Made it through my first 4 hour set since the whole exploding innards thing. Went better than I feared! Nearly back! Have two more 4 hour sets Friday and Saturday. Hoping things get a little better everyday

So I separated the head of a Peavey Combo 300 from its cab a couple weeks ago. Tonight I used its bi-amp capability, sending the highs going to an Eden D410-T, and I sent the lows to the Trace 250SMX head, and into my DIY 210 cab. The Epi Bird benefitted greatly from that signal routing: the Eden handles mids and highs beautifully, and that little 210 can blow out some low end. Some time with the Peavey's eq got it to sit together nicely. The sound was clear and full, not too much of anything. It was a well-ordered sound, felt great.
I'm liking the bi-amp idea.

I'm just going to be inserting little entries here about my bi-amp adventures... I get bored, see...

I find the head from my Peavey was-a-Combo 300 really sounds good with the bird. And if it's good with the bird, I'll work with it from there for the other axes.
I'm using the 300 for the Eden D410T, and the TE/Peavey Elf for the little DIY 210 cab (fed from the lows from the Peavey's crossover), that's the one that gets a nice bloomy low-end.
Some point today I'll just make sure the phase is not out between the two cabs. I don't think it is, esp because there seems to be plenty of bass. I'm working with eq to get through the sonic bramble... there are a lot of variables here. That Peavey is a loud and wooly beast. It's a good amp, I think!
I'm visiting the rig when I can, life is fairly busy here.

Edited post! Anyway, carry on...

I am intrigued to hear the adventures of bi-amping. Because it is cool and something I am unlikely to ever do. And because I used to be a Biathelete, you'll get no "Ahems" from me on Bi-amping.

Ah, that makes more sense. 1/4" is substantial, but the thickness I suppose doesn't bother me that much other than vintage correctness, so maybe it'll get shaved down one day and maybe it won't. I took out the tape measure and compared it to this picture (below), and everything lines up pretty closely on the BaCH. I will likely need to get a different pickguard as the current one sits a little high on the body so it's closer to the edges than a Gibson, and my OCD is kicking in on that.

@TBird1958 what did you use to black out the headstock on the Cherry one you had? I'd like to do the same before it gets a full refin down the line.

Dylan, sorry to be slow getting back to you I'm on a trip with the band until Monday, I have your pickgard scans on my work computer. Regarding the headstock on my BaCH NRs I airbrushed them black with lacquer base model train paint then over coated them with clear gloss, less than an hour of work

That's cool. I wonder what the neck route is...
Click to expand...

Neck pockets are routed to standard U.S. specs (2 1/2" x 3 7/8" x 5/8").
Some adjustments and sanding may be required depending on the neck.
