That's a great bass for the money - I would have had a hard time passing that up myself!

Well either you want a monophonic analogue octaver or you don't. The OC3 is all digital and sounds like it to my ears. Have a look on YouTube for OC2 clips, the OC50 sounds the same.

Mine's long gone I'm afraid... It sounds like an OC2 and, as I said, mine tracked REALLY well.

The Chord OC-50 is the cheapest octaver I've owned... Ironically it was also one of the best! Can be had for about £25 delivered brand new from Amazon. It's a clone of the OC2 with an additional switchable drive setting that adds a nice, useable synthy dirt sound. Also tracked reliably to a low G! If I ever need an octaver again that'll be the one I'll buy...

I really liked the Terrors I had (had 2 at different times). I would like another but I'd worry it would be too much vintage at once with the Barefaced 2x10.

Musikding sell a kit but it's a different format altogether: [url="http://www.musikding.de/NE-04-bass-preamp-kit"]http://www.musikding...bass-preamp-kit[/url] Not a very pleasing format either...

This looks like one of those projects Glowforge would have on their webshop! Awesome work! What laser cutter do you have, by the way? Been tempted by one of the cheapo chinese 30w ones as I enjoy tinkering...

Now there's a good question! Just thinking out loud I would assume you can do without the capo. I believe the capo is just to remove the variable of nut height/slot depth, which is already taken care of with the zero fret. Interested to hear a more experienced take on this though...

And there was me all happy with my 3leaf Enabler.... This might be more me...

[quote name='Geddys nose' timestamp='1467876453' post='3086835'] Not done one of these in a few years. [url="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/onebassplayer/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-07/20160706_170534_zps2aul6c1q.jpg.html"][/url] [/quote] As one of my kid's books says: "Oh my gosh and golly"... Was just thinking that revalving either of those heads would probably cost about the same as buying the Laney combo sitting next to your rig!

[quote name='sblueplanet' timestamp='1467758723' post='3086072'] Be interesting to know how the bass plays strung as BEAD with the longer string length on the lower strings. [/quote] The speaking length of the string is no different and neither is the string tension so it will make no difference whatsoever...

[quote name='TAzMilitello' timestamp='1467789929' post='3086182'] Uh! Thanks...Bergantino makes active speakers, too? I did not know this! Thanks man! Great Bergantino cabs! [/quote] They don't make them any more, but made a 1x12 and 3x10 for a few years.

My initial thought was the barefaced one you mentioned. Owen has a Bergantino IP112 for sale at the minute which would fit the bill too.

They build to spec... If what you want matches the specs of the J and P neck they use! I asked about a 50s/60s P neck and they couldn't do it. Things may have changed...

That's a good point - what's your input signal like? Is it healthy enough to drive the Markbass effectively?

More speakers would help you more than more watts. Add another super compact. I say that knowing it's not cheap or easy to do, but the results would be better than adding more wattage.

Russian Circles fan are we Andy?

[quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1466767076' post='3078564'] Thanks Ian. Your new bass looks fab as well [/quote] Thanks Gareth, I'm pretty happy with it I have to say!

[quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1466763630' post='3078514'] Just to be super fussy, does anyone else wish they'd use black screws/bolts to hold the speakers in? [/quote] The vintage grill takes care of that!

Looking good Gareth! Not long to go now.
