[quote name='Bassassin' post='249499' date='Jul 28 2008, 12:27 PM']If it's the same as the two I've had (natural finish) it's not ply - these are made of unidentified, heavy-as-lead solid timber, "sandwich" construction like 60s Les Pauls & lots of JapCrap. I've always thought one of these bodies would make a good basis for a project - but I doubt the Fender neck would be a straight fit. The Kay pocket is squarer at the back than a Fender, and will probably have metric dimensions. I think a Fender heel's 2.5" at its widest, I'm guessing some widening or shimming of the pocket would be necessary. I would not modify the neck - you might want to use that in something else one day. The Kay body will be drilled for a 6-hole neckplate too - you'll have to fill & re-drill if you don't have the original plate. Jon.[/quote] mine was play! I stripped it and refinished it - wasn't heavy though! bought mine in 83' andy

Hi kev, I've got an ash body here I damaged slightly I'll get pick together and post them.. if you want it I'll send you it. andy

hey kev! that's a lot of neck to put on a plywood body! andy

I would recommend an Ampeg SVT 3pro: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ampeg-SVT-3-Pro-450-watt-bass-amp-in-flight-case_W0QQitemZ330256140306QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item330256140306&_trksid=p3286.m14.l1318"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ampeg-SVT-3-Pro-450-...p3286.m14.l1318[/url] valve front end with mosfet output. superb, better than the 450h and s/h units are very affordable! andy

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='246832' date='Jul 24 2008, 01:25 PM']Unfortunately the sound in the shop is no guide to the sound when gigged. I had been using an EBS Neo 212 with an HD350 for the last few years and it was well capable of drowning out an unmic'ed drummer on its own. And if the drum's get Mic'ed then the bass normally gets DI'd and the rig becomes stage monitoring. At the risk of being controversial the stack is as much about image as sound.[/quote] very true! check all the music stuff on tv at the moment - most bass rigs I see are ampeg classic/vr/v4b and 8x10. It is a good looking rig! andy

Ian, stick with your own perception of sound. I agree fully with your sentiment because at the end of the day your ears are your ambassadors and will guide you appropriately! its your choice and what you are looking for...no-one else needs be involved unless...they have constructive, shall we say criticism? which could enhance your current set-up. I do believe though; When building a cab, technically speaking, calculation for acoustics, audio values, speaker properties and dimension are important but for the most part, our ears are not capable of hearing all the corresponding frequencies which come out of our selected boxes, whether these be 'boutique' or standard gear. So many folk on all the various forums have bought gear they believe to be the biggest and best yet have parted with it so fast it makes you wonder?! who makes the best amps? who makes the best cabs? who makes the best basses? who makes the best effects? who makes the best leads? who cares! we have a lot of fun trying it all out! My gear is just a workmanlike set-up - just does it, that's all and that's all I require. buying gear is very personal to the player and the type of sound/music style they are trying to achieve. I my 28 years of playing I will admit to having umpteen nonsense basses, dodgy amps and cab combination's, but they all got me through various stages in my career and development regretting none of it while simply enjoying bass. I love going to live gigs, observing who uses what and what they do to squeeze the best out of what they have. Ampeg rules!! lol. andy

these are great! link: [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?ID=144"]http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?ID=144[/url] bit thin on the ground but you can pick them up for around £100 new and s/h - you already like the ashdown tone; this gives loads!

is the marshall tranny, all valve or valve/tranny? is a beast. andy

cheers Sam. flawless transaction. andy
