Are they loud for their rated wattage as the Portaflex were underpowered for sure

Like anything, if you want to get on with people you seemingly need to allow them to have opinions and they should be able to accept if you agree or disagree too. Having said that, if the music becomes politically portrayed that way then no way!

Apparently one of that band did an about turn and is now far left. I remember mistakenly going to my local one night when they were playing, a very hasty retreat was made.

I remember playing one of these once - quite disorienting as I recall.

Yes it would. If your band's not racist, I'm not your bassist. (Not actually a racist)

Hi all Anyone building a P Bass as a project may well be interested in this. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/136410388638?itmmeta=01K4827H0686DTRKEVSZ9X7FFW&hash=item1fc2b1589e:g:VBcAAeSwcQ5ouFgg I bought a North West Guitars P Bass neck off this guy and his gear is absolutely top notch. Not cheap but really high quality. Cheers PJ

Yes. Enough said.

Excellent! Well done you. Do enjoy. I hope it does all you hope for and more.

G&L L2500s are about the easiest G&Ls to get. I have had one, when I was looking for an M2500 (which are very uncommon)

Thanks all for your help. I've realised it's more than want to take on myself so hopefully Steve Hawker will be able to sort it next week.

Not till this Sunday when I pick it up but just got the pics from Alan of my newly built RSK 5/35 and the weekend now can't come quick enough!!

The first time I left a band I tied myself in knots about how to do it. Ultimately I realised that it’s entirely fair to everyone involved to leave a band that’s not working (ideally giving them a bit of notice if there are gigs booked etc.) But really, it happens all the time and life goes on. If it’s polite that’s ideal, but even if it’s not polite it’s still the right thing to do.

A sensible approach might be to make one or two along the lines of what you might offer for sale and then relay it round your favourite BC people to get their thoughts before they are returned to you to consider any improvements suggested. That approach worked for Paul Reed Smith - he drove round to shops and gigs with a pair of his first guitars to drum up interest, but I bet he had several versions before being happy enough to sneak into a Santana show to get him to see one. So - a couple of examples for trusted people to try, then if all is well see if the UK youtubers would be interested in doing a quick video. That's probably the modern equivalent of PRS' approach.

Haha, well worked joke. Same as everyone else here. I couldn’t be in a band with members who have these views. (I do have an acquaintance that bought a Skrewdriver punk 7”, but that was morbid curiosity not race hate.)

Me too. Proudly so.

Look Morrissey you’ve asked once and the answer is still no 😝

It would definitely influence me against being in a band with folk with extremist views and has done in the past. I was in a band where we got a new drummer in, he was OKish talent wise, but once he made a thoroughly racist comment, he was gone.

The builds are in batches. It just depends on whether he's just finished a batch and there's batches for his other models to do before coming back to the Jive. When I ordered mine (some time ago) I think it was 2 or 3 months before I got it. But I also seem to remember being aware that was likely. Chris could make it a bit more obvious on this site though.

Thank you , I’m a bit nerdy about the stuff. I’m really just an old school thumper that likes a big , fat , rich , old school thump , and I’m ok with little Class D heads for home practice , for gigs I break out the tube preamp. I have too many amps , but just the right amount of cabs.

I'll happily test something out and I'm always honest with reviews. I guess the question is, how custom is custom? Are we just doing some minor tweaks to say a Fender or suchlike, or is it, literally anything goes in terms of mods? Pickup routing, circuit replacement? Or is it, a small choice of of body shapes, mods, woods and parts? Any of those things are fine, it's just good to know where it's all going to land and I appreciate that it's all speculation at the moment.

If you are blowing the cross-over I can't see the risk being lowered - presumably the BT3 has the same cross-over for the split with the HF horn? And as an aside - if you are that loud then surely the PA should be doing the hard work instead?

No, I wouldn't work with right wing scumbags, and I'm sure they wouldn't want to work with me - I think I'd confuse them.
