This reminds me of my first bass from 1993 or so! Unfortunately, it was a dog - heavier than a Trace Elliot amp, with what appeared to be a ply-like neck! It was a 1969 Kay. Terrible.
Yours looks great though! I’m getting all sentimental now - might go looking for a looky likey...
I like the pace and number of your threads, @Jimothey!
When I read your posts, for some reason in my head you have a Westcountry accent, but you are based in N. Wales - do you have a Westcountry accent?
Is it the cab construction that makes them so heavy? Wondering if it would be worth building a lightweight braced shell to house the combo gubbins.
I tried a 300w 2x10 combo a couple of years ago as a last minute stand in - glorious sound, but picking it up to put it on a flight case was a stupid move.
Bit of weird suggestion, but would taking the body to a tanning salon (with the appropriate bits masked off) and whopping it on a sunbed for 30 minutes yellow the paint?
*Disclaimer - I’ve never been to one so I don’t have a clue what happens. It might just catch fire.
Two gigs this weekend, one outdoors (through at least 6 18” subs to assist my sole One10!).
My JV never fails to keep tune - I only have a tuner as a security blanket type thing - my trusty P always plays great. Either that or I’m a lumbering sausage fingered oaf!
