Good to hear it's resolved. A new amp thread is always interesting as well

When I think of a snappy reply you are in so much trouble

I can certainly be the Chosen One to eat cake. I am being very specific here. I shall rise to the occasion and be the very best person who eats cake in a controlled and repeatable manner.

This needs to be fun and informative. My interest is smallish speakers, much as I would love a double American sized fridge of Ampeg speakers, let's be realistic (for me). Small, powerful enough and cost effective. I have not used the word cheap. Small to fit into a sensible car, powerful enough for a small club and drummer, cost effective so I only blink once at the price.

This is the best and only way to check and remove all biases. Easy enough to do in principle, though there may be issues with speaker connections and impedence. Very happy to help but once we have 4 amps and 4 cabs there are 16 combinations to connect and disconnect and play through. So it could take some time. Also will you simply put a looper pedal to play something through or will some poor sod have to play the same pieces exactly the same way. They would have to played at the same volume as well, as a louder or softer output would be perceived differently. I would also expect some people to say that their amp plays slap better than non slap and no this 12" speaker is designed specifically for this amp and that's why it's not a fair comparison. I've just participated in a double blind medical test so decided to understand a bit more about it so read a lot on how biases creep in. After saying all this, excellent idea and happy to help.

Pmed you

I think you should buy one and report back.... Thx Rib

Be careful otherwise you might end up crafting a lovely lollipop stick

Welcome indeed. Read, ask loads of questions, post pictures of your bass. The fat fingers usually goes away. Didn't in my case but you should be fine. Not been to Glossop for ages, was brought up in Chesterfield but loved the peak district

It was designed for rear loading on a wooden body. I have two mahogany guitar blanks I got dirt cheap. I am planning to use those. However it took a lot longer to get the design right, especially using five pin pogo connectors. It had to slide in easily, be simple to lock, quick to adjust and be able to accomodate a wide range of pickups. It had to look good from the top as well. It has to fit in a quite narrow space as well. To be honest I bit off a lot more than I could chew with it. Took a lot of time up, I could have built a whole new guitar with the effort I put in. Not sure what you want by the dirty great hole. Is this on the six string above? The hole doesn't detract from the strength of the guitar as that's the aluminium floor and backbone. The space allows the pickups to be easily moved or to have three pickups. There's no extra strength value in having anything in that space and as its covered by a pickguard it's hidden. However it would be quite easy to put a block in the middle. Worth thinking about if I can see how to adapt the modular pickups to work from the top down rather than the bottom up. I'm walking dog so will on ponder on this.

You called?

Looked at that and thought the same thing. Two screws and two levers each 200mm ish from wall and each with 4kg on the end. A lot of leverage for two screws to handle. No idea what wall it's connected to and how long the screws are but I'd be worried.

Well, I have a wonderful investment opportunity my friend, Mr Ponzi, is currently working on...
