When the time comes I'll have to get more info off you about the aluminium extrusion. I've decided it's going to hang on a wall mount on our chimney breast when not in use (which won't be very often)

From here: Aluminium Extrusions Base- & Lidmaker

Lidmaker - part No. 6104

Basemaker - part No. 6112

Then there's the corner braces, corners, catches, hinge, handle etc.

All from the same place?

All from the same place?

Yes ..... everything from there or Penn Fabrication at Washington.

I had a "bit to do" with the design of some of Adam's stuff and had an agency for his stuff from Geordieland to Jockland so my loyalties lay there rather than Penn, but Penn's stuff is good too.

The electronics are very complicated mate, not just the usual volume and tone. There's on board parametric equalisation which gives a vast aray of different tones. Push and pull knobs activate active and passive circuitry so you can switch from a standard arrangement to give a massive growl.
There's an exert from a documentary called Thunderfingers on youtube all about John Entwistle who designed the bass originally. He's got his stage amplification set up in a room in his house and he demonstrates it's versatility to Gordon Giltrap.
It is an absolutely terrifying instrument.

My ex-husband was engaged to Gordon Giltrap's daughter. I've met him a few times, lovely man and fantastic guitarist.
