So Mrs B and I are having a drink and a chill, and out the blue she says

”Can you build me a bass..? I quite fancy one to learn on”

 

!

 

Is this a trap? 

[Mykesbass]

Sounds great. Get building!

Apparently it’s not a trap.. she’s picked a body shape and everything.

If it's not a P I'd be on to the solicitor quick smart!

Well now.. the build thread will be interesting!

[Bridgehouse]

I have only one word for you... 

 

 

 

...decoupage

[TheGreek]

...and what specs do you does she want?

[Bridgehouse]

51 Precision semi hollow, black hardware.. decoupage finish...

The big gloves give it away.

Decoupage finish sounds interesting & different! What designs is she going for & how will you do it?

[Teebs]

ps. I'm sure its not a trap...but whose amp is she going to use?

She want's a combo for the conservatory where her drum kit is

 

Naturally, I think she needs a nice Ampeg valve combo.. cough.

We have done some research - she's done a lot of decoupage - I think it will be classic rock posters or something similar - top only - back and sides natural - whole lot shot over with clear lacquer. Need to do a bit of experimenting but should make for an interesting build thread (!)

Yes, I think that sounds about right *attempts deadpan face*

Either that, or is this the excuse I need to get a trace combo as it won't need to be moved?

Thinking about this, its a concrete floor... Will I need extra reinforcement for a Trace combo?

As someone who works in the construction industry, my considered opinion is that you'll be ok with a Trace combo, as its gravitational pull is exactly equal to that exerted by the world, so the concrete flooring slab will be sandwiched between them quite safely 🤣

Excellent news.. let's hope passing cars aren't also attracted towards it!

...that is an unfortunate side-effect common to all Trace Amplification.

[Teebs]

...often the cause of multi-car pile-ups is found to be the transportation of Trace gear to and from gigs!
