That’s why you need a small sized amp and a cab that does not resonate. Way back when, I remember seeing my mate’s pint slowly move toward the grille above the power valves and tip over, shattering two of them and ruining his amp.

I wonder how many others will build the band limited lower cabinet. When I started badgering Stevie and Phil provably close to 4 years ago I wanted a single cab solution and since the MK 2 was finished, I been very happy. On to he MK3 and I am even happier and the thought of going to 2 cabs... Well they say the proof of the pudding is in the eating and Stevie has usually been right so I can’t wait to here the finely tuned system with the BC112 MK3 plus the reinforcement from the second 12”.

Fane do publish a number of designs using some of their drivers. They also have a fairly good basic guide to loudspeaker driver specifications. https://www.fane-international.com/resource Sadly I don't think any of them are any good for the OP

Yes you can see them clearly if you search Aguilar Factory Tour on YouTube where you can watch them being assembled.

I seem to remember that the early TH500s did have a problem with heat and they added a second fan that seems to have solved the problem,

Painted the grille today. Not sure I like it as much as the grey primer but will do a temporary fix of the badge tomorrow to see if it looks OK. Sorry about the picture quality as it is gig-ready. However it does give you a general idea of what it looks like. The paint is https://www.toolstation.com/industrial-spray-paint-500ml/p80525

Wilkinson is good value but there is usually a Gotoh alternative the is better at similar prices. Sadly there are fake Wilkinson copies on Evilbay and Ali Express so be careful. Wilkinson make a good copy of the Hipshot Ultralites but they are not imported into the UK by JHS, the ±UK distributor. I have fitted Wilkinson WJB650CR machine heads on one bass and Gotoh GB707 on another. The GB707 are better but the Wilkinsons are a real step up from most that are fitted to cheap far east basses. Wilkinson products have been made under licence by Gotoh in Japan and Sung Il in Korea http://www.sung-il.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=b031_01

My Fender Aerodyne is now sulking and refusing to come to the Bash next year... perhaps if you endorse side dots it may change its mind?

Well answered. I also have plenty of basses that cost over £160.

For that price I would want a bass as well. Can someone explain why they are worth that money?

Matrix do one but ironically, although it is class A/B amp, the power supply section is a switch mode power supply.

Why do you need a power conditioner. As far as I know, they were developed for the USA where supplies were inherently dirtier than here. YMMV.

Wow. On my way there now

I second that. My technique has gone from awful to not very good since I built mine!🤪

That is how it felt for me. The more you use it the more you will want to use it and other cabs sound odd. Of course you could use the cab as a PA speaker. It is flatter than almost any commercial PA Cabinet.

I am almost certain that they started in 2003. I found the import paperwork and I did a personal import for my Jazz from Japan in 2006. My serial number starts with a R which is said to be 2004/2005. I am no expert but I believe the neck determines whether it is Names a P or J.

If you stand in front of that port you with feel trouser flapping like you have never felt before. I suspect that it is the tuning of the lower braces that reflect the usually wasted stuff that falls to the bottom (removed tongue from cheek).

Sounds like me when I went to the main dealer with my car cos the window was stuck open. The mechanic showed me where I had accidently hit the button that stops the elctric windows being opened or closed. DOH!

Have you tried the Behringer on stage? Some of their amps are quite good if you take the power ratings with a pinch of salt.

I will second that.

Good looking cab that.

I suspect there will be more than enough room for the handle.

Sounds like a good buy.

The main difference between the Smoothound and some cheaper wireless systems is that the Smoothound is good at seeking free channels. Two low cost systems used by my guitarist wipe out the connection between the digital mixer and the control computer/tablet. Of course those may not be working on the 2.4GHz band

I have not had time to photograph it yet but here is the link to it on Reverb. Yamaha Rbx 375 https://reverb.com/item/29613107-yamaha-rbx-375?utm_source=ios-app&utm_medium=share The pictures below are how I received it! I was looking at going BEAD on a 4 but decided to get a 5 instead. I have just finish assembling it (sent completely disassembled) and despite a few “laughter lines” it seems to play well. The strings look like a cheap set and I would like a B with more tension but that is easily fixed. The action is ridiculously high, has probably been used for slapping. It is odd playing a flatter neck, my Aerodyne is a 7.5” radius but I think I will be fine with it. So shall I be brave and take it to open mic tomorrow? Maybe if I can get it set up to my liking. I bought my first 5 about 18 years ago and could not get on with it but now I am back to try again. I don’t plan to play 5s exclusively as I love my Aerodyne too much.
