Hi Ron. I'll have a look around, to see if I can find something suitable. It's compact & lightweight, and the gigbag / case is pretty good However, protecting an acoustic instrument from being thrown around etc is my worry. I recently ordered a freezer - just in time for Xmas.... but it arrived in a rather battered state! Pieces falling out everywhere! If they can destroy something mostly made of metal... you get my drift. Anyhow, I'll have a scout around, see if I can find something suitable/ sturdy enough. It's a crying shame this isn't being used. If I hadn't acquired my beautifully made Jabba X-short scale, I'd have hung on to this. Cheers -

Wait a minute...... You mean I was supposed to actually use those 3 strings that aren't "E"? Well I never! 😉

Acoustic Image Upshot speaker for sale

I have an AI Doubleshot cab, and can confirm that they're a top quality manufacturer.... who have now sadly gone 😞 Before getting the Doubleshot, I was considering one of these. They don't come up too often, and will surely become more scarce. Ideal tiny cab, which is louder than you'd think. I don't know the seller btw - but have a bump for a great, compact cab. -

Not really - but might depend on what you're offering? One thing that springs to mind, is an EHX Mel9 pedal.

Another shout for the Bose S1 battery (or mains) powered PA here. I've had mine for several years now, and have used it for busking, and folk pub-jams. I also used it for a couple of small, acoustic gigs. It's loud for its size, and very portable. It also has 2 standard jack / mic inputs, and a mini-jack for MP3 players / phones etc. As has been mentioned - it ain't cheap, but much louder than the Micro Bass Cube. Quality build and sound though. Oh, and you can link them up if you have two (possibly more?).

I have a short scale (smaller than 30") which was built by Jabba. I didn't order or commission it - I got it used, on the marketplace on this forum. The bass is a thing of beauty. It's a really well crafted instrument of very high quality indeed. @Jabba_the_gut's work is of a consistently high level of quality when I see his builds on here.

Where can I get some decent bass sized straight edges?
Marc S replied to Marc S's topic in Repairs and Technical
Thanks for that @Reggaebass I had looked at screwfix - don't know how i didn't spot that. Looks like it would do for a non-notched edge anyway- 14 replies

As per my title - I'm looking for a couple of straight edges, suitable for bass. I've tried searching online and eBay, and despite including the word "bass" - the search comes back with guitar sized straight edges. Ideally, I need a notched 34" edge, but ideally I want a plain (non-notched) straight edge too. I've looked at Toolstation, but couldn't see anything suitable. Any links to known decent suppliers are very welcome. Happy New Year fellow BC'ers 😀
