand as much as possible.
-
Plan B - get a centre positive power supply and https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201485015842

I've got a TGI Extreme gigbag https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/210422368434025--tgi-extreme-electric-guitar-gigbag which fits it nicely. Also worth looking at is the Thomann guitar premium gigbag https://www.thomann.de/gb/thomann_premium_gigbag_eguitar_br.htm - especially if you've done the strap button mod placing the strap button further round the body.

It's the Mk 1 - https://support.akaipro.com/en/support/solutions/articles/69000824384-akai-pro-lpk25-mk2-frequently-asked-questions For someone like me who can just about play a few chords on a keyboard, it's fine.

I found exactly the same with the HX Stomp - with cab sims, chorus was inaudible, without them it was clear.

The most recent excessively sensitive band member was about four years ago, and was the drummer. The guitarist/vocalist was doing a post-gig critique at the next rehearsal, and mentioned the speed of one of the songs (he'd also mentioned where he'd c0cked up and where I had), at which the drummer took umbrage, packed up, and departed. The last few bands I've been in haven't had any sensitive souls, which is just as well, as my social skills are extremely lacking and I'll point out mistakes (and confess to my own).

Thomann selling Harley Benton basses as 'Decoration only'
tauzero replied to Annoying Twit's topic in Bass Guitars
I bought an electroacoustic classical guitar and a fretless 5-string electroacoustic bass. Can't find any fault with them. -
I'm tempted to put a cab together that's intermediate between the 6" micro cab and the BC 112 Mk3. I was thinking of the 8" cab, but I realised I've got a Deltalite II 2510 upstairs and I wondered about building a 1x10 tweeterless cab with not dissimilar dimensions to the 8" cab, using the Deltalite and the 68mm pipe I have knocking about in the shed after the 6" cab build. I plugged the Deltalite parameters into WinISD (found on TB, all the others fail internal consistency) and a 25l box tuned to 50Hz with a 12.4 cm long port looks as if it would work. Would this be a sensible path to pursue? @Phil Starr, @stevie?

You'll also see it described as stereo jack to XLR. Tip-ring-sleeve jack, with (I think) tip to +, ring to -, sleeve to common/ground. Allows you to use balanced cables with jack connectors.
