Gary just bought my '69er cab. The prior sale had fallen through with great disappointment, but this one was plain sailing. Lovely chap, no messing about, great communication and came to pick up with cash in hand. I'd happily deal with him again :-)

I'd guess that a non-stacked rig will have more bass coupling with the floor.

I hope he stacks vertically for better dispersion ;-)

If I only played at home and wanted nice valve grind, I'd go for a low wattage valve amp like the Ashdown LB30. I don't see delicacy being an issue at all

Test: Excellent! Thanks folks

Do Dropbox links not work like they would if I pasted the link into the 'post image' function (which is not available on my phone/ipad)?

There is no rule that says that there has to be a bass solo! Tell the band that you'd be happier to sit out the solos. Unless you bulshitted your way into the gig?

.....or less than ideal option no.3 - rout chambers in the top and cover with a large pickguard ;-)

From my experience, cutting something that wide could only be done on a (very large) bandsaw. The annoying thing about bandsaws is that the bendy blade tends to wander from your intended straight line, and the cut itself tends to be quite corrugated. By the time you have cut the top off and then made both faces perfectly flat, you'll have lost an unacceptable amount of depth. If you really wanted to keep the top, you'd probably need to add an inbetween layer to make up for this loss. One of the above methods makes a lot of sense - put the body through a thicknesser and take off the appropriate amount (maybe 8mm?) which will leave a perfectly flat face. Then chamber and stick on a new top.

I feel a bit of pressure now! ;-) Last night the band jammed out a new dub song in low C# with the bass using a low pass filter with some boost at the (very low) cutoff point. I'm VERY happy with how deep, smooth and clear this cab is.

Matthew bought a rack bag from me. It was a quick, painless transaction. An easy person to deal with.
