Enjoy. A nice bottle of Chianti and strong mature cheddar will soothe the vibes henceforth 😎 Or a gallon rough cyder. ( each to their own)

I run a Rumble 800HD or a Rumble 500 thro 1 or 2 Super Compacts depending on the venue. I find the Fender Rumbles very pleasing to my ears. They offer a great tone when set flat and have a very usable tone stack to create a wide variety of sounds. The latest 800HD amps seems to have flat tone that is a little more mid forward than older 500 design, but can easily tweeked to taste. The older 500 front end seemed warmer somehow. BTW the Rumble 500 paired with my single One10 is a lovely mini rig for some of the pub jam sessions I used to enjoy before the lockdown and can easily compete with the Fender Rumble 500 combo. I have to agree with @alexclaber that the One10 can shift as much air as a normal 2 x 10ins cab.

Snap 😎 Bought the Charlie Parker book for bass, which has some really tasteful riffs.

Don't think so as the ports are front facing. I too occasionally stack my 2 SC on their side and I don't hear any difference. I definitely hear a difference when running my One10 on it's side. It sits on an angled Stagg stand and the bottom end just seems fuller and richer, as if the port needed to be off the floor. Okay someone is going to say that I'm loosing the "coupling effect " that occurs when bass cabs are sat on the floor but the One10 appears to sound better to my ears.(which are 68 yrs old and were abused in the 70s while playing in front of loud two 2x4x12 stacks😆)

Dunc, place the One10s on their side. Lowers the height but allows the base facing ports to extend the bass response out of the side of the stack. Believe me it really makes a difference. Enjoy your lovely, lovely rig.

Yup, these add to an already extensive Sire Marcus Miller. The range seems to offer something for every bass player at price points to meet all pockets. I absolutely love the roasted hard rock maple necks & fretboards. The V5 passive appears to be a workhorse bass really appeals to me 😎

Now that is a beautiful piece of wood.😎 I'm really looking forward to seeing it after the Tru-oil is finished. Looks like another great project!

BTW while reviewing the spreadsheet again it's interesting to note that Leo Fender moved the distance between the 12th fret and the front coil pole pieces from 332mm to 344mm when he moved from MusicMan to G & L , Stingray 332mm and G & L L1500 344mm. Just saying!

Here is a Excel I picked up somewhere which lists Pickup positions. I would guess that, since the distance from the 12th fret to the pole pieces of the front coil on a 34 ins Stingray is 332mm, the distance from the 12th fret for a 32ins scale would be 307mm (332 - 25mm). On a 32ins scale the 12th fret is 16ins between the fret and the bridge, so the difference of 1ins ( 25.4mm) should be used to reduce the front poles piece dimension , 332 -25 = 307. It would be helpful to support this theory if @scrumpymike could measure the distance from 12th fret to front pole piece on his 30.5 ins scale Stingray. If the theory works the dimension should be 332-50= 282mm P.S. I measured my MM USA Sterling and it was 335mm Pickup position.xlsx

Yer let the 1800 grit soak in the Blossom Hill for at least 15 minutes to achieve that soft & fruity ruby glow. The finish looks sooooo much better after a bottle or two😂

If you can pick up another combo for the price of a 2x10 I would go for the second combo. Similar form factor and 100% redundancy if one amp fails. Simples 😎

Stew, is the neck pocket the same as a Fender?

Go for it, the Super Twin seems to be just right for your needs. Me, I prefer my 2 x SC with a Mesa Subway D800 or Fender Rumble HD800. I don't need all that high end stuff the SC range suits me fine with the flexibility of 1 or 2 cabs as required. PS wife issue. I 've always hidden a new bass under the bed in our spare bedroom for a couple of weeks and slowly added it the rack in the music room without too much fuss. Not sure if you can manage to get the Super Twin under your bed. Cheaper than a divorce 😂

Nah, not for me, headstock too long, odd body shape and difficult to get a decent case to fit. Not for me

Well that is nice. I have never taken much notice of Jackson basses as the headstock & body shapes did not appeal to me. BUT this really does present something kinda different at a very reasonable price point. I like the neck scheme of compound radius, carbon reinforcement & thumb wheel truss rod adjustment at the heel. Understated head stock and potentially a wide variety of tonal options. Might just be my first non Fender/ Gibson acquisition. Look forward to hearing some personal reviews. Didn't know Fender owned Jackson🤐

Keep it quiet and DON'T tell Scott, or he'll unleash a tsunami of emails.😂

I hope you gave it dam good thrashing afterwards 😂 In good olde John Cleese fashion 😂😆

Ordered one.

Now that is very interesting. Classic bridge & Pup, seems to deliver some lovely tones in the vid. Flats with maple neck & fret board for me.

That looks handsome, I love the grain bleeding through the nitro, looks & feels organic. Personalised belly & forearm body contour is just such a great job. I do think white pickguard has the most dramatic appearance. Please share some sound clips when you have a chance as I'm really interested to hear the SD 51'P stack Pup. As you know I've used the Lindy Fralin split 51 & Jess Loureiro split 51 so I'm eager to learn more about the SD stacked '51P. Great work, good job, well done!

Is Paddy Power or Coral offering odds? If so I'll have £1 each way on the Basschat v3 Faital. 😂

There are a huge number of expert builders on Basschat and I have learnt from their experiences. Do some reading & research on the Build thread before second guessing any task you are not sure about, it will save you time, effort, money and "tears".
