Are they not tightened to the wall yet? The install guide says, "Helpful Hint: Due to the manufacturing process, a slight bow in the SlatWall MX® Strip is normal. This bow is naturally removed by the installation process."

Saw that but assumed they meant bowed lengthwise, not cupped crosswise.


Still on honeydews.

Did the trade.
The bass is right about mint, plays well and seems to sound good. It's a way different animal, been a minute since I've played a shorty.
The build is tight and pretty robust, feels way more substantial than the Höfner version. And the wood is a nice quilted Maple, it looks it anyway. The poly finish is standard Epiphone, heavy. But I'm good with it!
The guy was happy to roll the cab away, we got it down the steps and into his truck ez. He sent a pic of it stacked under another one, and next to a stack of the Ampeg HN series cabs next to it. He's psyched.
Here's the bass...

The guy has a pair of pr hlfs? That’s over 250 pounds! Sounds like my kinda crazy!

Nice score on the brand new looking bass! Not my cuppa, but I get it that some love them.

Speaking for just myself Chuck, not so sure I’m in the killer bass player category, but I have been known to kill quite a few songs. :roflmao:

I just wrapped up the Warwick Thumb Tbird and it’s a roaring bottom end success! I’m thinking it’ll be a phenomenal slapper as well. I really need to get it into the hands of someone who is a proficient slapper. It’s definitely coming up your way for a full evaluation even if I have to ship it.
