I like that one!.........😀

The lower horn and the bridge end is quite angular then the top horn is curved I would probably try and make it a bit more angular so it ties in with the rest but don’t get me wrong it does look good the way it is.............👍

Don’t go give me ideas!!

Done a bit more yesterday......... Just need to cut the bottom and cover with some black faux leather I’ve found at work............😀

Here’s the original body back on I’m thinking of removing the block as I don’t think they go too well with the body or I might change them to white instead............😀 i weighed the bass before I changed the body and it weighed 5.4kg and now with the original body back on it weighs 3.6kg...............👍

It’s really not that big it’s only 300mm wide x 150mm high it would look a bit pathetic of it was only just bigger than the control plate as that is 210mm wide x 45mm high

@Soledad is a great guy he gave me a set of strings for free, posted them for free and I received them in 3 days from first message Thanks again

I managed to skive off work a bit this afternoon so I made a start on the head casing I was going to do it rounded on the top edges but after looking at it I’ve decided not to and I’m going to mitre the corners instead I think I’m going to do the face in Beige speaker cloth and Black carpet on the outside to match the cab............😀

Because that’s far too easy!!............😜 My plan is to buy an Amp head at some point so if I build the 2 x 10 cab now I’ll have it ready.............

This going to be running along side a 2 x 10 bass cab build aswell so unfortunately till the cab is done I can’t test it? But if it works I might do it with a more powerful combo............🤔

I’ve seen on YouTube a few videos saying you can make a nice sounding head out of a crappy 10w practice amp so I thought I’d give it a go So far I’ve dismantled my bb blaster 10w practice amp and will start making the new case for it................🤞

I got my kids to watch ‘The Never-ending Story’ the other week they didn’t appreciate that it was a classic!! Kids of today!!.............🙄

Bit of an update on this project the body is too heavy and a bit uncomfortable for me to play so I’ve decided to refinish the original body in satin black and add a pickguard to make a look a bit different i still need to strip off the veneer and either colour match the headstock or leave it Maple I’ll decided once the veneer is off.........😀

The speakers are nothing special they are Pyle 10” subwoofer the 8ohm SVC version is £25 and the 4ohm DVC is £29..........😀

One question I forgot to ask is does it make a difference if the new speakers are single or dual voice coil? is one better than the other?.........😀

I’ve been offered a 30w practice amp for next to nothing because the speaker is farting a bit the rest of the amp works fine My plan is to build a sealed 2 x 10 cab with a removable back and use the amp to power them I know that the amp isn’t really powerful enough to run them at volume but it’s only going to be home use and my plan is to re-use the cab with a separate amp head when I can afford one So my question is if the amp is rated at 4ohms then would the 2 new speakers need to be 8ohms to run them in parallel so they would end up being 4ohm or would that not work?? I haven’t got a clue when it comes to this kinda stuff so any advice would be greatly appreciated.........😀

Cheers mate I’ll pm my address

You sure mate? I don’t want you being out of pocket

I’ll have them if they are still available how much do you want for postage?

I don’t take offence at all mate extract away!! Sometimes I need to curb my spontaneity because some of the time the choices I make are sooo wrong!!!!.............😳

It could be or it’s my mum I can’t decide!!🤭

I’m getting better my last two builds stuck to the original plan........😀

Hopefully it will turn out like this but with gold hardware (sorry for the crappy picture)

Now that I’ve just got the electrics to do on my ‘51 and ‘72 P bass builds it’s time for a new build............ My plan is to build a 5 String P bass The body is going to be Paulownia I’m probably going to buy the body this time as they are on EBay for £23 and it’s going to painted it Gloss Black The neck is going to be Maple/Maple which I’m going to colour match the headstock and add Black block inlays The pickguard is going to be black and all the hardware is going to be Gold/Brass as all my basses have either Black or Chrome hardware so I fancied something a bit different.................😀

I thought they were bronze/brass and I really liked how looked that it made up mind to use Brass on my next build..........😀
