  1. You know how giant corporate money machines like to pinch every penny, and would sacrifice quality to make loads more cash... just wondering
  2. Ok - cheers Well as you've seen, the back panel is done, so.. both sides, top and bottom to do ?
  3. I used to own a 600 fretless. Set neck, and poor EQ. Just my personal experience. The tone was rather dull and non-descript
  4. I'm fond of decent heads, and would never own a headless, but they're amazing to look at.
  5. One person wanted them Our guitarist ( at the time ) bought an LP with that self tuning system. It's amazing to watch the pegs all move on their own. He hated and took them off I guess because they never worked properly
  6. I always ask if i don't know. There are so many clever people on here, that 9 out of 10, somebody knows better. Hence me tracking Richard down and getting a huge amount of help
  7. I had another search but i got bored reading 300 posts I wonder if it was one of your build threads ? Anyways - i found this from Phil
  8. I dont know where the thread is - i remember doing an all forum search for wadding and having a good read, and didnt get a definitive answer
  9. Asking anyone for their fave No.2 is fraught with danger
  10. I guess i just dont like waste. In the end, what i ordered from Jabbs link is about the best for price and wastage. So, happy days ! Things left to do - sand the areas where screw heads are sunken and filled with PVA and sawdust, and then re- Tuff cab, ( 4 panels to do where the baffle sits ) Fit corner and edge strip protection, cut and screw and seal grill battens, cut grill to size and spray paint, fit driver, make grill badge Still a bit to do
  11. Thanks Stevie - i mulled that over in my head about the wadding, but then if you read the mighty wadding in cabs thread, there's a 50-50 debate about it. There didn't seem to be a definitive answer
  12. Apparently so Rik Mayall also did that in one of the Comic Strip stories - Beat Generation IIRC
  13. Bah humbug - who cares. Ordered - about £11 + shrapnel. Bargain - ta Jabb
  14. Blimey Jab - that last one is cheap. Cheers Is 1.5mm thick enough to offer some protection ?
  15. Oh hell.. now some at 2900mm free delivery, silver . I'm losing it people. Nurse !!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5x-SILVE-PLASTIC-PVC-CORNER-90-DEGREE-ANGLE-TRIM-ALL-SIZE-10-15-20-25-30-40-50mm/232528253995?hash=item3623c3942b:m:ma-tz5rSNAZvcHXzTLQ3vgw
  16. Or..in blue !!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PLASTIC-PVC-CORNER-90-DEGREE-20x20mm-ANGLE-TRIM-2-5-METERS-VARIOUS-COLOURS/282570085860?hash=item41ca7d55e4:m:m2lwNmI0cuhh5rhTWo213hQ
  17. And cheaper still... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-meter-len gth-BLACK-PLASTIC-PVC-CORNER-90-DEGREE-ANGLE-TRIM-VARIOUS-SIZES/272298412104?epid=1661300945&hash=item3f66400848:m:m7zPlx3R70xl4hMPQBEplQg
  18. Or this ... slightly cheaper. £2.99 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-meter-WOOD-EFFECT-PLASTIC-PVC-CORNER-90-DEGREE-ANGLE-TRIM-VARIOUS-SIZES/272539745222?hash=item3f74a27bc6:m:m1owfn_mfTqKd6JtkxsgG3w
  19. Now that i know what to google ( extrusion, thanks guys ) i found these on ebay. 20x20 x 1000mm Now my maths is howibbly howibbly bad ...so can someone work out how many lengths i need to order ? I can get more than edge 1 out of each 1000mm strip ? Would Measurements 545mm x 4 strips / 460mm x 4 strips / 395mm x 4 strips ( that should be all 12 edges : ) And to add to the maths confusion - i found the same sellers with 2500mm strips, but they ramp the postage up. £10 for 2500mm. So now not sure whether to buy less strips of the longer stuff ( 2500mm ) or mores strips of the shorter stuff ( 1000mm ) And there's also the postage difference Check last post - the stuff in blue , 2500mm https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PVC-CORNER-90-DEGREE-20X20-mm-ANGLE-TRIM-1-METER-Gold-and-Silver/282218801567?_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D48421%26meid%3Dd1d7d88780024d0baca9ee8e5978e0b6%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D232030527177%26itm%3D282218801567&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851
  20. Oh goddammit. Maplin says no delivery on those strips, so find nearest store - which is Oxford ( close, about 12 miles ) and they dont have any. Nearest next store with stock is Mansfield , Notts. and they only have 1 strip ! Jeeez, people must be smoking 'em, eating 'em , making sheds, etc
  21. Too late on that Richard - bought 8 large corners on Ebay - £3.99 delivered - but ta They're bigger though, than the Maplins ones, but exactly the same style
  22. Blimey guv, that looks like a winner
  23. Wickes Oak would be pricey at over £30 + del. The black plastic angle is probably the cheapest of the lot, but the cheeky oik's postage price is £10 for something that weighs the same as my bedroom slippers. This is a sort of scam where they're avoiding ebay fees by selling the item cheap, but ramping up the postage. Still, if it works out cheaper ...
  24. I looked at your link, and yup, too expensive. I need approx 4800mm ( the 8 corner protectors take up some of the millimetres )
  25. I think blokes like to exaggerate size. He thinks he has a biggun, but actually has a smallun.
