I think I need a second mortgage.. £220 a pair eh? But will keep in mind!

Interesting

Oh no... not another "What Pickup..." thread.. sorry,yes... Anyhow, bass is Jazz shaped, Mahogany back, maple top, bird's eye maple neck, ebony board. I'm [u]not[/u] afer a vintage sound, but almost one with Rickenbacker growl, punch and treble if you see what I mean. Cavities have not been routed yet, so I'm open to pursuasion. I've read the reviews etc, but thought I would open it to the wider collective - you. There will be an active pre-amp on the bass, volume for each pickup and bass/treble. Thank you in advance for all replies!

Anyone seen [url="http://www.guitarbuild.co.uk/"]http://www.guitarbuild.co.uk/[/url] ? At least the customisable options are there and you can design a 2 piece swamp ash J body, fully routed and shaped so you can do away with the pickguard and show off the wood... £160.

Ok - Just to finish off... Thanks for the advice - After writing this I picked up upon a Warwick 4x10, mint condition.... £140. Well happy! I guess buying 4 drivers at £85/100 each was a no-no... However a 1x15 cab with a replacemnet driver is more economic of course, shoud I wish to go that way!!

You may well have a point there, I'm keeping a watch on those auction forums...

TBH This is the way I want to go, I was a Luthier back in the dim and distant past, and made everything myself from wood blanks, so spraying a guitar up won't be too much of a problem. Regards the hardware (- or shoud I start another thread!) what's popular these days? I was used to making pickup blanks from figured maple and sending them to Kent Armstrong to wind/mould them for me.... I've see some great reviews and comments for Alun Entwhistle's Neo pickups... Schaller Machines? Badass bridge? you tell me!

Ok Guys, it's probably been done to death but I thought I'll ask... I have a 4x10 cab that I have refurbished and want to put four new speakers in. The old ones really are... old... and knackered. The cab does not have a head yet, but it's not going to be overly powerful, 150W ish. It probably won't be gigged either just as rather a loud practice amp. I've decided to learn bass at a ripe old age, having been in and out of bands most of my life. I've worked with guys who have gone through Trace Elliots, Hughes& Kettner & so forth so a 20W practice amy aint going to cut it!! Anyways, back to the post. Yes I can replace with Eminence, spending around £200, and of course you get what you pay for. Anyone care to recommend me 4 cheap (hopefully) 10" 50W drivers Cheers, Steve
