This is the funniest thing that i have read for ages.Great story. [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='798513' date='Apr 7 2010, 11:16 AM']Howard, I asked Gregg about that cab and this was his reply which I felt compelled to share (with his permission): [b]So did you remember making that 4x18 cab for Bumper Brown? Did it ever get an airing at a gig? [/b] [i]Where do I start? We built it in our first workshop in Handyside arcade, no 59. It had a inch and a half front and the same for the back which was built like a safe door. We fitted the loudspeakers with the cab lying on the floor of the workshop and fitted the "safe door" back. We could feel the pressurised air in the cab hissing out as the back slowly seated in. We then realised that we couldn't lift it! We had to wait until the next day when 6 arcade workmen could help us lift it upright and then we tested it. We used a Burman SL100 powerpack, pre amp and a Fender Precision bass. We connected everything and I hit the bottom open E string and the whole system went dead. (Were the loudspeakers too much for the amp or what? The amp was still on so what was the problem?) Then we could all smell gas! The pressure of air escaping from the sealed cab had 'spat' the jack plug out of the socket on the back of the cab! I think we were then one of the first companies to use EP series XLR connectors to our big cabs. The high pressured stream of air had blown out an industrial gas fire about 8 feet away in one split second long, quarter inch wide jet of air. By the way, try and get a copy of 'The Nice' book, Keith Emerson's bass player mentions his 4x12 and 4x15 in 1 cab as well! The cab was his idea but I got the blame from their roadies! When they were on tour I would get calls in the middle of the night from Baz Ward (tour manager) obviously at the gig. The phone would ring, wake me up, and all he would say was "Burman, you're a bastard", and then he would hang up! Anyway, a local band called 'This Years Girl' wanted to try it so they took it to the Lacarno Ballroom in Sunderland for a gig. I gave strict instructions DO NOT SWITCH IT ON UNTIL I GET THERE! As I arrived the bass player had switched on the amp, plugged in his bass and was about to pluck the bottom E string. Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! Everything went slow motion as i moved towards him. He hit the string and all the glasses of the previous nights drinking just disappeared from the top of a grand piano. I don't mean vibrated off the top, they actually disappeared and smashed to the floor!! Light fittings in the ceiling fell out and crashed to the floor! Worse still, people standing by the bar at the back of the room looked like they were vomiting beer!! I turned from the stage area and ran towards these people. As i ran from the stage to the bar, an distance of about 20 yards, i could feel the air waves of low frequency going up and down my body which made me feel nauseous. At the bar, the bass was punching and hitting everyone including me in the throat! I discovered that the people at the bar weren't being sick as such, they were physically incapable of swallowing their beer! I managed to reach the main switch behind the bar and everthing came to an abrupt end. Of course the bass player turned round oblivious to the mayhem and destruction that had happened. To him the sound on stage had sounded normal but the cab was producing ultra low frequency that is unaudible to the human ear but can destroy your internal organs at high volumes! I can't remember Bumper Brown taking delivery of the cab! In fact I can't remember much at all after that episode - it's a blank.[/i][/quote]

[quote name='The Bass Doc' post='966709' date='Sep 24 2010, 02:08 PM']Well I also thought that too much birdseye would make for a less stable neck but all I can say is this one's OK - gets played regularly and I am about to re-string it with flats before it goes back to the owner. I reckon it'll take them as it's already 33 years old and hasn't shown any signs of instability.......................yet. (La Bellas are waiting!).[/quote] The Jazz that you built for me,with the birdseye neck,has never needed adjustment since new.

The Huck to join/re form The Faces ?

I admit it,i do this to annoy our guitard.E#.A# etc.

Who are Muse ?

There are.

Overpriced Jazz copy.For the price i'd want something a bit more original than that,no matter how good the fit and finish is.

Me.

No problems with mine whatsoever,been using them for years,and will continue to do so.

Security blanket 5 string Jazz,does everything,and new fangled Precision for less rocky numbers.

"Why do we call them kettle leads?"..........we can if we want,why do people call vacum cleaners Hoovers ?

I just wish they'd do a short scale EB3,with or without bolt neck.

OH BUG9ER.

Playing covers never hurt The Rolling Stones/Led Zeppeiln or any ammount of bands.

Circuit breakers kept in the band van with extension leads.
