Slacking

OK, I could blame it on the sudden run of summer weather... or the chores around the house... or the high temps in the garage. But the unvarnished truth is I've been slacking-off on the M3 over the last week or two. Yeah, all those things above are factors, but it's time to put the nose to the grindstone on this project.

So, this weekend is moving weekend - I'm going to move the organ into my basement. It will be easier to work on down there, not to mention cooler, too. The garage is getting quite warm these days (into the 90's). I got a combination power cord grommet and stress-relief plug from my friend Joe (thanks Joe!) that will go in, along with the new fuse holder and a 1/8" mono jack for my line out. I'm going with 1/8" rather than the more standard 1/4" because there is limited room on the amp chassis to add a jack.

I may also be buying a used Peavey KB-60 keyboard amp from Daddy's Junky Music. It should be in at the local store in a few days. If it looks and works good, it will be a better amplifier solution than the Carvin bass combo I'm currently using. The Peavey has a 12" woofer and a horn tweeter and features 2 separate input channels, and a headphone output for silent practice.

So we'll see how this all goes and hopefully I'll have a lot of news to share here on babyb3 after the weekend!
