Trace Elliot - Rescue & Restore (and bargain finds)
SpondonBassed replied to SimonK's topic in Amps and Cabs
...and there's a guy works down the chip shop, swears he's Elvis... I don't do online purchases and I seldom look at eBay or Gumtree other than to add to my knowledge of what's out there. There are people on BC who could do (and have done) 3D prints for me if I supply the detailed spec or an original part for scanning. The 1818x that you referred to has a ten inch driver. Mine has just the 18inch cone with two front facing reflex ports. I was told it was an 1818. I must check the data plate at some point but it's too heavy for me to be arsed moving it. -

You are welcome. You have a good feedback history so I wasn't stepping outside of my comfort zone at all. If you are ever in the vicinity you are welcome to PM me then. -
Good one! A doff of my hat to you sir. (You can collect your redundancy payment on your way out... heeheehee)

Are you within easy travelling distance of Spondon, Derby? If so PM me to set up a trial. -
Trace Elliot - Rescue & Restore (and bargain finds)
SpondonBassed replied to SimonK's topic in Amps and Cabs
Do you come across any 18 inch cabs? I have one that I love, even though I might never get the chance to play with it at significant volume. I have a workshop/practice room at the back of the house with an Ashdown 15" combo (Toneman 300) and the 18 inch TE as an extension. They haven't been used at all since I had to stop practising there. I was supervising a vulnerable adult indoors, full-time, and needed to be ready to drop everything with little or no notice. In the main house, I used a Laney RB3 because less Watts meant that I could turn it up to where the amp was nearer to its most efficient output. I could then continue to practise, whilst being readily available to deliver care as required. The household benefited* from the lower volumes generally. Since I have been on my own in the house, I've been lax about going back out to practise. I'd like to get back to being able to go through a set list in the workshop without undue distraction. 'Nuff waffle, else you'll be wanting maple syrup or summat with it. I wanted to ask you to keep an eye out for me. One of the reflex port liners on my cab is visibly damaged with a piece missing from its flange. I suppose TE could find me a new one. The cost and the newness against a rich patina on the rest of the cab plus the fact that I am a notorious skinflint prevents me. If you are breaking a similar cab for parts, I would be interested in getting hold of a replacement, used, port liner or two for mine. Let's talk should this be on the cards at any point. I am impressed by your "hobby" if I may call it that. I would love to see your collection. *I say benefited but it would be more truthful to say tolerated. -
That's looking good. I imagine you will have a lot of fun tweaking things like the knobs (as mentioned) and the control cavity cover. I had a chuckle to myself when I saw how the G string obscures the view of your "deliberate" mistake of leaving out the line in the note's tail. Did I see you had managed to fix it in an earlier image? Why not make a feature of the rotted part? Maybe a bit of faux gold filler to make it stand out. Transparent coloured fillers can look good too. Wire brush the rotten fragment out to leave an interesting texture and wah-hay!

If you want it to look dangerous you should make a feature of the symbol, perhaps on the headstock, and have it backlit with a slowly pulsing U/V led. The example below is the wrong colour and the pulse rate is a little too quick but it gives you the gist of what I have in my mind's eye.

Best wishes matey.

With a screen name like that, I think the DoI needs to beware of him. -

Welcome HoL. Great screen name! -

Site behaving differently?
SpondonBassed replied to graham1945's question in Site Issues and Questions
Since the move to https, I have to either sign in if I have been "inactive" for more than a certain period*, or refresh (f5) frequently to keep me logged in. *The period seems to vary depending on the time of day. In the mornings I have to refresh more often if I am not seen by the site to be active. This includes answering posts. It's frustrating to write a detailed reply to a post and find that I am logged out by the time I hit the Submit Reply button. I have learned to copy my reply to the clipboard in case my work disappears. it's okay most times because the site remembers my draft when logged back in (as long as I haven't left the thread to which I am replying). On the odd occasion that it doesn't I have to start again from scratch unless I have my work copied to the clipboard. -
Ooh! Ooh! U/V fretmarkers? U/V activated paint? "Sci-Fi glow" - sounds excellent.

The grain looks interesting enough. What are your thoughts having revealed it?
