    I've got a kind of prog-ish doom style original band, I play bass. I'm in process of getting a Mk IV head cleaned up and installed in a plywood sleeve I made, and I'm thinking about running it into an Ampeg PR410HLF cab, 600w @4 ohms. The Mk IV is rated at 250w, 4 ohms. In my experience, Trace heads seem to deliver more than that. I'm thinking this'll be loud as Godzilla with a stubbed toe in a mix with two loud guitars and big drums, playing some melodically complex bass lines. Can I get witness?

    First word back in the amp is that the power section seems stable. The big blue caps are in good shape, so far so good. My tech guy had to clean up the fan, it was lousy with hardened crud- but once he got it free up it was working just fine. The preamp is next... And the sleeve is looking ok. I'm bringing it to the big panel saw to do a cut-back on the front panel section- like you see in a lot of these sleeves- so you can see the uv lit front panel from above. Then I'll rattle-can it with some black forest green and finish it up with some old hardware I've got in a box, somewhere around here...

    So I've got the amp at the shop, dude's taking his time because I was clear I'm not in a hurry, all's well. I'm getting the sleeve shaped up, but I neglected to get the dimensions of the casing for the UV light. Anyone happen to know how high that dimension is? I want to do a back-cut at the front, as you might see in the later models... And so I can see the controls (the reason for it I guess) when it's sitting on a half-stack, single cabinet. It won't be exactly to spec, but it'll do the thing. I just want to do the cut without exposing the end of the UV case... Thanks. πŸ™‚

    Tacky, cheese, yes. But Kustom's web site says it's active in the gain stage.

    Well let's not waste a good revival! Has anyone seen/tried the new class-D Kustom heads? https://kustom.com/product-detail/?id=2609

    I had a Kustom Groove 310C Groove combo. It was beastly. Sounded great, and the loudest amp I've ever played. It was also very heavy, and getting it up and down stone steps, the fact that I annoyed sound-people, and the fact that it really just wanted to be so effing loud, were the reasons I sold it. I kinda wish I had it now though. It would be the right stuff for my stoner/doom band.

    Just read the review, that was concise and well-written, @JGSpector. I'm now one step closer to seeking one out, though honestly I'm ready to pull that trigger ass soon as I'm able! It's time for a new amp, this has moved to the top of the list.

    Drilled and parts set in place. To the bench this weekend, and I'll have a couple weeks to make the sleeve look like something.

    Thanks! I was very much already put at ease with this when I saw it was a nearly-snug fit. Just enough room to get it in there without a serious fight, and a little space above for air. Yeah wood is cool to work with, especially when it's your own project. 😎 No more combo? I've subbed that, took a Peavey Combo 300 and made it head-only, because of the weight. I ended up loaning it to a guy and never saw it again. Teach me to be a nice guy! That was a good solid gig amp.

    Well sock it to me! She fits. Gluing 'er up and setting screws, off to the bench... You may notice the butt-joint at bottom-right. Somehow I made a wrong cut on the top and bottom pieces, but has enough left over so I could adjust the width (height, properly oriented) of that side. The shape is still true, it just looks wonky. Some Epoxy and Duratex'll hide that badge of shame... πŸ™‚

    Thank you! That should be very helpful, yessir.
