I've had my D8 for a couple of decades now - doesn't owe me anything (bought it for a fiver off a market stall), and because of the bite mark I've worn in the beak over the years it's probably not highly saleable.
I've been completely delighted with the piece down the years - but as I've grown older and the type of gigs I'm doing have changed, I find I'm wanting to rein in a little of the D8's brightness.
I'm planning to get meself off to a shop or two and spend a few days going through a few pieces - I really like the immediacy and response from the Dukoff, so will probably have a look at some of their other models.
In the meantime though I figured it might be worth trying a few mods on this piece to see if I can deepen the core sound a little without losing 'the spark'.
I'm not going to touch the table or the rails - just the bore. If all else fails I can return it to more or less spec with resin and it will do just nicely as a backup.
I'm thinking in terms of smoothing out the bore, with perhaps a slight mod to the rear of the baffle - so would be interested to hear what people suggest.
Here's the 'beast' in question:
