One question I forgot to ask is does it make a difference if the new speakers are single or dual voice coil? is one better than the other?.........😀

I’ve been offered a 30w practice amp for next to nothing because the speaker is farting a bit the rest of the amp works fine My plan is to build a sealed 2 x 10 cab with a removable back and use the amp to power them I know that the amp isn’t really powerful enough to run them at volume but it’s only going to be home use and my plan is to re-use the cab with a separate amp head when I can afford one So my question is if the amp is rated at 4ohms then would the 2 new speakers need to be 8ohms to run them in parallel so they would end up being 4ohm or would that not work?? I haven’t got a clue when it comes to this kinda stuff so any advice would be greatly appreciated.........😀

Cheers mate I’ll pm my address

You sure mate? I don’t want you being out of pocket

I’ll have them if they are still available how much do you want for postage?

I don’t take offence at all mate extract away!! Sometimes I need to curb my spontaneity because some of the time the choices I make are sooo wrong!!!!.............😳

It could be or it’s my mum I can’t decide!!🤭

I’m getting better my last two builds stuck to the original plan........😀

Hopefully it will turn out like this but with gold hardware (sorry for the crappy picture)

Now that I’ve just got the electrics to do on my ‘51 and ‘72 P bass builds it’s time for a new build............ My plan is to build a 5 String P bass The body is going to be Paulownia I’m probably going to buy the body this time as they are on EBay for £23 and it’s going to painted it Gloss Black The neck is going to be Maple/Maple which I’m going to colour match the headstock and add Black block inlays The pickguard is going to be black and all the hardware is going to be Gold/Brass as all my basses have either Black or Chrome hardware so I fancied something a bit different.................😀

I thought they were bronze/brass and I really liked how looked that it made up mind to use Brass on my next build..........😀

I honestly didn’t look look at it like that!! That makes perfect sense!! I’ll think I’ll change them tomorrow..........😀

I did think the same but the control plate is Chrome so I thought Chrome screws would look ok but I might change them both to black I haven’t quite decided yet............😀

The body has been sanded and Danish oiled, I’ve reshaped the headstock to a more traditional shape Now I’ve just got to source and fit the electrics I’m going to string it with some black tapewounds I'm really happy with the way it looks.............😀

Managed to get time to do a bit on this build cavities are all routed out Just need to re-shape the head stock then give the body a bit of a sand over then a few coats of danish oil Here’s a mock up so far........... I'm hoping that when I danish oil the body it will go almost the same colour as the neck............😀

Hope you get it sorted mate! I had kinda the same thing as you I had to move out of my house otherwise I would have lost my sale and had to move in with my parents who haven’t exactly got a big house so me, the missus and my two kids had to move into their spare room for about a month till the purchase of the new house was completed what made it worse was I was moving 300miles away and we finally got the keys 2 days before Christmas!!

My list is really long Ian Wadkins, Pete Doherty, Kanye West just to name a few and to make it perfectly clear “I AM BAD MOUTHING THEM!!” And I challenge anyone to come up with anything POSITIVE about them!!..........🤬

Nice!! I wish mine was as big as yours! That sounded really dodgy but you know what I mean!!............😳

Once again this has changed the fella that wanted it at first now just wants a yellow Strat, Chrome hardware and an all black neck with yellow dot fret markers which is almost finished The original body of this skip find build is now being used for another commissioned build it’s going to be a Strat/Tele hybrid in Satin Black with White pickguard, black hardware and rosewood fretboard with matching black headstock Heres how it looks so far: The yellow ex- Ibby body is now going to be for me now when I get chance to finish it.........😀

Irrelevant how professional and successful another musician is people are entitled to their own opinions about that person good or bad and voicing that opinion if it’s negative doesn't mean you are bad mouthing them I'm sure there are musicians that you don’t particularly favour or you think are overrated etc

I meant to put in the OP that the rad is off and is never used but I think I’m going to remove it any way give me a little bit more space??..........😀

I’ve started trying to sort out my ‘Music/Guitar room’ in my house (mostly because Mrs Jimothey is getting hacked off with all my basses in the front room!) it’s nowhere near finished but was interested to see how other people have done there’s?? and hopefully nick some ideas!! Heres mine just started today please bear in mind the room is only 2.1m x 1.8m so I’m having to be quite creative on how I can fit everything in!?! the timber still needs to be painted the same colour as the wall I’ve worked out I will be able to fit 9 on the wall and 2 that I play the most on stands on the floor I’ve still got 3 more to go in but that doesn’t include another 2 that I’m going to start building soon and it’s lucky that I’ve only got a little practice amp because f**k knows where I’m going to fit anything bigger than that in?? I think it’s going to be cosy to say the least.........😀

I’ve braised Alu before (which I found very difficult!!) but never tried to solder it and because being in the building trade I’ve learnt how to do other trades over the years I can solder Copper with no problem I only used the Alu foil tape because I already had it but I’ve ordered a 4m x 30mm conductive adhesive Copper roll from eBay for £4 inc p&p to replace it and should have enough to do my Jazz and ‘72 style P bass aswell...........🤞

Thank I haven’t but I’m thinking about ripping out the Alu and replacing it with copper instead to stop any other problems

Sorry I got my wires crossed (get it hee hee!!) I thought the problem was that I wasn’t getting a good ground hence why I’m getting the noise not that something was touching the ground that shouldn’t?
