Re: What's on your work bench?

Not on mine. This needs a full overhaul to bring it back to its former glory (if there ever was any). It is a No. 4. BG's work bench has first right of refusal. Shipping to BG on me. If it goes to anyone else then shipping costs are yours. 20240527_161239.jpg Ooh thanks muchly, I will take if that’...

Re: Whats on your amp workbench?

Had Sunday lunch then a gossipy catch up with my project lead from my old company, CTO is appearing to be even more unhinged, which was nice. Consequently only got an hour or so to do the tolex wrap. I’d love crème vents like the head I did for Ben but can’t justify the costs yet. Anyway, wrapped it...

Avoiding house painting, I remembered to put the vents in :)

Re: Whats on your amp workbench?

Finally spending some quality time with the Peter Green AC15 cab :)

Cab jointed, all voids filled ready for tolex. Vents to be added first! Don’t forget BG!

Re: Cab building tips?

Other advice: Make a circle-cutting jig for your router to cut the speaker hole. Just cut the rough hole first with a jigsaw (lesson learnt hard way). Corners are a bastard to tolex if you're not covering them. You never have enough clamps. Never had a problem with circle cutting, never bothered wi...

Re: Cab building tips?

I should also have mentioned - treat routers with respect, they can kick back and if they do you know about it.

Re: Cab building tips?

If you don't have the tools for finger jointing or dovetails then there are two better options - you sound like you have a router for rounding over - so : 1. Double rebated corner joints Sounds way harder than it is - its just two router cuts on each corner and gives way more glue area https://woodw...

Rhett Schull for bassists.

Scott’s early stuff was awesome but now I just find them insufferable.

Re: Server Issues

After some more fiddling last week or two, the server seems to be behaving properly. When we were having issues, CPU was running at 180%

Average is now 41%.

Closing this ticket ;)

Re: Anyone like bass guitars?

Picked myself up a Sterling Sub Ray 4 today, in lovely sea foam green, will get pics tomorrow when the light is better, neck feels really nice with the satin finish, just like the higher end EB guitars I’ve played… just need to drop the action a touch and she’ll be a runner! Had one for a few years...

Re: Anyone like bass guitars?

I've become a total Greco Geek! This one is an absolute darling! She's been around the block a few times, which just adds to the mojo. Plays like butter, as all Greco's seem to, and I think she is mostly intact, though I will look under the hood later this week and see if the pickup's are the origi...
