    No recommendations, but there's lots of info on the [url="http://www.watfordvalves.com/"]Watford Valves[/url] site, and they're very helpful and informative on the phone, too.

    Surely weight reduction chambers in the body is going to encourage neck dive, especially on an SG shape... unless you intend to fill one of the chambers with lead?

    I thought this was going to be a Climate Change thread!

    It's a valve amp, first thing to do is clean the valve contacts, and then swap similar valves around to see if the noise changes. This will sort out a huge proportion of valve amp troubles by fixing it, or showing up a defective valve.

    Take a valve out, spray contact cleaner (NOT WD40) in to the valve base, push the valve back in. Repeat for all the valves.

    Stunning bit of work.

    mmmm - I'd expect to see a 'tan line' in the paintwork. Less faded under the pickguard.

    I hope your going to try it before installation.... I can only imagine the immense frustration of taking it back out again.

    There's something seriously wrong with your mains electricity for the trip to go off just by plugging in the USB lead. I'd be far more worried about that than the toneprint tbh. It might be more than a killer tone that you'll end up with!

    Genius.

    DIY relicing! Surely this is all part of the 'charm' of a relic... the odd bump'n'scratch doesn't matter. Now if this had been a new bass. Ah.

    [quote name='krispn' timestamp='1468967663' post='3094840'] Tried one today in guitar guitar but just a quick pick up and noodle - not through an amp. I'm back over next Friday to collect some repaired gear so might try it out then and hear what its got. [/quote] It'll be gone by then!

    ...and here was I, just about to tell you what a great guy Tom is to deal with and exactly how happy I am with the G&L JB-2 wot he sold me, and you've gone and bought it. Ho-hum. NB: Be prepared for a great deal of bubble-wrap and sellotape.

    Uh oh... looks like you'll be starting a club and giving out numbers soon!

    That SG is stunning. I'm looking forward to following this build.

    Those guitars look fabulous. When you say "red ink" for a stain... d'you really mean red ink as in:

    Looks good. I see Squier are doing them now......

    [quote name='bertbass' timestamp='1468317095' post='3090029'] You do need a new cabinet! Especially one you've made yourself. I'm using a Kappalite 3012HO. [/quote] Thanks. Eyewateringly expensive at £200

    Indeed. What speaker's going in it, please?
