[quote name='thewalruswaspaul' post='171882' date='Apr 7 2008, 10:54 PM']Thanks Warpig, Its nice to have someone actually answer my question instead of slagging off the bronco , did you have to do any mods to get the SCPB-1 to fit ? .[/quote] Thats ok mate! Just needed to sand abit of the pick-up hole out, and use wider screws for the adjustment holes.

[quote name='jjl5590' post='171269' date='Apr 7 2008, 11:38 AM']True, I could, but then that would only be a half-stack, and I doubt will be loud enough. Don't you mean two 8ohm 210s? (The Hartke amp is 4ohms, anyways)[/quote] Did you start out as a guitarist? Go to a few local rock gigs and check out the bassists rigs, and you'll soon see that alot of people dont need 2x 4-10's. 2x2-10's is definatly loud enough.

I stuck a Seymour duncan SCPB-1 in mine made a world of difference. Ignor the haters! Oh and any rail type pick up will work on a bass, its the same principal electronic wise.

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='170643' date='Apr 6 2008, 12:18 PM']how much buffing did you do between coats?[/quote] i went over the primer with either 1200 or 1000 wetted. then the final coat again with the same grit.

Thanks everyone! It was just plastikote spray paint, my first attempt at it, i dont think ill be doing it again though.

If it was mine id go for the red tort, but im just following orders hehe

Defiantly kept the low end well. It did most things for me from a light drive to a full on bumble bee fuzz![/quote] Yes! Exsactly! Alot of people talk bad about it, but i find it suits the sound im after. The sansamp is on 90% of the time though.

Well i finally completed it today, after many mistakes and loss of interest.... I dont have any good pics of the original, just the sanded down body. Its a Jim Deacon type 'no-name' Strat. After Sanding: Final:

Very basic board so far, saving space for a 105q. And the rack stuff:

Nearly done modding mine Just need the gold strings The bandmates have coined it 'the bling bass'

45-65-85-105 although i want to go heavier.

Yes it will all work together. It is fine to use the 4x10 by itself, itll just be abit quieter. Wheels (Castors) can be bought at any hardware place like B&Q, and installed by someone with some DIY knowledge. IMO the marshall stack will be better in the long run because the cabs can take more wattage, so you could always upgrade the head when you feel the need to. Abit of De-Ja-Vo there

My TU2 tunes my low b very well, i even dropped it to F# and it was ok, just a bit slower tracking.

[quote name='ahpook' post='166635' date='Mar 30 2008, 11:29 PM']do you find that as the signal level drops, the overdrive sounds suddenly disappears ?[/quote] Erm never had that problem, maybe your's was faulty

it took alot of experimenting and time to find a setting that i liked, there was a fine line between 'too much' and 'too little'.

Im relatively new to this effects malarky, over the past couple of months ive built up a board, i use my sansamp BDDI 75% of the time, and my ODB-3 for when i want a more metallicy sound.

[quote name='Jonny Walker' post='166597' date='Mar 30 2008, 10:18 PM']stop being such tight asses guys... it's an excellent pedal and you can build to your specs ! I think its a really good idea Dave.[/quote] +1 considering the price on a built unit, this is a great deal. Id be interested.

By accident i plugged my 12v lead into my daisychain luckily the daisy chain took the damage and saved the pedals.
