It's how I would have wired it but I would have performed a battery test to verify which terminal is the positive on the driver.

There is a thing to Google, then.

If you only use the combo on its own i.e. without an extension cab then it doesn't matter which way round you connect it.

That much research I managed, but who knows, my imaginary 80s throwback revue might need to play Wembley …

My Trace Elliot 715SMC combo had a farty speaker so I've replaced it. But due to the money-accumulating time that elapsed between taking the old one out and putting the new one in, I cannot remember which wires went to which terminal on the speaker.

The amp has a white wire and a white wire with a black stripe.

Following research (internet and asking a mate), I've attached the white wire to the +ve terminal on the speaker and the one with the black stripe to the -ve terminal. However, I'm not 100% sure that's correct.

So have I done it right? It's just possible I may want to hook up a cab in the future so it may make a difference.

Thanks y'all.

Seems I missed out

Especially since Shoreline Gold looks more like silver.

Of course, Fender often has a problem when coming up with appropriate finish names.

Firemist Silver? 

More like Metallic LPB.

Sonic Blue?

They should rename it Barely Blue!

Funnily enough, the original Cadillac Sonic Blue paint was sort of this colour:

Here are various faded Sonic Blue Cadillacs

Original colour of Firemist Silver:

And Shoreline Gold:

It was gravelly.

Not very tasty.

Are you him? Think it'd work as a stage act?

My brother had worms. Does that count?

Just wanted to take my porkpie hat off to the creator for the sawn-off machinehead in pic 3. Whatever you think about the level of craftsmanship generally, that is one massive FU to the norm. He is the The Shaggs of guitar modding.

Looks more like Robot Phlegm to me.

I like the name(s) more than the colour or shape, sadly, but if I was buying on name alone I'd be well up for some clown vomit. Or even rainbow unicorn poo.

Thanks. Are they the same hardware - pickups, bridge etc?

They should be, but given the eight-year difference who knows what might have changed? I've owned a RW precision and a Classic Series Jazz and the only difference I could really detect was the finish.

Reminds me a bit of this, though is completely different

I think RW are lacquer and classic series are poly.

We've had this before.

Are you Jacob Collier ?

Yes. And Jaco Pastorius. And Lemmy.

That's nothing. I learned to play bass, guitar, piano and didgeridoo whiile I were still in't womb, wrote my first symphony in wax crayons by 6 months, and at 5 I played my ultra-famous paper-and-comb concerto with backing vocals by a troupe of trained colobus monkeys at the Albert Hall to an audience including the Queen, John F Kennedy, John Lennon, the Aga Khan and Shergar.

At 10 I was practising 26 hours a day while busking in Times Square and made my first million playing you-hum-it-I'll-play-it to Michael Jackson (he hardly touched me btw). I married Kylie and played a duet with my other wife, Dua Lipa, before divorcing them both and moving to a Brazilian favela to get real. These days I'm so over the whole music thing, I've deliberately unlearned how to play and am now learning sitar, playing only behind my head with my feet.

What's more, we never had any famous or musical types in our family. We would have got up 2 hours before going to bed in a hole in the road but it was full of fake Yorkshiremen so we had to wait. Etc

Dead Or Alive / Nirvana, I'm genuinely fond of this

Just checked my memory of DorA was correct and got this. One of these kids is not like the others …

Anyone have experience using one of these? As I’m rarely given any monitoring whatsoever, am considering getting one, but I’m confused by the instruction to place directly opposite the amp. Because that would mean in front of me, wouldn’t it? I am of course a modest sort, but am worried about looking daft half-hidden by a speaker.

There’s an admin option to change the size of YT embeds globally but otherwise one is SOL.

I do t think I’ve ever tried it but reckon I’d like it. I love corned beef which has a similar vibe

It’s a bit like spongy bacon

Go on then, I’m in if you still have it.

Ooh exiting, I’ve just received a message I’ve earned a new title 😁

What is thy bidding, master?

£200+? It's enough to make me wish I'd carried on buying records.

Saw RHCP at Portsmouth Poly when they were touring Mother's Milk in 1990. Flea dressed up for the occasion in a pair of Y-fronts. Ticket price was probably less than a fiver and no binoculars needed. One of my all-time favourite gigs.

Ah shoot. I have joined the ranks of collaborators 🤢
