I wonder how a early G&L L1000 like mine would have gone down...

ah you had to spoil the fun!

Bet the stingray felt a bit left out!

so guessing the price of the aforementioned Berg HG310 you would need to have quite a big band before IEM got more expensive

always the way- shop is judged on shifting new units of stuff, take PX in and secondhand to help that happen - but will price it to sell as the cash flow is more important than the potential value of the item... someone else thinks it's underpriced they buy it and try to sell it for more, because likely for them the potential value of the item is more important than the cashflow.

for a bit of wider reading this is also good: https://reverb.com/news/interview-fender-visionary-dan-smith-on-how-to-turn-around-a-faltering-guitar-brand I really don't know what offends people about JV Squier being appreciated.

I saw that and wished I lived up there. Glad it’s gone to one of us lot

Heck no- they are more or less done...and all the spindles, just the last bit of snagging to go. The problem has been what with the big old DIY job, a stressful full time job and wanting to be a half decent husband and daddy I wore myself down, got sick with a chest infection and didn’t get better... so I’ve abandoned the hallway in its “almost finished” state, been off work in bed and taking anti biotics the doctor perscribed for the last three days. I had a bit more energy today and decided that if I was going to do something with it it would be what I wanted to do - rather than this blooming hallway... so first coat of paint on the box and I took my daughter to the library you didn’t need to know all that but it’s been a horrid month of feeling rubbish! My bass playing isn’t really affected apart from ‘stage demeanour’ but seeing that it’s been playing at church it is not that important I’m not putting on a show! but thanks for asking, radiators fitted on Monday!

I’ve just come within a whisker of ordering a grill - then tried my insect mesh grill cloth and it actually looked ok over the black baffel so erm until my frame falls to pieces I may stick with that

Also - my tip - buy the metal grill as Stevie recommends - the frame for the grill cloth is turning out to be harder work than it would have been just buying the metal grill

Ooh - it’s beginning to look like a real cab!

@Bill Fitzmaurice - given that no ones actually played them, and you’re not the biggest fan of bass reflex speakers generally .... what’s your view on this kinda setup?

When I was looking though the plans I did wonder if the height being perfect width for rack gear was by accident or design

What do you think Elbow and Michael Kiwanuka we’re singing about?

ACME make a cab with forward and rear facing speakers too, a 2x12 I think

+1 sometimes, for a bunch of musicians, this place is quick to slag off and slow to listen and say anything positive.

Btw there’s a shop on eBay selling these coloured cabs with free shipping if anyone’s interested

Looks great - I can’t wait to get mine more finished.

Erm - I don’t know for sure but what happens if you turn dry thru down to 0?

yes - but it is a technical drawing that a vector program like illustrator can get into. The 148mm will be the outer dimension of it - so a 150mm hole for a 148mm thing sounds about right. If you want me to work out the placement of the holes from that drawing I can do. On a tangent. - I worked out all the measurements for my stair's spindles to millimetre perfection... only to find the friction of 30 "perfect" joints meant it just didn't fit....
