Good idea, I wonder who could move it though? Don't see mods or admin in these parts much.

Does anyone have the layout or schematic for this one? I've searched the forum extensively but no luck

#004 somewhere between 1979 and the early eighties.

Did John Mayer recover the #004 to a different colour tolex??? :?

It definitely looks black now (specially the pic on the side) or is it the light? Faceplate looks the same

Probably just using a new head cab and saving the original blue one from road rash for resale purposes.

Very cool. Looks a bit like the SSS #5 clone that I built a while back (bottom). I designed the chassis with #04 in mind.

Those look awesome, mhartman! Did you do the chassis yourself?

Thank you. I did the CAD and artwork and then had a fabrication house do 10 of them. I sold the others off. I learned CAD just because I wanted to do the chassis. Selling the others paid for all of the chassis and parts for my build (plus a bit of pocket cash).

My apologies for hijacking the 004 thread!

Nice! Shame you don't have any more, I would have loved to have picked one up! I'm aiming to make some type of ODS for my next build, but working on a SSS is certainly something I would like to try in the future!

Regarding the gut shot. Seems that this one does not have the cf driver tube in the poweramp section. Just a "normal" PI.
