Pea Turgh

Have you read the full description?!  I LOVE a good (bad) translation!!!

That’s a lovely bit of flamed maple.  I LOVE a flamed maple neck!

Headless - the balance was rubbish on the one I tried once, the head stocks are HUGE!!!

I too am a fan of the look, and as you found, don’t see them often.

i wonder what the nut width is (I cant get on with narrow necks)

I’ve always liked them, never had one. However, I did build a copy with a 22 fret neck and a more contoured body about 20 yrs ago!

 My interest has definitely been reignited looking at these new ones.

Want!

So if it’s a 34” scale neck and a body that was set up for a 34” scale then the bridge won’t need to move but if it’s a 30” scale neck on a body that is set up for 34” scale then the bridge will need to move forward 

Oh yeah! That way too!

The scale length would be determined by the frets, surely?

Almost done!  Ran out of Velcro for the power supply, so that will have to wait for now. I was going to try to fit it underneath.

I’m also now thinking of ways to make the power cables neater. Maybe cable ties.

Still, not bad for bits I had lying around!

Looking good. I made one like that then decided to re-do it. Turning out ok, finishing touches when I finalise my pedals. 

Power cables all run underneath a panel that sits in a recess. 

Btw - never came across a design like this - way cool!

Might have gone a different direction myself had I seen this one first!

With three small kids, time to do self-indulgent DIY projects is somewhat limited, but I finally borrowed a sander and got to the shed to find some Ronseal!

I forgot how fun making stuff is! Tomorrow it’s on to Velcro and rubber feet (for the pedal board, cheeky).

I play a lot of weddings. I always seem to get fed, and enjoy the dancing totty moments away from a wardrobe malfunction. Love it!

Two padded cajon bags - One10 & head in one, One10 and cables in the other. Sorted.

Please say you’re attending the SW bass bash with it?!

That’s bloody lovely! The details are fantastic- lovely birdseye (?) neck, the fact it goes all the way through from back to front even on the fretboard, just, lovely!

What does it sound like?

FWIW, this is my '72 Azureglo. I spent 17 years looking for one. Really.  

Ricky’s never caught my eye, but that one looks “right”. Nice.

I’ve been thinking about this for a little while. Not sure if it exists, or (when I can afford it in 10yrs time!) it’s have to be a custom job...

Fender Jaguar, oly white, single MM pickup, flamed maple neck (maybe birdseye fretboard), just edge dots, lollipop tuners, and maybe black or black pearl scratch plate.

Yeah I don’t think that exists yet.

Ha! I have one exactly the same! Does yours have factory routing for active gubbins, too?

Nice! Bonus points for it being strung correctly, it’s amazing how many of them you see with the headstock all arseways.

I didn’t notice until you mentioned it - looks bonkers, but also strangely satisfying, like a nice plant.

Do the all turn in different directions though?

Sir, for your list:

Pea Turgh - Squire JV P; Squire 90’s P with a narrow neck; Ampeg pf350; Barefaced One10 tweedy.

@Pea Turgh

The RCF marketing says "800 watt 2-way peak power" but it's not comparing like-for-like.  One of these RCFs could not replace two One10s.

 

@Lozz196

Yes,  I'm mainly playing functions/weddings with full PA, so I only need to worry about my personal on-stage sound. Tone-shaping and HPF is from a pedal.

 

@largo

This is true.  For me, one RCF or one One10 will be fine for 90% of my gigs.  But for the other 10% - I'm not sure now whether to get a second RCF or stick with two One10s (I have two already).

Ultimately, I think I'd rather just have one system (either RCF or Barefaced - but not both), as I know from previous experience that having two overlapping systems I end up wasting lots of time debating with myself which one is "better" - a completely pointless inner monologue, but I can't turn it off.  But if I only have one system, there is no decision to be made, and I can move on with my life!  Dunno if that makes any sense to anyone!

That’s the side effect of these forums (or fora?) is the constant re-evaluation of your tools. Until I signed up to Basschat, I was quite happy with my bass and amp!

Prior to that I spent far too much time thinking/planning/buying/selling recording gear!

 I have settled down a bit now, and i’m also very happy with my head & cabs, I should just exercise a little self discipline and just play the bloody thing more!

Probably not.

That is peak power. The cab is only rated at 400 watts. . . .  and definitely a lot, lot less than that for bass frequencies.

I feel better now. Thank you!

800 Watts?! Spl of 128dB?!  £350!?!

Cant help thinking this might have been the better option than the Ampeg PF350 and two One10’s I recently bought (for significantly more dosh!)

I think I’ll pop along to this, too, @scrumpymike - would love to see the Rascal build!

PM me your details so I can put my money where my mouth is!
