Look what I found: [attachment=9049:0006open.jpg] [url="http://www.musicgadgets.net/2006/12/27/scott-french-travel-guitar/"]http://www.musicgadgets.net/2006/12/27/sco...-travel-guitar/[/url] Looks a lot like the Status Streamliner.

I can't see a reason why not.

All the technical and sonic nuances tend to get a bit lost in some rehearsal and stage situations because of the sheer number of variables involved[/quote] But at least if it sounds like crap, you'll be able to make sure its efficiently produced.

[quote name='chris_pokkuri' post='205068' date='May 23 2008, 03:58 PM']Hmmm, now I am thinking maybe a 2x12 and a 2x10. Anyone have any experience playing with this setup?[/quote] Right now, it would be my ideal set up as a pair of neo cabs.

I use leathergraft straps - the 4" wide, delux leather ones. Nothing else out there feels as good to me so I got 5 of them. [url="http://www.leathergraft.co.uk/sample.php?swf=deluxe_padded"]http://www.leathergraft.co.uk/sample.php?swf=deluxe_padded[/url]

On my cutlass and stingray I have the following : bass +75%, treble +50% or less depending on how old vintage-y I need the sound.

Based on my limited experience, 10" cones don't focus the low frequencies very well. I'm a fan of 12" cones but you gotta match your set up to the character of your bass. I think 10" cones might sound better with a bright sounding bass like a Spector or Pedulla. 12" cones would sound better with a lower mid prominent bass like a Stingray or Warwick, 15" cones are good with p-bass and the thuddier kinds of vintage designs. I love my EBS neo212, it seems to be all things to all my basses. For a bass that is midscooped like a jazz, a 2x10" and 1x15" offers a nice combination too.

Mark, if you're looking for dep work drop me your details. Mike Brooks normally deps for me but if he's unavailable it would be useful to have a back up.

Man, just get a 1u Class D power amp and run it with your Trace V-type preamp. Personally I'd be looking at a combination of 10" and 12" cabinets though.

Yes, me too. He says he'll be sending some over soon. The neck will be left to settle for quite a few months and then replaned so hopefully its going to be reasonably stable. I suspect the fingerboard will be super dense puriri but we'll see. I'm really looking forward to seeing what the body shape will look like when he gets around to doing that.

Update, he's just glued the neck. He's selected a 7 piece laminate consisting of heart kowhai, tawhai (NZ silver beech) and kohekohe (NZ mahogany). Have to say I don't have a clue what they sound like and Ian is charting new territory as well. The kowhai is very very dense (comes from an old fence post) and the kohekohe is soft so I guess its been choosen for tone.

Have you noticed the size of his pupils in that face shot? They're ENORMOUS!! Almost like he's on something.
