Look closer... Especially at the mismatch between the headstock wood and the neck wood. And the nut area. Like the way the strings coming from the headstock don't line up with the ones passing over the nut. Photoshop job.

Not to point out the obvious, but you can measure whether it'll work for yourself: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1574/0577/files/5K500.PDF?8765090250675003951

What a board!

I've known many drummers worthy of such critique...

Shovel drums? So he's rigged a shovel up as a midi controller. Sounds much more impressive than it actually is...

It's only taken 11 pages... Different strokes for different folks I suppose! For a hard cutoff HPF like the Thumpinator, then 24dB is certainly more appropriate. For speaker sim 12dB is better, but might still be a little harsh for some applications.

No not maximum attenuation. -12dB per Octave. Every time you drop an octave (half the frequency) you're another 12dB down. Take the example of a -12dB/Octave HPF with a cutoff frequency of 200Hz (obviously high for bass guitar use, but just for illustration). At 100Hz the filter is cutting 12dB, at 50Hz it's cutting 24dB, at 25Hz it's cutting 36dB, and so on.

Uncommonly good!

An eBay auction is a strange way to do it... Social media maybe, but this is silly.

April fools day was yesterday...

The OP asked for suggestions in the rough range of an Ashdown 15 watt and an Ampeg 20 watt... and we're getting Markbass AC Combos and Quilter 800 watt rigs suggested... Brilliant... I'd suggest hunting for either a Roland Bass Cube 30 or a Line 6 Studio 110. Both great, both under a ton. Never played a V3 Rumble 100, but was very impressed with an earlier 100 watt rumble I played at a local practice room.

Neither did I for a long time!

I believe Jed is of the female persuasion actually. I don't believe she sells drilled enclosures separately. Neither does pedalparts. I can understand why when pedalparts do them app by manually. I'd rather scratch my eyes out than sit drilling pedal enclosures! I've not found anywhere in the UK that does it. Musikding in Germany do, although the options are somewhat limited.

Good tip, and easily done!

Nice!

Pics or it didn't happen!

Good tips! Thanks! Edit: do I need to worry about the tackiness of the tape if I'm applying to clear coats of nitro around the headstock face? Edit 2: Is buffing essential for the aged type of finish I'm going for? Sanding to a really fine grit I get, but I'm not going for a polished look overall!

Yup I'll be borrowing a proper respirator from my father and setting up a temporary spray booth in our sunroom, so plenty of ventilation. Edit: and waiting for warmer weather than we currently are having!

I have assembled 90% of the parts for a 60s-esque P(+J)-bass - jazz pickup, wiring harness, neck plate and screws are all I'm really missing. I have an unfinished alder body and rosewood boarded maple neck. I've a rough idea what things I should be doing, and in what order I should be doing them, but want a few opinions from the more experienced amongst us just to make sure! What I'm looking for is an aged, but not reliced finish in Ocean Turquoise with matching headstock. Beyond attempting some checking and maybe a light tarnish on hardware I won't be hitting it with a hammer, or a bunch of keys, or dragging it up my driveway, or intentionally adding bucklerash, or wearing a sandpaper bracelet, or whatever folks do to these things... For the body my initial thoughts are undercoat, numerous coats of ocean turquoise, light coat or 2 of amber to add an aged look, clear coat. For the neck numerous clear coats all over (except the face of the fingerboard obviously!), mask off headstock sides, numerous coats of turquoise to headstock face, light coat or 2 of amber all over, clear coat. I don't plan on adding a decal - thinking a ferric chloride etched pcb plate for the headstock as something a little different, being an electronic engineer! How does that sound? Anything else/different I should be considering doing?

As a former Wal owner, and given how you're using your Wal at the minute, I'd agree with the P-bass suggestions. A nice classic 50's or Roadworn P. I'd keep the Wal though - tastes and requirements change!

Yes, now with @Gareth Hughes and I think he likes it!
