Thanks all, location is Basingstoke Hampshire. RAY35 is pale blonde, VVGC but the thumb rest is a giveaway, being non-standard. The Ashdown speakers are in pretty good nick, the grilles are a little dented but no significant marks, because they had covers from new. The amp (might be Mag 350 - quite old) has some Tipex marks for EQ. What else might help? Mike

Hi all, Is there a place on the forum to post stolen equipment to watch out for? Specifically, a near mint blonde Ray35 modified with thumb rest, and some used Ashdown gear - 1×15 and 2x10 cabs, both with covers, and a used looking Mag ?350 head. Grrr... Mike

I'm in Basingstoke, and have my moments, if you are still looking... Hohner Jack, Fender Squire fretless, wicked loud Greenboy/TC electronics rig, all my own teeth...

I am in the final throes of building a 12/6 and 12sub pair. It isn't hard provided you have the right tools, and provided you can cut the wood accurately (or get someone to do that for you as a flat pack). The most important tools (IMHO) are several bar clamps... These are the huge clamps used to hold the major panels together whilst the glue cures, and you will really struggle without them. Hope that helps. PS me and a mate took the original designs and modified them ever so slightly to allow better stacking, and used routing to gut alignment grooves on major panels. This definitely helped. PPS: as you have noticed, don't expect this to be a cheap process! The drivers and electronics are expensive, but I suspect you are getting what you pay for.

8 months on, and I have persevered... I got one from the States but thought I couldn't cope with the 5 strings and put it up for sae here. Luckily, no-one bit, and I can now pretty much always hit the note I want... Mostly! More practise, more practise... Building a fEARful 12/6 and 12sub next week...

Bought a TC Electronics RH450 from Lee. Great communication, great amp, nice guy! Deal with confidence...
