Im in swindon and Ive got some barefaced cabs, a old 1x12 midget (which is better/smaller than pretty much any 1x10) and a 1x15 compact (smaller than a 2x10) you can potentialy have a play with. 

Absolute gent, thank you.............

I fear Barefaced GAS approaching.......

Double wow.......!!!

Played one of these yesterday.

Nice little thing.

Are the drivers all identical? They may not be. And how are they wired to achieve a workable impedance for the amp section? (I presume it's a minimum of 4 Ohms, but you never know)

 

These factors may conspire to preclude the use of 3x1x10..

I'm going to have a look in the back................ you're going to be right, I'm sure.

If you're 'into' carpentry, of course it can be done, but isn't it better to sell the combo 'as is' and buy yourself a more suitable rig for your needs..? Just a thought. 

That would be too easy..........

Seriously, you're right.....  I was just looking at in the garage and thinking about removing the amp and adding it to a to a single cab and got carried away.

In answer to the original question;

 

Yes. I believe there IS a "stacked-knob" thread buried somewhere in BC.

 

Just don't ask me how I know

How do you know?

Lol............

Hello groovers,

I've got a Markbass CMD 103H which I don't use nowadays.

How easy would it be for a layman like me to convert it into three 1 x 10" cabinets?

Or, better still maybe one 210 cabinet and single 10"...........?

Anybody out there done this?  I'm sure you have..............

Good morning groovers,

I have a fantastic Markbass CMD 103H in my garage.  I never use it nowadays and it certainly can’t go in the house…..!!!

I’d like to take the Markbass II out of the combo and connect it to a 1 x 10” cab and see how that works in the house.

Is there anyone in the Swindon area, or south west, who’d lend me a cab for a few days so I could have tinker.  I’m a very clean and careful cat so you wouldn’t have to worry.

Nice bottle of wine or a slab of beers coming your way if you fancy it.

Big love to all,

This one, plus a few ACGs.  I feel that the OP may have been going down the early Jazz bass road but just my reading of it...

 

Quite right, sir......... 

Ooooh....... those tuners look lovely.

COR........... that's a bit nice looking.................

Bump for this very wonderful Jazz. 

Here's what it looks like with a mint pickguard:

 

 

Looks loads better with the mint......... IMO..........

Mother of God........... love this..............!!!

Ooooooh........................!

Hey guys and gals,

I'm gassing for a stack knob in my life and was on here looking for a thread to daydream over..........

If there is one, could someone send me a link.  I have looked, honestly.......

If not, shall we start one?

Kindest regards,

Hey man,

You can adjust the truss rod by removing the pickguard, I reckon.

APOLOGIES if this has been said and/or sounds like a numpty comment.

Lovely........

Hey, could you stick up a pic to show how long the posts are?

Cheers,

I'm after something for a little project.

If I were in the same boat I'd carefully remove all the electronics by desoldering the output connection and replace with new pickups and wiring harness - that way you could always replace the old set with minimal disruption.

 

Before I did that I'd try some experiments with carefully clamping the headstock etc to try and rule out weird resonance on the E - it'd be gutting to do all that and then find the problem was still there!

 

Nordstrand are good - they tend towards the more modern but I've had good results. Depends what tone you're after!

Hey, apologies for digressing ever so slightly from the OP...... which similarebpups would you put in an early 70's jazz for that growl...?

Hiya,

I'm no officianado but I was just reading another discussion on here where one chap suggested depressing the E string down pickguard side of the bridge, quite firmly to create a change in angle.  This sets the string correctly into the saddle and "should" be done every time we change strings or change tuning.

By the way, I have a similar issue with the first string.  I always feel like it's sharper sounding and not like the other 3.  I play a bit of slap too, I always have to try and stifle pops to make them percussive.
