That's the idea for wheels, yes. I think all this stuff is pricey though...

$9 per wheel/casing doesn't seem high to me, but $40 for the handle does. I have never looked for the handles before so not sure if the $40 is reasonable or high.

There is this handle option you could add to the back to pull the cab if you go with the tilt back wheels setup.

I guess you liked my wig.

Occasionally I can't make up my mind so I got a Vintage Pro and a Pro. Can I get a number?

They breed y'know. Then you have a flock.

While I am a die hard Tbird guy, I’m also one who believes there is a place for a nice Pbass with Chromes. Hope you were able to keep one.

That is why I built the P-Bird. P sound, 'Bird ergos.

This is what is loaded on my Genz Benz Uber 212 cab.

Medium Recessed Tilt Caster Housing - BLACK

If you buy from Reliable, buy it all in one go. Their shipping is really expensive. I get things from the local hardware and fastener shop whenever I can, partly for that reason.

Found out my cousin lost her house the other day. All humans and livestock are ok, but they lost some kittens and rabbits. Good thing she has an old school tough and positive outlook!

Oh crap!!!

Fellow Thunderbirders: If I fail to quickly respond to anything directed my way, I'm in the early stages of prep for tomorrow's colonoscopy so I may be otherwise occupied.

Been there.

 

[JJR58]

The prep is worse than the operation, just put on some PJ's and cuddle up on the toilet for a few hours.

That pretty much sums it up. And no real sleep either.

There's a common theme running through this thread, everyone seems to have had a colonoscopy except me

Pretty good, but the cab is just over 21" high when I stand it up on-end, which is how I want to use it - 10" speakers set vertically. So a pull up type is def the way to go.

Actually, the youngest pre grunge gang would have been in their 20's in the 1980's, which means nearly all of them will be 70+ years old 20 years from now, with some in their 80's and even 90's. F course this prediction does not apply to Kieth Richards, who has somehow found the perfect mix of drugs, alcohol and lifestyle needed to keep a person alive forever (although they might not look very alive)...

I love him honestly, but what a train wreck he turned out to be.

 

[JJR58]

Could be worse... he could say "Look! No hands!"

@Count Bassie I see that Tbird still at GC in Warwick

Did you give up on it?

Or me. My doc wants me to do a screening test that involves providing a “sample” to the lab
Oh well, worse things happen at sea!

Ya know... some folks like it when ya slow down & take yer time... just sayin'

 

[theFixer]

Say, I'm looking to add a pull up handle and tilt back wheels to a small 210 cab. Anyone know a good supplier for that kind of hardware?

Thanks.

Airport gift shop?

At a rehearsal last night, the guitarist pulls out a purple Les Paul that looks 1/4” too thick, and has the robot tuner gizmo. I’ve never seen one before. He had it programmed for 3 different tunings.
Although it worked, he was still tweaking the tuners manually...

Both of my son's Gibsons has the robot tuners. They work great for him and he's a master at programming them and recalling whatever tuning he needs when it's some obscure tuning and not already in the preset tunings that are available straight out of the box.
