I know it's a bit academic as everything will be black but nice that the curves of the plate still work with the new body outline - even better than the original actually. Seeing your pic, if the original pearloid plate had matched the new bridge I'd have been tempted to re-use it and go for a bit of retro bling 😎

Agree with all of the above! Whenever possible I re-use the screw from the original button. If I have to use the screw supplied with the Schallers (usually because the head of the original is too big) and the hole in the bass is oversize, I plug it with a large (kebab-style) cocktail stick. Just dip the sharp end into wood glue, push firmly into hole, trim overhang off when set, and re-drill smaller hole.

I suspect it's got something to do with the 'rhythm' / 'groove' you get into when you're working against the clock 5 days a week - a bit like bass-playing come to think of it.

Just playing catch-up after a long weekend on the I-o-W to catch Cream of Clapton concert (Paul Ruck was amazing, house band excellent, and bass player so good that I seriously thought about cancelling this build and throwing myself off Yarmouth pier). Anyway, I'm better now - and considerably cheered up by Andy's progress with Rascal Lyte Mkll ☺️

"... took about 40 minutes overall ..." Ah, the joys of doing a job for which you have all the necessary knowledge, tools and experience. If I'd done this you'd be talking 40 hours - mostly spent thinking and plucking up courage - and it would STILL be wrong 😕

I think Linus27 makes a good point. Haven't used any of the specific heads listed in the survey. My 'other options' vote is for the Mesa Subway 800+ based on my experience of gigging two Two10S cabs with that head in a classic rock covers band. If I'm using the Mesa with a single Two10S I just switch the impedance to 12ohms.

Thanks Andy - I just love it when you talk dirty 😄

Good to know that the neck has been awarded the Andyjr seal of approval. I know it's early days but I'm really liking the way things are shaping up 🙂 Did you have to alter the neck pocket?

Fully agree with the OP review of the Two10. I also have a One10 which I love for home practice and small gigs with the original material Americana band I occasionally play with. I've also owned a Super Midget T, which I moved on as the HF capability didn't bring anything to my party. At the moment I own a pair of SC3s and a pair of Two10s and am part-way through a thorough comparison to establish the best rig for my main gigging band (classic rock covers mainly in pubs and other small/medium venues). The idea is to try the various permutations of my BF cabs and the amps I own at our weekly gigs for a couple of months. Early days but I can report that the SC3s/Mesa Subway 800+ and Two10s/Genzler Magellan 800 are equally amazing if slightly different combinations. Although I'm not a slapper (!?), the fairly aggressive pick style that I regularly use is best reproduced by the SC3s. Hopefully I will be able to post a proper comparison review topic along the lines of the excellent OP above before too long.

And it's 'welcome' from me too!

That's definitely alright!!

Very nice to look at, to hear, and no doubt to play. What strings are you using?

Me too! Hang on a minute - I AM the lucky owner 😃

Me too!

OK, side dots are definitely in - can't have any no-shows at the bash ☺️

Not saying I don't want swifts at the 12th either 😉

Oh no - I hate unmarked fretboards 😕
