Very nice indeed @Josephine_van_Rijn.

I think some percussion band threw it away. The skin was dried out and wasn’t fitting properly, the whole thing was askew.
I took it home and soaked it in water till it was supple again and managed to put it back together.
It’s nice enough for a one woman band.

My son is a bass player. He said the Fender amps aren’t too hard to repair. Of course, the only thing I’ve seen him take apart is my sanity.

That sounds good, just make sure the speaker isn’t blown. It will cost you just as much or more to recone it or replace it.

The bitch is not going to send it to me. I hate people who advertise shit, with the option of having it send to you, only to end up telling you they don’t. 
I can come and pick it up. I can barely walk. I’m not going to to other side of the country to pick up a cheap amp.
I know it’s a small country, but still.

Taking a short break (OF COURSE !!!) from the Capellas, as yesterday (Happy BIrthday !!!), I got the VID again.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, 2023, can’t be over SOON enough for me, my brothers and sisters.
@Josephine_van_Rijn it’s TOO bad, we’re (for all intense and purposes), across the world from each other, or I’d show up with a DUMP TRUCK of thinks for you to HIT !!!

Fender bass amps are popular, I bet you can find another. Forget her. Do you use Craigslist? I see that nextdoor.com is now in Europe. It’s a great place to find free and for sale/trade items right in your own neighborhood. I got some great deals through it.
Btw, I think it was super cool of your teacher to show you how to make a bamboo flute. Lucky you.

I just signed up for the Dutch nextdoor 
Only to find out it is basically a neighbourhood chat group. “Did any of you hear that loud bang last night?”
It’s all along those lines.
You will have to actively ask in the chat if someone has an amp for sale.
That’s too much social interaction for me, especially since they’re living in the neighbourhood. This area is like a small village. I think I’ll pass. I’ve been looking to undo the sign up, but I don’t see anything.
I will just forget about them.
He was great. We listened to Queen’s Night at the Opera and watched Herman Hesse’s Steppenwolf.
And we made that flute. It took months!

You mean yours doesn’t have a classified section? That shits. When ours started out it didn’t have much either but chat. Idk why nextdoor hasn’t added that feature yet. Doesn’t make sense.

Nope. Maybe it’s because we have Marktplaats. You can look for anything you like and specify the distance too.
Maybe they thought it was superfluous. 
I’ll get another one from somewhere. The 10 amp is not too bad. I tried it with an electric bass and it works fine.
It’s the semi-acoustic bass that gives a lot of feedback. It’s a cheap one. The acoustics are fine though, so I’m keeping it.
Can’t you sign up for a tour of duty and invade the Netherlands? That’ll solve it.

I already had a virtual gift from some neighbour.

That’s not unusual for semi-acoustics. You can try stuffing the bass with t-shirts or something or make sure you’re not facing the front of the amp and don’t be right on top of it, give it distance.

In that case I don’t need another one. The 10 watt is sufficient for the living room.
Neighbours might start complaining about me via Nextdoor.

I knew a female drummer who had NO HANDS! She securely fastened the sticks to her wrists in some way. Been so long I can’t remember exactly how she did it. Point is, she was a damn good drummer and played different musicical styles too.

I met a guy in Amsterdam many years ago who asked me for directions. I think he was from the States.
I walked up with him a little and he had tiny, deformed hands. More like embryonic baby hands.
He told me he was a drummer.
I don’t know how he managed. He didn’t say, I didn’t ask.
