Welcome Tony. You might find that you don't actually need a head and cab or a combo amp if you are only practising with headphones. There are many devices available for headphone practise. I use a Zoom B3 effects pedal which has a range of well known simulated effects and amp/speaker combos, a drum module with instant selection of a good variety of decent sounding rhythms a looper and a tuner with Mute function. While it is intended for use inline with an amp for performance it has features that are very useful whether you are at home or gigging. My amp is in an unheated room at the back of the house so during Winter I like to practise in the sitting room with the B3 and 'phones. It has been superseded by the B3n so the B3 is quite affordable on the second hand market (see Effects for Sale). That's just one option but all effects pedals of this sort are easier to ship than even a modest combo. Good hunting

Welcome PTP.

Welcome Lee.

Cool. PMd.

Welcome Trav.

Welcome Manny.

Welcome Tony. B15N style cab build FINISHED! Two 1x15s?

You've seen this I suppose?

Forget that! I want a go on the ice cream maker.

I found Harlows quite good in Derby.. There is a BoT branch too: Harlows Branch Finder

Yes. Up to a point. I want to terminate the neck in a less pointy way like the Strandberg that Jellyfish suggested: I am interested to discuss your offer further however. Very kind of you. PMd.

Good to see you matey! We've missed you over at the DoI.

Aw. I thought you were going to draw the body outline on the floor and jigsaw it out. If you have a heavy enough rug and it's off the main gangway your missus might not ever notice... Have we now got three contenders for longest build ever? You, Owen and me? Who's keeping book? If @ped wont expand his portfolio further for you with a site called BenchChat, I suppose we'll have to have your bench build here. If the bench has a bass clef monogrammed on it somewhere though, you should get away with it.

It looks stunning. Did your concerns over the cherry neck evaporate yet?

Does she have her own kiln? I used to do enamelling on copper sheet. It's something I'd love to do again, especially when doing name plates for my own projects (maybe others' too).

If you are really trying... PM me and I will give you a shortlist of power words that you can slip past the filter and that are guaranteed to get you banned, ostracized and lightly beaten. I've been kicked off a couple of sites before now. A couple of them more than once.

That's the beauty of it. Guy's never seemed to need to rise above the mix. I take example from that.

1. Are you channelling for the late Ken Russell? 2. I can do graphic, see? Stick your graphs up the orifice of your choice. They're just busy work for the terminally sluggish. 3. Never heard of it. Progress chasers; cuh! I thought I'd finished with the rat race. Heeheehee (Wotcha Stubzy!)

I didn't mean it to look the way it came out. I might get a bit done during the lock down but not a lot. I'm using the time to allow ideas to gently percolate. You know how it is...

It's looking right nice and all.

It's odd isn't it? You see a bell, you expect it to make a sound... not light up. I mean, I'd hate to flick a light switch and instead hear the ghost of Big Ben while I still struggle to see how many groats I have left in my man purse.

Yes. I'm thinking on those lines. Not a full headstock but a tactile heel if you will. Maybe a faux volute because I do like a good one now and again. (Not many people know that.)

Welcome Nick. Go on then... what's the Lou Reed connection?

Welcome Paul.
