Thanks man. I'm about to knock cab #2 out in a few. Then try to troubleshoot the guitar problem. I fixed everything but the neck pickup volume pot not rolling off like it is supposed to. Also, I need to swap caps too. The .047 caps that the Seymour Duncan wiring diagram recommended are way too dark. I'm gonna go back to the stock Gibson caps. I think they are .022.

I don't think it is the pot, I think it is something with the pickup itself. It might be fucked up since it came out of a guitar I broke during a show a few years ago.

That's weird with the pots though, I've definitely wired switches upside down and pots in the wrong place but I've never had one do what your describing with the half volume not full off problem. Did you use a schematic to do all the wiring?
Thanks man. I like it a lot better too. I was originally gonna get them like this but right before I put in my order I saw that Al's cabs were the same way so I switched it to the black and silver. I like that combo, but I just can't stand looking at the fucked up job that they did on it. I mean, its like they don't have a set way to do it and just slapped it on there blindfolded or something. I did notice that the grill cloth on the farst cabs I ordered was put on really neat and the one I just replaced had stapled bunched up in one area and a few in other places. Definitely not as neat as the ones I got a few years ago.

Damn, that looks fantastic now. Way better than before.
Thanks, can't wait to get the other done and stacked up.

The bassist of the horribly inexperienced Jam band before us, disappeared after their set and took over 10 minutes to get his gear off stage and we had to push him to do so. And because he slacked he apparently left his jacket on stage, so in the middle of one of our songs he sneaks up on stage next to me to grab his jacket then stands up and knocks my bass with his head and tries to tell me "I'm sorry dude", and I'm not sure if my reaction was appropriate but I felt it necessary, but I told him "Don't fucking apologize, get the fuck off the stage!". He got this wide eyed look of, holy shit I just realized what I did and scuttled off the stage. So I figure the ordeal is over, no biggie. But I was wrong, he comes back during a sample interlude 2 songs later and ask's me while I'm in my stage zone if I see a stratocaster gig bag on stage... So I lean over and tell him "Now is not the fucking time, you should have handled that before we went on" and I think it finally sunk in, that either I was a grade A asshole or he was an A+ dumbass. Do you guys think that my responses were appropriate? and have you guys ever had similar things happen while your on stage playing?
Fuck that asshole.

I lost it. I turned round and said "WOULD YOU EVER SHUT UP!?" I immediately regretted it. The lads just got up and walked out. I should have been more patient and simply 'shhh'ed them, but I lost my temper. It happens, I keep telling myself. It helps ease my conscience.
once i was was watching a movie and enjoying a delicious burrito but these fucking teenagers behind me were being so fucking obnoxious with their constant banter and comments. i stood up and turned around and threw my delicious burrito right into this kids face and yelled at him to shut the fuck up. it was awesome. it definitely worked. dude didn't say another word. i'm a way bigger asshole than you are. in skip's position i may have punched the fucker. stay off the stage dude.

supercollider is fucking awesome. it's a high gain monster, but as long as that's what you want you will probably love it. great fucking pedal.
Haha, you are my hero.
The guy's lucky I didn't go with the Parker method of dealing with stage trespassers. Lil guy wouldn't have stood a chance.
Looking inside my cabs you can see some rough cuts and stuff on interior bracing, wonky screws, etc. But they sure as hell are solid and sound good, so i'm not complaining too much. When you took yours apart was the grill cloth stapled to the exterior cab shell with the baffle placed behind it or was it stapled to the outer edges of the baffle? I'm pondering redoing the grill cloth on my 2x15... When i swapped the speakers I didn't notice that the bracket ring ont he speakers was shallower and when i put everything back together and turned it around the bolts were poking through the grill cloth and I had no more time before our show 
It's all ready in rough shape so I might not worry about the grill cloth and just get shorter bolts and go back in there and swap em out.
