FM-12 III in progress

[Davus PG]

@luke , looks cool! I did something similar with mine, and it’s really worked well for me- I’m excited to see how yours turns out! Please keep us updated!View attachment 68822

Holy Hernia Batman!!!

Does look very cool though

I guess it depends on the venue you're playing, but I always want my III as far away from the audience and their pints of beer as possible

My main gig serves wine in tiny cups, so I can get away with having it up front!
Ya know, it’s an awkward shape, but not too bad, really. I humped a Traynor YGL-3a around with a 2x12 for years, and this whole board weighs a lot less than that beast.

Do you guys actually play out with those rigs??? OR are they just used is in your music rooms????

I play at church these days. If I were a touring musician, it’d be in a rack. So this board travels between home and church, and it’s not too bad.

Looks good! It’s fun working on this kind of stuff, isn’t it?

I grew up in a machine shop environment so while “fun” wouldn’t be the word I’d use, familiar would be.

I was born under a bad sign, grew up in a machine shop environment and now live in a van down by the river so...

I'm free to do motivational speaking gigs if anyone's interested....

BBWWAAAAHAHAHAHA!!! That was great. I suspect you’re running for mayor as well?

This looks like it belongs at the feet of Geddy Lee. Nice work.

Tomorrow throw one more coat of paint on roof to get hinges hidden.

Outlet on roof is for laptop and cell phone charging.

USBs go to III and FC-12 for updating easily.

Cubby hole to store wires and stuff.

Music stand screws in, either for scores or as laptop table.

On the right side:

Two 1/4” inputs, magnetic and piezo.

Two pair XLR outs, to CLRs and FOH.

AC power in

Nice neat work.

I would always wonder if I would kick a knob on the III that close to your foot. Think I would put in a plexiglas strip that fits inside the handles.

But a cool solution.
