I work in an FE college. The Perf Arts dept need a new PA. Theirs is a 2nd hand Studispares active bin and 12" top. About 12 years old. It is fair to say they have seen better days. The dance teacher does not understand the concept of restraint. I have reccomended a pair of RCF 745 for FOH. A pair of QSC K10.2 for monitors and a pair of QSC K8.2 for the singing teacher for backing tracks and teaching mic technique etc. Obviously I will be auditioning them all on the weekends. I blame this thread.

I also wonder about this. I have way too many and some that I will never play in anger but just like having them. But I am a bass tart and like every bass I pick up. I really like the idea of simplifying because as soon as I have options I get paralysed by choice. However, everything I buy is 2nd hand at the right price so buying and selling is esentially cost neutral and I could have MANY worse obsessions.

Episode 6, parts 1 and 2, with Don Powell, Slade's drummer is just very easy to listen to and smile inducing

€12,345 will be pennies when the UK sails into it's birthright of world domination.

Chew them off! Actually don't. But as HJ suggests, cover them in 2 layers of Super Glue and get on with the gig. At various times in the last 20 years my fingers have looked like that. A couple of coats of super glue and I am ready for the next set.

I have had 2 made. They did not do it for me. The resale was crippling. Lesson learnt.

Basschat. It does not have the answers to everything, but it has answers to lots of things

Our kitchen is oak so that would be an option.

Thanks everyone. I could do Danish Oil. I have actually done a bass in Danish Oil so I know what I am doing. This is unusual for me. Utile looks like it could be nice but depending on the plank (like all wood I guess). I have some Sapele (similar apparently) planks for handrails and they are a bit bland. Dunno. But I do appreciate the input though. The Epoxy thing looks interesting but for a 6ft table top it looks like a pretty specialist thing to do given the heating needed (according to YT) etc. Corian is nice, but it is not wood

Whoops!

He was due to tour with Steely Dan this summer. I believe the band were gutted about the cancellation. The bassist also plays keys/guitar/B Vox for Jamiroquai.

Obviously you will be hanging out in the build forum!

You are all my wood experts. I am aware that this is stretching the purpose of this sub-forum. I need a new kitchen table. I can get some chunky legs here https://www.thehairpinlegcompany.co.uk/products/box-section-trapizum?variant=31350000877702&gclid=CjwKCAjwyo36BRAXEiwA24CwGXc_Oi6fX0Doj4FnZPX1iQHAVqcF3TLxqkvkxr4Nl4fCZKSRfPFCYxoC_FoQAvD_BwE. This means I could get a top made of some nice wood. Not sure what yet. In a perfect world I would have a table which would be completely waterproof so that we would not have to faff with mats and stuff. Heatproof would be beyond fabulous but I suspect that is not to be. Is there anything I can put on it which will not make it look like plastic but will protect it?

Hi Malc, As you and I know, North Wales is where it is at! Hwyl, Owen

I made some wood shavings with my spokeshave to get our new firepit lit. I suspect I have reached the zenith of my woodworking career.

Don't worry. As we always say on Basschat Gold, less is more.

Scott Dixon ones are in the same price bracket (550 or make offer on Ebay, new) and are silver and shiny. I have a Scott Dixon pedal board and it is just a lovely piece of kit. If I was in the market for anything like this I would be all over a Scott Dixon like a bad rash. I have often fancied a 2nd hand 3 bass one just cos they are cool. I am pretty sure they will make whatever you want.

That sounds like no fun I am of course joking.

Thst is proper
