Hi Steve, welcome

 

I'm originally from Cornwall (Mylor Bridge), like many of school friends I left to find a job, haven't made it back yet but it will always be home!

 

Small world.  I left Cornwall in 1956 and moved back 5 years ago.  Now live in Mylor Bridge. 

This may have been tried before but the two parts of the P pickup make a humbucker.  Have you tried rotating one piece through 180 degrees?

As a comparison, my original Sterling SB14 is:

Nut 0.84"

1stt Fret 0.83"

12th Fret 0.91"

15th Fret  0.92"

My old SB14 had the switch

 

 

I have an SB14 which has been converted to fretless. It came with and still has the switch

Just measured my 2003 MM Sterling and it's:

Nut 0.87"

1st Fret 0.82"

12th Fret 0.92

15th Fret 0.95"

Hope this helps

I would proceed as follows:

1. obtain the brackets a.k.a. ‘rack strip’

2. bolt the units to the rack strip

3. measure the resulting assembly

4. design and build the sleeve to match your measurements. 
 

It doesn’t sound like those two units should need lots of ventilation, compared to a power amp, say, but the advice above about ventilation is good. 

I second this approach.  Rack panels are 19-inches wide so the opening width is always 19-inches plus a bit.  Coversely the opening height is always multiple units of 1.75-inches and the panels/units should be less a tolerance to allow them to fit.  I used to have a data sheet giving the recommended dimensions but I can't seem to find it right now.  You should be able to find them through Google.

Perhaps Steve could send it straight to me to save time/postage.

Wow it's a great day to be on this forum, many thanks, I'll do that, I'd far rather have a unit built by your good self 🙏

I’ll pm you my address later.

Many thanks (30-mins is hardly a delay!). I'm guessing that's inadvisable with two different cabs as per the above post, the cabs in question are both 8 ohm, one a 15" only, the other a 10" and two 6"s? 

If you get it from Steve and send it to me I could rewire it to parallel. FOC of course.

Steve, as ever you're a star mate, perhaps @obbm can confirm?

Sorry for delayed response but away at the moment.  Steve is correct. It will make 2 x 8-ohm cabs look like  16-ohms and because it’s a valve head you will get full output into the 16-ohms.

Back in the day I used to make boxes that allowed either series or parallel speakers but with combo Speakon. That Palmer box looks to be just the job.

Signed up here on 16th May 2007 having been on Bassworld since about 2001. Over the years I've bought and sold many basses and amps although now my gigging days are over my activity is much reduced.  Over the years I have met many fellow bassists and made many friends.

Hello from Bodmin! 👋

Hello Bodmin, Mylor Bridge here.

Welcome. Another from Cornwall here. Too old for gigging these days but still have a few basses to keep me amused.

My Activer One10 arrived this week.  My rig is almost complete apart from trying different pre-amps.  I currently have it running with a Sansamp BDDI mk2 and I am liking the sound with all three cabs. All 3 work together really well.  Very growly.  A single One10, either the Activier or a passive cab with a gnome, sounds a bit thin but I believe that's due to the hard accoustics of the room.  I've used One10s live and they are fine.

The new cab however is winding up my OCD as the Activier One10 does not match the two previous cabs.  The handle is on the opposite side and the new logo is .... Hmmm.

Is this still available? Cheers, Dan

Yes it is. For more details please PM me.

Tom has just bought the last of my 4-sq.mm. speaker cables that were surplus since I stopped gigging and sold my main rig.  Great communication and prompt payment.  Thank you Tom.

My gigging days are over so my Genzler Magellan 350 Amplifier is now surplus to requirements.
