  1. It's a Precision neck, but with a slimmer profile
  2. Bluddy well done sir. Keep up the good work. I'm starting to put some Lira into the piggybank
  3. The seller needs his own neck shimming
  4. A heat gun will work, but is fraught with danger. The difference between the layer of paint coming off and a big burn mark on the body is fine line. Dont try and and do it fast with the gun too close. Take it easy, be careful how you scrape off the melting paint. Scraper used forwards is easy to put a dirty great gouge in the wood. Better to use the scraper backwards. Just IMO, of course. The luthier guys here might have much better info
  5. I've done the same to any cabs or combos i;ve owned that have weighed a fair bit. I definately went for rubber, otherwise they're mentally loud on pavements and concrete. I used the the style with mount plate and 4 screw holes, as they're a doddle to fit. 75mm is a good choice for size too.
  6. Absolutely. He's a fabulous player no matter what he plays on.
  7. Loving it. What a beast 🦖
  8. If Oak is deemed as a tool blunter, what about Lignum Vitae ... i've heard that its the hardest / densest wood going and actually sinks if put in water
  9. Looking like a million $$$$$ already 🤩
  10. Isnt Limba also known as Korina ? Just curious. I think there's black and white Korina
  11. That Oak ! Lovely
  12. Although poor quality, i still see no fretlines, and with the best will in the world, it's hard to make old fretlines disappear , after been ripped out
  13. fleabag

    Wilkes

    What are those 2 rectangular patches at body end of the fretboard ? They look a little bit like brass
  14. I was thinking the same, but AFAIK, Andy didnt have a full width piece ( or matched 2 piece ) Purple H to cover the whole front. I would have gone for that otherwise. Still, that Purple sandwich is going to look stupendous.
  15. You have made a mistake by assuming 10's have " quicker response " as you call it. There's no such thing. It depends entirely on the manufacturer as to what any speaker reproduces and how it does that. You can get flabby 10's and tight 15's and so on. Surely you will only be changing the cabs because of the tone you desire. Only 7 kg ( 3.5kg per cab ) is not worthing dumping your MB cabs for. Tone wise, if you prefer Bergs, then that is the best reason to change. If the Bergs were half the weight, i could understand , but they're not half the weight. Stacking vertical is your best option for dispersion and getting the cabs nearer your ear. Adding extra cabs of identical nature , or removing indentical cabs, ususally affects the amount of air you can shift , rather then gaining or losing bottom end.
  16. The 130 TNT is an 80 watt combo, unless you add a 2nd 8 ohm cab.
  17. I'd say the same as the OP. No old fretlines, so they weren't defretted. There's no epoxy coating either. The shine is just down to years of playing which ended up putting a vague shine on the board. Stage lights will make it look shinier than it is
  18. Not sure why, but it reminds me a tad of an old Burns Bison thats had some very * tasty mods done * Did i say tasty ? Beg your pardon. I meant utter shyte
  19. Thats my man. Show it who's boss
  20. Its hard to imagine, looking at the thickness of the purple on sapele, how it could move at all, let alone curve. As a layman, i'd say if it was that easy for the glued pieces to curve one way, a vicious clamping could turn it back from whence it came
  21. Indeed, younger and better looking than Willis. I think i've redeemed myself
  22. How did you get Bruce Willis to play bass ???
  23. It's a whopper. I've emailed the guy and told him he has a Mag 4 not a Mag 2 and had a thank you response , but as he states in his added description, he couldnt change the title, which i think is because once it has bids on, he cannot do, but can add an addendum at the bottom of the page, which he has done
