Using jacks for cabinets is a terrible idea, as this photo clearly shows:

I was thinking exactly the same thing.

Sometimes I think it would be great to work in something other than IT. Then I remember how much I like food and shelter! Hats off to you both, but especially your wife the artist.

Yep. And it’s still a gorgeous bass 🤩

That's very nice. And, more importantly for the OP, the company appears to cover the return shipping costs for refunds. https://folkiesmusic.co.uk/policies/refund-policy

Great bass! Missing pix though. Is there something up with Imgur? About half the threads these days just show this: Photos can be directly inserted into BC, and if you're out of space then old ones can be deleted from your account.

Just looked those up. Not a piece of hobbyist equipment, but very impressive. Presumably you clear coat varnish afterwards to protect the paint? You mentioned help from your wife, is she the artist or does she own a a print shop? Or both?

That's fabulous! What sort of printer is it?

Gary: I swear it was like biggest storm I have heard, it sounded like the lightning was this close! Chris: Never been to a Thunder gig before then?

Bit of a thread ressurection, but we are restarting the Midlands Bass Bash next year. About 125 miles for you.

I have just moved on my EBS Classic Session 60 which I think is a perfect practice amp. Sounds like a proper bass amp, stereo in, headphones and DI out, makes a good stage monitor and can go loud enough to annoy other family members.

Roger Waters never had the nerve to make the Final Cut. Shame, he's missed out on great little cab.

I had a very stressful Rememberance Day service on Sunday, but it was good. The band debuted a song, written by myself and the band leader well over a year ago, which expresses my thoughts and hopes for Ukraine. It wasn't written for church, it's a band song and it builds in a very specific way. We spent a fair chunk of the rehearsal on themat one on getting the phrasing right, changing the arrangement and so on so it was as good as it could be gievn that the band had never heard it. To add to the pressure, the minister, who really liked it when we played it to him months ago and wanted to include it at Rememberance, had scheduled it immediately before the 2 minutes silence. I expected it at the end after the colours had paraded out, not as a critical element. Thankfully it went very well, and we had a lot of positive comments. The band leader's guitar lead was crackly right at the start, but was OK after that. YT sound mangles the arrangement a little and doesn't capture the bass at all (it starts with a heartbeat on the low B) but it's not bad. See what you think.
