The pink ones are paisley, not flowers. The originals used wallpaper!

A little while ago I rediscovered a small bag full of components for a microphone. A high quality large diaphragm condenser insert, 1 GR resistor(!) and a FET amongst other parts. The plan was to build them into the rather nice casing for a USB condenser microphone. I never got round to it, but I just was cleaning out my bookmarks and found this: https://www.audioimprov.com/AudioImprov/Mics/Entries/2017/5/7_Schoctava%2C_a_simple_mic_circuit.html Watch this space!

If you don't need a P you haven't experienced a grumpy prostate.

That's all octave skips. Focus on just playing the one pair of notes until you can keep it going smoothly at speed, then start moving the pattern up and down the neck (think South Bank Show theme). That's where I am. My approach would be: Learn the patterns, just staying on the lowest note of each pair. Then put skips and patterns together and try the song.

The Thunder 1 on the right sounds more like a P-bass than my Precisions do.

It's not the issue he's making it out to be. The screws often lightly touch the neck pocket holes, but I've never found one where there was enough interference to stop the screws tightening properly.

Just s thought... if you want to transfer vibration a single point contact is best, not an area, I think. An area contact damps vibrations.

That horse boltedfiftybyears ago...

Elf literally fits in a (big) pocket. I found the speaker jack socket a bit too deep... I had a poorly engaged jack pop out twice, which is not good. Easily fixed by trimming it with a craft knife, but I suggest you check it to avoid warranty issues.

Nice amps, what inspired me to get a Terror. I've used it with an acoustic at a couple of 'wooden music' open mics.

Enjoy!

Who can forget Carol Black?

And really think about portability. Castors don't lift 100lb combos into the back of cars or up steps.

I thought the same. Elf through 2x8 was limp, I asked if I could try it through a decent cab. I swapped to a Ampeg portaflex 15 and it was night and day.

Excellent creative night tonight.

Just had a great rehearsal. We started by regining the structure ofour 'standout' song. Then my Deep Purple/Black Sabbath style slow riff song, and we added a double tempo bridge. Really chuffed thst everyone likes it. Then the backing singer shared something barely audible on his phone and I came up with a line that worked and everyone joined in, but this one is more like Kraftwerk so we're covering a fair range. Then we worked up a song the lead singer had previously recorded as just vicals and acoustic. We are all enjoying the creativity.

My big hobby is now part of my work. It does take the shine off it.

Don't underestimate how fast and accurate a good handsaw is, just a disposable hardpoint will do. Also, a batten clamped in place will guide a cheaper rotary saw or even a router accurately.

My understanding is it would be 87mm total lenght of the tube so from the front of the flange.

This is clearly pre-refin, the dark tone in a b&w is right for a deep red. Great to have such a record and his wife seems pleased it's gone to someone who cares.

Oooh! I have one of those combos itxs imaginatively called a 1110 (gp11 + 10" speakers). Mine sounded a bit rough and needed the matched transistors in the front end of the power amp replacing. It's also got the 'wrong' psu from new, so I was able to add an extra pair of NOS mosfets to unleash unimagined power levels... I'll add more to the story. It had Eminence Beta 10s (maybe not the best choice) fitted and one was reverse polarity so swapping its leads around greatly helped. It weighs about 96lbs so I added 50mm castors, which lasted a couple of months. So I fitted heavy duty 75mm ones. Bought it from a lad in the midlands. He had a mate there who had helped him move it. They offered to carry it to my estate, and where aghast when the old fart picked it up and put it in on his own. Sometimes it's not strength it's just knowing how to lift safely, but 'it made I larf'.

Do You think it was orinally Dakota red?

Hope it all turns out for the best.
