    It may be that those manufacturers want to mimic the look of Marshal / Vox / Hywatt / Wem cabs from back in the day. Several speaker builders on this forum have used speakergrills.com, so that would be a fairly safe option. If you investigate other suppliers, check the thickness of the grill they offer. David

    There are speaker grill manufacturers who will produce a grill to your dimensions - eg www.speakergrills.co.uk Before going down that road, you need to consider how you are going to fix it to the cab, whether you want a flat grill, or one with folded over edges etc. I would also recommend having it coated before despatch. You will waste a lot of paint spraying through the holes if you do it yourself. The alternative, if it exists, is the aftermarket you refer to, which may be more expensive because each product is intended to fit an expensive branded cab. David

    I had a s/h Warwick Corvette fretless tuned BEAD, which I loved, and decided to move on to a 5-string fretless Corvette. What I didn't realise was that the transition from 4-string bubinga body to a wider neck 5-string and lighter swamp ash body would result in neck dive. I tried various remedies and eventually decided I would never be happy with it so I moved it on.

    It may depend on whether the amp module is stand-alone, or on the same pcb as everything else. When I fried my Ashdown MyBass, I did some basic tests for them and they then sent me a new module and asked for the old one back. That suggests some component level of repairability is feasible.

    I have a Tascam GT-R1 recorder/bass trainer with stereo mics built in, but found it overloaded at performance sound levels. Conversely, a cheap Tandy electret mic feeding into a budget mixer worked fine at the same volumes. YMMV as they say. David

    Things like the Phil Jones Briefcase are available second hand, using mains or a 2.2kg 12v lead acid battery, so they are a one hand carry, but not that light. I hear that the next generation used a lithium power pack which is lighter. but much more expensive. David

    A box that includes different size holes for the battery terminals would tick the boxed for me - no chance of inserting a battery rhe wrong way round and damaging the circuit. David

    That one was two shielded balanced pair cables with a common figure-8 sheath - presumably someone still makes it. David

    As a compromise, Studiospares did a figure-8 stereo microphone cable - two balanced cables joined together. Haven't found it yet on the G4M site... David

    The BL provides a Yamaha mixer/amp and PA speakers, but we often busk using event-supplied generators. I carry a mixer which can be battery powered, and a battery powered rig so we can continue with my mixer & amp & his speakers if the power fails (typically the generator runs out of fuel). David

    I've been using stereo microphone cable to do this for several years - it works well for active basses with electronics to drive the signal through the cable, but passive basses may have some loss of high frequency contect due to the cable capacitance. David

    Interesting history of tuning here. https://jakubmarian.com/the-432-hz-vs-440-hz-conspiracy-theory/ David

    Behringer xenyx 304 - EQ on bass/line in, and also on the stereo line in/PC out. This makes it really easy to minimise the bass on the track you are learning, regardless of whether it comes from an external MP3 player or from the PC. David

    I think the issue with people practicing is that you might play through the same phrase many times, and that is what winds people up. David

    OK - your back-up head (Elf or similar?) will probably have a jack socket output so you would need a jack plug to speakon to connect to the extension speaker and a speakon to jack socket to connect that to the combo cab. That would also give you the option of connecting the combo amp to the extension speaker if the combo speaker was suspect. David
