Oh my the CAR is beautiful, something out of the ordinary, right up my street, lovely. Bit pricey for a pensioner like me but you never know!!!!

Back in the early 70s a bassist friend of mine used to use 6 ins nails to nail his Vox Foundation cab to the stage floor to stop it moving forward. Happy days 😎

Anyone know what PUPs are used on the Fender Flea and the Modulus Flea. Really liked what the Fender Flea could do, sounded great to my ears.

Who'd buy a guitar without a headstock anyway. You'd never get it in tune. (I'll get my coat)

Guilty as charged M'Laud🤐

No plate. Cool, understated, beautiful veneered top. Looking forward to seeing the finished bass.

WoW I bet it's great for Metal

Yes Wing Commander you are absolutely correct Sir. I bought the Tele Bass necks at different times and the second one is a bit "Orff" a Nant's, but as I was adding a larger decal the extra real estate works a treat. I plan to post a diary of my P51 3/4 upgrade in the coming days. Roger 10-4 O A O

+1 for the "jinwan" necks. I've had 2 Tele Bass necks and one Jazz neck and they've been great. All three had the MoP block inlays on maple boards with gloss finish and are great. As @RichardH points out the headstock is not quite 100% but 98% in my veiw and a man on a galloping horse is not going to notice!

Enjoy. A nice bottle of Chianti and strong mature cheddar will soothe the vibes henceforth 😎 Or a gallon rough cyder. ( each to their own)

I run a Rumble 800HD or a Rumble 500 thro 1 or 2 Super Compacts depending on the venue. I find the Fender Rumbles very pleasing to my ears. They offer a great tone when set flat and have a very usable tone stack to create a wide variety of sounds. The latest 800HD amps seems to have flat tone that is a little more mid forward than older 500 design, but can easily tweeked to taste. The older 500 front end seemed warmer somehow. BTW the Rumble 500 paired with my single One10 is a lovely mini rig for some of the pub jam sessions I used to enjoy before the lockdown and can easily compete with the Fender Rumble 500 combo. I have to agree with @alexclaber that the One10 can shift as much air as a normal 2 x 10ins cab.

Snap 😎 Bought the Charlie Parker book for bass, which has some really tasteful riffs.

Don't think so as the ports are front facing. I too occasionally stack my 2 SC on their side and I don't hear any difference. I definitely hear a difference when running my One10 on it's side. It sits on an angled Stagg stand and the bottom end just seems fuller and richer, as if the port needed to be off the floor. Okay someone is going to say that I'm loosing the "coupling effect " that occurs when bass cabs are sat on the floor but the One10 appears to sound better to my ears.(which are 68 yrs old and were abused in the 70s while playing in front of loud two 2x4x12 stacks😆)

Dunc, place the One10s on their side. Lowers the height but allows the base facing ports to extend the bass response out of the side of the stack. Believe me it really makes a difference. Enjoy your lovely, lovely rig.

Yup, these add to an already extensive Sire Marcus Miller. The range seems to offer something for every bass player at price points to meet all pockets. I absolutely love the roasted hard rock maple necks & fretboards. The V5 passive appears to be a workhorse bass really appeals to me 😎

Now that is a beautiful piece of wood.😎 I'm really looking forward to seeing it after the Tru-oil is finished. Looks like another great project!
