Well it's unusual... I quite like it, not enough to want it though...

Let me know how I can help. Rob

Shout if you need any 3d printing done. I was thinking stuff like amp panels and things like. Some stuff is easier if you print it. Looking forward to reading the next steps. Happy to help.

Simple, subtle, innocuous, subdued, understated.... Five words that have nothing to do with your setup. I had imagined something slightly less than the control room of NASA 😊 it looks fantastic and I have no chance of replicating anything here apart from the tuner. However I am going to play with biamping just for the hell of it. Keep this thread going. It's great.

There's definitely a humerus vibe to Basschat (see what I did there), I was going to say it's possibly due to the British humour, but realised that we have people from all around the world who seem to think the same way. I suspect that if you don't take yourself too seriously for the stuff that doesn't need to be and be sensible on the stuff that does need to sensible on , you'll fit right in. I think your empty pedalboard is a great joke and only miserable gits would think otherwise. People do sometimes blow up with each other, but we seem to survive. Get involved and tell us all about the biamping. I'd love to know what you are doing and why it works for you. I was thinking of using my Ampeg combo and a Yahama HS7 speaker to do something similar just to see what it sounds like. I've got the kit so why not try it and see if it works. There's definitely an experimental culture here, from building your own guitars, building your own pedals, speaker and so on. Not sure anybody has made their own strings but I could be wrong. It's also nice that we have people who have an awful lot of knowledge on their specialised subjects, be it old Fenders, building stuff, mending stuff, IT or how to do something. Certainly the build diaries have some fabulous work listed, absolutely top class builders. Not been to New Hampshire for a very long time (30+ years) when I worked in DC and travelled a bit around the east coast. Lovely, actually gorgeous, in spring and autumn. Anyway, welcome to Basschat.

Wow. I did not know they existed. I am interested TBH. Not cheap though. Rob

But on the plus side, you now know more about Imperial grub screws than you ever did before.

The man wins a cigar...

Try googling "imperial grub screw 1/8 uk" A number of UK companies pop up. The problem now maybe whats the thread on the grub screw. That could be tricky to find out. Why imperial measurements haven't died out is beyond me. As an exercise for the reader, what sized screw fitting is on almost every camera ever made, including Russian and Japanese? Rob

Building the Prusacaster first will give you an idea of what you want to do. They use Telecaster bits so it's quite easy to get the parts you need. I used decent plywood as the backbone as I had that easily available. Plywood is easily shaped with hand tools as well. Once you've built that, then see where you want to go. Rob

Don't forget we still have the "NW& Scottish Bass Bash and Petting Zoo" on May 10th. Technically in Yorkshire, though it's on the edge and we are closer to Lancaster than York or Leeds

Luke's a great bloke. No issues whatsover buying from him. Thanks Rob

That's exactly what I was going to do.
