I have an old Peavey 4 x 10 cabinet, which I like the sound of, better than my Epifani UL 410. My amp has a crossover so I was thinking of building a cabinet to take the lows, with the highs going to the Peavey.
So do I go for a 2 x 12 or a 1 x 15 ?
No, ( Mr Happy ) not the school, or ( Dad ) the county. Now in hampshire, but started life in Buckinghamshire.
Ian, sorry, just seen your reply. If you're still interested, please send me a message. Richard
Well i've got it back from Joe White ( my friend and luthier ) and it's fine. Really pleased with it. Had to change the truss rod as it was a push - pull type, not just a tightening one. Frets all ok, and it sounds just as it should. Actual scale length is 30.5 ".
Pictures would be attached, but I have used over my 30 MB global upload quota. Anyone know how to get over this ?
thank you all for your comments. I didn't realise it changed the sound that much but now having tried a pick, I see what you mean. My main concern was about speed tho', not sound, so I'll keep trying the pick and see if I can get a bit faster.
There is mention of finger nails. I use my fingers, not my nails. Is this normal ?
When I re-started playing after a long gap, I was playing 60's covers. Now joined a new band and we're playing newer stuff. It's easier in some ways - less runs to learn, but faster to play. I've always used my fingers, but should I try a plectrum for more speed ?
So as long as I get the nut in the right place, where the 2nd fret was, it should be ok ? It sounds ok with the capo, so I don't think the pup position needs to change.
I think the only problem will be the fret markers, as lond as I can alter the truss rod.
Anyway, I've got the saw ready.

I've tried a capo, and the frets and intonation are fine. Re the strings, I am going to fit the adaptor so I can use single ball end strings. Just got to have a look at the truss rod. Not sure about the dot markers.
Where's my saw.
