Yeah come on, own it!

Go faster stripe? A nice sky blue would work.

That is very....orange.

And I really do not like the look of overhanging cabs either (see above). That is nearly as bad as poor string alignment on a bass!

I notice the Alain Caron combo sports different speaker sizes, what gives?

I have read people on Talkbass saying that the 115 Traveller works with the102p, hence my interest. I didn’t consider that EQ might be an issue, but now I am. I do like the sound of 10” speakers for sure.

Anyone have experience of adding a 115 cab to the 102p? I'm feeling GAS.

Just don't use it as a stool, and sit back suddenly, laughing at a joke or something..

What a pleasure to observe a craftsperson at work. Thank you for letting us see your work.

That looks great, love that TV yellow. Reminds me of Jeff Beck Strats.

Very interesting pickup indeed. I would to know how it sounds.

Wow! Shiny! Is that bridge pickup the same dimensions as an MM humbucker?

Yup, I forgot to mention the tilt back facility, very useful.

True dat. I’m not a fan of distortion or drive type sounds anyways. But I have tried a few drive pedals with it, and it sounds okay, but what would I know?

I have the CMD102p. Really great combo, no regrets.

Well, I got me an SR500 a couple of weeks ago, and I am very pleased with it indeed. It has the Barts which get not much love, but I am totally digging on this thing. Light, nicely made, great neck. Pity about the turd brown finish, but maybe a coat of Liberon finishing oil might jazz it up a tad. It sounds great! It's my first active bass. I also picked up a Sterling Sub Ray 4 last week, and the Ibanez is way more versatile, but I like them both very much. Both are great bang for buck. Now, I just need a fretless version of the Ibby. Maybe I'll get me a 370e and yank the frets out. How does that sound, people?

I’ve got a couple of pieces of Rocklite Ebano here. They are thin veneers, which would be suitable for headstock facings. The grain is quite open and very regular, it seems to me, and maybe a little soft. I think Christine’s idea that it may be plant fibre could be on the money.

That’s larvely that is.

It’s not magnolia, it’s buttercream.

I think there is a case for a small Cabronita plate, as suggested above. And then maybe you could afford to make that to make that a tort one..

Oddly, I don’t recognise any of those names, but I’m pretty sure I saw Chaconne. I just about remember Jimmy Grant’s! Great to reminisce with you, Eddie! I think we’ve hijacked this thread! Maybe there needs to be a Caledonian Club thread on Basschat.. All the best Stu

I think I remember your band! Can you name some of the members? I mostly hung with the Cado Belle/Croppa/Celebrate/Motels crew, who just wanted to be American when it was still ok to want that. I knew the Blue Nile boys, and did some art for them when they were the White Hats and the Parades. I totally bet I know you, at least to nod to in the venues you mention, or La Bonne Auberge or Nico’s!

Tort? Just saying.

What was your band called?
