... really ? Oooh ya, so it is. ! Bargain

Surely in this day and age it's a £2 coin ??

Someone needs to change the elastic band

PS i'm on a laptop, Win 10, Firefox. Cant be sure but dont remember seeing this site error before today PPS Its not because my attachment limit has been reached. You have used 183.87 MB of your 488.28 MB attachment limit.

I've tried about 4 times, still get the error. Renamed the file, no good. Tried a different .jpg , still no good.

I keep getting an error when trying to upload a small .jpg. Its only 69kb so not a whopper

Mine is the G75 and never had the teeniest problem from it at any gig

Most pickups are passive.

I have both a 15 ( 1x15 Trace Elliot SMX 300 Combo ) and 10's ( Barfaced 4x10. ) I love both, but the weight of the Barfaced with my Ampeg head weighs way less and much easier to move around

That was my plan - i have wood drill bits with blades like shovels, from 10mm to 25mm. I also have a Bosch pillar drill, so i can at least drill accurately perpendicular. I'll hog out most of the material, letting the wood shovels clear the worst

I'm using ply rather than plastic, but i'll take the advice and get bearing cutter

I might look for a top bearing in that case.

Indeed Paul, cutting your scratch plate that way seems perfect, but thats not the same thing Cutting a cavity with a router bit that has a bearing on the bottom doesnt seem feesible to me

I decided to go the straight double flute bit, no bearing at all The template only has to last 2 pickup cavities. It's aslo a bottom cleaning ( ooer ) bit so the floor of the cavity is as nice as the sides I cant see a bearing on the bottom of the cutter is any good at all . How would that work ?

I've now got the other work to do that i wished Andy could be doing, but if i take my time and ask Andy questions, even if he's on the bog, i should be ok

Probably the best way, i would think

I have never seen ' active ' Barts either. Or MECs

I've had the Xvives ( first gen ) before my current wireless setup, and they were fine till they stopped charging up via USB. They lasted a year or so so a waste of over 100 quid Then i went upmarket and bought a Line 6 Relay. 50 quid more than the Xvives but so much better all round. Quality, and no non - consumable batteries to contend with https://www.andertons.co.uk/line-6-wireless-guitar-offer

Dammit - more expense. I have to buy a black sharpie

You bar steward. You facked up with the dots - i said none !! 🤓

Not sure about using a 12mm as a routing bit for pickup cavities. Isnt the radius a bit big for the tight corners ? I was thinking 6.3mm bit I am now thinking it might be easier to find a non bearing straight bit. Shank same size as cutting blades, and use the shank to run along the template ?

Ah, yes. I didnt think about that. So the sides of the rout ( pickup cavity ) become the template as you get further down , because the bearing will run round the edge as if it was running round the template ? Are the bearings the exact same size as the cutting part of the bit ?

I agree on the plunge doubling the prices of palm routers, as i've been window shopping. So if using a top bearing bit, what do you do when you want to rout deeper ? Surely the bearing drops below the template ? Also, do all cavity routing bits with top bearings, make the bottom of the cavity nice and flat/clean ?
