Bought some Wizard Pickups from Stinson, perfect = as described, great comms and fast delivery. Many thanks Neil

Just bought some Mark Bass rack ears from Mark, great comms and super fast delivery. Many thanks Neil.

Hi Pete, I got this guy to make up a custom grill for a cab I had which was missing a grill- cost about £25 for a 4x10" cab a few years back. http://www.speakergrills.co.uk/ Neil

Yeah I love Jeff Ament, but three amps and a total of 28 speakers live just seems slightly excessive...

[s]Hi Everyone, 4 free tuition books as shown in picture, I can post them all for £5 if someone wants them. The Hal Leonard book comes with a play along flexidisc !!!- ha ha[/s] Now ggggone, thanks for the interest. Cheers Neil

Hello, You are correct about cheap inverters having rough (pseudo sine) AC output. I've always used Antares equipment ([url="http://www.antares.co.uk/"]http://www.antares.co.uk/[/url]) to provide true sine AC output on the battery powered vehicles I have worked on- though it's not cheap, but essential for expensive computing equipment and pretty efficient too. 1. I would get yourself something like a diesel car/ marine battery >60Ah, the bigger the better, you can get a battery pretty cheap- or even look out for a discarded one which may be fine with a bit of proper conditioning. Battery science can be quite complex and dividing the Ah of the battery by the your load is only ball park figure,there is inefficiency so using a large battery with lots of Ah will be a good start. I've used simple lead acid batteries for traction batteries in deep discharge mode successfully- which would be like your application, but having more Ah is better as batteries can unpredictably "fall over/die" without warning on a heavy discharge cycle towards their lower limit. 2. Car power amps don't seem to have controls on them-just input/ output and power supply remote. So the output is proportional to the input they receive from a source, like a car stereo- I guess this will be in the range of 0-2V(max) You will need a simple 12V DC pre-amp module to take the bass output to the power amp input. Bass -> 12V DC preamp (with tone and master volume ctrl) -> 12V DC power amp (car amp) -> Speaker Something like this might be fine,with master volume, treble and bass-although the input impedance sensitivity may not be great for a bass, they do a "guitar preamp" kit too, they are so cheap too and simple to modify/ play with.

There are loads of Class D power amp module/kits on bay from China, some of which may be fine if you don't already have a car power amp. If your a putting it all in the same enclosure, consider a proper grounding strategy and heat sinking/cooling if you are using a simple Class D power amp module. Hope that helps
