Spoke to mike today, its all done bar the transfer for the headstock and a final set up

The EAD Foundation is an awesome cab. Love my Berg NV412 too!

Still in final testing. Dave mentioned that he was going to test some other crossovers and stuff before pulling the trigger on production

My EAD Foundation 212 is the best made, finished sounding cab i have ever owned and does not have the same homemade feel that the barefaced i trialed had IMO

Couple of bad pics of my Foundation 212 and Purple Chili Phat bass head [IMG]http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp287/spongebob_sqaurepants/IMAG0015.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp287/spongebob_sqaurepants/IMAG0003.jpg[/IMG]

Just got off the phone with mike. This should be done by next week Originally i was going to have the headstock blacked like the body but decided to leave natural after seeing the pictures. Mike is very pleased with the build and says the fretboard looks even better now its been laquared. Pups are made customs for my bass made by Wizard.

the old hymns are always a laugh. Chord changes every half bar and always in Eb!!!

I should add i'm a christian bass player and play in my local Baptist church when i can. I just make up basslines from the chord charts. Very loose and very fun and have managed to include an envelope filter on a couple!

I believe its based on the one he made for Norman Watt Roy not the groovemeister but i could be wrong!

yeah, it is a bit more jazzy than precisiony!

Well I took some pic's and have now found a few spare minutes to upload them.

just don't order! Walk away and relax!

didn't think the distance selling regs applied to 'custom' items

I have heard the vanderkley 112's and they are fantastic cabs. Another to consider is the new to the market EAD Foundation 212. Info in the affiliates forum. This is great 212 with tweeter and mid plus a custom point to point crossover. The build quality and attention to detail is staggering and unlike anything i've owned before. Definitely worth checking out
