Wow what a thread but it's been beautiful looking before in your 'imperfect' stages so am really looking forward to the finished and perfect article!! Good luck matey

I like meaningless/helpful derogatory fun! things I hate / have grown to hate over the years... Ashdown - am well on the bandwagon there! flabby and gritty nastiness with pointless Spinal Tap 'how fast are you playing meter' Mark-Bass - sorry guys, flappy, farty rubbish - cabs and amps G&L basses, sound lovely with brand new strings but sound exactly like soggy cardboard when strings are 2 days old! that is all...for now

a mate of mine (Martin) worked for Matamp as a builder and is now going solo [url="http://www.martamp.com/"]http://www.martamp.com/[/url] he mostly does all valve guitar amps but he does do nice cab builds too...ask him for a quote (and a timescale - he's usually quite busy), lovely guy though.

frickin laugh out loud awesome!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the party!

I really like the sound of my PJB Bass Buddy! it works really well as a headphone amp as well as a DI preamp straight to a desk...comes in a nice little carry case with a strap too!

Now its just a question of which order you get them in.[/quote] I've had four out of the six (several of each in fact), will likely never have a Fodera and haven't ever tried a yam that I liked...maybe one of the ones that myung used to play might be ok I suppose?

Have you tried looking at completed listings on ebay to see if any have been sold recently? This is usually my first port of call when pricing gear up... "anything is only worth what someone will pay for it..."

[quote name='neepheid' post='1281638' date='Jun 24 2011, 11:05 PM']They won't pay out even if you pay for the insurance - musical instruments are explicitly excluded from enhanced compensation. Do yourself a favour and boycott ParcelForce - they are absolutely no use to you, the insurance mis-selling gits.[/quote] I never knew that! I'm shocked and disgusted!! [url="http://www2.parcelforce.com/send-worldwide/delivery-times-worldwide-destinations/prohibitions"]http://www2.parcelforce.com/send-worldwide...ns/prohibitions[/url] It's right there but they don't tell you at the post office counter!! Appalling!!

Mine took a long long time but it really is lovely, you need a lot of patience but the end result is v pleasing! I sent weekly emails chatting and checking for update and always found him helpful and communicative.

What did you use to fill/stuff the cab?

That looks very smart! It's exactly what I'm about to try to build!

simple thought to throw in... bass - essentially for single notes (with a bit of chording) guitar - chords ahoy (with a bit of single note stuff) 2 different beasts for 2 different purposes even with the tonal crossover?

Hiya, Check out Dave's builds, he's in the US but does Fender type stuff that's really really good! I got a p from him last year and it's amazing! [url="http://www.certainbass.com/"]http://www.certainbass.com/[/url]
