Also missing All Right Now and Sweet Home Alabama.

I think mine is about 1976.

Marked out the fretboard for cutting slots - basically made a small mark for each fret using both scale lengths, from the parallel fret (in this case I settled on the 9th). Then joined those marks up very carefully using a 0.5mm pencil. Used a planed offcut of the body clamped to the top as a guide for each slot as a precaution, which worked really well!

First thing I done when I got my pair of Monzas was to put heavy duty rubber feet on them as I wasn’t confident enough with the corner pieces when stacked. Simple enough to do. Other than that I’m really pleased with their sound and performance. Glad you’re enjoying your new unit! Great products x

Ok, sorry for delays, I've had the chance to put the Goodwood through it's paces more now, and I like it. This cab is mighty loud. I'm not actually that surprised by that, it's a 10" driver in a box that many standard 12" drivers would fit into. I feel like many bass cab makers make their boxes smaller than they ought to, which reduces low end sensitivity for the sake of easier carry. I get it though, a properly sized driver in a properly sized cab ends up a lot bigger. I've had no problem keeping up with a loud guitarist and loud drummer in a jazz-funk setting, even with me using octavers and whatnot. That was great. No problem carrying the room with a a mic'd up ceilidh band (fiddle, mic'd drummer, mic'd accordion, and me) at the weekend. A church hall with about 100 folks, so not a massive gig, but plenty enough to carry the room without PA support. What was great was that my drummer, about 70 degrees off axis to the cab, had no problems hearing me either. I do love the horn on Stevie's cabs. It's pretty good outdoors, although I want it on the ground near a wall to get max volume out of it when busking. But then I'm unusual in that I'm busking with a drummer on a proper portable kit. Every bass sounds honest through it, same as for the Silverstone. There's no hiding, what's in the signal chain is what you get. The B-Amp is a very good match for the cab, as I can sculpt the tone out for the room with high and low pass filters and then use EQ for other areas as desired. It also matches the B-Amp power rating well. (When I tried the Monza, I felt like that might want a slightly more powerful amp than my B-Amp to get the most out of it.) The Goodwood is very slightly leaner in the low end than my Silverstone (around 100Hz), but in real rooms when it's placed on the floor, I need no bass boost. I'll try and see if I can do a video review of it. It's a great cab. It's way more capable than any other 10" box I've owned, which has included a Barefaced One10 and the venerable Acme 1x10, and beats some 12" cabs I've had. This is the most compact FRFR solution apart from an LFSys Monza, and it's a fair bit lighter and a bit cheaper. I finally might sell my Silverstone. I try to be a one-cab guy...but I've had that for so long I can't quite part with it...hmm.

Is this just for V4?

Saw Fury... possibly supporting Phil Campbell? They were good.

Love that maple fretless , used to have one , regret selling it. Mine was a 72.

Just over two hours for me

Put The Coke On My D!ck - Ween

I am totally in love with this pickup configuration

I like what she has done to the Ric headstock logo on the image for her youtube channel. Rickenbecky!

I’ve both and would say that the JMJ has a thicker chunkier tone with more mids, similar to a Precision, whereas the MIJ is more Jazz like, lower lows and crisper highs.

I was pleasantly surprised. I chuckled quite a lot. If you were in two minds but haven't gone yet don't hang about. Our local Vue cinema are showing it for the last time tonight. We went to a local independent cinema to watch - much nicer place, sound wasn't deafening and they showed it at a much more sociable time. Anyway it might not be long on the big screen going by the very small audience

Bought a G&L L2000 bass from Mike today and the whole transaction from first enquiry and message to arriving home with the bass couldn't have gone any smoother. A great guy to deal with, the bass was exactly as described with all the case candy... and he makes a great cup of coffee too! If you're buying anything from Mike, then you're in safe hands. Many thanks Mike. All the best!

Did a trade with Keir for my Roscoe, for his Sadowsky. Good comms to arrange a mutual place and time, and a nice easy meet up. Lovely top bloke to boot.
