Wheel tappers and Shunters Social Club? A

The Squier VM Jazz 5er has a 46mm width at the nut if that's any use. Really good basses to. A

So this is / was a Silvertone! Ignore the dodgy scratchplate and respray. After 20+ years I finally know Its a short scale to btw. [URL=http://s1160.photobucket.com/user/apasher/media/DSCN0442.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/q491/apasher/DSCN0442.jpg[/IMG][/URL] A

[i]awwwww maaaaan if I had the bread I'd be all over this! What colour is it? Is it still for sale? [/i]

As a stand to rest your Stagg on its perfect. Fully adjustable, rock solid and stable but packs down into a reletively small size. Cant fault it. Not sure how your supposed to use it to play with. Might get in the way a bit and the front to back angle isnt adjustable. Just the hight. I dont think its actually intended to be used while playing. A

No Idea but I kind of like it in a Burns-esk kind of way!

Id replace the neck J with the MM but in the position you have put them then tap the MM so you can have the single coil ala original J. A neck J + MM probably wouldnt give you that much more than an MM on its own. Also makes life simple with still just two pickups going into a J-Retro. Id talk to John East himself. He will know exactly what to do with his amps. Ive pondered this sort of multi pickup config myself on a 5er but twin tapped J at the bridge for MM or J and a P at the neck. A

They have black and white cloth cable with a little tag on one cable saying Lindy Fralin: [URL=http://s1160.photobucket.com/user/apasher/media/DSCN0439.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/q491/apasher/DSCN0439.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Not exactly the best anti fraud device!! It does annoy me a bit with pickups that other than the case, which means nought, they are pretty plain with no distiduishing markings. You could put anything in any case you like!! Very poor show. A

Who do you think you are? Orson Wells?? Wasnt 'A Quick One' by The Who the embryo of the Rock Opera? Released in 1966. Does War of the worlds count? Good luck with your endevour. A

[quote name='Dr.Dave' timestamp='1368706750' post='2080397'] Don't know either but I expect of you reverse the nut and the bridge because of the guage of the slots you can easily reverse the stringing and you're in business. [/quote] Im no expert either but as with good quality acoustic guitars the thickness of the front face is different on the bass and treble sides and the sound post will need to be moved. But dont quote me on that. Godd film btw. Ages since i watched it

[quote name='LawrenceH' timestamp='1368631427' post='2079492'] The upper end of the response really won't change much putting the speakers in a different box, assuming you are listening on-axis. If the bottom end is overpowering at one point in the frequency range, then changing the box could help and potentially re-balance the low end against the mids/treble, but it's not going to magically make them sound bright and modern. The reason for the 2 boxes is that a 4x10 in a square really does have issues that will manifest in the mids/treble as very uneven sound. It might be worth checking if you like the sound of these drivers better when you're facing them directly, in which case stacking them vertically would bring you more on-axis. Otherwise, if you've got the power available you can probably get close to the same overall volume from 2 high-end 10" PA drivers. If not you can get the same volume or even exceed it with the right pair of 12s. [/quote] Get where your coming from. I think Ill splash out on a new cab then sell these speakers without the cab and use that as ..... well bin it!!

Exellent stuff - thanks guys. Just to cover a few points raised above: 1. I built the cab based on what I say in a brochure so the sound isnt going to be right. 2. I agree since these are the proper Marshall speakers Im not going to get the proper spec and hence any design isnt going to be perfect. Assuming there is a difference!! 3. Im looking at one cab ideally. 4. Making two 2x12" is a bit difficult with 4x10" speakers 5. Isobatic out the window 6. 4 single boxes - hmm interesting few through a random signal splitter? (do they exist? ) 7. The sound is a bit mid and low. Not my cup of tea any more. Yes a rather vintage sound. These are probably best suited to be used in a combination set up. 8. So these are only 'alright' speakers? And I guess times have moved on since the mid 90's! 9. Memory is hazy but I do seem to recall a tweeter in the real thing! Infact Im right. Its also ported. Its based on a 7410 although they are rated at 800w. Im pretty sure the one I copied was the same but one model down and didnt have the gold stips. Heres a pic of the 7410 Im urring on selling them to fund a better set up. There is nothing so far to suggest otherwise. A

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1368484204' post='2077728'] Two boxes. Pair of 2x10s is best. [/quote] Id rather have one box. Suppose I could use two of the speakers and flog the other two. Hmmm

