Oh yes, proper nice! It's really coming along now. RK

Unlikely I know, but if you found yourself 'oop north', you would be welcome to try mine with your cabs. RK

[quote name='Chris Horton' timestamp='1417817075' post='2624382'] I am coming round to this amp. It looks fantastic You did a nice job making the amp case. I am hoping to try the amp out at some point , maybe pop up to bass direct and have a play [/quote] Thanks Chris! I'm very happy with the case, and over the moon with the amp. Well worth a trip to see Mark at Bassdirect to try one out. RK

Ah, nice one Captain! It looks fantastic, is the finish line in sight? RK

Nice work! RK

Wow! Looking good enough to eat! Lovely finish mate RK

[quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1417191550' post='2618069'] I remember you describing one of your other projects as "comedy joinery". More of the same high quality comedy joinery here. Propper job. [/quote] Thanks! Can't beat a bit of comedy, ha ha RK

[quote name='40hz' timestamp='1417183386' post='2617900'] I'm super pleased with Robin's work, the sleeve is built and finished to a high degree. Honestly as good as a Trace specific one. Absolute gent to deal with too! [/quote] Thanks Simon, glad you are pleased with it! Have you tracked down a 4x10 cabinet yet? Robin

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1417178543' post='2617813'] Another excellent little amp case, niice one [/quote] Thanks! 40Hz is well pleased with it. RK

Another amp sleeve built, this one for basschat member 40Hz. Simon (40Hz) had a Trace Elliot 1x15 combo with a GP12 amp, and the driver was on its last legs. After looking to replace the speaker with a more modern neo-equipped cabinet (MarkBass being favourite), discussions began regarding a re-sleeve for the GP12. The amp was removed from the redundant combo, and shipped up to sunny Cumbria for a spot of surgery: [IMG]http://i59.tinypic.com/2mmwzg2.jpg[/IMG] The amp bolts into the combo from above, and is ventilated front to rear, which makes the sleeve fairly straightforward to construct. I started by making a top for the sleeve, with the mounting holes in it: [IMG]http://i61.tinypic.com/34hf3oh.jpg[/IMG] Nest step was to make a bottom piece to match the top, and some sides to suit: [IMG]http://i59.tinypic.com/2zy9d7r.jpg[/IMG] Then the usual joinery stuff, gluing up, rounding over and dowelling the corner joints: [IMG]http://i60.tinypic.com/oh60ko.jpg[/IMG] I also fitted repair (penny) washers inside the top of the sleeve so that the amp fastens up against these rather than just pulling against the wood, which would eventually compress. A small point, I know, but a useful improvement/enhancement. Then it was on to a spot of carpet work, corner protectors, and rubber feet: [IMG]http://i61.tinypic.com/a9qt7d.jpg[/IMG] Then in with the amp, box it up, and send back to Simon! [IMG]http://i62.tinypic.com/zxmi5w.jpg[/IMG] All in all, a very straightforward and enjoyable project, and a great end result that ensures the Trace continues to be used, but with a shiny new Markbass cabinet! Job jobbed. thank you please RK

Nice bass, great workmanship! Congrats RK

No worries chaps, apparently he has found a tech over in the Newcastle area, Newcastle Regis, that is. Or is it Upon-Tyne? Anyways, he's got it sorted. Thanks RK

Ho Ho, good one!

Great work, and a lovely bass at the end of it all. Congrats RK

Thanks Sean, I've just given Martins details to my pal after reading your build thread. Killer amp, btw, RK

Hello Basschatters, my guitarist uses a Bogner amp, and it has gone POP in a big way. He is reluctant to allow 'just anyone' to put hands on it. Does anyone know of a good (preferably Bogner-familiar) amp tech in the north (Manchester and above) who would examine and repair this monster amp? Any assistance gratefully received RK

Wow, that is lovely! Congratulations RK

I suspect that a 4 pin Speakon plug won't go into a 2 pin socket, but a 2 pin plug fits a 4 pin socket. Or something like that...... RK

Fascinating build - I'm subscribed. Great skills! RK

Nice one! Subscribed RK
