Oh I see now!!!

I love a renovation project! Might just be the camera angle, but the remaining pickup looks like a standard jazz size, whereas the cavities look slim soapbar-sized. What’s going on there?

I love the fact you bought it for your front room! Awesome stuff. I can imagine it sounds immense! I’d assume the bulb had gone, what with the age and all. Hopefully you get it sorted easily - will be the coolest living room amp ever!

Chucking new stuff in a skip should be a criminal offence. Felt bad skipping a 20yr old tumble dryer today that I’ve already fixed twice in the past.

Drums don’t tend to sound great through guitar or bass amps, due to their limited frequency range. You’d be best off with a full range cab for that purpose.

Gretsch Junior Jet has a 40mm nut (I think)

Hello All, my memory for names is terrible, so I am sorry to have to ask, but who had the jag mute retrofitted to a P Bass? There’s someone in the “Repairs & Technical” thread with questions!

I’m fairly sure there was a bass at the SWBB with one fitted. Lemme see if I can find out who…

That is a damn fine colour combo. I am a P bass with flats sort of a guy, but I appreciate it takes all sorts to make the world go around.

Nearly finished rehousing this old combo head. Someone on Basschat offered it for free (!) in the recycling section here a while ago. I can’t find the messages to name drop them and thank them again. 12mm ply, original knobs were missing so put on this hideous set. Just got to find screws to hold it in to the case now. It was supposed to have some sort of fault, but after a quick poke around and reseating the power amp to preamp cable, it works beautifully!

Paint it with emulsion and topcoat it with matte or satin varnish. It’s what I did with my micro cab. 2 years in and it looks pretty good still 👍

Hey @Rosie C! @JohnDaBass made a combo by modifying Phil’s plans;

Weird - the actual vintage ones have lower bids. Almost normal.

I’d go for wide and low, aluminium maybe (like these https://ebay.us/m/tmu7Ur)

This thread feels like it started drinking in the afternoon, and really needs to go home now.

I don’t know what that is, but I know not to google something with that combination of words in it.

Maybe some of the internal bracing was damaged when the foot incident occurred? Sounds like more than a damping issue to me. Could send it to Alex for an assessment then claim on insurance?

Cut a bit of wood to sit on the pad, then the cab feet won’t warp the pad. Sorted!

Surely it’s the Rabbit Hutch?! Thank you @scrumpymike and the Scrumpettes for another great day out. Got to try some lovely basses, ate some lovely food, chatted to some lovely people! I just tried the Trace head through the tiny blue cab to see how knackered it was, but all I got was immense Trace sound through an impossibly small speaker! To all the people I told that my son had knackered the micro cab, I was wrong! Doh!

Result! Looks ace, well done 👍

Also need to change those knobs. Maybe cream ones?

Nearly there - just need to find some bolts to hold the amp in. Got feet on the side opposite the handle so it can stand on end, too. This B&Q plywood is shit, though - not using that again!

Had one in Olympic white, but sold it for something else. Was close to buying the same one back, but some boring real life stuff robbed me of my fun budget. Will get one again soon!
