  1. Nope, the "batwing" headstock was very heavy and caused quite a bit of neck dive. Easy to cure with an appropriate strap but I feel that the 2 + 2 headstock is more pleasing to the eye and way more practicable. Intonation will be interesting ??
  2. Just bought a Crown Power amp from Gerry, a wonderful guy to deal with. First class comms, stupendous packaging skills, and meticulous attention to detail. Purchase with confidence and ease. Great Guy. Thanks Gerry
  3. Just ordered mine, will be here tomorrow!! I have been waiting years for Epiphone to re-issue the Newporter. I owned one in 1969 and traded in for a Gibson EB3 which I still own.
  4. Still available at £40 plus postage.
  5. @chyc when you complete your project could you post a sonic review of your handywork? Could you compare your achievement with other cabs you have used?
  6. Any chance or writing a sonic review of your excellent handywork ? How does it sound compared to other cabs you have used? What are disadvantages of the BC112 compared to the LFSys Monaco you demo'd?
  7. Wow that's a posh school!!
  8. I am a fan of the DiMarzio Split P DP127 I have them fitted to three of my P basses. I have always found the very broad range of tones produced by the Split P to be very satisfying. Matched with a good quality loom ( @KiOgon) the Pup is capable of offering huge tonal variety. Yes , you need to use your particular amp EQ to deliver your tonal needs from a powerful pup. I do not subscribe to the view that the PD127 is too boomy, you just need to use your ears to control your sound using your amps EQ. Simples!!
  9. I have a Subway D 800 and use it through two Barefaced Super Compacts. The combination of Mesa D800 and Barefaced has proved very versatile tonally for my needs. Provides a loud solution for Rock (Anthrax, Deep Purple, Bad Company), flexible for country rock covers (Eagles, CCR, and the like). Versatile with just one BF SC for pop & Jukebox covers. Light, well built, runs down to 2 Ohms and very well centred EQ controls, deep switch that works! and great,silent pre/post DI output. Not cheap but will probably out live lots of the others mentioned above.
  10. I just love the way Bill tells it!!
  11. Lindy Fralin split 51'P with the 10% over wound are awesome. Retaining the 51' P character with a hum cancelling clear,wide range of tones.
  12. Yup that would my way forward. Superb Bass @scrumpymike congratulations.
  13. Dam fine looking bass. Am I correct that there is no Pup selector switch? Love the black version
  14. Well, today I took delivery of a G&L Tribute Fallout bass in candy apple Red with maple neck and fret board. Set up was great, fretboard finish was smooth with no protruding frets . Fantastic service from Guitar Guitar. Absolutely amazing tonal range on offer, very pleased indeed no QC issues whatsoever.. Just saying
  15. I had a few Kmise maple neck & fret board Jazz types and were fine, really good value for money. But the best ones were from "jingwan" maple neck & fret board, white bound with MoP(?) block inlays and gloss finish. Two were '51 P type with Jazz wideth neck and one was typical Jazz type. All three were great, delivered within a week and you can see the results on some of my Build diaries. As @Aidan63 said the seller seems to have disappeared off the Bay.
  16. Why do you feel you need 2 Silverstones? How do you plan to use both, will you be switching off the horn on one of the cabs or stacking the top cab upside down?
  17. Or if you prefer not to solder this is a neat solution. Connector Dish with 2 x NL4MP Speakons and Terminal Block £12.50 IN STOCK (31 Oct 2022) (bluearan.co.uk) http://www.bluearan.co.uk/index.php?id=TUFF87182NA
  18. Still for sale
  19. REDUCED TO £40
  20. +1 I've had an Alder P bass body from Northwest and it was superb.
  21. I am not sure that @stevie used the Fatial 12Pr 320 that was in the BC Mk3 cab. I saw @Chienmortbb did not commit to answering your question and left it for @stevie to confirm officially. Now that the LFSys products are launched it maybe unwise to disclose publicly the precise model used in the cab system. Clearly there is a need for protecting LFSys IP.
