Fender Boss to Fender Design Dept: "Let's have us a six string bass!" FDD: "That's gonna look like a cartoon next to the rest of our stuff". FB: "Do your best work". FDD: "Okay, you da Boss".

Step one is finding a builder. There's a few fine folk on here who might even volunteer a couple of evenings to slam them together. Does the UK do "men's" sheds? They are everywhere here. Staffed by old geezers volunteering handyman assistance with space and tools for DIY projects. Copying over the 410 specs to a pair of 210 is a trivial set of calculations. You will need to find some bug eye covers or grill material and some more corners and feet.

Gallien Krueger EQ optimally flat voicing?
Downunderwonder replied to Sparky Mark's topic in Amps and Cabs
I have found it immensely useful knowing the nominally flat settings on provided backline gigs. Plug in my pedal board and off to the races. -
You could put your speakers into a couple of custom 210 cabs for very little moola. Very easy to copy over the 410 porting and cab volume half and half for guaranteed result.
-
Doubtful you could do it without having a 240v hazard.

A regular 6 string bass would be BEADGC. Dunno what you are wanting with a top B.

I just knew there had to be Prunes & Custard on there. Beige says "suck on this and tell me you love me".

I am in heaven.

Most of the whole wide world manages quite fine with 34" scale. It's all about the strings and pickups.

Join the club. The only way I can do it is with 'stupid' amounts of repetitive practice. Then when it's action time it sounds like someone else is playing the bass while I am doing the harmony. It's the very defintion of an out of body experience, well worth the effort. Yet I can't call myself a singing bassist as I can hardly even talk over bassing!

Downunderwonder replied to Sparky Mark's topic in Amps and Cabs
Could be my memory is faulty due to the knobs being donkey backwards from everything else. -

Clock positions. Bass 10. Treble 10. Low mid 2. High mid 1. Contour hard left, or 'off'. -
Genzler Bass Array 410-3 - *SOLD*

If it's anything like NZ there will be a threshold value for collecting revenue on your total importation. Below the threshold they don't make you pay. Not sure if duty free booze and fags count against the total.

More watts make more loud until speaker until speaker say enough of this malarkey. The power soak angle isn't applicable to a 500w solid state amp but there is a sort of corollary with some users of Genz Benz Streamliner amps. It's possible to rewire 4 ohm load worth of parallel drivers to be 16 ohms instead. With a Streamliner driving hard into 16ohms it will do the hard driving tone with much less power coming out than normal. Still no help to OP as the answer to the question is a simple hard no.

Backup Needed - Copy Or Different Flavour?
Downunderwonder replied to spongebob's topic in General Discussion
If you like your tone as is then it's a done deal. Backup Stingray. -
2x10 Cab recommendations to match a 500w head
Downunderwonder replied to AinsleyWalker's topic in Amps and Cabs
For bedroom volume 1x ten is ample. You could buy the £40 SWR spare driver in the classifieds and put it in a half size copy of a Goliath JR. -

This Trace Elliot ELF never ceases to amaze me!!!!
Downunderwonder replied to Mike Bungo's topic in Amps and Cabs
Because electrons are so very very small. And Peavey spent a lot of time and money to optimise their multiplication without creating heat so it could all fit in a smaller than believable box. -
Overpaying for 2nd-hand gear on eBay!

The word you're looking for is noncontemporary. -
John Hall getting it in the neck (pun intended)!
Downunderwonder replied to NikNik's topic in General Discussion
Ricks have neck joints? News to me. -
I do believe you just done fell down a TimR hole. There's an escape hatch but you have to leave the computer behind to get through it.

My 10c of the current? Rumble 100, 112 I believe... multi band festival in a sizable bar. Jumped on stage for my turn, expected to see the stage combo plugged into the PA. Not actually. Granted, it's jazz bands, but they're big derrière jazz bands and all those horns aren't holding back. Impressive to say the least. Contrast that with a year or two previous and the much bigger Rumble combo sounded like derrière with every band that was on that night. Imagine your amp with the mids scooped to the max and buried in a pile of duvets and that's what it sounded like. Nobody fixed it so either all those bassists liked to be invisible or it was incapable of anything else.
