Gary Thain going some on Jazz Bass

Actually, the bass line on Lorraine is pretty awesome IMO

As a teenager myself a few hundred years back, i had The Magicians Birthday by Heep, and if you have a listen, there maybe some hot bass lines on that too. I cant remember anymore, been too long but it was a hell of an album. Hensley who was a brilliant writer , composed 99% of the tracks. It was slated a bit by the press, against albums like Look at Yourself, and Demons, but i love Byrons vocal and Boxs' guitar work on that discette

Hide the thread on the morning of Wonky's evening visit.

Indeed, but i couldnt be bothered to actually name every demographic he's targetted. Everyone knows already so i didnt really need to. I hope you havent been unfair and forgotten anyone

Relax. Have a beer

Isnt he too busy ripping off hard working amateur musicians to be reading this thread ?

I knew it ! Please keep details and let us all know. I dont have an oar in the water re this Mason to$$er, but i am chomping at the bit to hear the tw@t has finally met the wong ( right ) person.

Marvellous ! 12mm may well be strong enough if it's hardwood ply One thing i kept saying earlier, was that i wasnt going to use vinyl or any covering because of getting the amp back in the combo, but it's not the amp that'll be covered, it's the DIY sleeve ! What a muppet

This makes a lot of sense chaps ! Thanks

Thats pretty much my plan right there. No vinyl or such as it has to be stuck down, and then getting the head back in the combo would be a right trauma. Varnish only Currently have a stock of Titebond and plenty of screws. I may need some ...are they called coach bolts ?.... to mount the amp from the top as it were mounted in the combo. 4 big round headed bolts, possibly allen head.

In My Opinion.

Fake hardcore IMO

Not a good enough carpenter to go that route.

I wonder if it was an AH series - I.E. one TE 's stand alone heads. Unless someone cut the slotted end plates off a combo head, drilled the sides for attaching " ears " for a rack mount ?

12mm would seem better for weight and cost , just wondering if it's sturdy enough. I've had a look at edge extrusions / alloy angle plate and they're expensive for what they are.

Ah, okay. Yes saw that too, but he's changed the pickups to EMG's. It would seem he's modified the switching as well. There's no 3 way switches on mine

Yeah i saw that. It's been modified. None of the switches on mine are 3 way Was it a really sparkly finish on the reverb one ? There's a YT vid of him explaining what he did.

That's probably a damn good guess V, but it would be handy to know for sure. As of right now, if all switches are up, there's no output If the rearmost switch is down, the others dont switch on or off pickups, they just change tone slightly. Dont hear a lot of change when using the push pull

Thanks Paul, i now see the problem. Your TE head is not as wide. It looks more like a separate head, rather than a combo head Check the photo of mine. I thought most combo TE heads had the wide slotted ears each end , which i guess are for venting as they're not used as mounts.

I've had a right struggle finding any info on my axe, an Aria Pro II GT series GT-3. I've had a look on some archive sites but the catalogue for this series seems to be missing. It maybe a Korean build rather than Japanese, i dont know. No idea of the year. The switching options are confusing. All 3 are 2 way. Knob nearest the neck is Vol, knob towards the rear of the body appears to be a tone, but it's also a push pull.

Thanks Lf I wont be cutting anything on the cab itself. It's vintage and want to keep it as is, so the head can be put back when required. Any MDF or Plywood sleeve would be built so that the head can be unscrewed and removed anytime. I can use the 4 top mount holes as in the original mount. It will sit on a Barefaced 4x10 which is exactly the same width as the TE combo. About 2ft IIRC - very convenient. the 4x10 BF is also the same size front to back so no overhang there either. I would just be sanding the sleeve and coating with Poly varnish. If i covered it in Vinyl or carpet, it would be a struggle to get it back in the combo anytime

Was that custom made ? TE Combo heads, at least mine anyways, is 22 1/4 " wide, so not yer standard 19" rack mount
