fleabag

Cheers Stevie - i can only blame you for starting this You may have remembered the Beymas you and the others talked about , Phil etc, and bought 4 and fitted them to a pair of ex Peavey 210 cabs, but i didnt build those from scratch, so this really is my first. Watch this space and see me accidently build it upside down

Ta Rob 3rd panel attached and now attacking the braces - marking up etc

This is what the plans look like. I had a Peavey BVX which had the Fane driver in, but the cab is the size of a st. bernard's kennel, and built with 21mm ply. ...94lbs and the dimensions of a family size tent. I tried to sell it - not a peep. Pulled the driver out and tried to give the cab away - not a peep. So the decision was made to make a smaller, lighter cab.

I wasn't going to post a cab build, for a couple of reasons. Never done one before, so envisaged a right mess, with me accidently glueing myself to the carpet or something. And also, its been done many times by others, and bass guitar builds are much more interesting and require more talent. But ... i 've had some terrific help, and really its a kind of big thank you. Stevie and others set me on the path, but i was still panicking about how to go about it. I did a forum search for past builds and picked on one poor chap, messaged him, and waited for a reply. This BC'er was one Richard H. It panned out a week or so into the build that we knew each from a bass bash at Reading. Anyways - after i failed to find ply in 15mm anywhere near me, ( 15mm is apparently an unusual size ) and when i did find a source, which was a hell of long way away, they wouldn't deliver one board. Also, i had to build this in my flat, as i've no garage, no decent power saws to cut accurately. And it was obvious i couldn't fit an 8ft x 4ft board in my home and be able to walk round it. Enter Richard H. ( not in the biblical sense ). RH sourced the poplar ply in the 15mm i wanted, measured it out using the plans found by Stevie for the Fane Sovereign LF 600 watter, cut the panels, and delivered it to me. Remembering that he had to adjust all the sizes as well, because the plans were for 18mm board. A huge result already and we hadn't started yet. Its still not finished ... but here we go 1) First butt joint - yeehar ( yes i'm having to build it in my hallway ) 2) Not enough hands or places to work comfortably, and having to use my camera tripod to help support the panel More later

Agreed - watched a fair few of his solo vids on here / YT and some of his funk band. Great stuff indeed

Mike ( @urb on these forums ) was doing something very similar years ago in 2007, and later in this 2010 YT vid

So it seems But ..how can an option that was there, not be brought back ? If the changeover altered a few things at the time then great, what can anyone do. But the PM editing option was there post changeover, so fail to see why its not feasible to get it back, but i guess the software guru can say why.

Thats weird Charic, since it was already an option after the changeover. It just didn't last very long, but it was there.

Are we still no nearer to finding out why the ability to edit a PM has inconveniently disappeared ?

You'd think someone owning / trying to sell a £1500 bass would at least make an effort to take some photos with a better camera than he used What the hell did he use - a Brownie 127 ? Idiot

Posting with joke prices thinking he's a comedian would simply make me move on and find something else

Dammit - you just reminded about 2 bands i forgot i saw ! Blame the jazz woodbines of my youth Floyd at Wish You Were Here tour - Knebworth , '75 i think Led Zep London Ally Pally - maybe the same year. Brain cells have departed en masse, so not sure of the year. Early / mid 70's fo sho

Thanks DT, yes i forgot about upward motion being helped by the other hand first then slowly lowering the baked beans ( other cans of food are available ) on their own.

I had a movement of my own after laughing too hard

Yup, been there. Tennis first, then Golfers ( golfers is the inside, in the exact opposite place to tennis ) then tennis returned again - 30-Love I'm thinking mine was nowhere near as bad as yours, but i had the anti-inflams and tramodol and solpadol, and he also told me to rest my arm somewhere, like along the arm of my sofa ( and sat down, as well ) so my arm was kinda parallel to floor but only the hand itself was in the air, hanging over the arm of the sofa. Then, get a can of baked beans ( other food is available ) and hold the can, palm down, and do wrist raises. He did explain what this did, but whether it helped i dont know because in all 3 cases of T and G elbow i had, they cleared up after around 6 months

Ooh, tough one. Toss up between Zappa, The Tubes, or King Crimson ( the levin / belew line-up ) Hmm...damn. Which one..

" Mashine heads are original. " " The base, when in use, was used in a studio environment only " He managed to spell ' environment ' , but not ' bass ' or ' machine '

Top class mr Bleat - a lovely track

Oh fo sho. The will of the people is always right. Just like the customer

Max Bygraves said the same thing, didn't he ?

Turnip lips ? Maybe its tulips ?

About 25, 000 didnt bother
