I got a template and a proper punch as well, the problem is when I actually hit it with the drill. I don't have a big machine, just a hand drill with step heads. If I am off 0.5mm to the left here, and 0.5mm to the right there, this is barely noticeable with some pot wiggle, but when two boards needs to be aligned for header pins, and the footswitch can't wiggle, and you realise both audio jacks are just a TAD further from the enclosure than they should be... it's suddenly a bigger problem 😁 But honestly, I am surprised the prototype is not a lot worse. I did not expect a lot from some first experiment. Now I wonder if it works. The Pot Hell will confirm hopefully in a couple days, depending on free time. Will also need to adjust the design using what I learned.

The green is the colour the Shoreline Gold became when the yellowed lacquer was applied

Personally, I’d divorce you if you bought something so horrid! A Hawkes double bass is a different matter…

That’s a lot of sockets! my method is to print the drill points on paper, then prit stick it to the enclosure and centre punch through the paper

Hmm... Turns out it's not as easy as all that..!

You won't get either trust me

👌. Thrilled to see a "skippable" bass brought back to life. Chickens and all.

About £300 new. Maybe £200 used. It will likely beat a £200 wooden bow with ease but as you can buy new for £300......

Blimey. Why Peavey?

For that money Id want them to cover the cost of the divorce !

Blooming lovely. Is that green a true representation of what it looks like in the flesh? Inspired choice if it is.

Don't we all consider a brand new purchase as a bit of a toy to play with? I know I do! LOL As I said: Enjoy! I hope you get the same pleasure I get from playing through my B15NF

If you buy it, do not start about putting frets to it, no!

Well, here's a weird one... Thisnis a jazz I bought a bit ago - never seen or heard of these, or even where you'd get the logo. Looks cool though. Mojo without imitation.

OK, here is some of the Peaveys.

You can always get another wife...

For such a huge event I don't remember too much. I remember my pal telling we were going as The Who were playing. Mind being broke and selling some golf clubs my old man had in the shed for the ticket. Don't recall the trip down from Falkirk or how it took to get inside Wembley , I do remember we'd been inside 20 minutes and telling my pal to wait "Right here" as I joined a queue to buy smokes; never saw him again until the following week 🤣 I mind it was bloody hot and London prices shocked me, everything was £1.50 ; Can of beer back home was 20p. At some point I ventured off the pitch and found a bar selling draught, again £1.50. It was there I saw the full horror of Bono's ego and Queen steal the show. Never was a fan of the band but the way they controlled the crowd was a wonder to behold 😎 Queues leaving the stadium were a nightmare, queue into tube station was the same. Those queues meant I missed my train but luckily the Glasgow train was an hour late so got that instead. Train was mobbed, parked my arse on the floor in-between carriages for 8 hours; tapping smokes of boy scouts heading to the lavvy for a sly puff 😀

I've been watching the BBC iPlayer. Observations? Lots of mullets. Quite a few performers long dead. US show was a shambles. U2 and Queen were great. Elton John on for too long. We were talking about the bands that didn't play (Geldolf, for instance, believed Big Country had split up).
