Just off the cuff, would bike frame protection patches do the job? If you think they would then let me know what size patch you are looking for and I'll see what I have😁

A nice solution to mains power. I have used the myvolts ripchord 5v to 9v converter which works well but these are costlier so it's nice to come across a lower priced option.

You could look at the Headrush 108 and 112 8" and 12" frfr. They seem reasonably popular.

I am happy to help, I live just outside Lichfield, Staffordshire so could cover anywhere from Coventry to Cheshire (Holmes Chapel'ish).

You could also try Northwest Guitars site.

If you employ a 15" sub in the PA system to handle bass and kick drum could you then drop the tops down to units with 8" drivers? The reason for the question is I have seen a System by Thomman with just this configuration. The sub is powered giving around 200w rms to each component.

Love it👍

Being cheeky, if you are going to PMT then look at the HH powered 12" which they have at around £175 and also the same model in 15" at around £190. These have a 200w output (RMS) apparently. I'd be interested in your thoughts.

Re pricing, the Studiomaster Drive 12 can be found for around £199 each which is £100 + per speaker less than the RCF's (which I was also looking at). They are rated at 310w RMS as well. Jack's comment was also one I considered, found a Gemini GX5000 power amp for around £180, and passive tops from whoever to suit (£99 upwards from Gear4Music and others).

I wish you the very best of luck sir.

I'm looking at a similar solution using Studiomaster 12" active PA speakers. Cannot think of why it would not work based on having put a bass through a single powered 12" before, and also miking up the bass skin on a set of drum flats for open mike nights through same, both worked successfully.

I would have thought that as your daughter neeeeeeeeeeds a bass and the Farida is the only one in the house then your case for purchasing Karlfers P Bass has already been formed😁

Good news, hope the show went well.

I had a similar problem that turned out to be a loose jack socket as Bunion suggested. Tightened it up and the cutting out and 'scratching' noise went away. The socket in question was the locking locking type mounted on the edge of the bass.

Put a post in the 'Items Wanted section of the classifieds Chris.

That looks really really nice Mr Chowny👍

The last set of 'short scale' flats I purchased (Rotosound 77's) were for a 30" scale length and I had to scrape away the windings on the one string when fitting to my 30.5" short scale. Rotosounds 'medium scale' set fitted my 30" scale through body strung bass. Check the manufacturers spec it is normally stated, but would suggest you are looking at 'medium scale' from most manufacturers for a 31" scale length.

+1 for the Hercules neck support.

I found this information on chairs on the internet, American but it does give max weight details: 8 Best Guitar Stools Reviewed in Detail [Mar. 2022] (primesound.org) https://primesound.org/best-guitar/stool/ Apologies if the link does not work directly but the address is correct.

A terrific lòoking bass, nice one WnterMute.

There is Neon Studios in Burntwood just a few miles outside Lichfield, 01543 677012. They have around 11 rehearsal rooms and our band use it. It's also just up the road from me so you would be most welcome to pop in for a cuppa S&J Music in Lichfield do have a studio but it would only fit about 4 people in comfortably, 5 at a push.

Looks like a nice little unit stewblack.

Congratulations in advance regarding your impending fatherhood. I do not know of a 70's Precision being available but keep watching the classifieds and it might be worth putting your request in the wanted section os said classifieds. I hope everything goes well.
