  1. I was 16 when I borrowed it, seemed huge at the time. Mind you, I was a four stone apology, not the two separate gorillas I am today.
  2. Fender did a 4x12 with angled speakers, as Mr Paul says it was huge.
  3. Fretless with a pick, isn't that illegal? 😅
  4. But... What are the best socks for metal? 😅
  5. I lied about my age to avoid the draft
  6. I defer to Messrs Binky and Reggae. I'd never seen a Precision with the truss rod nut at that end, and the capstans look wrong. Finish is cheap looking too. Apologies.
  7. It's clearly neither a Fender nor a Precision
  8. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404835356152?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=bogatj92qsk&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=hNc7PDPYRJi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Edit : I thought this a fake, but am told that some Precisions do have tuners and truss rod nuts that look like that.
  9. I believe Jamerson used a bible in lieu of feeler gauge, credit card or business card... 😂
  10. "Recommending this product is a no-brainer. - Wayne Donnelly" Couldn't agree more 🤣
  11. Just me, or is his choice of pronouns a bit creepy?
  12. Brothers in Liverpool always say that about Manchester 😁
  13. Genuine Neutriks at a decent price here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303145726020 I wouldn't trust Chinese copies with anything more than an amp or two 😝
  14. I dont see the contradiction, both are true.
  15. https://recording.org/comment/twice-loud-6db-or-10db As dB is a logarithmic scale, in order to add 10dB you need to increase the power delivered to a given speaker by a factor of 10. So the difference between 80dB and 160dB (going from the spl you might do a mix at, to louder than a bomb and instant deafness) is the difference between 1W and 10MW. Regardless of the class of amplifier. That's as relevant as the colour of the car you got here in. 😀
  16. True enough, and that's assuming the 200, 300 and 500 are measured the same way. What one manufacturer calls 300 another might call 500, and out of two amps rated 500rms at a given distortion level, one might be able to sustain that for 100mS and the other for hours. Not sure where I'm going with this apart from "don't believe the hype", "get an SVT" and "1000 genuine watts are only twice as loud as 100 genuine watts"
  17. Were you a slip of a yout like Bassadder you'd remember 🙂
  18. Fair enough, and I've yet to be threatened with physical violence on *this* forum 😂
  19. OP, being as he is a citizen of the Americas, might be more at home on Talkbass. Most of us here live on Pudding Island or in the land of millimetres and cheese. I don't mean you're not welcome, TJohn, just that you'll get more local knowledge there.

    Paint

    Thanks all. Im going to paint diluted pva onto the edges, and the various bits of filler. Bit more sanding today... I wish id done a build diary now, but at the start it looked like it was going to be an embarassing bodge. Amazing what filler can do (though there's still a bit of a shortage of right angles)

    I bought the Tuffcab. And the rollers. Fast servive from BlueAran. Thanks for the recommendation. Any top tips before i slap it on all over? I'm reasonably confident it'll sound ok, ive built a few cabs but never done more than a bit of blackboard paint. I should put an extra coat on the plywood edges as they're more porous, thanks Alien.
  22. I had one. It was beautiful. It weighed more than my house though.
