My mate has just come across this 30w Marshall bass combo, does anyone have any info on it please? Cheers, Mick.

The Brakes, live @ Hark to Towler, Tottington. 04-02-11 If you want a rock/pop covers band around the Northwest/N.Wales area, book these guys! '54 P bass!!!!!!!!!!!! I tried it unplugged and it felt and played very nicely! Cheers, Mick.

Hypermused live @ Hark to Towler, Tottington 05-02-11 Ric. of some description and a Jazz, running through this. into these. and this. Tha Ashdown and Trace cab (I think) runs the clean channel, then the Marshall head and cab runs the distorted channel, sounded very good. The Marshall combo is for guitar. Cheers, Mick.

They are held on with 4 pieces of rigid nylon velcro type stuff - but much stronger, in fact sometines very strongly. Ideal tool - an L shaped piece of metal with the small lip (botton of the L) being about 1 ~ 2 mm high / long with a wooden handle on the other end. This would be small enough to slip into the gap between grille and combo sides/top. Hook the lip over the back of grille and pull - possibly very strongly. hope this is explained well enough - could draw and post a diagram if needed.[/quote] That sounds like the trick, I'll give it a go tomorrow and report back. The reason it needs removing is to try and find the annoying rattle it has developed! Cheers, Mick.

Can anyone tell me the correct way to remove the front grille cloth without damaging anything please. Cheers, Mick.

Ahh pictures! Well it's not quite finished yet, just needs paint and grille. Cheers, Mick.

Looks like a good start to the build. There's lots of suggestions for foaming PL adhesive in my Jack 12 build thread. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=111770"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=111770[/url] Have fun. Cheers, Mick.

Ok, not a rig picture, but he kept hiding at the back behind all the fog!!! Steve and his ACG Singlecut 6, a truly stunning piece of woodworking! (and luthierism) Cheers, Mick.

It's alive, if not actually quite finished. Just needs paint, corners and a grille! Can't wait to give it a run out and really open it up. Cheers, Mick.

[quote name='steve' post='1077910' date='Jan 4 2011, 09:23 PM']looking good Mick, what head are you going to be using it with?[/quote] Hiya Steve, got a Laney RB9 for £100, it'll do until I can afford something fancier. It might even do for a while, it sounded just fine when played though a Barefaced Midget 1x12. See you this weekend then mate! You bringing the ACG? Cheers, Mick.

Assembly almost complete, well ready for testing anyway! Firstly I discovered that there is enough clearance for relieving of the back panel lagging not to be required. I had just enough underlay to line the cab, only just enough! And here's the back panel fitted for the first time. Jobs left to do. Move the handle mounting bolts as they are too close together! Round over the corners some more, so they fit the corner pieces. Level up the feet, as the base isn't quite flat! Paint the outside with speaker cab paint, so it looks pretty. Test it under power, when I receive the jack to speakon cable that I neglected to purchase earlier. Make and fit the front grille. Oh, and it weighs 16.2kg (35.7lb) as it is now! Cheers, Mick.

You've seen this guy's rig before, but he's just updated it. Cheers, Mick.

How black do you want it Sir? Blacker than a very black thing! The camera flash doesn't really convey just how matt this stuff is!!!!! Cheers, Mick.

Hurrahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!! the back panel bracing is now fitted. and if I had enough clamps, it would've been done much sooner! Never one to look a gift horse in the mouth, I managed to blag some offcuts of carpet underlay from a carpet fitter frind of mine! Cheers, Mick.

As promised, the internal bracing and sides now fitted. It's not actually quite as curved as the pics suggest (cheap camera) and will pull much straighter when the back panel bracing is fitted. Cheers, Mick.