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1368483737' post='2077724'] Isobaric is just a bad plan ever since speakers stopped needing to be in a car sized box to work properly. Only advantage is you can sell someone with space for a 1x12 two speakers instead of one, and then sell them another when they find the 1x12 max volume isn't enough, and I guess you aren't that much of a shyster [/quote] Gotcha And the only thing you can do with four 10" speakers is put them all in one big box. A

[quote name='geoffbyrne' timestamp='1368482173' post='2077692'] You can make me a sensible offer........well,it's for sale as I don't play much guitar these days & when it is, it's the Strat. You could PM me if interested.... G. [/quote] If I was in the market for one then this would be a first choice but unfortunatly Im not soz. Still a very nice one though. Love that colour! A

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1368483072' post='2077706'] I get mine from the USA on ebay. I love them! [/quote] I think I actually got a set a while ago direct from the US on ebay. You dont incure any taxes from what I remember either. A

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1368481415' post='2077684'] Each will take 150 watts, so in theory you could push 600 watts into a cab that has all four in. I say in theory, as 600 actual watts would probably destroy all buildings around, so in reality, whatever cab you put together will be very powerful. Saying all of this though, you may well be able to sell them on, and put the money raised towards a new more suitable cab, cones like these generally raise £40 - £50 each. [/quote] This probably would be the best solution. Although they are pretty good speakers. A shame to get rid of them. Oh hold on what did you say!! £40 - £50. Hmmm interesting thanks [quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1368481932' post='2077688'] Isobaric is a bad plan, they don't have much excursion as it is, and isobaric mounting will halve that which is available to move air. Fire up WinISD and figure a couple of 2x10s you can stack vertical. Edit: googling the speaker got me back to myself, asking for one of these for my Ashdown ABM8x10. So probably happiest in a sealed cab, but bigger than the compartments in the 8x10. [/quote] Isobaric is a bad plan as far as these speakers go because of the travel? Just downloaded WinlSD cheers Ill have a play. (Although they dont have these speakers in thier list A vertical 210 would be the next obvious choice yep. cheers A

G. [/quote] Going OT (Now that Lurksalot seems to have figured it out for now) That Burns 12string is absolutely beautiful A

So when I was young and it was spring etc I built this monolith. Spec taken from a picture with overall dims of a Marshall 410 in about 1992. So it doesnt really resemble what they are supposed to be. I ported it because ..... well thats what you do isnt it! The nice young Jimmy Page lookalike from Dawsons in Chester managed to get me the proper Celestian BG10T-150 speakers. This thing weighs a bloody ton having been made from 18mm MBD. Now in my more enlightened state Im thinking of reusing them in a more up to date design. Im thinking of a 410 Isobaric design ala Orange or some such more compact and lightweight design. Problem is I cant find any plans for one. Anything that Fearful have is based on specific speakers and they dont make a 10" unit. Also what power rating will these babys be? Assuming I use all 4. Do I get 150watts all in or 4x150watts = 600watts ?? Nothing wrong at all with the spreaker themselves. They've had very lite use Anyone know of any selfbuilds for these? Or should I just sell them on and start from scratch?

[quote name='Balcro' timestamp='1368466855' post='2077441'] Try stringsdirect.co.uk I got my "Brite Flats" from there. Go via the "Contact us" link and send them an e-mail. I did this and they obtained the strings within 3-4 days. Balcro [/quote] This and also try Ebay. There are a couple of guys who sell them intermitantly. My fav string btw A

If you splashed out on a 3D printer you could create blocks with embossed pictures of your loved ones and hang a guitar in front of them A

If the body is very close to the wall then the standard round door stops or amp feet will be perfect. recessed screw holes to. A quick look round any hardware store will give you lots of ideas and solutions. It might be better if they did touch the body. This will be more stable. Only drawback with this is just make sure your body finish wont be tainted or react with the rubber or whatever. A

One or two small rubber faced protrusions placed behind where the body will be will solve the problem. One of those springy door stops maybe? You wont see them when hung and will be very inconspicuos when visible. A

[quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1368337555' post='2075757'] Personally, I find the lines actually interfere with my brain visually with fretless, making the whole fingerboard look too busy. So I actually prefer unlined, and did right from the start of learning the instrument. [/quote] Me to. The lines confuse me. I instantly want to go between them! A
