FYI Will - You can get sheets of birch plywood from Home Depot. And a higher grade of birch ply from cabinet makers. If you lay it out right, you can get a 2x12 cabinet from one 4'x8' sheet. Home Depot here will even cut the plywood for free, so all you need to do is jigsaw the cab handles-speaker holes-jackplate hole.
Plus; another Ampeg user, geeheeb! Tho I'm fairly sure Assuck used the 1st gen VH140C, not the SS series. Same preamp and face-melting distortion though.

I've been meaning to build another cab as well. And a pedalboard, since I seem to be acquiring so damn many.

So over the weekend a friend of mine from high school sold me his Squier jazz bass. Basically he never played it because he's into five string basses. The neck was also replaced with a maple neck. It's a bolt on, but I guess for whatever reason there's some dried glue/epoxy shit on it, apparently he did the job while wasted. It sounds very bright and I like it a lot, best $100 I've spent in a long time. I play it through a practice amp that looks very similar to this, it's a Bassman and not a Rumble though: I gotta admit, as much as I hate Fender guitars, their basses are amazing.

For $100 that's definitely a deal, but I still can't get into Fender or Squier basses all that much.

Out of all the now-insanely-price gear I've owned over the years, that's the one instrument I'd like back. Tho I wouldn't mind having the Custom Shop USA Strat or the old Mustang back - to sell!

www.vintaxe.com/forum_pics/1967kingston.JPGI bought a 1969 Kingston guitar that looks exactly like the one in the link above. The owner before me sanded down one side of it so that it played more like a strat. And they left it unfinished. How should I seal it? (it looks like who ever owned the guitar in the picture above also sanded it down, but he finnished it)

As for finish, if you want to leave it plain woodgrain, just use good old nitrocelluose. That's what all the classic Fender and Gibson guitars use. That guitar would look good any color though.

I don't wont it to be a color. I really like the wood grain. Its just rough feeling and i dont like how it feels on my arm when i play it. I just wont it to be sealed and not rough.

I bought my bass with a Radiohead sticker on it and you're complaining about the finish hurting your arm? Small potatoes indeed.

Seth, don't be a baby. My bass isn't finished. Will does your bass absorb water? When i sweat on it, it changes colors. I dont think you get what im saying. IT IS LIKE A PIECE OF WOOD. Its not sealed I dont wont to change the color, I just wont to seal it.. I wish i knew what i was talking about.

Nitrocellulose can be clear (or colored or metalflake), and it'll make it feel smooth. You can even buy it in spraycans and coat it super thin if all you want is to not feel the woodgrain.

I actually sanded the finish off the back of the neck and the portion above the first pickup where I rest my thumb on my bass. Gives it a worn in feel, and I'm less likely to slip when I get all sweaty.
