Phil Starr Posted January 26, 2023 Author Share Posted January 26, 2023 I'm up in Reading brushing up our set with my duo and for a break in the evenings we are hitting the open mics. Tues night we turned up to the loudest sound ever at an 'acoustic' open mic. I actually didn't think the House Jam Cab stood a chance as the rear wall was so far back there woud be no help from there. The guy running it was a bassist who'd toured with name bands back in the 70's. We had the lead for DI into the PA ready and I'd made the obligatory "we're going to need a bigger cab" crack. I turned the amp up plugged the bass cab in and had t turn it down. The response from the host was just WTF and he was still muttering it at the end of our 'set' as I packed up. This cab was meant to push the envelope when I designed it but it still surprises me. It sounds as good as I'd hoped but the volume was really unexpected. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pea Turgh Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Hello. It’s just a standard household emulsion in a colour that I fancied, then with two coats of a paint protector of some sort, meant for making standard emulsion wipeable. Seems to be holding up pretty well still! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwillett Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 That's very impressive for household emulsion. I love the colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bremen Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 That it is. I'd never heard of paint protector, could use that throughout my house, garden, studio and bogshed... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 I've used mine at a couple of open mic nights with a 5-string bass, a Tecamp Puma 900, and a degree of caution. Happily kept up with a small PA and sounded good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Starr Posted September 2 Author Share Posted September 2 I've always loved the look of this @Pea Turgh I'm a lazy so and so when it comes to finish and the corners and handle set it off really nicely reminding me I really should take it more seriously. You've even made the round grille look like it belongs rather than the afterthought it is on my cabs 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly, the cab ain’t gigged, but it still looks like new. Edited September 2 by Pea Turgh Grammar 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't say it makes an excellent job of finishing speaker cabs on the tin though.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says "may induce nausea and vomiting if ingested". I tried some, and it really did do exactly what it says on the tin. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your dedication to physically checking and confirming the health and safety information does you credit. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 BTW, mine demonstrates exactly how to make a round grille look like an afterthought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
