    The way the neck swooshes in to the body, and the demarcation veneer, looks bloody marvellous! Its a pity it won’t make it to the next SW Bass Bash!

    Thanks! This one has a 12” driver (will add that above).

    ***** WITHDRAWN!! I guess fate decided it should stay with me. I like fate. ***** With a heavy heart I feel the time has come to move this beauty on. I’ve had it for 9 years now. It had a service a couple of years ago when some caps or something gave up, but all sorted now by Music Services Wales. I thought I had a couple of issues since, but turned out to be dodgy leads (doh). Gigged it a few times recently, also used a BF One10 as an extension cab - now that was nice! Mahogany cabinet (road-worn), I have the corner caps but I think it looks nicer with them off. I fitted some tall rubber feet to the bottom. The full 150 Watts sounds lovely with an extension cab is plugged in. This is the 12” EV version. Based in sunny Swansea, I don’t want to post this - it’s too heavy! Did I say I’m open to offers?

    Time for this fella to find a new home! Since I constructed my bitsa, this one is on the bench too much. Also need funds for a BF Two10... Originally modded by yorks5stringer, there’s a blow-by-blow account of the process here somewhere (damned if I can find it now!!). Located in sunny Swansea, I’m happy to post (when I can lay my hands on suitable packaging) for whatever it should cost (will have a look in to it).

    Cool - get another Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder at the bridge then you’ll be rockin.

    I saw that ad, but after re-reading it me likey. A big old head on top of that would be awesome!

    Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great seller for a good cause. It was just the title tickled me. I would be watching said item if I were closer to it.

    I just saw one of these on Instagram - anyone tried one in anger?

    Made I chuckle... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F382677437862

    50lbs/22.6kg I think. Definitely not as heavy as my Peterson combo though- that’s borderline Trace weight!
  11. Pea Turgh
    That does look like it should taste nice. I’d probably try to lick it.

    FYI - this sounds really good - I quite often play against 2 Marshall half stacks and you can still hear me. I just keep hurting my back and want to go back to Barefaced. A real man should have no trouble lugging this about!
  13. Pea Turgh
    FWIW, IDK. TTFN!
  14. Pea Turgh
    Looks great! Alas, I’ve been told by the boss not to buy any more basses What is the weight, kind Sir?
  15. Pea Turgh
    That looks lovely! GLWTS
  16. Pea Turgh
    Well it looks nice, and it was cheap, so if it plays half decent I’d consider it a win!

    The neck pup has big pole pieces - Quarter Pounder maybe? I really like the QPs in my P bass!

    Juuuust in case anyone is interested, this cab is now available in the marketplace...

    I think people tend not to use stereo live as only people in the sweet spot can appreciate it. However, as a teenager I had a wicked set of PA cabs and a really cheap nasty stereo chorus pedal. With the rate setting all the way down so you couldn’t really determine the effect was on at all, it really added some sort of magic to the sound. Im off to scour eBay for some dirt cheap 80s stereo chorus pedals...

    Nice! That’s basically what I was going to go with on my much-stalled Jag build!

    Here’s a cab with history! 400w @ 4ohms A Peavey 2x10 loaded with Beyma drivers by Fleabag (with assistance from the forum gurus), and finished in Ronseal’s finest outdoor wood finish by me! (so will not get ruined when used as a beer table at a gig). Currently located in Swansea, but can post for £15 nationally. All documented thusly... And here’s some piccies...
  22. Pea Turgh
    Funnily enough, I’m still contemplating building exactly that!
  23. Pea Turgh
    I’ve never played one to compare sorry. It would be an easy job to “Fenderize” the headstock though!

    I knew this bass had potential, but I lacked the tools and attention to detail to bring it out. Luckily, I knew of a very good tech in the area. Apparently, so does everyone else as he has a 4 week backlog! For years I’ve thought “I can tweak a truss rod/set intonation” etc, but I now happily admit I was wrong. The strings are sitting at a perfect height at both ends and over the frets, the action and feel is consistent on every note up and down the neck. Definitely feels like my playing will improve as a result. I am now very happy with Trigger, the bitsa P!

    So, it arrived. I cannot find anything wrong with it, other than the D stamp. It is heavy, and the action needs sorting, but it sounds wonderful! I plugged it in to look for problems but just sat there noodling for ages. It’s great! Unfortunately it will be leaving me this eve, as I feel guilty for spending money on something I don’t need, especially since my bitsa P just came back from my tech and it is out of this world. Still, there is now a desire for a jazz in the collection...
