  1. Isnt Limba also known as Korina ? Just curious. I think there's black and white Korina
  2. Although poor quality, i still see no fretlines, and with the best will in the world, it's hard to make old fretlines disappear , after been ripped out

    What are those 2 rectangular patches at body end of the fretboard ? They look a little bit like brass
  4. I was thinking the same, but AFAIK, Andy didnt have a full width piece ( or matched 2 piece ) Purple H to cover the whole front. I would have gone for that otherwise. Still, that Purple sandwich is going to look stupendous.
  5. You have made a mistake by assuming 10's have " quicker response " as you call it. There's no such thing. It depends entirely on the manufacturer as to what any speaker reproduces and how it does that. You can get flabby 10's and tight 15's and so on. Surely you will only be changing the cabs because of the tone you desire. Only 7 kg ( 3.5kg per cab ) is not worthing dumping your MB cabs for. Tone wise, if you prefer Bergs, then that is the best reason to change. If the Bergs were half the weight, i could understand , but they're not half the weight. Stacking vertical is your best option for dispersion and getting the cabs nearer your ear. Adding extra cabs of identical nature , or removing indentical cabs, ususally affects the amount of air you can shift , rather then gaining or losing bottom end.
  6. The 130 TNT is an 80 watt combo, unless you add a 2nd 8 ohm cab.
  7. I'd say the same as the OP. No old fretlines, so they weren't defretted. There's no epoxy coating either. The shine is just down to years of playing which ended up putting a vague shine on the board. Stage lights will make it look shinier than it is
  8. Not sure why, but it reminds me a tad of an old Burns Bison thats had some very * tasty mods done * Did i say tasty ? Beg your pardon. I meant utter shyte
  9. Its hard to imagine, looking at the thickness of the purple on sapele, how it could move at all, let alone curve. As a layman, i'd say if it was that easy for the glued pieces to curve one way, a vicious clamping could turn it back from whence it came
  10. Indeed, younger and better looking than Willis. I think i've redeemed myself
  11. It's a whopper. I've emailed the guy and told him he has a Mag 4 not a Mag 2 and had a thank you response , but as he states in his added description, he couldnt change the title, which i think is because once it has bids on, he cannot do, but can add an addendum at the bottom of the page, which he has done
  12. Oh much laughage ! He'd get more money doing stand up
  13. The same happened when i bought some Entwistle Neos, and the magnets got close and ipso facto, i more or less needed a crow bar.
  14. It wasn't me. I swear on my pet Camel, Ivan
  15. Its a Magnum 4, not a Magnum 2 as he states. I owned a Mag 3 and it has regular pots, but the 4 had the all singing dancing mahoojits Mags 1 and 2 were the oddball shape. Flat eric of these forums has one on his website http://flatericbassandguitar.blogspot.com/2011/10/ovation-magnum-bass.html
  16. Pups look like humbuckers, but they're really single coils , aren't they ? Not sure, just i remember reading somewhere
  17. Find the owner that done those mods, and stick him with a cattle prod. And then another prod. And one more

    That Alembic copy looks awesome
