I would like to see those Jbbas again.

WinISD will calculate rectangular ports. I've done it the old fashioned way in the past - make a port that looks right (about ¼ to ⅓ driver diameter) and make a cardboard tube(s) and adjust the length until you get a sound you are happy with.

Fortunate Sons this evening. More of a try out the latest iteration of the pa than owt else tonight. An hour of set up. Fancy new speaker stans with handles to raise them up after you put them on the poles! Focused on our second set. Had a few fumbles and a complete brain fart on I'm a man... what could be simpler?

Say you'll pay once you've seen a photo of the bass with today's newspaper.

Tell him you're happy to pay once you have checked the bass over and wait for it to go through before taking it.

A chalk board helps.. people can also see how long the queue us and where they are. Perhaps limit to two songs and promise a second shot if time?

Ah... that's put me right off 🤣🤣🤣

Dingleberry Jam of course.

Their rivals are utterly chaotic. AD/HD.

Seriously considering....

It's not just me then!

Hmm. Seeing as metalworking has been a serious hobby for me for over 25 years, I wonder if I ought to make a bass bridge?

And me! <TEN!>

Had a VERY close call today. Went to A-Strings to buy a strap button (essential repair) and a set of strings (consumables). Took my brothers... Played two really nice basses, either of which I would have been happy to bring home, an Epiphone EB3 and a Squier Classic Vibe Bass VI. The latter was set up really well and was actually a delight to play, especially fingerpicked like an acoustic guitar. The EB3 needed some work on the nut and action, and the neck pickup was weak (it could be raised) - but the mudbucker didn't sound muddy, just rich and lots of girth 🙂 So with one brother determined to get me to buy one and the other not exactly trying to dissuade me, I thought hard about this thread and a rather obvious timber join on the Bass VI.

Cripes... that's about halfway bewteen Glasgow and Cardiff so it could also be a South Wales bash... Might make a weekend of it and see my daughter in Manchester ...
