[quote name='bertbass' timestamp='1468267453' post='3089766'] Once I've finished the build and confirmed that everything fits together as it should, I shall be making kits available. If anyone is interested, P.M. me. [/quote] Capital!

This looks like one of those projects Glowforge would have on their webshop! Awesome work! What laser cutter do you have, by the way? Been tempted by one of the cheapo chinese 30w ones as I enjoy tinkering...

Now there's a good question! Just thinking out loud I would assume you can do without the capo. I believe the capo is just to remove the variable of nut height/slot depth, which is already taken care of with the zero fret. Interested to hear a more experienced take on this though...

And there was me all happy with my 3leaf Enabler.... This might be more me...

[quote name='Geddys nose' timestamp='1467876453' post='3086835'] Not done one of these in a few years. [url="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/onebassplayer/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-07/20160706_170534_zps2aul6c1q.jpg.html"][/url] [/quote] As one of my kid's books says: "Oh my gosh and golly"... Was just thinking that revalving either of those heads would probably cost about the same as buying the Laney combo sitting next to your rig!

[quote name='sblueplanet' timestamp='1467758723' post='3086072'] Be interesting to know how the bass plays strung as BEAD with the longer string length on the lower strings. [/quote] The speaking length of the string is no different and neither is the string tension so it will make no difference whatsoever...

[quote name='TAzMilitello' timestamp='1467789929' post='3086182'] Uh! Thanks...Bergantino makes active speakers, too? I did not know this! Thanks man! Great Bergantino cabs! [/quote] They don't make them any more, but made a 1x12 and 3x10 for a few years.

My initial thought was the barefaced one you mentioned. Owen has a Bergantino IP112 for sale at the minute which would fit the bill too.

They build to spec... If what you want matches the specs of the J and P neck they use! I asked about a 50s/60s P neck and they couldn't do it. Things may have changed...

That's a good point - what's your input signal like? Is it healthy enough to drive the Markbass effectively?

More speakers would help you more than more watts. Add another super compact. I say that knowing it's not cheap or easy to do, but the results would be better than adding more wattage.

Russian Circles fan are we Andy?

[quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1466767076' post='3078564'] Thanks Ian. Your new bass looks fab as well [/quote] Thanks Gareth, I'm pretty happy with it I have to say!

[quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1466763630' post='3078514'] Just to be super fussy, does anyone else wish they'd use black screws/bolts to hold the speakers in? [/quote] The vintage grill takes care of that!

Looking good Gareth! Not long to go now.

So... This arrived today! So chuffed!

Always wanted one of these in sunburst... One day...

Sadowsky m24 or r24?

[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1465828041' post='3071322'] Approaching the end here. Should have my ACG soon. All the woodwork is done, but don't have a final date yet... [/quote] And we have final pics! Just a setup left to do and she'll be winging her way over the Irish Sea!

+1. Stop visiting said repair person IMMEDIATELY!!! That's the oldest and potentially most damaging bodge in the book, second only to replacing the fuse with a nail or bit of foil! Now if the fuse SHOULD be failing to protect the rest of the amp it won't. Cue the magic smoke smell...

Have you got another cab you can try with the amp? A goosed crossover will certainly be an issue for an amp (depending on the manner in which it is goosed of course!).

Approaching the end here. Should have my ACG soon. All the woodwork is done, but don't have a final date yet...

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1465643845' post='3069873'] The OC-2 is somewhat more expensive, around £80, but maybe I could substitute this with a cheaper equivalent, and Robert is your mother's brother! [/quote] The Chord oc-50 is the job for you. Under £25 delivered on Amazon at the minute. One of my favourite octavers I've tried. Preferred it to the MXR Bass Octave Deluxe I had just before it and it tracked to a low G pretty repeatable. Also it has a switchable drive option that dirtiest the octave sound which might mean you don't need the distortion pedal. If it were me I'd be tempted to go with the Chord and a used EHX Micro Qtron (or a mini qtron for preference if you can find one and don't mind the very un-mini size) for the most synthy fun...
