I sit my rack box on some sponge workshop tiles to damp some of the vibration, inspired by vibration damping foam, but not as eye-wateringly expensive (the cabs were a cheap option, but sound great )

Might need to sell this (car AND PC troubles in the same week ) If you're interested drop me a line .. P.

Just ask my missus......[/quote] The drumsticks are likely (according to the Vic Firth site) to be around 15" long, plus he says in an interview that "My cabs were made in 1978 by a flight case company and fitted with JBL K140 speakers" (which are 15")

[quote name='umph' post='197857' date='May 13 2008, 12:01 PM']Been thinking about building my own cab was wondering how hard it is and such forth? Was thinking of going for a 2X15 that i'd be able to wire in stereo so would be able to choose between using one speaker for home or two for louder gigs etc. does anyone know anywhere i could find good plans for effiecent cab designs like the bfm ones? I had a look and don't think he does 2X15s ;<[/quote] The OmniTop 15 can be built as a 2x15 - the details are part of that set of plans. P.

I think you should be happy doing what I do.. Like what you like and dislike that which you don't like. That doesn't mean dismissing everything within a particular genre, though - you can pick and choose whatever you like.

[quote name='Scoop' post='194454' date='May 8 2008, 09:32 AM']Hi paul, I don't recognise the titles. Who did the originals? That might give me an idea of stuff in similar vein.[/quote] Time Is Tight is Booker T and the MGs, Monkey Man is Toots and the Maytals (The Specials covered it live, as did Amy Winehouse on a JH Hootenanny) The Harder They Come is Jimmy Cliff The band myspace is [url="http://www.myspace.com/markdacosta"]http://www.myspace.com/markdacosta[/url] with a couple of the originals on it. I'm loathe to try and identify exactly what's wanted, as people might throw in things I'd never consider, but those should give some idea.

I'm gigging in a band playing mostly originals mixed with a few covers, Time Is Tight - Monkey Man - The Harder They Come are the current ones. Any suggestions for similar bouncy songs ?

[quote name='Machines' post='193592' date='May 7 2008, 07:40 AM']What colour is that ? Looks like Desert Gold but is a bit too yellow. Lovely bass Paul, i'd gladly steal it from you .[/quote] It's Medallion Gold, and looks even better in normal light
