@Paul Geary much love being given to your boss! For those who don't know, Paul is Nik's bass player 😎

I agree entirely 👍

I must dig out my two 1516 stories, one in which it broke the singer’s car, the other in which it created its own horizon rendering it apparently invisible to the human eye 👍

For the last 11 years I’ve been thinking one of these would be perfect for one of my gigs. But now that gig has dried up to maybe 3-4 a year max, so seems a bit pointless! Hope you get yours sorted @tauzero

Totally agree!

Which tonerider pickup? I've saving my penny's for a Hb shorty, debating the matter finish one

Just seen this one advertized through the grapevine - a limited edition Rhoads-shaped bass: https://www.guitarcenter.com/Jackson/X-Series-RR-B-IV-Limited-Edition-Electric-Bass-Guitar-Black-1500000455188.gc I've always lusted after the Jackson Rhoads and Warrior shapes and desperately wished they did bass versions (you occasionally see custom shop models pop up which shows they can at least make them!). This one seems to be a limited edition and I wonder whether any will make their way over here...

So the stingray has had 6 coats of clear coat today and it’s being left over the weekend to cure before it’s wet sand and buff to a high gloss finish. im really pleased with the dirty stain, the stark white has gone and the grain really pops out. Its certainly going to be different from the usual natural finish stingrays and definitely worth the effort once it is back together. i have suppliers sourcing me a black bridge direct from musicman so once that is here i can reassemble!

From my experience, they do have a noticeable seismic impact on the surrounding area. My neighbours hated me when I had the 400+ and the 1516! I just think that this head deserves a matching cab, complete with the Mesa/Boogie logo, the grid plate grille and so on, but in the Subway style - ie, lightweight and portable for people who don't have a big car and who value the integrity of their vertebrae.

Just tried it out. So, so clean. Better sound than your best oxygen free copper, gold plated connector, washed in unicorn tears cable. I would use it from choice even for a quiet gig with no leaping about.

I was going to have a shot of that one at lunchtime today but wasn't able to make it over. If it's still there on Tuesday when I'm next in the office I'll have a swatch.

Groovy. Mark

This is also the case with my Powerhouse 6x10.

The Cab cover I bought via Hotcovers on Wednesday afternoon arrived today. It seems well made, fits nicely and is quite thick. I'd recommend.

Ah. Maybe a darker polish for the front, to cover the marks, and a moisture proof spray for the underside?

Looks amazing, great piece of work!

A bit of a Fender Jazz day today... I picked up a nice Alder/Rosewood 2014 Jazz Deluxe for a friend last night on my way home from the SW. I've been setting it up today, and it plays really well & sounds good, but what I wasn't prepared for was when playing it back to back with my Ash/Maple Elite, how much improved the Elite really was in 2016 over the previous Deluxe. It really is night and day. As folks say, the Elite really was peak Deluxe Series.

The staining is on the front tho. It kind of seeps through and leaves a darken patch on the front of the strap seemingly staining it
